And even that one is from friendsofscience.org who do not believe that co2 is one of the main drivers of Climate Change. They believe that the Sun is causing the problems.

It’s a Canadian denier site (think The GWPF) and hosts the likes of big oil lackeys Dr Soon and Susan Crockford together with the fruit loop McKitrick.

The site’s sensationalist style is funny.

I did read one report that put the number as high as 40,000, this from about 6000 in the 1960s
But I suppose we have to protect the soft cuddly polar bear so it can go about ripping seals apart. hehe
Hopefully then, being a denier, your posts are the ones they are being “indoctrinated” to spot as fake news. biggrin

PS: polarbearscinece.com? Got something a little less...’bloggy’? Something with a little more gravitas? Something...er...not Susan Crockford?

“In 2017 Crockford was accused in the environmental publication The Narwhal by polar bear scientist Ian Stirling as having "zero" credibility on polar bears. ... In 2017, Crockford published the State of the Polar Bear Report 2017 for the Global Warming Policy Foundation.

This kinda makes my PS point (above) for me.

Here is another link abundance of polar bears.

OT but the first program I compiled on a spectrum was a moving graph about the relationship between rabbits and Foxes, the numbers of Foxes are dependent on there food source the rabbits, there will come a point that the available food for the polar bears will not be able to sustain the numbers and will decline allowing the food source to recover before the polar bear numbers increase.

I presume you've got this angle from some advocacy blog but the reality is that there is simply not enough reliable data on polar bear numbers to have any bearing on this topic.
If that was the case why does everyone think polar bears are nearing extinction, it's a symbol of AGW linked to rising temperatures.(incorrectly)

Er...thats not the same thing, thats about the Polar Bears in one sub-population out of 19, the Chukchi Sea.

Misreprenting it aren’t you.

The difference is it will show the whole story rather than the cherry-picked bits that suit your bias. What are you afraid of?

I like how you argue that because the climate is so complex, projecting a future state is extremely difficult, and at the same time argue that the model projections are not accurate enough. I suppose that's one advantage of having a position based on no tangible evidence; you can just change it at will.

No idea. Maybe because polar bears are very photogenic, so are great for drawing attention to newspaper articles.

I never did get a yes or no answer when I posed PH deniers the question if the 'reality' line shows an upward trend.
I had no idea it was such a tough one.

Either way, durbster's definition of the pro-agw position is spot on.

As for tangible evidence in the form of empirical data, it's overwhelmingly contrary to agw claims (hardly surprising given the catslogue of failed predictions) and as you imply, model gigo is not evidence; IPCC conjecture is not evidence.

For evidence of recent climate change as due to natural causes see Mao et al and Newberry et al
For evidence that temperature rate of change and extent is not unprecedented, try Alley et al
Evidence that Ice mass changes are not unprecedented, not as modelled and not as hyped is available by cconsulting Opel et al, Joughin and Tulaczyk, Wingham et al
Evidence that glaciers are not retreating due to global warming, see Bookhagen et al and read comments from Prof Ole Humlum involving Svalbard glacier data (and note that a glacier with two snouts can and does show one advancing and one retreating at the same time under the same local temperature)
Evidence that coral changes are not unprecedented given that data on bleaching events seen today are mirrored in the 1600s, 1700s and 1800s (Xu et al, Kamenose & Hennige and Andersson et al)
Evidence that sea level changes show no acceleratilon in the tax gas era (as expected from agw) see dala in Holgate, Douglals and other papers
Evidence that global coasts are growing not shrinking can be found in Donchyts et al and Duvat
Evidence of no significant trend in hurricane data is available from Landsea (IPCC resigned), Pielke et al, Weinkle et al
Evidence that floods and Droughts are not intensifying can be located in Sheffield et al, Hanel et al, Macklin et al, Barredoare
Evidence from non-cherry-picked intervals that wildfires are not increasing or intensifying is in Doerr and Santin
Evidence that polar bear numbers have increased not decreased can be found in surveys post-dating 2007-2016 e.g. Crockford, York et al
Evidence that jellyfish numbers are not linked to carbon dioxide has been published by Pitt
Evidence that the agw hypothesis within climate models fails against empirical data such that the agw null hypothesis must be rejected is in McKitrick and Christy
Evidence that hydrological cycle show comes no detectable global-scale human influence from Nguyen et al
Evidence that tropical forest biomass doesn’t release more tax gas with warming, contrary to models is in Roe


Looking back at that 'no tangible' false assertion (post above) it's reminiscent of advice for agw supporters from Schneider "we have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements, and make little mention of any doubts we might have".

Bingo!

If anyone want a glimpse at what is allegedly causing the planets climate to change, we need only walk over and take a look in the nearest mirror.
With global population increasing at rates between 286 and 347 thousand net new humans per DAY, using up the planets resources and turning them into emissions faster and faster. We are only bringing forward the time when the planet cannot sustain our colossal numbers any more.
Or do people believe the planet and its recourses are actually infinite?
We must save the planet for our children they say, as they pop yet another disposable nappy in the bin, after which and producing emissions at ever increasing ratesh they take the children a few mile to school in their multi litre 4WD sprog panzers, whilst buying them the latest resource consuming electrical goods for their delight and delectation.
You post this same thing every couple of months. hehe

And it still has little relevance to the thread. smile
You are correct I do post something like this every now and again, to try to get those who bash on about MMGW, to remember the fact that these emissions are (to use their own mantra) apparently coming from `man',
Lets see now. A finite Earth, where `man' is using up its resources, and producing emissions to feed the needs of an ever growing population. Wonder how that is going to work out?
Those who bleat on about MMGW, but who cannot face up to the fact that the resource take up, and resulting emissions (and alleged effects they are having on the planet) may in fact be coming from `man', are the equivalent of people screaming about a fire that is burning a house down, but who strangely go quiet when hundreds of thousands of extra gallons of petrol are poured onto the house, (or worse still try to sweep the fact that man made global warming might be actually being caused by `man' and yet they only want focus on the symptoms and not the ROOT cause)
Whenever the root cause is pointed out to them, the MMGW believers do not seem to have a satisfactory answer. So I will continue to point out the folly of their position every now and again so that they might eventually understand that before one can have MMGW, there has to be enough `man' to have an effect on the planets resources and climate, But not to worry, we are currently doing all we can, to ensure this condition is achieved as soon as possible.

"Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s ‘Green New Deal’ accidentally exposes the left’s big lie"

Click

Summary

  • Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's talking points on the Green New Deal offer the most unintentionally honest explanation of the neo-socialism now gripping the Democratic Party.
  • After her office sent the "FAQ" to NPR, The Washington Post and other news organizations, and posted a similar version on her congressional website, they were met with withering criticism
  • Ocasio-Cortez then backtracked seeking to disown and discredit documents her office had produced, posted and distributed.
  • The message is clear: We’ll soak the millionaires and billionaires and mega-rich corporations so we can give you free stuff.
Didn't ol' Hillary try some of that? Awesome.

So what is your moral position on Richard Curtis’ video with the blowing up of children and a few teachers who don’t agree with the government message? Do you think it’s appropriate?

I suppose that's one advantage of having a position based on no tangible evidence; you can just change it at will.
Is it being posited that a climate computer model is tangible evidence?
Either way, durbster's definition of the pro-agw position is spot on.

As for tangible evidence in the form of empirical data, it's overwhelmingly contrary to agw claims (hardly surprising given the catslogue of failed predictions) and as you imply, model gigo is not evidence; IPCC conjecture is not evidence.

For evidence of recent climate change as due to natural causes see Mao et al and Newberry et al
For evidence that temperature rate of change and extent is not unprecedented, try Alley et al
Evidence that Ice mass changes are not unprecedented, not as modelled and not as hyped is available by cconsulting Opel et al, Joughin and Tulaczyk, Wingham et al
Evidence that glaciers are not retreating due to global warming, see Bookhagen et al and read comments from Prof Ole Humlum involving Svalbard glacier data (and note that a glacier with two snouts can and does show one advancing and one retreating at the same time under the same local temperature)
Evidence that coral changes are not unprecedented given that data on bleaching events seen today are mirrored in the 1600s, 1700s and 1800s (Xu et al, Kamenose & Hennige and Andersson et al)
Evidence that sea level changes show no acceleratilon in the tax gas era (as expected from agw) see dala in Holgate, Douglals and other papers
Evidence that global coasts are growing not shrinking can be found in Donchyts et al and Duvat
Evidence of no significant trend in hurricane data is available from Landsea (IPCC resigned), Pielke et al, Weinkle et al
Evidence that floods and Droughts are not intensifying can be located in Sheffield et al, Hanel et al, Macklin et al, Barredoare
Evidence from non-cherry-picked intervals that wildfires are not increasing or intensifying is in Doerr and Santin
Evidence that polar bear numbers have increased not decreased can be found in surveys post-dating 2007-2016 e.g. Crockford, York et al
Evidence that jellyfish numbers are not linked to carbon dioxide has been published by Pitt
Evidence that the agw hypothesis within climate models fails against empirical data such that the agw null hypothesis must be rejected is in McKitrick and Christy
Evidence that the hydrological cycle shows no detectable global-scale human influence from Nguyen et al
Evidence that tropical forest biomass doesn’t release more tax gas with warming, contrary to models is in Roe


Looking back at that 'no tangible' false assertion (post above) it's reminiscent of advice for agw supporters from Schneider "we have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements, and make little mention of any doubts we might have".

Bingo!
And if all else fails, enlist the support of children for the ultimate in naive, ill-informed, guileless and ill-digested tripe to make the headlines and re-inforce the message. I guess it's a little less menacing than blowing their heads off in a video to try to make the same non-point.
Oh yes THAT video! Where non-believer kids and one grown-up are exploded. Its release was covered by Anthony Watts, which alone could make warm heads explode, while on t'Tube it's been age-restricted as well as being banned in various places iirc (shame). Gory detail can be viewed within the link below.

Same old tired links to the same old money-grabbing, soundbites-for-rent, oil industry lickspittles. Rogue ‘scientists’ denounced by their peers as having “zero credibility” in their field.

I was responding to the list - not your post - which I can’t comment on as I haven’t seen the video.

Or, it will stick with them for the rest of their lives. I wish I'd been lectured at school on the perils of smoking from an early age, it would have saved me a he'll of a lot of cash and "probably" a few health issues that have popped up.

Teaching kids Science and how to spot fake news is a good thing.
Pardon ?

Some of us have never followed the crowd and smoked, it appeared a stupid thing to do, but due to the drive to reduce CO2, I have to breathe in other people's diesel emissions,
They are not telling them how to spot fake news they are dictating what they should believe,
One girl was being interviewed was talking about polar bears, you know the animal that numbers are increasing, she was saying how would we like our place we live to disappear Infront of you eye's, is that the truth or fake ?
https://polarbearscience.com/2017/02/23/global-pol...
I did read one report that put the number as high as 40,000, this from about 6000 in the 1960s
But I suppose we have to protect the soft cuddly polar bear so it can go about ripping seals apart. hehe
Hopefully then, being a denier, your posts are the ones they are being “indoctrinated” to spot as fake news. biggrin

PS: polarbearscinece.com? Got something a little less...’bloggy’? Something with a little more gravitas? Something...er...not Susan Crockford?

“In 2017 Crockford was accused in the environmental publication The Narwhal by polar bear scientist Ian Stirling as having "zero" credibility on polar bears. ... In 2017, Crockford published the State of the Polar Bear Report 2017 for the Global Warming Policy Foundation.

This kinda makes my PS point (above) for me.

You people never stop quoting the rogue scientists associated with The GWPF do you. rolleyes
Here is another link abundance of polar bears.
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-34824-7
OT but the first program I compiled on a spectrum was a moving graph about the relationship between rabbits and Foxes, the numbers of Foxes are dependent on there food source the rabbits, there will come a point that the available food for the polar bears will not be able to sustain the numbers and will decline allowing the food source to recover before the polar bear numbers increase.
Er...thats not the same thing, thats about the Polar Bears in one sub-population out of 19, the Chukchi Sea.

Misreprenting it aren’t you.
I have no problem with data you wish to post to refute what I have posted, but the facts are the numbers have risen from ≤ 7000 in the sixties to ≥30000 now. Who is misrepresenting the data?
