Even the infant study that Grape recently referenced had no less than 11,000 blog-site postings in less than 24 hours.
I wonder if grapeman settles for the result first, then considers the details.

Here's what physicist Dr. Joseph Romm says about Senator Inhofe's list.
As it turned out, the list is both padded and laughable, containing the opinions of TV weathermen, economists, a bunch of non-prominent scientists who aren't climate experts, and, perhaps surprisingly, even a number of people who actually believe in the consensus. But in any case, nothing could be more irrelevant to climate science than the opinion of people on the list such as Weather Channel founder John Coleman or famed inventor Ray Kurzweil (who actually does 'think global warming is real'). Or, for that matter, my opinion -- even though I researched a Ph.D. thesis at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography on physical oceanography in the Greenland Sea. What matters is scientific findings -- data, not opinions. The IPCC relies on the peer-reviewed scientific literature for its conclusions, which must meet the rigorous requirements of the scientific method and which are inevitably scrutinized by others seeking to disprove that work. That is why I cite and link to as much research as is possible, hundreds of studies in the case of this article. Opinions are irrelevant
from The Cold Truth about Climate Change by Joseph Romm

Senator Inhofe's list of 413 skeptics included:
20 economists
49 who are retired
44 television weathermen
70 scientists with no expertise in climate study
84 scientists who are either connected with the oil industry or are paid by it.
Scientists who were included against their will, and who agree with the IPCC
Inhofe and Morano misinterpreted a paper published in Geophysical Research Letters. It should be pointed out that Morano is no more a scientist than Senator Inhofe. More on Morano below.
They claimed that it showed proof that the sun was responsible for the warming that's been observed in the last 100 years. The paper they quote says exactly the opposite from what they claim. This has been verified by the author of the paper.

note:
The IPCC is the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, founded in 1988 by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).
Instead of cheering for your miss-informed and dangerous "home team", why don't you respond directly to the ORIGINAL POST and the scientific paper that began this discussion. Dragging up already dis-credited citations and faux-scientists is boring and laughable.
Let me be the second.D4sh3y said:let me just be the first to say this thread is ass and reeks of shameless ignorant rage.
The results are in discoman. cosmic rays influence GW. More cosmic rays are now hitting the surface of the earth. This FACT is not addressed in ANY of the studies you put your faith into.
This is a newly discovered dispute. The only fact is you falling for a study before it's been examined by the peer review process.Therefore, some or all of the weather anomalies that may have occurred in the last decades may have been influenced in part or in total by this newly discovered FACT.
Absoluting the argument. Anybody who suggests climatologists don't factor our solar systems warming star into the climate change equation has to have a hole in their head. The study you site substitutes data with more data, not necessarily more correct data. We'll see what other scientists have to say about the study.BTW, This theory (now proven as fact) was put forth a decade ago and was rejected outright by the IPCC, Mann and your other heroes as bunk, since they could not lay the total blame on anything that happens in their skewed charts as man's fault and man's fault alone.
You only have faith in science that achieves the objectives you see as appropriate. If you had faith in the recent study that refutes man's contribution to climate change, you wouldn't have to politicize the argument.I have faith in science. I use science every day in my business. Science will eventually totally prove, that in your eagerness to ruin modern mankind, to prove you are faithful to your green religion and a better human being then others who were not taken in by the phony science in the beginning, you were a duped by people and corporations that are far greedier and evil then the ones you hate.
Not confused. I am positively skeptical and I'm positive that what you call "consensus science" is NOT science at all. Grow up and read.

You bring up some great points greenmatter. The thing is, nobody has to live a complete carbon-free existence. That's just the bullshit that skeptics use to pester the issue.
i understand you man. it would be impossible to live a carbon free existence anyway.
nothing i say will limit any of the bullshit the skeptics use anyway.... most of the arguments are picked up on the net anyway, and the people posting the links would not know if they were being bullshitted. of course that does not keep them from posting more fucking links. "polly wants a pat on the head for spewing disinformation and being a stump in the gene pool".... squack ... repeat.
zealots always see what they spew as the one truth. you can identify them by the fact that their venom is not meant to kill you, just make you fucking sick.
Absoluting the argument. Anybody who suggests climatologists don't factor our solar systems warming star into the climate change equation has to have a hole in their head.
I am not suggesting anything.
I am fucking telling you a fact.
Your precious IPCC studies claiming man made GW DO NOT take into account cosmic radiation.
That is a fucking fact. Don't really care if you choose to believe it or not as proponents of GW are already known to be closed minded.
I mean I post up a study coming from research from CERN showing cosmic ray correlation to warming. The article states that none of these formulas are in any mainstream studies that have resulted in your religion and your response is a weak... "Anybody who suggests climatologists don't factor our solar systems warming star into the climate change equation has to have a hole in their head.
No worries though, you now have the faux scientist spurr on the case.... the captain of cut & paste without any practical experience.
DISCOMAN - here is a bit of sad news regarding that stupid pic of polar bears in your posts.
Monnett, an Anchorage-based scientist with the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (gasp a government employee overseeing a $50,000,000.00 grant) is a fucking liar.
You know the guy who took those pictures and then claimed that polar bears are drowning.
And silly you thought scientists weren't lying, let alone lying for the money.
LOL
And as more and more evidence mounts that there has been a rush to blame temperature swings on mankind, the dumber and dumber the true believers are exposed to be.
LOL
Oh Noooooo Mr. Billlllll
