AND, no, that is not the announcement.

Lindzen stated that “there is no consensus, unanimous or otherwise, about long-term climate trends and what causes them” and “I cannot stress this enough — we are not in a position to confidently attribute past climate change to carbon dioxide or to forecast what the climate will be in the future. That is to say, contrary to media impressions, agreement with the three basic statements tells us almost nothing relevant to policy discussions.”

(Note that he said that BEFORE there was clear evidence of a cooling trend that has occured since!)

“We’re getting record highs, too. Australia, for example, recently experienced catastrophic forest fires, the worst in its history.” Fires have little to do with record high temps and a LOT to do with poor forest/brush management. There have been MANY MORE record lows around the world than record highs in the last two years.

Arctic sea ice? We started this on that topic – YOU ARE JUST LYING! Arctic sea ice extent IS back where it was in 1980! HERE ARGUE THESE SAT IMAGES:

March 20 1980 versus March 20 2009

“I asked you to provide a specific criticism of a specific model and you cannot.” My specific criticism of the models used by the IPCC and James Hansen is THAT THEY FAILED TO PREDICT THE CLIMATE! (I don’t have to take it apart fer ya- it’s a black box.) Look at what the models predicted ten years ago and what actually happened. Their predictions FAILED! Why should I or anyone else but THEM care why they failed? Here it is again, the IPCC model FAILED; either refute it or accept it. http://icecap.us/images/uploads/tc02vsIPCC.jpg

“I can go on and on — the evidence is vast.” Please DO because most of the stuff you mentioned happened 5 to 10 years ago and is now REVERSING. Many glaciers are now GROWING again, snowfall is increasing again, etc. The climate is CHANGING BACK on its OWN without any reduction of CO2 by humans. BUT – the most important thing that alarmists HIDE from the discussion concerning glaciers is that they’ve been receding for HUNDEREDS of years! http://www.appinsys.com/GlobalWarming/GW_PART4_CLIMATICEVENTS_files/image032.gif These are just facts that you Al Gore sycophants cannot deal with and now nature is FINALLY driving a wooden stake through your silly notion that our MINESCULE addition of a MINOR greenhouse gas can somehow affect our climate in any significant way. You still haven’t given any proof but I’ll just keep coming back at you with SCIENTIFIC DATA that is 180 contrary to your entire scam.

“Perhaps you are unaware of this, but Time Magazine is not considered to be a scientific journal.” PERHAPS YOU ARE UNAWARE THAT THE UN IS A POLITICAL ORGANIZATION??? Goose- MEET GANDER!

“You tacitly acknowledge my point that your scientific judgement is controlled by your political opinions, because you make no effort to defend yourself.” I think intelligent people who read these posts can make up their own minds as to who is allowing their political persuasions to get in the way and who is offering scientific DATA to support their claims. $5 BILLION in federal programs and research grants are dished out, (wasted), every year to study “the problem”. I’ll bet my bottom dollar that almost anyone getting government money to study “the problem” is NOT going to EVER report that there really isn’t a “problem” if that means they’ll get no more funding next year. With global warming alarmism, politics has clearly overtaken true science.

Mr. Goose step, for all his fulminations of stupidity, has yet to present any evidence of scientific consensus on global cooling in the 1970s. All he presents is rhetorical vomit and name calling. Mr. Goose step is lying sack of horse manure who lacks sufficient intelligence to grab his hindquarters with both hands. And by the way, Mr. Goose steps’ rhetoric is right out of neo-Nazi web sites like stormfront.

However, since moron Goose step likes to bad mouth James Hanson, I will take the opportunity to bad mouth one of the foremost global warming deniers, namely Prof. Fred Singer. Prof. Singer is a world class denier who, in the past, has denied the relationship between cigarette smoking and lung cancer and who has denied that CFCs were responsible for ozone depletion. He is just as full of crap about global warming as he was about smoking and CFCs.
