20150922 - Dr. Kevin Trenberth - Climate Change - Live Show Chat Thread

[Bodach]

Here we go.  From the study that people and politicians pull the "97.1% of climatologists agree"  "MUH CONSENSUS!"

http://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/8/2/024024

66% of climatologists don't take a position on the issue.  There is far from any consensus:

cause most americans have their own issues to worry about..yet when crisis happens Americans are usually the first in and one of the ones that tend to donate a lot

[jazmunda]

It just sounds so scripted. It doesn't sound like a conversation at all. Very cringeworthy.

It needs more screaming lady.

[Spinner]

. . .  And they don't talk about Greenland's ice is getting thicker.... That is a very well kept secret because it doesn't fit the models.

In other words, it doesn't support the agenda of the propaganda creators.

[Art]

From the Weekly Standard, a top notch respected enterprise.

That might be the craziest sentence in this entire thread. 

[maren]

It's caused by cow farts.

The Ice Age was caused by dinosaur farts.

We're doomed!!!

That's true about the cow flatulence (I'm old but don't remember the dinosaurs  )  I wonder if that was a problem before they switched their diet to corn?  I'm serious.

Here's one thing that gets me, if you took a glass of water and put in a few ice cubes it would hold a certain amount of water, now if and when the ice cudes melt that level remains the same!  It does not over flow the glass or rise the level of water in the glass. There is a certain amount of water on this planet and it is not gaining or becoming less. Don't get it???

Weather as a Force Multiplier:
Owning the Weather in 2025

A high-risk, high-reward endeavor, weather-modification offers a dilemma not unlike the splitting of the
atom. While some segments of society will always be reluctant to examine controversial issues such as
weather-modification, the tremendous military capabilities that could result from this field are ignored at our
own peril. From enhancing friendly operations or disrupting those of the enemy via small-scale tailoring of
natural weather patterns to complete dominance of global communications and counterspace control,
weather-modification offers the war fighter a wide-range of possible options to defeat or coerce an
adversary.

When you plan on owning the weather, and want to experiment clandestinely on a global scale, it'd sure be handy to have a global mainstream hysteria about man made (nudge, nudge, wink, wink) global warming / cooling / climate change as cover.

I was at Disco demolition, closest  thing i ever saw to a riot since the Martin Luther King march in Chicago

I supported the concept, but the execution really sucked.

Get Ed Dames on the line.

[Jocko Johnson]

Change our economy...changes to our lives and economy...THANK YOU, THERE IT IS RIGHT THERE BINGO!!!

[Sandra Kristen]

Just do open lines. Please. Pretty please? Sugar on top.

[(Sandman) Logan-5]

*fingers crossed*

This topic would be more fun on Richard's show as he'd start talking about 19.5, torsion fields and how all of this will lead to disclosure.

Yes

[Barfly]

That's because 19.5 is the limit of White Castles one can eat in a single sitting.

Most i ever did was 10 dbl cheesburgers

[SciFiAuthor]

Sea level rise got him.

[zmbabwe]

This is an example of how to diminish other's opinions and claim the high ground. A classic leftist strategy.

It's a rhetorical device used by people of all ideologies. 

[GravitySucks]

Lost the guest... Underwater.... Glub glub

[malachi.martini]

Keith got me cringing so hard, too.
Hot damn this is such a bad ad. I almost wanna make my own and offer it up instead.

"Art Bell? Who's that?"
45 seconds into the ad.

Have no fear, the internet is here.

[Juan Cena]

its going to turn into a show on the pope since he landed in D.C today lol

Shocked Dave hasn't had John Hogue or some other "prophecy" expert on about St Malachy's prophecies how Pope Francis is supposed to be the last Pope.

[starrmtn001]

Oh dear.

[jazmunda]

The Climate Police got him!

[(Sandman) Logan-5]

Blah ha ha ha ha ....
SLIDERS ! !

[Mind Flayer Monk]

The Climate Police got him!

Took away his funding and shut off the power in an instant!

[Bodach]

Thank you for asking this, Art.

My nephew called me and told me Steve is back on WLS, what a whacky world

In 1992 I was working briefly at NASA in Greenbelt Maryland.  When I was there I saw a huge buzz going around about a discovery that the Sun's output was increasing significantly and that it was causing the warming of the entire Solar System.  At the time they said it was expected to increase "at least through 2012".  They were really making a big deal about this.  What is odd to me is that the media doesn't talk about this.  Also, those of us who've been around a while all notice the Sun feels MUCH stronger than it used to be.
