Apparently we are now experiencing "global cooling".

This is exactly what a professor in the U.K. predicted would happen. I forget his name, but there is a video on the net somewhere about him criticizing NASA and other major organizations for trusting computer-generated predictions instead of empirical data.

No one ITT has yet said that climate change isn't happening. The whole reason they started calling it "climate change" instead of global warming is because they didn't want people to think there was no problem if things stop warming or start cooling.

No global warming for the past 17 years.

The computer models that identified "global warming" also predicted hurricanes would be worse every year after Katrina - not one CAT 3 in US since 2005.

Even Al Gore knows it's a hoax, otherwise he wouldn't have sold out to big oil. Anyone who actually believes in global warming wouldn't have done that.

Don't be naive, this thread was purposely created to draw out some denial ism. Look, we already have one in this thread below your post! I've made it a point not to argue climate change/global warming with people that have no scientific back ground. Not as fun as creationists though, those fvckers are straight up craaaaazy stupid.

What happened to global warming? First the IPCC says the Himalayas will be completely thawed by 2035. Now we're seeing the Arctic circle get even more Ice. Must be some sort of Polar Bear Magic.

Thing is, "Climate Change" has been happening since the earth began to form.. The earth has experienced several periods of intense heat, and several ice ages. However because in the past 100 years, our averages have been changing, everyone's all on edge. Seems it's not as bad as these "climate scientists" are suggesting. Which doesn't surprise me after learning that the IPCC fires those who disagree with their claims, even if the scientists disagreeing have solid data to back up their arguments.

And seriously just use basic logic, the climate has heated on average by about 1 degree in the last 100 years. In the past 2 millenia you had one warm period where the global average temperatures increased by 0,4 of a degree in 400 years, followed by an ice age that cooled the climate by 0,8 of a degree in about the same time. From the end of the "little ice age" the global average temperature has increased by 1,5 degrees in 200 years. Do the math.

Yes, it's more likely that tens of thousands of scientists don't get a simple concept than that you, an Internet commenter, don't get science.

I heard he is moving his factory to China, lower wages and better workers. Also he might now be able to get to at least the East of Africa.
