Global Warming 'Undeniable,' Report Says
BergZ writes "Scientists from around the world are providing even more evidence of global warming. 'A comprehensive review of key climate indicators confirms the world is warming and the past decade was the warmest on record,' the annual State of the Climate report declares. Compiled by more than 300 scientists from 48 countries, including Canada, the report from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said its analysis of 10 indicators that are 'clearly and directly related to surface temperatures, all tell the same story: Global warming is undeniable.'"
Why do I get that sick feeling that the heat from this discussion will only make the global warming problem worse?
I need trepanation like I need a hole in the head.
I am deeply offended that you imply I am a corporate shill, or even worse a Republican. Thems fighting words!
If I were God, wouldn't I protect my churches from acts of me?
Republican or a corporate shill
There's a difference?
Who is this "we"? Oh I get it, you're playing one of those little hyperbolic games where you ascribe malevolence to researchers, sort of like how the IDers do. I'm afraid, Cinderella, the shoe fits on your foot.
It's TRUE! Where do you think the stereotype of "EVIL SCIENTIST" came from?
I am certain that Global Warming is an evil plot that the entire International Scientific community created in order to .... in order to...control the World! That's it! And to cause higher taxes!
Scientists want higher taxes and that's why they invented this whole global warming myth! And the reason why they want higher taxes is because.....because....um.......haven't gotten that far yet. But when I do, BEWARE! I will blow all of the Global Warming believers' arguments out of the water with my water tight logic!

Am I the only one who thinks news of an impending rise in sea level is brought to us by a group called "NOAA?"

I can easily disprove the claims of these so called "scientists." They claim that global warming is undeniable, and yet we see people denying it right here in the comments. Ha HA!
Now, if they had said something along the lines of "At this point, the proof is so overwhelming that only mentally deficient conservative hippie-hating anti-environmentalist shills for big business will attempt to deny it," well, that is just self evidently true.

Strangely enough, there are also people who believe that global warming is not happening, and that the cause is not anthropogenic.
This camp is surprisingly large.
If we presume that the environment is ours to do with as we please, then aren't we as guilty of those who caused the destruction of the environment in the first place?

I dunno. Another medieval warm period sounds pretty good to me.
I don't think there is much doubt that global warming is real. The Earth has experienced both global warming and global cooling many times in its past.
The real (and unanswered) question is whether or not the current global warming is anthropogenic. Since past global warmings were not, there's not a lot of reason to believe that this one is. CO2 levels have been higher in the past, atmospheric water vapor has been higher in the past, etc..
If the climate models that indicate anthropogenic causes were correct and rigorous, we could run them retrograde and accurately model the climate of the planet for the past few millennia. Then events like the Medieval Warm Period and the Maunder Minimum would show up. To my knowledge, no one has bothered to create such a model.

This is why I hate commenting on this shit.
And yet you managed to get in so early too.

Not to worry. Nuclear winter will cancel it out long before it becomes a threat.

"Compiled by more than 300 scientists from 48 countries, including Canada ..."
Hmm. I can't tell if the inclusion of Canadian scientists in the 300 is supposed to make me more or less skeptical.
Please turn in your geek card :)

"300 brainwashed or dishonest "scientists" [citation needed] "wouldn't be very hard to find. [citation needed] Personally, I find it hilarious that 300 scientists and a government agency with a vested interest [citation needed] are supposed to convince me of a problem that's been proven false on every accord. [citation needed] The amount of scientists suing the climate change crowd for fraud [citation needed] is more than this puny 300. [citation needed] Give me a break.

No, that starts in the US in 2014, in the UK it has already started. Oh, we weren't talking about healthcare?
Well, that makes one of us.

Yeah! screw the Man, and screw their godless commie "universities"! I never went to one myself, never even finished high-school and I can tell you all this "global warming" bullshit is nothing but a commie liberal scheme to steal our trucks away and ruin everything America stands for.
No problem is insoluble in all conceivable circumstances.
I love how everybody thinks they're a climate scientist now,
Yeah, I love how scientists in other fields are always telling FOO scientists that their FOO studies weren't done following standard scientific procedure with proper controls and data collection. What do BAR scientists know about FOO science? It's completely different! ~
