Koch Bros Study Finds Global Warming Is Real And Man-Made

bledri writes "The results of the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature are in and Richard Muller, the study's director (formerly an AGW skeptic) declares, 'Call me a converted skeptic. Three years ago I identified problems in previous climate studies that, in my mind, threw doubt on the very existence of global warming. Last year, following an intensive research effort involving a dozen scientists, I concluded that global warming was real and that the prior estimates of the rate of warming were correct. I'm now going a step further: Humans are almost entirely the cause.' The study was funded by the Folger Fund, the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, the Fund for Innovative Climate and Energy Research (created by Bill Gates), the Bowes Foundation, the Koch Foundation, and the Getty Foundation."

Those of us who live along coastal cities...

Those of us who live along coastal cities are f*cked. If more evidence turns up to support man-made global climate change, and the ocean levels rise, then climate deniers in congress and the senate should have to pay to relocate everyone living in coastal cities. Fair is fair but, it won't work out that way. -- Without coastal cities, import/export trade and many industries the nation relies on will be crippled. It could very possibly crush the economy and destroy civilization as we know it.

Skeptic?

Richard Muller is a lot of things (a fairly good scientist for one), and the press keeps insisting he's a "former skeptic," but nobody seems to be able to find anything he's ever said that put him in the "skeptic" camp...

The motives of AGW shills, like the hypocrite Al Gore, are quite transparent, as they set up markets and funds to profit from cap & trade and related scams. The center for climate research, for example, is clearly a fount of agenda driven pseudoscience.

I thought they warned you: Never go Full Retard

Imagine the climate is a glass of water, and the water level is temperature.

I was going to briefly post somewhere under this story to mention that measured temperature changes were accidentally doubled

But then I saw your post and realized that real science is totally lost upon the race of fear-inducing mouth breathers that are the core that remains of the AGW Warmists. I'll read no more Warming Cult stuff on Slashdot, you all are beyond hope.

I mean, can you even dress yourself? "Climate is like a glass of water, we are adding more water"....

HOLY CRAP SLASHDOT is 4CHAN.
