The problem I see with a paper trail is that, for instance, union reps or employers could demand the voting receipts of their members/employees to confirm that they voted correctly.
As usual, an ad hominem attack instead of addressing the issue.
Prove him wrong. Prove that more than four of the IPCC reviewers specifically endorsed the central theme of the IPCC report, that greenhouse gas forcing is causing climate change.
But you won't do that. You'll just continue with your ad hominem attacks.
"I don't exactly care about diminished barley harvest..." Well, too bad for you, that's what this thread is about... that global warming caused the barley shortage.
Wrong.
http://articles.lancasteronline.com/local/4/215476...a surplus of hops for the past few years pulled the price down and helped drive growers to plant more profitable crops... Tell me again that global warming caused the hops shortage.
Prove that "climate change" zealots don't care about facts, just getting their way.
"Well, you're welcome to read the IPCC 4th Assessment Report [www.ipcc.ch]. You know, the one produced by actual climate scientists? Why don't you explain where it goes wrong." I'm glad you asked that question.
IPCC Peer Review Process an Illusion, Finds SPPI Analysis
http://icecap.us/index.php/go/political-climate/peer_review_what_peer_review/
In Chapter 9, the key science chapter, the IPCC concludes that 'it is very highly likely that greenhouse gas forcing has been the dominant cause of the observed global warming over the last 50 years.' The IPCC leads us to believe that this statement is very much supported by the majority of reviewers. The reality is that there is surprisingly little explicit support for this key notion. Among the 23 independent reviewers just 4 explicitly endorsed the chapter with its hypothesis, and one other endorsed only a specific section. Moreover, only 62 of the IPCCâ(TM)s 308 reviewers commented on this chapter at all. As with other chapters, simple corrections, requests for clarifications or refinements to the text which did not challenge the IPCCâ(TM)s conclusions are generally treated favourably, but comments which dispute the IPCC's claims or their certainty are treated with far less indulgence. Some "scientific consensus" you got there, Bub.
"According to a New Zealand scientist, Jim Salinger, the price of beer in and around Australia is going to be under increasing upward pressure as reductions in malting barley yields are experienced as a side effect of our ongoing climate shift."
When it comes to belief in global warming, the scientific method is completely unnecessary, as long as you agree with the mythical "consensus" dogma.
Where is the peer-reviewed article documenting the cause of the diminished barley harvest as being "climate change?"
I get it. No peer-reviewed article is required to PROVE AGW, only to disprove it.
There are plenty of places where water is naturally full of alligators, it doesn't mean it's okay or desirable to introduce crocs in places where there aren't any.
There are lots of waters that don't have crocodiles, but there no waters that have no radiation.
Radiation is striking your skin at this very moment! Run for your life!
...since the beginning of time. Everybody knows that.
The fact that climate is now changing after billions of years of being exactly the same is proof positive that the rich countries must be punished and all their wealth transferred to third-world dictators.
Well, if you don't think capitalism fairly distributes "wealth," under socialism/communism the disparity is even worse.
Besides, "wealth" after the first few million dollars is no longer houses and cars and mistresses, it's capital invested in enterprises that employ and enrich lots of other people.
But some people think "the rich" are anybody who has more than they do, and they hate them for it.
When will we be treated to 24/7 news coverage of the first mass-shooting/suicide committed by a modafinil-popping perp?
Oh, I forgot. The MSM won't mention the modafinil part, for fear of being sued by the "ethical" pharmaceutical industry.

A climate physicist... and an economist? Who just happen to have a new book out that will explain, for a mere $24.95, how they're the only people who have figured this out?
Come on, you can do better than that.
So you accept without question the superstitious ramblings of a divinity school dropout and former US Senator whose US Senator daddy bequeathed him his seat, but reject out-of-hand the statements of a bona fide climate scientist?

"It has long been accepted that the Earth has experienced climate cycles, most notably the 90,000-year Ice Age cycles. But in the past 20 years or so, modern science has discovered evidence that within those broad Ice Age cycles, the Earth also experiences 1,500-year warming-cooling cycles. The Earth has been in the Modern Warming portion of the current cycle since about 1850, following a Little Ice Age from about 1300 to 1850. It appears likely that warming will continue for some time into the future, perhaps 200 years or more, regardless of human activity."
"What I paid out of my own pocket was more than what the medical insurance paid for and I can't even deduct it from my taxes."
As an evil rich person with a job, you are expected to pay for your own medical care.
Your medical premiums are used to provide free health care to illegal immigrants, which is why so many emergency rooms in cities near the Mexican border have had to shut down.

Here in Missouri, it was Democrat election fraud as usual, so it is not newsworthy. The election was close so the inner-city precincts of St. Louis and Kansas City were able to wait until statewide results were in so they could gauge how many Democrat votes they needed to manufacture.
