    What a nonsense, typical capitalistic ideology.

    What needs to be done is what needs to be done.

    There is money for everything else, (*)(*)(*)(*)ing army and weapons, trillions for Monsanto, trillions for big and greedy companies, and they have what they shouldn't have, a voice in you.....

    But as you have shown us time and time again, it does not matter how qualified and experienced the presenter is, or how academically referenced and correct the material is, if it is contrary to AGW Church doctrine you will find some way to dismiss it. On the other hand you have on numerous occasions held out the same sort of blogs, unreferenced opinions, graphs and material from extremist sites in support of your religious beliefs in agw.

    Sorry - you have yet to present an academically referenced honest (one that does not cherry pick) source

    And BTW = that is a personal attack the next one will not be answered but reported directly to the mods

    Not references - bibliography - there is a difference

    Most of your links are missing - the references themselves include only one that is within a ten year limit - most are far far older and the Co2 figures are from 2000
    As for the actual "Dancing Graphics" well others have done the critiquing of this beautifully

    Chemistry and physics don't change over time. The fact that an experiment was done or observation made years ago does not make it invalid. It would be unscientific to even suggest such a thing. Once again you are not disputing the data but shooting the messenger by saying the message is invalid because it is 'old'. The alarmist certainly use data and scientific results that are 'old' but won't accept it from agw sceptics?

    as for your reference;

    "It's a blog

    What is a blog - an opinion of sum bloke that has been uploaded (won't even refer to it as publishing) onto a website somewhere

    Tell me - how is this more accurate than the classical

    "Sum bloke in da pub who talked like dis tol' me dat waz what it waz"

    You mean no warming? Possibly the same thing that cause the warming.

    - - - Updated - - -

    You realize that many scientists have started blogs because they cannot get published during the current religious persecution. Like Lomborg who believes in AGW but does not think the current environmentalist jihad is the right course got sacked because of the environmentalist jihad.

    Hmmm, so doesn't the fact that seas were higher than now kind of undermine the whole CO2 thingy?

    H8,
    with all the evidence of soil and ice samples taken (density, depth, layer, composition) there was never a time in our Earth history, where our climate changed so quick in just over 150 years.
    Why is it so difficult for you guys to admit we stuffed it up, and more importantly, to address our future behavior?

    LOL, you evidently don't understand the timescale for proxies and how they do not give short timescales such as you suggest. The only thing we have showing 150 year time scales is actual temperature measurements so it is a lack of understanding to suggest that proxies can show the same thing. BTW, even in the proxy data, such things as rapid change are evident. You are also only talking about one scale, from the late 70's to the late 90's with no warming after. A short 20 year change does not show up in proxies.

    Not evident to Bowerbird, but no warming.

    Like IPCC lead author Professor Peter Thorne said of Lewandowsky's latest attack on science.

    Actually they do change otherwise we would not be buying new texts

    Yes the fundamentals remain the same - which is why we know CO2 is causing a greenhouse effect since that has been known since 1890 but it is the fine tuning - what bands of IR radiation? How does that occur?

    As for your comments on a blog - mate I will answer blog with blog because BOTH are of equal value but if you want real science go to somewhere like the Garnaut report

    Yes, the fundamentals in simple experiments but not in the wicked problem of the entire climate. You miss that point. You use blogs yet dismiss blogs. What does that say about you?

    Yes those - what CAUSED them?

    Volcanic activity - no outstandingly different volcanic activity happening just now so that cannot be the cause of the current change
    Sun spot activity - we are in a low so ditto
    Milankovitch cycles - do not correlate with current change
    Alteration in CO2 - bingo! Correlation
    And where is that Co2 coming from?

    Since there is a known 10 to 15 year delay between sun activity and temperature changes on earth and since we are entering a lower period of activity, it is not telling that we are not showing warming now?

    Selective data representation. Lets see some charts which go back further and you will see this rise looks a lot less signifigant compared to historical movements.

    To me the biggest failing of the pro-human climate change crowd is the way they argue it, they always use data which does not tell the whole story - just the fragments of data which exaggerate their argument for them. Another example of bad science..... so when you get the hysteria like the UWA's reaction, it add's up to skeptics being really worried the scientists are no longer impartial. That is a failure of the scientists, not the skeptics.

    Typical, take old data to make a point. Sun spots, solar cycle, magnetic activity all contribute to solar activity. For instance, it is hypothesized that the weaker solar magnetic field allows more cosmic rays to bombard earth which in turn creates more clouds cooling Earth.

    Oh! That is rich - a denialist complaining about cherry picking!!!

    Did it every cross your mind that solar sunspot activity pre 1860 is inferred data?

    The chart has a time spread wide enough to disprove the contentions of those who simply throw mud at a wall and it hits something significant

    Hmmm Bb,
    if people have decided to stay in the past, there is not much you can do, especially not with facts.
    They are unwilling to move forward and to re-calibrate their thinking, I wouldn't say it is too much effort for them, more that there are fears involved for the necessary change.....
    Those people are usually found on the right side of the fence, and have very conservative views about almost everything.....
    Cheerio
