I didn't specify for what any of them had won the prize, and I am fully aware of Gore's prize.
Any group of people can have an opinion. I'm sure that 400 scientists supporting the claim could easily be found.

So now you're not a credible scientist unless you've won the Nobel prize?

God damn it! Can you fucking idiots that know NOTHING about science shut the fuck up already? JD50 i believe you barely graduated from high school, right? I think you claimed to do well on the exam for the military, but i saw that exam and a monkey could score "well" on it. So, what exactly are you credentials to be critical of the scientific method?

I don't recall that any of your many degrees were in climatology...

And while you're being an elitist again as usual, let's keep something in mind here. Any monkey could pass almost any exam so far as I'm concerned. Post graduate education is usually not so much an indicator of intelligence as it is of privilege. So don't let it go to your head. That's a prick thing to do, as I've known many very intelligent and even successful people who were unable to pursue further education and were forced to enter the job market earlier in life than they would have otherwise wanted to solely because of financial constraints.

He may well be ignorant of the scientific method, I don't know anything about the guy, but the implication that the only scientists worth listening to are Nobel laureates is ridiculous. The scientific method has nothing to do with the odd claim that only Nobel winners are credible.

Wow, what a douchebag. I had no problems graduating high school, I was a straight C student. Luckily, I learned from my mistakes, but I sure had a hell of a good time in high school.

The funny thing is, now I'm a technical lead in charge of several people with masters degrees, but they aren't elitist pricks like yourself. In fact, most highly educated people that I know aren't as elitist as you (actually they aren't elitist at all), I wish you would stop giving them a bad name.

Apparently you aren't even as smart as you think you are, because no where was I critical of the scientific method. I'm not going to criticize the scientific method because I know almost nothing about it, I'm a computer guy. I was critical of someone implying only the scientists that have won a Nobel prize are capable of studying and understanding global warming. So how many Nobel prizes have you won?


BTW - Having a high level of education doesn't necessarily mean that you're smarter than those with a lesser education.

I don't think thats the issue really.

I think there is a danger that this fear and hysteria that is trying to be generated will lead to facism.

Oh, brother. The generated fear and hysteria that can lead to fascism is coming from the republican party - 9/11, Iraq, 9/11, Iran, 9/11 9/11 - not global warming.

Usually I think you are nutty but this is right on the money. Funny how the hacks only care about things that are generally accepted as bad when the other side is doing it...

Facism is usually rung in with thundering applause.

Terrorism is no longer the bogey man...its MMGW

Comparing terrorism and war to global warming?

Come on, that is a bit of a reach and you know it.

They of themselves are not the same.

What they are being used to accomplish is exactly the same.

I would say the magnitude of them, and the social perceptions and ramifications of them are FAR different. Do you really think "global warming" is as scary to the average joe as "getting blown up by a terrorist"?

As of right now? no.

But only a moron would miss the way the media and algore are wagging the dog to make it even scarier.

Global warming went from being a problem that we need address to a calamity thats nearly unpreventable.

Slight average warming to grand warming where the seas are dead and there are hurricanes and tornados everyday....

For the sake of argument , Ignore the science of Global Warming and look at the politics of Global Warming.

His credentials are every bit as valid as Al Gore's.

Agreed. I exercised bad quoting there. I wasnt really replying to JD50s post, per se, but rather to him and his ilk that feel as if they can comment on scientific issues with *no training what so ever.* JD50 and his ilk have *no idea* what goes into the selection of laureates, whether they be peace or science (to roughly categorize). They have no idea how the scientific method works, and where it fails. They have no idea how to be objective. To give credit to Rainsford, its not a game, but if it was and i was a betting man i would bet on the repugs. They play the game much better than the dims. Im not picking sides, but the right wing-nuts are. Science is not a game. Im trained as a scientist (berkeley phd) and currently work as a scientist. I use it everyday, these dim wits think they know something because their favorite spin idiot told them to. I find this repugnant.

Yep, "elitism." Nice. Highfalutin...? Your right wing-nut terminology means nothing to me. Being better educated means nothing to you? Seriously? I have a phd from Berkeley and am affiliated with 5 of the top 50 universities in the world (3 of the top 5) and you seriously feel that my perspective on science means nothing? Seriously? Ok. This is where you attack the education system as being a libural bastion of unholy thoughts, no?

As far as im concerned youre barely a monkey. Vic, you are the worst kind of troll. You claim one thing and spew the other. But you know this, i have called you out on this before. Im kind of bummed that you resorted to obvious right wing-nut labels like "elitist" though. Youre usually slicker than that.

Privilege? I grew up in the lower class poor. My mother worked 3 jobs to keep my sister and myself fed and in clothes. I went to the worst high school in the city and then I went to my state school in the same city and met the right people and had the right motivation. My experience, grades, GREs, contacts, and publications (yes from undergrad, and yes in science publications) got me into berkeley. From there i went to UT for a postdoc, and then Penn for my second postdoc. All of this is science education. Im currently at Harvard with an affiliate at MIT. My scientific education is rather well respected thank you very much.

I do think the media makes a bigger deal out of GW than needs be made, but it hasn't effected my life in the way the WoT has. GW is a non-issue for me, and no one I know talks about it. Sure, if you are a slave to the media than it may seem like a bigger deal than it is, but if you do that then you're an idiot.

So have you won a Nobel prize or not? I was criticizing the point made by conehead that only Nobel prize winners can understand and study global warming and you went off on one of your elitist rants. So do you agree with me that you don't have to be a Nobel prize winner to have an informed opinion on global warming? I'm also waiting for you to show me where I criticized the scientific method....:roll:

Hey, smart guy, conehead is the one that brought up the nobel prize, not any of us "right-wing nuts". Looks like you're too smart to actually read the thread. Along with showing me where I criticized the scientific method, I'd also like to see where I said that I *have any idea* of what goes into the selection of laureates, and where I stated that I know how the scientific method works, and where it fails.

What I find repugnant is you being so educated but still not having the ability to thoroughly read a thread. I never said any of the crap that you are accusing me of saying. My problem is with the fear mongering, not the science.

PHD in what?
Which 5? Which 3?
What year did you earn your PHD?

You attempt to prove your "elitism" by throwing this information out...

Like people will bow down when they hear those things.

Climatology is one of the most difficult of practices since its not just something small, like a body or a tree.

Don't misunderestimate IT guys when it comes to science.

Define the question
Gather information and resources (observe)
Form hypothesis
Perform experiment and collect data
Analyze data
Interpret data and draw conclusions that serve as a starting point for new hypothesis
Publish results
Retest (frequently done by other scientists)

I don't "claim one thing and spew the other." I have something you lack entirely -- the ability to think critically and objectively. I seek to understand and appreciate the viewpoints and positions even of those I disagree with. Sometimes I even change my mind when proven wrong, even if doing so means breaking the boundaries of partisan ideology Q!).
You should try it someday, as it can be very powerful. That is, if you ever manage to step down from your lofty white tower and into the mud with the rest of us common folk.

If you believe in global warming as a man-made phenomenon then its not too far out of reach to connect to the same belief that one nation holds dominion over the world. As another poster has said, fascism is the danger here. The nutjobs pushing this agenda are the same ones that would love to see drastic population reductions in the name of human progress. And since they are good christian souls, obviously they belong in that new world order. And since the underdeveloped world is largely pagan, those people do not belong in the new world order. Some real trouble could be brewing in the circles of the elite. What will be their trigger event to justify cleaning up the world?

His credentials are every bit as valid as Al Gore's.

And if Al Gore was the only one MAKING the man-made climate change argument, that might be a good point. But he's not, he may be the most public face on the issue at the moment, but the fact is that most climate scientific papers and scientists support the idea of man-made climate change.

I cringe every time I hear that word in this debate. This isn't about belief, or at least it shouldn't be. If it IS about belief for some people, they should sit down and shut up. This is about SCIENCE.

Remember what happened to a scientist who said the earth isn't the center of the heavens. Science is powerless to convince those whose ego is tied to an unscientific belief. There are millions of just the same kind of fools alive today and in denial of what affronts their tiny egos. I make my stand with those who believe the earth is 6000 years old and can never get any warmer as the result of man. I am my religion and my politic. What you are asking me is to let go of everything I have substituted for the hole in my soul caused by self hate. I'd rather kill you. So don't so damn sure your logic will have much effect. Maybe when my kids get some other shield to hide behind they will see it your way, but unless you can cure my core disease, I'd advise you to wait, if, of course, there will be a next generation. There doubtless will come a time past which there's no time to change.

Who gives a shit? I could care less about Al Gore, this is about man-made global warming. And I think the only reason people bring him up with such regularity is that calling Al Gore an idiot is easier than actually making a scientific argument against man-made global warming.

See the OP.

Or read this: http://www.amazon.com/Unstoppa...ry-Years/dp/0742551172

Scientists are making plenty of arguments against it for us.

Industry and politicians understand human psychology. Nobody wants to go down with the ship, or fight a lost cause. All that is necessary for sheep to stick to what they've been brainwashed to believe is for the propaganda to be reinforced by seemingly rational opinion, so in every debate like global warming or nicotine, the battle is fought tooth and nail by those who manage sheep. They maintain a bevy of paid experts to stoke those propaganda flames. Nicotine is not addictive, right up till the last day. Then they become Altria.

While our ner-ner-ner-vous systems jerk

Pretending not to notice
How history had forebode us
With the green house in effect
Our environment was wrecked

Now I can only laugh
As I read our epitaph
We end our lives as moles
In the dark of dawn patrol

What do you mean, "I don't believe in God"?
I talk to him every day.
What do you mean, "I don't support your system"?
I go to court when I have to.
What do you mean, "I can't get to work on time"?
I got nothing better to do
And, what do you mean, "I don't pay my bills"?
Why do you think I'm broke? Huh?

If there's a new way,
I'll be the first in line.
But, it better work this time.


What do you mean, "I hurt your feelings"?
I didn't know you had any feelings.
What do you mean, "I ain't kind"?
I'm just not your kind.
What do you mean, "I couldn't be president, of the United States of America"?
Tell me something, it's still "We the people", right?


If there's a new way,
I'll be the first in line.
But, it better work this time.
