Quote:Another appeal to authority? You must believe in Astrology too. 97% of professional astrologers agree that what happens to you tomorrow depends on the alignment of the planets at your birth.


 
The climate change departments of both NASA and NOAA are run by individuals, they are not the whole of the organization. And both depend on continued alarm in order to get continued funding. If there's no problem, there's no funding.


 
Do you really believe the global temperature in 1880 was known to within one degree? Two thirds of the planet is ocean, how many thermometers were there in the ocean to measure daily or even monthly temperature in 1880? How many in Africa? South America? Asia?


 
We really only have global temperature measurements since 1979. The only truly global temperature measurements are the satellite measurements. They show a rise of about 0.4 degrees since 1979 when the world was recovering from a cold decade significant enough to make new-ice-age headlines.

Hey friend. Just so you know, listening to professionals and experts isn't an appeal to authority. It's called not being a moron. It's called not having your politics so far up your butt you would rather believe lies bloggers on the Internet and congerssional republicans tell you.


Hey I got an idea. If we aren't supposed to listen to experts, you should probably sue the court system. Cause a lot of times they call get an expert to come testify on a case. It's called expert testimony. What a joke that is! Can you imagine how many innocent lives have been destroyed by these people!? Probably some big money in it for you that lawsuit. I wouldn't hire a lawyer tho, you better represent yourself, wouldn't want an expert muddling things up for ya.
