How can you tell when "Global Warming" deniers are starting to panic?

Question

They pose endless questions and cite "data" without reference.

Answer 1

That's easy - they're in constant panic mode.  That's why they make stuff up like claiming the planet is going to cool 2°C in 20 years based on what some random guy said in some random letter to the editor to some random newspaper.

Then if somebody asks for their supporting evidence for that claim, they get the question deleted.  Not only do they constantly fail to produce evidence, but they suppress questions asking for their evidence.  That is panic.

FYI the reason I'm asking so many questions today is twofold:

1) I'm trying to see what I can ask without getting my questions deleted (not much).

2) I'm trying to get my percentage of undeleted questions up because I don't want to get banned for no good reason.

Answer 2

When our testicles spontaneously combust.

Answer 3

I don't see deniers or supporters panicking. One panics only if one has a strong vested interest in one of those positions. Most people don't.

This issue should be decided on the science. Unfortunately, it has become politicized, meaning politicians are taking strong positions one way or the other, vested interest. That is when evidence in one direction or another is suppressed.

My own belief is that the world is getting a bit warmer, that it may or may not get warmer still, and it probably isn't harmful to humans. I easily change beliefs in this depending on what evidence I am still able to see, because I have no vested interest in it either way. I am not in panic mode.

What I most don't like is the scare tactics (civilization will be destroyed, I don't count NYC being destroyed, which might be a good thing).

Answer 4

Case in point - Jello.

Answer 5

Some (Naomi Klein, Shock Doctrine) suppose that many politicians keep us in a state of constant panic, so that they can more easily assert their agendas.  

Answer 6

You guys crack me up.  You have absolutely no evidence to speak of yet you seem to think you are making sense.  IF you have such fact, why do you put so much faith into scientific 'consensus' ?  

Fact is fact.  There is no changing it.  A consensus to explain something you want to believe is happening?  Come on.  Get real, guys.  

Answer 7

When we are loading our guns to overthrow whatever corrupt over bloated nannyacracy the global warmongers put in power.  Until then we are just sitting around yanking the fanatics chain, because that entertains us.

Answer 8

Hard as I try I can't get myself to panic over something that isn't real.

Answer 9

Have you ever heard of Global Dimming?  

Fossil fuel use, as well as producing greenhouse gases, creates other by-products. These by-products are also pollutants, such as sulphur dioxide, soot, and ash. These pollutants however, also change the properties of clouds.

Clouds are formed when water droplets are seeded by air-borne particles, such as pollen. Polluted air results in clouds with larger number of droplets than unpolluted clouds. This then makes those clouds more reflective. More of the sun’s heat and energy is therefore reflected back into space.

This reduction of heat reaching the earth is known as Global Dimming.
