This thread should not be derailed by semantics and [BLEEP] for tat over CONSPIRACY HONESTY or any of the like.  I don't care if those who espouse AGCC are conspiratorial, dishonest, incorrect, incompetent or any other emotional amplifier that you wish to give.  The point of the matter is that they have linked their doomsday predictions to a variable that has increased exponentially over the last 20 years with no corresponding critical impact on the climate or surface temperatures. 

 

In reality, what disguises itself as a scientific movement has been shamefully exposed as an anecdotal freak show where any ANY event of extreme weather is held up as an example of AGCC with no explanation, no proof, no context, and the masses just eat it up with no mathematical basis to do so. The devotion to the cause has made some so biased that you have a group of climate scientists on an expedition to determine how horrendously melted the ice caps are get stuck in the ice because it was magnitudes thicker than they anticipated, and then the first ice breaker sent to rescue them got stuck because the ice was so thick and it took at second rescue vessel to unclog the mess.  And what do these people do when faced with clear unambiguous evidence that their basic assumption was ridiculous?  They literally go back into their cabins on the way home and calculate how many trees will have to be planted to cover the CARBON FOOTPRINT of the rescue operation.  

 

Bias is part of human nature, its a hard thing to break, but it neither has a place in the scientific community or more importantly, crafting public policy specifically designed to ensure that poor old people on fixed incomes won't have enough fuel to heat themselves during the winter.  The only thing that most who espouse AGCC understand less than the actual data on the table, are the real world tangible effects of the SOLUTIONS that they blindly cling to.
