    Sorry but do you actually think the scientists of the world are only a couple of people? Or that anyone who has a degree in a science related subject is somehow representative of the entire scientific community?

    This was a DEBATE

    We had a televised debate here - that chocolate was better than sex

    Do you honestly think that the debaters actually thought that sex was better than chocolate?

    Even if it were not a debate he is talking in terms of quantum cosmology - highly theoretical highly debatable and highly entertaining IF and only IF you can understand the basic theoretical concepts underpinning the debate - obviously the journalist did not

    And why wouldn't they? A handful of wealthy nations foolishly agree to paying a lot of money to 165+ other nations without requiring those other nations to do anything. Why wouldn't those 165+ nations take free money from idiots?

    So why would every developed country agree to give this money away? What is in it for them?

    Not every developed country is giving away money, just a few. In the case of the USA, its driven by people who hate the USA, feel guilty that they are Americans, have been fooled into believing AGW, or make their living off of the AGW scam. And I'm sure some of the big supporters, like Tom Steyer, are making a fortune off their "concern for humanity".

    China is giving away 3.1 billion. Why? Are they making a fortune off it?

    Research university hides results of fracking study which fails to prove it’s dangerous

    University research department tasked with conducting a study of the harmful effects of fracking on groundwater and other environmental concerns funded by groups which have a vested interest in proving how harmful fracking is quietly shuts down when it failed to produce any evidence of ground water contamination near commercial fracking sites.
    ..................
    Geologists at the University of Cincinnati just wrapped up a three-year investigation of hydraulic fracturing and its impact on local water supplies.

    The result? There’s no evidence—zero, zilch, nada—that fracking contaminates drinking water. Researchers hoped to keep these findings secret.

    Why would a public research university boasting a top-100 geology program deliberately hide its work? Because, as lead researcher Amy Townsend-Small explained, “our funders, the groups that had given us funding in the past, were a little disappointed in our results. They feel that fracking is scary and so they were hoping our data could point to a reason to ban it.”
    .......................
    http://www.newsweek.com/hiding-good-news-about-fracking-451400

    This research is basically squashed with no public release after three years of investigative work. The oil and gas industry is providing more than 2 million jobs in the United States and is projected to increase that number to 5 million by 2025.

    Is that what is in the Paris accord or only what is THOUGHT to be in it?

    What has fracking got to do with climate change?

    This is the equivalent of claiming all priests are paedophiles..................

    China will never compromise their economic development to reduce CO2 emissions. Their commitment (it hasn't happened yet BTW) is only made to lead the developed nations with "CO2 guilt" into further limiting their economic growth. China's investment is not to aid third world nations but to adversely affect the developed nations economies. And yes, they are making a fortune out of it.

    China isn't giving away 3.1 billion dollars. They are investing in new coal plants in other nations. So is Japan and it has nothing to do with the Paris agreement.

    Actually posters believing in the man made warming are the deniers.

    They deny that science has yet to prove man does this dastardly deed to earth.

    The issue is clear. It's AGW and the evidence is overwhelming

    Computer models and conjecture are not evidence.

    Start listing the 'tons of other evidence' other than all of the failed projections. Computer models are not evidence of anything.

    NASA AGW evidence page. What specifically on that page do you dispute? This should be funny because you are too lazy to look any of it up. Lol

    Nope, you start listing evidence other than just saying 'tons of evidence', not passing off to pages you don't link to or explain. So far all you have provided are unproven statements and logical fallacies.
