Mr Opinionated,

As an environmental sociologist you carry the scientific clout of a preschooler.

To claim that anthropogenic warming is the only factor in climate change is ludicrous and much of IPCC scientists' efforts are spent in trying to separate out the different effects, and one of the greatest threats to their credibility is self appointed prophets crying wolf and posting dubious studies that predict apocalypse.

Shadow Minister,

The scientific community is not claiming that anthropogenic warming is the only factor in climate change. Scientists have been able to trace climate change back hundreds of millions of years ago and can describe the changes over these large expanse of time in amazing detail.

What the scientific community is saying is that the global warming recorded over the past 240 years since the start of the Industrial Revolution is being caused by the burning of fossil fuels. It is the only probable cause of global warming during this period that they cannot eliminate from their analyses.

Are you familiar with the scientific method and the concept of falsification? May I suggest you engage in formal studies at university before you start criticising the scientific community on their findings. You should understand the science before you open your mouth because the sorts of things you are coming out with makes you look like a real fool. Do you want to end up like Loudmouth and Hasbeen who go around pretending they have degrees.

Misopinionated,

Pot, kettle.

Joe

Loudmouth,

No, wrong again. Unlike you I don't have to lie about myself.

Indy,
You said, 'White island only became a man made human catastrope because humans went there'

True,and we still have idiots that think humans have some influence over natural events. After spending billions we still cannot make it rain, turn the tide or stop the wind from blowing or prevent a frost, yet some loonies think we can alter the world climate. Fools are born every day.

Fools will never learn that humans have no influence over nature

HenryL,

According to your definition above Bill Gates and Richard Branson are a couple of 'idiots that think humans have some influence over natural events' because both are spending billions of dollars on research and development into geoengineering projects that will remove CO2 from the atmosphere with the aim of cooling down the planet.

They intend to sell these schemes to world governments to make billions of dollars from the impact of anthropogenic global warming and its consequential climate change.

I believe they would think that you are the idiot, not them.
