We will reverse global warming by exposing the garbage computer models predicting the event. Then expose the nutz using it to control populations by exposing the paid liars who agree to be a consensus about the next Eco-Rapture dooming the planet in 85 years.

This is good to hear.  Now we can start planting trees.

Remember ozone and cfc's?  Did not banning those products result in rapid ozone regeneration?  I just do not hear about it anymore.   :headscratch:

The degeneration of ozone has pretty much stopped, levels are still low but predictions is that they will start to increase within a decade or so.

So the computer modeling the UN has been basing the end of the world on, which translates into redistribution of moneys from the 1st world have been highly inflated. The end of the world warming by 2100 is 5x-10x over inflated along with CO2's real ability to cause said warming due to "errors" in the computer programs. Which result in over inflating the effect of CO2 and the worldwide temperature on average by 2100.

When the UN championed the global warming computer generated modeling as fact. The 1st world economy was changed to funnel more money and power into the hands of governments and companies who agreed with the modeling. All the while those instigating the change ultimately using the UN's position, based entirely from computer models, as their moral authority when challenged. The UN is not god, nor does the UN have a track record of success about much of anything. Unless it's creating panels and initiatives to fleece the 1st world of it's money by declaring the end of the world over things that never come to pass.

Pollution is a real problem which the USA and EU do a nice job of mitigating locally. Global warming, you need a global army to hold a gun to the heads of all countries to force the massive reduction in CO2 values the garbage computer models describe by 2100. It's also an excellent way to control populations and who they will vote for without having to put a gun to their head. Anyone noticed that countries are not meeting their CO2 emissions goals while one after the other are discovering the will go broke trying?

I went to school for a science major (chemistry).  Left with a quarter to go (12 credits short) to go to work in a record store.  Ended up in a highly compensated executive position in the music industry.  Napster came along... poof.  Adapt and change.  Now I'm in the financial services industry.  Along the way I've been a buyer, a salesperson, a marketer, an operations manager, a head of IT and a myriad of other functions.  As long as you have initiative you can do whatever you want to, degree or not.  At this point I'll probably never get back where I was from an income standpoint and I don't care because I've found a level of comfort where I am and it's good enough for now.

As to global warming my scientific training leads me to believe there's a strong likelihood it's real based on the ever growing consensus of the scientific community.  It was the politicians who poo-poo'd the idea for a long time and now even they are coming around.  The scientific community has been wrong before.  They, like everyone else once thought the world was flat.  They've also been right before, creating most of the technological advances known to mankind (and possibly helping to lead us to this point along the way).

While the world wont burn up during my lifetime (and I have no children of my own), if there is a likelihood it's real are we willing to let it go and leave it to the next generation (your kids) when it may be too late?  It's interesting observing the balance between greed, responsibility and morality.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

75 out of 77 hand picked from a pool of around 3400 is a growing consensus of scientists ?

By Joseph Bast and Roy Spencer

The myth of the climate change 97%

What is the origin of the false belief that nearly all scientists agree about global warming?

Quote
Another widely cited source for the consensus view is an article in Eos: Transactions of the American Geophysical Union. It reported the results of a two-question online survey of selected scientists, and claimed “97 percent of climate scientists agree.” Most scientists who are skeptical of man-made catastrophic global warming would nevertheless answer “yes” to both questions. However, the survey was silent on whether the human impact – or the rise in temperature – is large enough to constitute a problem. It also failed to include scientists most likely to be aware of natural causes of climate change.

There is no basis for the claim that 97% of scientists believe that man-made climate change is a dangerous problem.

nobody pays anyone to write anti MMGW papers!
Their are many noted, "named" scientists that hold a position against MMGW tho

Scientists questioning the accuracy of IPCC climate projections

These scientists have said that it is not possible to project global climate accurately enough to justify the ranges projected for temperature and sea-level rise over the next century. They may not conclude specifically that the current IPCC projections are either too high or too low, but that the projections are likely to be inaccurate due to inadequacies of current global climate modeling.

Scientists arguing that global warming is primarily caused by natural processes


Graph showing the ability with which a global climate model is able to reconstruct the historical temperature record, and the degree to which those temperature changes can be decomposed into various forcing factors. It shows the effects of five forcing factors: greenhouse gases, man-made sulfate emissions, solar variability, ozone changes, and volcanic emissions.[61]
These scientists have said that the observed warming is more likely to be attributable to natural causes than to human activities. Their views on climate change are usually described in more detail in their biographical articles.

I have never said their isnt. I know it is, many of them paid by the oil industry but i guess its irrelevant.

First you were impying that there is no concesus and when I show you that there is, then concesus means nothing. You are also assuming that all scientist but those who are against MMGW are bought and have an agenda to hide the truth from the people. But that argument can as easily be used the other way around..
