Remember, folks, the science is settled:
More than 31,000 scientists have signed a petition denying that human activity is responsible for major climate change. The petition, now under the auspices of the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine, asserts: “There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of … greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth’s atmosphere and disruption of the Earth’s climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments.”
Do read the entire editorial, “The phony ‘consensus’ on climate change”, in Utah’s Daily Herald. Superb.
Yep. Every single major scientific body. That said, the Exxon science group may not have weighed in, nor I’m sure has the science group behind the Creation Museum, but all the others… they concur that it’s happening
As for sea ice, the Arctic is currently at its second lowest level on record. And the Antarctic… don’t be confused by the fact that the surface of the ocean freezes, and there is plenty of snow that results in large areas freezing. What matters is what’s happening with the ice shelves on the continent, and those have been in decline for the past 50 years.
The climate is changing, and it doesn’t care what you think.
Set you free, Well I was a little late to the party, but when the trolls get on here I generally skip the arguments and go discuss something intelligent with the cat next door.
“The climate is changing, and it doesn’t care what you think. ”
You’ve got that right, it doesn’t care what you think either. It’s called cyclic.
John – the Royal Geological society might disagree with you on that one. Please note that correlation is not causation, and that they rule out geologic causes but not other natural cycles.

“The climate is changing, and it doesn’t care what you think.”
And your proof for that is??????
Not to mention implied in your silliness is that climate is changing and man is causing it. Of course my previous question is even more apropos.
Your PROOF is?
John,colour me skeptical.
Can you provide a link to the list of ” Major Scientific Bodies”?
I don’t want a list of bodies that agree with you. I want the list that you are citing,I’m sure it’s right at your fingertips.
BTW,I do hope that CERN is on your list.
Every single major scientific body has profited greatly from the CAGW hoax.
On the other hand scientists are unaccountable for what ever they publish under pal-review.
Been a climate scientist must be the best job in the world, governments throw money at you and send you to exotic places to congregate with other climate scientists. There doomsday predictions are coordinated the new once much more dire than the previous once, predictions that failed get quietly retracted and or proclaimed they only failed cause climate science didn’t know cause of lack of funding at the time.
What a live.

True.
Climate doesn’t care or think at all.
But it is getting colder not warmer, so there is that.
Have a nice winter, John.
This made in the UN scam is finally unraveling completely. People here knew it all along. Especially if you grew up in the seventies in high school where by now they predicted Canada would be under 2 miles of ice.
The reason Politicians are loath to drop this shibboleth is the money they would have been able to tax from us, into their own coffers.
It was designed that way to entice them by UN officials.
It was a ready made money sting, using our “leaders” own greed to propel it. Its why they where confident enough to call for penalties for non believers.
It as usual was all about money taken from people who produce to feed the appetites of the sluggards as usual.
Yeti,you are right.Why, if I was half as smart as I think I am I would have become a climate scientician instead of a ‘civil servant’.
How about you,are things OK in your neck of the glaciers?
John,where are you? Did you go back to the kiddies table with the wishbone,and an evil glint in your eye?
Think of the trillions wasted on a SCAM, money that could have built cancer hospitals, funded research, built schools, funded food banks, built homes for the homeless, but no, stupid gullible politicians pissed money into this toilet, so sad there so many Algore Suzuki followers.

bartinsky nails it.
John the troll sets up the usual straw man. Namely, the false contention that skeptics deny climate is changing at all. I know of no skeptic who argues climate is static. Therefore, trolls like John may be safely ignored, as it adds nothing to the discussion.

What is it with scientists, if they talk climate change they automatically assume the man made kind. If they talk Yeti or snowman they assume that I’m abominable, how could they possible know.
Looks like Britain nice place to go.

@ dmorris, 3:22 could that be the Armand Hammer that was a great friend of the Soviets for decades? Interesting that Al Gore has connections to Hammer, but not surprising.
My apologies Yeti.
I thought you roamed the Himalayas. I was actually concerned about your well-being,with all the melting going on in the next few years,or not.
Yes,by all means go to England,but don’t stray onto the moors,and don’t worry about your dntal work,you’ll fit right in.
Can we PLEASE not refer to this crap as “science” at all? I have experience peeking into their little computer modelling of the climate in university and it is NOT science. It is guessing and there is no possible way to include all factors related to climate in a realistic way in a computer model. Just because people are taking guesses and stabbing in the dark at something doesn’t make it science. What is even more convenient for these “scientists” is that there is no way to test if they are right or wrong which is the basis of the scientific method. If it stinks, it’s probably rotten.

Don’t trip on that hockey stick on the floor, Climate Drone.
Actually, Brainiac, the International Panel of Climate Crazies has admitted the earth has COOLED since 1998. What part of the “models” predicted that?
So what are YOU doing to battle AGW, John? Are you practicing what you preach, and downsizing your house? Getting rid of that 2nd car, or big screen TVs? You wouldn’t want to be considered a gore-type hypocrite, would you?
You can probably save nearly 0.5 kwH for every hour you refrain from going online and blogging trash like you post on SDA.
Just in case you wish to save the polar bears, and all.
