Jeremiah B has global warming proof?

Question

This person has claimed he is a "scientist" and there is no global warming. He claimed that a university in Oregon made a "petition" and 19,000 scientists signed it saying that global warming is some hoax. Never mind that Oregon is one of the most progressive states, and that EVERY University and institute of learning knows that GW is real, I would like to SEE a link to this petition, as well as a link to some of Jeremiah B's published works (all scientists will have work published).

I personally think that Jeremiah B is a thirteen year old troll looking for attention.

Can Jeremiah B prove who he is and his claims, which might mislead people? (that's the ?)

And why are the "I don't believe it's real" crowd always resorting to c**p like this, or attacks on Al Gore (instead of the scientists whose findings Al drew attention to)??

Answer 1

As Crazycon is kind enough to point out, the petition originates from the Oregon Institute, which isn't a University at all.

Judging by the picture on their own home page they are housed in a large white tin shed and their main interest is strange medical theories not the climate.

As to the petition itself if you go to any of the denier sites it is the golden fleece that proves most scientists don't believe in GW if you go anywhere else it is a well known piece of bunk that never had to be discredited as it never had any 'credit' in the first place.

While there is genuine scientific debate on GW, it is fairly well known that anything from the Oregon Institute or Heartland Institute should be ignored.

Answer 2

The quality of Jeremiah B's answers is a better indication of her true credentials, or lack thereof, than any claims made.  Even if a paper were offered as 'proof', how would you know whether or not J.B. was the true author?  I don't think the fake scientist identity of a schizophrenic deluding his/her other identities does much harm.

Answer 3

no he doesnt

Answer 4

No.

The "oregon petition" is a well known hoax.  It's simply a list of names, with no scientific affiliation.  Many are obvious fakes.  The whole thing was a scam in the first place.  It was designed to look like an official communication from the prestigious National Academy of Sciences.

Since they agree global warming is real, they issued a press release disavowing it.

And there is abundant proof that global warming is real, summarized by the National Academy of Sciences here:

"okaaaaayyyy CRAZY... and what have you to say about all the, well, PROOF?"

My reply: Its clear that you know nothing of science and how its conducted based upon the statement you have made here. I have a better idea--why don't you provide the "proof" (in the true sense of the word) for global warming.

Then smileits.... said:

"YOU know better than NASA and harvard educated scientists?"

This is a fallacious argument. Firstly, there have been members of NASA and Harvard educated science who disagree with the consensus. Second, just because they are Harvard educated or a part of NASA, that does not make them infallible. Earth's climate system is highly (I can't emphasize that word enough) complex--many uncertainties. When science can tell me why the ice ages start or end (milankovitch cycles are a weak forcing, even with "CO2 feedback." Based upon current warming with a 100 ppm increase in CO2, this theory seems suspect). Or tell me why this current cycle of interglacial and glacials started. Or why the PDO and AMO flip, and if science could predict the PDO and AMO with any accuracy, I might be more open to the idea that they "know" what they're talking about.

Answer 6

Yes there is a petition with names on it.

As for Jeremiah, not really sure who that is, but he is right. There is no scientific proof supporting the man made theory.
