— Ace Al Gore declares that if any of your friend expresses any doubt about Global Warming, you should shun/shut him up/shut him down as if he were indulging in racial slurs.
The newest racial slur? "Cosmic rays' central role in cloud formation will compel global warming 'scientists' to throw out all their old 'models.'"
This has significant implications for climate science because water vapour and clouds play a large role in determining global temperatures. Tiny changes in overall cloud cover can result in relatively large temperature changes.Unsurprisingly, it’s a politically sensitive topic, as it provides support for a “heliocentric” rather than “anthropogenic” approach to climate change: the sun plays a large role in modulating the quantity of cosmic rays reaching the upper atmosphere of the Earth.
...
Climate models will have to be revised, confirms CERN in supporting literature (pdf):
“[I]t is clear that the treatment of aerosol formation in climate models will need to be substantially revised, since all models assume that nucleation is caused by these vapours [sulphuric acid and ammonia] and water alone.

I get annoyed with some conservatives who insist that human CO2 emissions do not influence the climate; they might, and it is a valid question. But I'm more disturbed by AGW proponents and their surprising lack of curiosity about things like the solar wind.

I don't know of any conservative who states, categorically, that CO2 emissions do not influence the climate. What they do say, is that the evidence isn't all in, and what evidence is in suggest that the effect on the climate of any "man-made" emission is negligible at worst.

Normally, masses of scientists aren't as vested in "climate change" research money and political implications as they are in this case. Also, normally dissenting scientists aren't as openly intimidated by politicians and the academic heavy weight at East Anglia U.
These fuckers will fight ANY valid challenge to their bullshit tooth and nail, kicking and screaming, by hook and by crook.

You know, if you forget who that is in the video, what he's talking about, etc...
In other words, just looking at body language...
Gore looks freaking insane (or at least off balance). And even more so in the last year or so.
Look at him here: leaning forward, red faced, pointed eyebrows, staring intently at the interviewer. He almost seems like he's running out of breath expressing his thoughts.
Just from a PR point of view: this guy is a bad spokesman for the global warming movement. Thank God.

Yes, it migh, and you are right that it should be researched - objectively, and free of vested interests. What I find unlikely is the magnitude of the impact the alarmists keep pushing. CO2 is, first of all, a trace compound in the atmosphere. And levels of C02 have varied significantly over time, but somehow the correlation with historic temperatures has never been demonstrated.
And then there is the fact the people that push the theory feel the need to intimidate other scientists into silence, and ensure their work cannot be even published...
All that should ring alarm bells.

Wait... are they saying the sun, that massive ball of hot plasma, 330,000 times the mass of earth, that makes up 99.8% of all mass in the solar system, that is a massive nuclear fusion that fuses 620 million tons of hydrogen a second has some effect on how hot our planet is?

Have today's "climate scientists" ever explained why their compelling case for Coming New Ice Age in the 1970's was all wet?
You know... they "proved" that sunlight just wasn't hitting the ground anymore as much as it used to? Just PROVED IT, without a shadow of a doubt, and DEMANDED that HUNDREDS of BILLIONS of dollars be set aside to warehouse food!
So how did the Sunlight suddenly get through????
Remember: many of the VERY SAME scientists pushing GW today are the same ones that made their Brilliant Case for Ice Age back then. They OUGHT to be able to explain all that...

Well... actualy....
If you know how Greenhouse gases work... they only absorb radiation in very specific frequencies (bands), and ALL of the radiation available for CO2 to absorb, is already being absorbed by CO2 and Water vapor.
We've long since passed the point where adding CO2 will change the thermodynamics of the atmosphere, UNLESS you add energy in those specific wavelengths...
Now, Warmists then say, well, the atmosphere will get warmer Higher up (ducting) if you add CO2, but this theory has not only not been prooven, but the upper atmosphere has been Cooling... ergo, the ducting theory makes has, IMO, defies the existing data.
So... to be fair... this Conservative DOES say that adding more CO2 will not do a dang thing, as the existing CO2 is already abosorbing all the radiation available to be abosorbed (in its absorbtion spectrum).

I get annoyed with some conservatives who insist that human CO2 emissions do not influence the climate; they might, and it is a valid question.
As an esoteric question, yes. Given that CO2 is on the order of 0.04% of the atmosphere, and that other well known "greenhouse gases" are more readily available (water vapor, 0.40% over all, and 1-4% near the surface).
Unless there is an amplification effect - which I haven't seen claimed - CO2 isn't that interesting...actually, I'm more interested in finding out why the tree-ring temperature proxy suddenly becomes decoupled from temperature in the 1970s. That's the "hide the decline".
And more importantly, has that proxy ever been decoupled in the past, and how good are our temperature reconstructions of the past in light of this phenomena?

At a campaign stop on Saturday in Winterset, one man asked Paul how terrorist groups would react if the U.S. removed its military presence in Middle Eastern nations, a move the candidate advocates.
“Which enemy are you worried that will attack our national security?” Paul asked.
“If you’re looking for specifics, I’m talking about Islam. Radical Islam,” the man answered.
“I don’t see Islam as our enemy,” Paul said. “I see that motivation is occupation and those who hate us and would like to kill us, they are motivated by our invasion of their land, the support of their dictators that they hate.”

Retracing those 14 years, what if physics had functioned as it is supposed to do? What if CLOUD, quickly approved and funded, had verified the Svensmark effect with all the authority of CERN, in the early 2000s. What if the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change had done a responsible job, acknowledging the role of the Sun and curtailing the prophecies of catastrophic warming?
For a start there would have no surprise about the “travesty” that global warming has stopped since the mid-1990s, with the Sun becoming sulky. Vast sums might have been saved on misdirected research and technology, and on climate change fests and wheezes of every kind. The world’s poor and their fragile living environment could have had far more useful help than precautions against warming.
And there would have been less time for so many eminent folk from science, politics, industry, finance, the media and the arts to be taken in by man-made climate catastrophe. (In London, for example, from the Royal Society to the National Theatre.) Sadly for them, in the past ten years theyÂ’ve crowded with their warmist badges into a Hall of Shame, like bankers before the crash.

Global Warming was never the core issue, but merely one of many excuses and obfuscations they have used to camouflage an otherwise blatant attempt to seize power and control over the lives of others.
Even Marxism is not the root of their evil, but the desire to dictate how others shall live. Marxism and its analogues were just a means to that end.
Only when this is understood and they are fought tooth and toenail as the existential enemies of liberty will true progress be made towards limiting their malign influence.
One of the best tricks that the left pulls is to get us to play games arguing about things like Global Warming instead of attacking their true agenda. They create these disposable positions to sucker us into spending time trying to debunk them instead of focusing on their true agenda: CONTROL.
That is not to say that we should ignore these scams, only that we should never be distracted by them to the point that we lose sight of the real issue.

Yes, I know there was. I heard all about it on the news. The power would go out, society would revert to a state of lawless anarchy, planes would fall out of the sky, and milk and prescription medication would spoil and expire 100 years before it was even made.

So wrong. Businesses typically don't deal with issues until the last minute. Pretty much everyone in Y2K remediation was working away merrily in 1999.
As for awareness, much of the date sensitive code was hidden in unexpected places. For example, a company might think a critical accounting report was safe because it didn't have any apparent dates on it. However, when you drilled down in the code it turns out the report ran off a legacy database extract that hadn't been modified in a decade that did break when the calendar rolled over.
Ask any vet of the Code-Wars, sonny.
