The Alarmist state"if it's cooling,then it's natural...if it's warming, it's man made?"

Question

Often you will see them tie weather and climate together to fit their needs.Why is this?

Answer 1

It's funny about the so called Global Warming or Even the Ice Age, because these events have been going on throughout the history of the earths existence, Even when man kind did not exist on earth. We can not control events of nature, or time or, space.

Answer 2

That's grossly oversimplified and simply incorrect.

For example, from 1940-1970 there was a period of global cooling in which human aerosol emissions played a huge role.

As another example, all warmings (and coolings) before the Industrial Revolution were natural.

I think you're mistaking valid scientific arguments for scientific perverisons, but since you don't give any examples, it's hard to figure out on what you're basing these claims.

Answer 3

Yeh, you're just wrong.  You must be generalizing from one thing you read or something

Answer 4

Scientists don't say that.  

Some people say some foolish things.  So what?  Does that disprove the science that says global warming is real, and mostly caused by us?

Some people say volcanoes cause global warming.  Does that nonsensical idea prove every global warming "skeptic" is clearly wrong?

Answer 5

I think you are imagining that.

There's a net positive radiative forcing on the heat energy in the planet (relative to the pre-industrial average).  That energy is slowly warming the planet.  It won't stop short term weather fluctuations, or even eliminate some of the longer term natural factors (e.g. El Nino, 11-year solar cycle) that also affect the weather.

While a few uninformed people may assert global warming whenever they see a hot day or two, I've seen a much higher frequency of deniers claiming the opposite whenever there's a cold period in the Winter (surprise, surprise).  Neither are accurate in their uninformed assertions and neither has anything to do with the mountain of scientific evidence supporting AGW.

Edit:

Worldemp - LOL.  So Glenn Beck is your source of "scientific" information?  You really need to take some science courses in school.

Answer 6

In that time off to educate yourself about climate change, this is the best you can come up with?

I don't often see "alarmists" doing this except in response to questions like this, where some wag thinks he's being clever by confusing weather and climate whereas in fact he's completely missing the fact that there can be regional and short-term cold spells even in an overall warming trend.  It doesn't help that most of the responses to these silly questions are themselves nearly incoherent.

What exactly did you study in your time off that led you to believe this was a relevant question?

Answer 7

The last time I checked... The alarmists blame both on us but yeah... This is what happens with the alarmism.(the cycle)

Cooling...  Warming... Cooling... Warming....  That isn't a joke. Look it up.  They are just a few "inconvienent" anti-culturalists that hate mankind.

Answer 8

This is not even a valid question. You have shifted the facts so far off base to be able to ask this that you are doing exactly what you are accusing the 'alarmists' of doing. I think someone once said 'the qualities you dislike in other people are the qualities you posses.' Maybe you should think about that for a while before you have another go.

  But to answer the question, they dont.

Answer 9

th\ats all they can do, they are losing the argument and they know it, thats why they report people

Answer 10

They have to tell themselves these stories over and over just so they will believe global warming is real.

Clearly the record snows and cold show that what ever warming there was was natural, not man made, and that the warming trend is over.

Believers will make the claim that this is only weather, that it's supposed to be cold in winter. This gives them the justification they need to point to every warm spell in the summer as proof man made global warming is real.

Answer 11

You don't know any science, do you?

Answer 12

Wrong, the alarmist (aka Global Warming Goonies) state, "if it is warming, global warming. If it is cooling, climate change as a result of global warming. If it is a full moon, man made global warming. If it is raining, man made global warming. If it is a Monday, and you are late for work, man made global warming. You get my drift.

When you only use models to try and prove your position, you can make anything you want up. BTW, I have a blister on my big toe due to AGW. We must take drastic action!
