What the Townhall one playing the "shell and pea" game? Mate I have tried and tried to show you the misleading lies and twaddle in those articles.

It is an OPINION piece by a "journalist" who has a very open political and anti-AGW agenda and is so full of spin I could use it as a ceiling fan

Show me the original research - and don't link to Landsea's work like Townhall did because that was NOT research - and it seems that Townhall also cannot tell the difference

6. “Radio has no future. Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible. X-rays will prove to be a hoax.” — William Thomson, Lord Kelvin, British scientist, 1899.

5. “There is not the slightest indication that nuclear energy will ever be obtainable. It would mean that the atom would have to be shattered at will.” — Albert Einstein, 1932

4. “Space travel is bunk.” — Sir Harold Spencer Jones, Astronomer Royal of the UK, 1957 (two weeks later Sputnik orbited the Earth).

3. “If I had thought about it, I wouldn’t have done the experiment. The literature was full of examples that said you can’t do this.” — Spencer Silver on the work that led to the unique adhesives for 3-M “Post-It” Notepads.

2. “Stomach ulcers are caused by stress” — accepted medical diagnosis, until Dr. Marshall proved that H. pylori caused gastric inflammation by deliberately infecting himself with the bacterium.

1. “Telltale signs are everywhere —from the unexpected persistence and thickness of pack ice in the waters around Iceland to the southward migration of a warmth-loving creature like the armadillo from the Midwest. Since the 1940s the mean global temperature has dropped about 2.7° F.” — Climatologist George J. Kukla of Columbia University in Time Magazine’s June 24th, 1975 article Another Ice Age?

To imply that climatologists', glaciologists', oceanographers' conclusions are wrong because 10 incorrect conclusions (out of how many millions of conclusions) is asinine!

I get it: Science advances, therefore Conservation of Energy might be wrong.

Well yes, I suppose it might. Now all you need is evidence to support your view. Which I keep asking for. And which you never provide.

So until you've got evidence, I (and anyone else with a lick of sense) will continue to accept the consensus view.

Even if you dig in and read many of the scientist directly involved in global warming, you will find them giving caution to predictions. Only a very few will go out on a limb and risk their reputations, one of them being Hansen but he is heavily involved in politics.

Like I said before, we can all agree on global warming and we can agree on man's involvement, what we cannot agree on is that all is doom or gloom or on long term predictions, or on the exact cause, or even on the amount of climate sensitivity.

The problem warmers have is that they have bought, hook line and sinker, into the doomsday scenarios and long term predictions.

So you can find nothing false in the article. The lies as I have shown come from the GW community.

I was addressing the poster that seemed to have difficulty with simple math. Is that you?

Scientists are naturally conservative. As it happens, conservative predictions are being overwhelmed by reality. Like this one:

Not all opinions are equally correct, because not all opinions are equally informed by evidence. I've got evidence behind my opinion, and you don't have evidence behind yours. Therefore, my opinion carries more weight. Not everything is true. Some people are just plain wrong.

The problem is, deniers don't care about the evidence, they only care about the politics.

That sea-level graph has no references at all. Correct me if I'm wrong but, -4 cm is NEGATIVE water. Why does the sea level change start there?

Not all 'evidence' is real either.

The problem with that argument is that there is no such thing as a 'denier.'
