Global Warming?

[RobertBrown]

What's the thread's opinion of this meteorologist's view?

The threads opinion will vary.....greatly.
I had a hard time paying attention to what he said on the first 2 links (videos) as every time he opened his mouth I was distracted and began thinking of dental procedures. You would think a guy that is going to be on camera and has those credentials would spend a few K on his teeth, apparently Weatherbell Analytics doesn't have a dental plan.
What I could listen to, left me no opinion really. I don't see where Mr Bastardi's comments had anything to do with this thread.
The last link or the article is informative but leaves me to wonder if Mr. Bastardi has grown tired of meteorology and would like to branch out to politics.
If you look at the source of his info and graphs you'll come back to this organization

Met Office Hadley Centre observations datasets

sooo...What's your point?

Actually Bastardi is pointing out how politicized meteorology has become.

What makes you think Met O is to be trusted? Is it ok that data is manipulated for political purposes?

What relevance does the link to Met O have with respect to Bastardi's articles?

I didn't notice his teeth. Looks are a high priority to you in meteorologists?

He's in the climate science field. He has a different view than the politically correct one. The going argument in this thread is that all science thinks one way. This gentleman is an example of that assertion being false.

I suppose he has a political opinion on it, due to the fact that climate science is presently tossed around in everyday politics, as a pending crisis necessitating new political and economic policy...resulting in new laws.

Climate change progressives are determined to make this a political issue. Hurricane/Tropical Storm Sandy is a recent example. The links I posted dealt with that most recent event. First post was before, second was after. Third was his overall perspective.

I believe it was perfectly relevant.

Of course Bastardi was relevant. He just didn't sing the right song, so must be disparaged and "denied". Still the same leftist tactics; if the message doesn't fit your template, destroy the messenger.

When I burn my skin, I feel pain long before a blister forms, swells, and then breaks. Prices are part of the economy's nervous system, and they convey the need for more supply and helpful conservation in a timely fashion because it takes time for replacement supply to ramp up. If a refinery fire were completely without consequence, the price would not rise to signal the need and the opportunity.

So you think that the speculators have no effect on prices?

Respectfully, your rebuttal is no less so.

So enlighten us all. Where do you think oil is coming from to replace what we are using?

You apparently per y our posts think that oil is a limitless resource. Care to try to answer again but this time stick to the point?

Is oil limitless or not?

That was not stated nor was it implied anywhere in my post.

I believe the links indicated that it is inconclusive. I followed the links with a hypothetical notion... If it were limitless, would that not be an economical tax dream for the progressive mind?

 

[madmax12]

I find it very interesting that the climate change believers, in this thread, can barely understand the opposition posts... Yet we are to believe that they have expertly reviewed all of the facts and figures in the climate change debate.

The amazing thing is that 12 years ago the republicans were all for climate change and their idea of carbon credits then the Koch brothers gave them a bunch of money, their opinion changed.
The same ad agency that was pedaling the tobaco industries BS is now in the climate change deniers business.
