Denialists, does it ever give you pause that the world's top climate scientists?

Question

....do not find your arguments compelling?

Why would this be?

Answer 1

In order to find the climate scientists "arguments compelling", they would have to actually read the scientific literature.  It's a lot easier to assert knowledge, than to actually read and understand complex scientific journal articles.  Thus, some are destined to merely swallow every bit of propaganda (e.g. 32,000 "climatologists" deny global warming) that comes along.

Answer 2

Why would they care? They don't give your opinion a second thought either.

Answer 3

Careful Mark, it's a slippery slope.

Take if from one of the fallen...

Answer 4

You mean the top climate scientist are reading the responses here on yahoo, amazing.

(edit)  Thanks for the warning Dr. Blob

Answer 5

Not true.  Top scientist do question the belief that man is too insignificant to effect the environment.  There's plenty of them that do question the "science".

Take for example the Dutch Space Agency.  They have long reported that the Sun is the cause for the slight warming.  Believers just dismiss this, ignoring their compelling evidence because it just doesn't fit with what they believe.  

Also many Russian scientist agree that the Sun is the cause of warming, not man.

And what about Dr. Bill Gray?  He's just ignored because believers can't come up with coherent arguments to win a fight intellectually with him.

Global warming is only true if you ignore all the brilliant men and women of science who don't agree with you.

Answer 6

Sounds like the same type of arrogance that the physicists had when they said that man could never travel faster than 25 mph because faster than that, your blood would boil or that we could never break the sound barrier. Scientists are so smart!!!

Answer 7

Does it ever give alarmists pause that more and more scientists are beginning to realize that Global Warming is a natural cycle and we're headed for a cool down?

It's not 'our' arguments, but the arguments of the scientists that don't put stock in Global Warming that I follow.

Answer 8

i could say the same to you about the worlds top solar scientists, some climatologists, some geologists etc etc etc

Answer 9

I'm not sure the "top" scientists realize the damage they are doing to their reputations.  Recently researches from Texas A&M published a paper in the journal Risk Analysis that indicates the more educated and informed a person is on climate the more likely they would be apothetic to AGW, and are less likely to care what scientists were trying to tell them.

Think of science as a product, and you are trying to sell it.  Wouldn't it make you curious if your clientele were becoming less interested in what you are selling?  If it were me, I would take a step back and find out what is going wrong.  

I would rephase your supposition:

Scientists, does it ever give you pause that the world's educated masses do not find your arguements as compelling as we used to?

Answer 10

Because it isn't true.

Answer 11

That is kind of funny--who decides who the world's top climate scientists are? You?

Answer 12

Duh, because scientists are in it for the money.  That's why 6 of the top 7 wealthiest people in the world are climatologists!

I love how all the deniers are arguing 'the burden of proof is on the climate scientists'.  I hate to break it to you, but they've met the burden of proof.  That's why the theory is so robust and why there's a scientific consensus to begin with.

Answer 13

Well, since the burden is on those who advance a theory to provide supporting evidence and the AGW crowd have not only failed to do so, but have been caught fabricating evidence to support their claims, there is really no problem.  It is not for the "deniers" to prove a negative.

As for "top climate scientists", 32,000 climatologists have gone on the record stating that the AGW theory is full of holes.

Answer 14

The burden of proof rests squarely on the pro side of AGW theory.

Answer 15

Though I do not deny the fact that global warming is a real threat, I think many of the people who do deny it do not neccasarily disagree with it but think that the damage is already done and that it is too late to do anything about it now.

There is also the info. below which shows that the temp. was even warmer in 1940.

Q: What's the best argument or proof that global warming is not happening?

A: The best proof are data taken of atmospheric temperature by two completely different methods. One is from instruments carried in satellites that look down on the atmosphere. The other is from instruments carried in balloons that ascend through the atmosphere and take readings as they go up. These measurements show that the atmospheric warming, such as it is, is extremely slight -- a great deal less than any of the models predicts, and in conflict also with observations of the surface.

Q: An epic New Yorker series said unequivocally that the permafrost, the Arctic sea ice and the Greenland glaciers are all melting. Is that true and is it because of global warming?

A: The Arctic temperatures have been now measured for a long time. They vary cyclically. The warmest years in the Arctic were around 1940. Then it cooled. And it's warming again, but it hasn't reached the levels of 1940. It will continue to oscillate. That's the best prediction.

Answer 16

Because there are just as many top scientist that say the research is bogus. A global tax isn't going t to make the climate change

Answer 17

Just yesterday one of the worlds leading experts on hurricanes, announced that his hypothosis on future hurricanes based on Global Warming, was 100% wrong and that exactly the opposite was going to happen instead...

In the 1970s these same scientists predicted, based on weather for the previous decade, that we would soon be in a "New IceAge".....

My opinion of the "Worlds Top Climate Scientists"  is that they "Don't know their hat from a hole in the ground ...."

Answer 18

If you go to a doctor and one tells you that you are going to die of fever and the other tells you don't worry, you just got a cold, why would you be so eager to believe the first doctor?  History says you most likely got a cold.  You have to examine your own psyche and determine why you want to believe you are doomed.  It is certainly a mystery to me.

Answer 19

The rag-tag den of wanna-be's who call themselves 'the world's top climate scientists' gave themselves that name.

There was a big climate conference held in Paris last year, with all of these 'world's top climate scientists' attending.  The media therefore paid them lots of heed, too much.

They agreed that everyone attending came to the same conclusion: global warming is real.  What they didn't say is this...that this Paris summit was by invitation only, and that invitations were sent only to supporters!  Any scientist who showed up opposing the idea of g/w was banned from attending, and not allowed to speak.  

Those who attended were about 50 scientists most of whom deal not with climate as their science, lobbyists, politicians and financial backers.   This is the crew with the 'consensus' that you refer to as 'the world's top climate scientists'!!

Answer 20

They are clueless in the field of statistical analysis, which is what climate science is all about.

Answer 21

The question should be, why can't supporters of manmade global warming have a meaningful discussion with those of us you refer to as "denialists"?  We are more than happy to discuss the issue and show reasons why we don't believe global warming is the problem you claim it to be or that it is manmade.  Yet when we attempt to do this all you do is call us names and tell us to shut up.  Where is the diversity of thought and ideas?
