the man on the video is so d**n smart in my opinion

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

No.

Bob Carter is a marine geologist, and a climate science amateur.  By drawing a line between 1998 and 2006, he argues that the planet has stopped warming.  This is such an amateurish analysis that any undergraduate science or math student should be able to see through it.

Here is the actual global temperature trend since 1998, by the way:

Let's be honest - the reason you think he's smart is because he's telling you what you want to hear.  This is why many global warming deniers also cite TV weatherman (and peer to Al Roker) John Coleman as an expert.

You only think it's the truth because you're in denial.

*edit* no I'm not a climatologist.  But I do listen to what they have to say.  Carter's statements are his own.  My statements come from data collected by climate scientists.  I don't presume to be an expert, just well-informed.

You seem to be missing the point that Carter is not a climatologist.

I would say a bad climatologist is a person who isn't a climatologist.  LOL!

Gotta love your logic - the Earth has been warmer at some point in the past therefore we can't be causing global warming.   LOL!!  Gee, you've made a discovery that climate scientists never thought of.

Answer 3

Don't dare to confuse man made global warming with facts or other views.

Their mind is set because Al Gore told them so.

Answer 4

Ufologist is to UFO as Climatologist is to Climate.

Answer 5

Probably not. Bob Carter has said some amazingly ignorant things about climate science in the past. He's the dude who came up with the "warming stopped in 1998" garbage. I'm sure he's a fine marine geologist (I've never read any of his work), but he's a p*ss poor climate scientist.

-------------------------------

Edit: A good climatologist produces good, solid science, and publishes it in the peer reviewed literature. A bad one... doesn't. Bob Carter falls into the latter category. He's out and out lied about climate science a few too many times for me to take anything he says on the subject seriously.

Also, he doesn't even study climate to begin with. He just, apparently, feels the urge to give lectures about it.

Answer 6

it is the best movie ever opposite!

Answer 7

Hola amigos!

En los últimos días encontré más material para hacer conciencia y enseñar lo que es el Calentamiento Global. Anterior ya avisé de mis otros videos y hoy les presento una colección enorme. Son dos DVD´s completos y super-nuevos. La primera peli se llama “Alerta Mundial”, aquí los links para verlo en YouTube:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jISra_7x3... Parte 1

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ck8t759Jg... Parte 2

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwZzlDdLM... Parte 3

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DV2HEEV0A... Parte 5

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQxLFfuOg... Parte 6

Y el segundo DVD es un documental padrísimo del BBC que se llama “Tierra”. Ahí pueden ver, tal vez por última vez imágenes únicas de la naturaleza. Si no empezamos a hacer cambios, todo eso va a ser historia y nada va a ser igual. Les invito que vean este documental también. Aquí los links:

Si les gusta mi trabajo, suscríbanse a mis videos en YouTube. Mi Nick ahí es: cancunhans

Pronto voy a subir la peli: “Una Verdad Incomoda”. Completa por supuesto.

Tengo unas páginas en internet también:

Y si quieren saber más sobre mi, ahí va mi espacio:

Un favor, necesito apoyo, porque solo no puedo llegar lejos. Necesito gente que quieren ayudarme, por ejemplo en la construcción de mi segundo sitio. No se mucho de construir páginas. También si alguien habla otro idioma es bienvenido para traducir la página, digamos, quiero expandir y difundir la información a todo el mundo, porque no solo en México estamos afectados por el Cambio Climático. También quiero avisarles que este año vamos a repetir el Apagón Mundial el día 9 de Septiembre a las 9 pm (tiempo local) por 9 minutos. Sería bueno si se apuntan patrocinadores, porque el año pasado no podría hacerlo en el Zocalo por lo de la ferria para el “Grito”. Hay mucho que planear y hacer. Si no cooperan los gobiernos, vamos a luchar nosotros, porque finalmente nuestro futuro tenemos en nuestras manos. Les dejo mi email personal: cancunhans en Hotmail. Espero poder contar con ustedes. Muchas gracias.

Answer 9

No.

Bob Carter misinterprets the data.  He goes around saying it hasn't warmed since 1998, who is, according to the data, ridiculous and unscientific.
