“…. look at Toronto Island. Notice how much greener the trees are compared to the grass in 2009 vs. 1984.”

Good grief folks. What was the photo technology in 1984? Lens coatings affect spectral response. The film emulsion itself varied significantly in those days of color film. Was this Ektachrome? Vericolor? Kodachrome?
Was the 2009 photo digital or analogue? We are expected to accept a comparison of the two?
There is no reference in either photo to set white balance, or exposure. (e.g. simple 18% reflective gray card). No MacBeth color reference.
This is amateur beyond all credibility. Anything to promote the fraud to the gullible. Tax, tax, tax, and piss away, piss away, piss away. I am sick to death of it all.
No you’re not. You’re still alive.
“What’s bad about the global warming deniers is that they make statements they know are wrong in order to mislead and deceive us.”

What a complete buffoon.

One of my children asked why mom and I don’t have our physics degrees “framed on the wall” (my lady asked me if we still had them somewhere!)…Well, I now have an answer for her. 🙂
Seriously, though…the presumption that one requires a degree to validate ones opinions is pernicious.
Things are greener today than they used to be.
I was just noticing that tonight as I was watching Star Trek(NG)–Dr Crusher’s uniform is a whole lot greener now than it was back in 1991.
Hi Tenebris – if your comment referred to mine, perhaps I should explain. The person who posted the article in question has a doctorate in physics from Princeton. I wasn’t saying people need a degree to have valid comments – but was rather inferring that those with degrees, especially in the science fields, should know better than to post misinformation as he did.
Erik – wasn’t replying directly to you. A nut with a PhD is still a nut. On my cynical (realistic?) days, I estimate 20% of our PhDs are capable of sustained, integrated thought. So, as to such people knowing better? Well, there is theory and then there is practice.
Vitruvius, you are in fine form this evening! Quite so. I am still alive. I am sick nearly to death? Will that pass muster?
3 spades…
C’mon, all you denialists. Admit now the error of your ways. These photos only add to the great body of learned proof for global warming.
I’ve been doing some research of my own and I have to concur with this fellow: the island is indeed greener than ever. Why, historical photos from the 19th Century reveal that it was a monotone brown/sepia colour back then.
Worse still, according to archival photographs, by the early 20th Century, the islands – and the city of Toronto itself – all seem to have been coloured in various shades of grey.
And if this guy would just look a few miles to his right, he’d see fire melting steel, 24/7!
You know, there are times when it is better not to know the education/qualifications of some bloggers.
Because it reflects badly on the institution they claim to come from.
This Toronto kind of guy is clearly an up and coming Liberal politician.
Poor bugger.
Remember, this is what they consider valid “evidence” of AGW.
Contrary to what his blog says, what he wrote was not worth writing down. To claim they can see “global warming” in pictures taken 25 years apart is pretty absurd. There are several factors that could cause the differences between pictures including different lighting, better cameras (lenses), change in smog levels, the fact that plants grow quite a bit in 25 years.
This is typical of the evidence they use to justify Green Tyranny since reality is not co-operating and their lies are being rejected.
A wise teacher (not a socialist) once told me that PHD’s tended to be people who knew a lot about very little. Looks like he was right about this guy.
I’m curious how long it will be before the debate is over and the non-global climate change people are going to be forced to swallow it. Things will come to a head soon, I just don’t know how soon. How can you argue with a zealot and help them see reason, or fact? It’s a mental disease, but it’s no laughing matter.
I have photographic evidence that over only the past thirty years, global warming has caused my child to go from a state of pink and wrinkledness to a state of utter adulthood! I can show you the steady degradation! Does this qualify me to become a Liebaral?
A nut with a PhD is still a nut.

He was born in Chicago, Illinois, where, as an intellectual child prodigy, he excelled academically from an early age. He received an undergraduate degree from Harvard University and earned a PhD in mathematics from the University of Michigan. He became an assistant professor at the University of California, Berkeley at age 25 but resigned two years later.
[…]
He decided to start a bombing campaign after watching the wilderness around his home get destroyed by development.
Who is HE?
This idiot obviously doesn’t know about exposure, aperture, weather conditions, time of day, camera white balance, camera model, saturation, contrast, and about 40,000 other things.
What a twit. You can process the save photo a million different ways and every camera is different.

I presume you refer to Ted Kaczynski (sp?) aka the Unabomber?
Yes, Jason.
About the time that Obama starts frog marching climate deniers into re-education camps, the Unabomber will be declared rehabilitated or a political prisoner and released.
Zero will probably create a new Presidential citation and pin a wooden medal on his chest.
Theodore John Kaczynski will still be a nut with a PhD.
The shame of Queens Univerity Physics program.
What’s even more entertaining about his blog is that he can’t seem to figure out where all the ‘deniers-trolls’ came from.
Wonder if he knows anything about Saskatchewan.
