Don't Worry About Global Warming, Say 16 Scientists in the WSJ

An anonymous reader writes "According to an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal, there's 'no compelling scientific argument for drastic action to 'decarbonize' the world's economy'. From the article: 'The lack of warming for more than a decade—indeed, the smaller-than-predicted warming over the 22 years since the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) began issuing projections—suggests that computer models have greatly exaggerated how much warming additional CO2 can cause. Faced with this embarrassment, those promoting alarm have shifted their drumbeat from warming to weather extremes, to enable anything unusual that happens in our chaotic climate to be ascribed to CO2. The fact is that CO2 is not a pollutant. CO2 is a colorless and odorless gas, exhaled at high concentrations by each of us, and a key component of the biosphere's life cycle.'"

    And I very much doubt you have 16k, as most scientists were simply quiet as the main ring-leaders of the global warming movement would be able to stop you from being published in scientific journals if you spoke against them.

    Sorry, the global warming leaders you cultists follow were never actually engaged in science, but in an international attempt at re-shaping the sociological makeup of the world - driven wholly by politicians, not science.

    Two responses and one with fucked up formatting. Are you rattled?

    I'm glad you find your gender swapping amusing, I certainly do.

    No there's no question that knowledge is only knowledge i gained years ago. But some cherry picked data that only becomes true if you pick the right selection of years, such that 4 years matter, has nothing to do with climate trends. Climate trends are over at least 30 years. I'm reminded that in 2010 ish, it became possible for deniers to claim that the temperature trend was down. If you considered a period of just 10 years. And drew a straight line through the first and last point. And of course the following year that possibility broke down again.

    But we're done all this before. You pop up every time theres a GW thread on Slashdot, with the same old shit. And after the first two rounds of me proving you wrong, only for you to repeat the same shit the next time, it became obvious you're not honest.

    You're a freak who lies about his politics, his gender, and posts stuff on global warming that he knows is false.
