back there I posted a debate sponsored by intelligence squared. - that the matter was a crisis or not.

Even the team arguing that this was not a crisis agreed that man causes global warming.
(as do other natural factors of course)
 
btw snake
read Flannery's book, the Weather Makers - or read any flaming book for that matter. I'd be interested to see evidence that you've researched this in the slightest.

That invitation goes for Wayne as well - especially as he proclaims an interest in saving wildlife. Read about the number of species of critters that have died / become extinct and are gonna die in the next 50 years or so.

This, a poll from today's Sunday Mail FWIW

Global warming (or not), by consensus.
Now that's compelling.
As I have repeated so often, you have demonstrated no understanding of the science, continue to post irrelevances, and now don't have the guts to "argue" this matter.

But to be fair, lets put your straw poll into perspective. Below is a selection of what Mail readers could vote on:
It's wonderfully scientific, and the results are a hoot. Like over 90% of readers want hospital parking fees scrapped- what a surprise!!!

And yet you, Wayne, accuse me of lacking "credibility".
What a hoot.
 
This has probably been covered and nuked by the skeptics but thought the following letter published in the Weekend Australian 3-4thjan is worth noting by the faithful.

 
Rob

It was posted to demonstrate the public's perceptions FWIW, without any scientific connotations.

It shows that the alarmists are losing the PR war, that's all.

Have a nice day.
 
Crikey!!!

What an attack over a simple poll of the public's perception.

Can you say anything in this thread without someone wanting to 'put you to the question'?

Can't help yourself kennas?
I voted "no" in that poll.
What does that say about its credibility?

I'm happy to debate the topic meaningfully.
Do you have anything worthwhile to add?
 
im thinking of heading over to a science board to get an opinion on the stability of the australian housing market.

There are more meaningful polls that could be quoted, especially if they use sampling techniques that allow consistency of tracking attitudes over time:

Of course, much is in the phrasing of the questions.

The Daily Mail poll, though unintelligently simplistic, not allowing for more complex and accurate attitutes, is absolutely unambiguous and posted with the qualification "FWIW". It should also be pointed out that it is UK centric.

This is in a country where we are assaulted daily with AGW rhetoric from all parties as well as Socialist think tanks like the Fabian Society, via their mouthpiece, a certain Mr Monbiot.

I'm sorry you saw that as a platform to launch yet another malicious straw man assault when you could use the information for your own benefit.

Clearly, with all the preposterous junk science and obvious spinmeistering of any weather event as GW, has almost completely destroyed the credibility of the IPCC political movement.

The public, quite rightly, doesn't believe you any more.

To win the PR war, you have to be believable. To be believable, you have to tell the truth. But then there would be no scare if the truth be known.

Pretty soon, politicians in this country will have to drop their cynical green tax agenda as it is going to cost them votes.

On BBC radio4 last night, a scientist was asking for a measly £7mil for research into the drop in honey bee populations, potentially a devastating and imminent problem that can precipitate mass starvation... SOON.

They can't get it while the alarmists are monopolizing billions in funding for a covert political agenda.

Cheers
 
There remains a deep gulf between us.
If you want UK-centric, and a reliable poll, how about reading this:
http://www.ipsos-mori.com/_assets/pdfs/public attitudes to climate change - for website - final.pdf
With over 75% of respondents either "fairly" or "very" concerned about climate change, it challenges the tripe you keep dishing up.
As you say:
To win the PR war, you have to be believable. To be believable, you have to tell the truth.

...because I would hate to be singularly unable to have a reasonable debate without some sort of ad hominem insult included in nearly every post

Unbelievable!
 
The ...Mori.com is probably a fair reflection of people's attitudes. But there are some interesting observations to take away from it.

* Newspaper readership is most interesting and quite proportional to that papers bias in GW reporting.

* The public is still overwhelmingly skeptical, suspicious, or believe GW is exaggerated.

* It still shows alarmists losing the PR war, particularly with green taxes.

That's not the point here Norman. We are talking about public attitude at the moment. This is independent of whether or not there is warming, cooling, and the apportionment of human causes of such.

Cut out the the crap and get involved in some reasoned debate.
Posting more and more articles from the mainstream media adds nothing to this thread.
However, if you want to keep it up, I'll keep pulling it apart.

Ultimately this whole matter hinges on the science - which will be proven one way or another in the fullness of time, to the masses.

ps. an ad hominem insult is an attack on you, personally. I am more concerned with the material you put up, which is mostly rubbish. If you want to insinuate an extension to yourself, that's your call. I haven't met you, I don't know you. I simply read your posts.
 
Red Sir,

Please try your hardest because it is a hard hilll to climb pushing a storyline that can be countered by other science.

Impossible. The universe is infinite and the boundaries are not known. Mistakes will continue to be made so proving will be harder than disproving.
