Debate: Global Warming, Voice Your Honest Opinion
Side: There should be action taken.

"Disagreement, sir, should ne'er be tentative"Disagreements should always be tentative due to the absense of pure objective knowledge in this reality with which we are presented."I believe that a correlation is not a causation."So what exactly do you beleive is causing the warming, due to think it is connected with understanding the nature of magnetic waves in the Sun's atmosphere like so many oil companies would have us beleive."To suggest that it hath the principle or sovereign effect, to the exclusion of all other forcing agents, is equally naive"It is never naive to go with the prevailing scientific concensus."However it was my understanding that recent data had shown the sun's influence in these matters to be most drastic."I few peer reviewed papers supporting your point of view cannot be counted as disproving anything when the overwhelming majority of the evidence if opposed to them. If the amount of peer reviewed papers asserting what you beleive were stacked next to the amount asserting what i beleive you would realise the magnitude of your error in making this point."The notion of scientific consensus is itself quite ludicrous"That is simply not true, and you're going to have to get your facts straight if you want to continue this debate i.e.http://www.econbrowser.com/archives/2010/08/a_quantitative_1.html http://www.garnautreview.org.au/update-2011/commissioned-work/anthropogenic-climate-change-expert-credibility.pdf Quote:"The majority of those working on climate science accept the proposition that anthropogenic climate change (ACC) explains most of the recent rise in global temperatures; even sceptics accept that the scientific consensus is against them.""One can find dissent even regarding Sir Isaac's lustrous laws of motion"Em, concensus doesn't imply 100% agreement:-)" decrees considered by me to be almost unequalled in certainty and efficacy. "There is an element of personal judgement involved in screening out effects of background noise all such decrees, even the fundamental axioms of mathematics cannot be considered pure objective knowledge."As for anthropogenic global warming, the consensus is a bare-faced lie. "Source please."Wave as many lists of signatures as you wish."Well i prefer to understand how you came to the conclusion no such concensus existed."Incidentally, it hath occurred to me of late that Jesus Christ, who preached much sense, was probably atheistic himself"I prefer to consider him pantheistic as i am."A degree in the commonly fraudulent school of climatology is not required. "Fraudulent? If a degree in climatology is fraudulent what degree's are not fraudulent? Geology, Meteorology, Geophysics, are these all fraudulent disciplines that have been invented to hood wink also? Sounds to me like you put far too much faith in the east anglia email debacle which from my understanding was taken out of context, and completely and totally blown out of proportion by climate sceptics the majority of whom have no scientific understanding whatsoever."As a cultural adventure in empiricism, yes"I didn't think i would be saying this but i can really see the value in that opinion."Did'st know that the same man as invented Chlorofluorocarbons also invented leaded petrol? What a disastrous career!"Still a brilliant man though.
