BLZFAN4LIFE Posted December 18, 2009 Posted December 18, 2009 So this is global warming? World leaders flying into Copenhagen today to discuss a solution to global warming will first face freezing weather as a blizzard dumped 10 centimeters (4 inches) of snow on the Danish capital overnight. Denmark has a maritime climate and milder winters than its Scandinavian neighbors. It hasn’t had a white Christmas for 14 years, under the DMI’s definition, and only had seven last century. Temperatures today fell as low as minus 4 Celsius (25 Fahrenheit).
KD in CA Posted December 18, 2009 Posted December 18, 2009 It's not global warming anymore. It's Climate ChangeTM. That way they don't need to update the propaganda every time the "scientific consensus" changes it's mind.
DC Tom Posted December 18, 2009 Posted December 18, 2009 So this is global warming? One of my already-stated issues with the global warming research is attempting to draw long-term trends with short-term data. This is worse than that - if you can't derive a centuries-long trend from centuries of data, then you sure as hell can't disprove it with a week's worth. It's the precise equivalent of Dwight Drane seeing a 30-point drop in the DJIA and screaming "I was right, it's the Rapture!"

Put your charts and graphs aside for one minute and admit that it's funny that a conference on"Global warming" is being held in record low temperature's. God you must be a riot at a party.

IDBillzFan Posted December 18, 2009 Posted December 18, 2009 I think it was just a joke Tom. I'm not sure why, because the comparison really doesn't work, but when I heard it was snowing like crazy in the middle of a conference designed to stop the planet from changing temperatures, it somehow made me think of the scene in "Independence Day" when all alien-believers gather on the roof of the building where the UFO is hovering, and they're all holding signs like "Take me!", and the UFO's doors start to open, and they're all excited because they're finally going to have contact with aliens, and the first thing the aliens do is blow up the freaking building and every assclown on the roof.
Chef Jim Posted December 18, 2009 Posted December 18, 2009 No, there's global warming alright. It may have been snowing in Copenhagen but it was 80 degrees here in my office in SF. The HVAC was broken.
bills_fan Posted December 18, 2009 Posted December 18, 2009 Good work by Bloomberg. That headline amuses me.
DrFishfinder Posted December 18, 2009 Posted December 18, 2009 So this is global warming? ....and we blasted heat records here in Ef El Ay all last week. I ain't sayin it's global warming, but I'm getting sick of sweating in December. Maybe it's "Weather Retardation"?
drnykterstein Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 You folks show a clear lack of understanding on this. Global warming results in extreme temperatures on both ends of the spectrum. It also will result in more rain in some areas and less rain in others.

Please tax me into submission to ease the guilt!

drnykterstein Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 Well, it was some scientist. I'm not sure which one. I'm sure the scientist I was listening to was out to destroy America and drink babies blood though. That seems to be the prevailing motive of the scientists of the world.

DC Tom Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 http://environment.about.com/b/2007/02/02/...-study.htm?r=et Oh, my God! Research is being funded by research grants!
RI Bills Fan Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 Oh, my God! Research is being funded by research grants! Which proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that they have an agenda!
drnykterstein Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 Oh, my God! Research is being funded by research grants! I suppose I'm just not entirely comfortable the payment for research being based on the outcome, and not the actual research itself. Perhaps this type of thing would cause the research to lack accuracy?
