As Britain told to expect snow for 'next 10 days', how is the rest of the world is coping with this Arctic weather?

the article steven keeps re posting, it is from dec 2004.......... mine is more recent.

Warming fears are the "worst scientific scandal in the history…When people come to

know what the truth is, they will feel deceived by science and scientists." - UN IPCC

Japanese Scientist Dr. Kiminori Itoh, an award-winning PhD environmental physical

chemist.

"Gore prompted me to start delving into the science again and I quickly found myself

solidly in the skeptic camp…Climate models can at best be useful for explaining climate

changes after the fact." - Meteorologist Hajo Smit of Holland, who reversed his belief in

man-made warming to become a skeptic, is a former member of the Dutch UN IPCC

committee.

"The quantity of CO2 we produce is insignificant in terms of the natural circulation

between air, water and soil... I am doing a detailed assessment of the UN IPCC reports

and the Summaries for Policy Makers, identifying the way in which the Summaries have

distorted the science." - South Afican Nuclear Physicist and Chemical Engineer Dr. Philip

Lloyd, a UN IPCC co-coordinating lead author who has authored over 150 refereed

publications.

i'm torn between warsteiner and bitburger.....

Keep reaching. Find a body of science, whose expertise is in climate, that has said unequivocally that their conclusion is in disagreement with the rest of the bodies of science who study climate.

From Dr. Itoh's guest web blog:

"According to several comments on this book on Amazon Japan, the book should be rated as of the highest scientific quality and the best book on this subject despite the impression from its sensational title (due to the publisher)."

He goes on to say:

Tadashi and I are basically physical chemists familiar with environmental sciences, and not particularly specialized in climate science.

If he in fact had done a report reflecting any conclusions to the contrary of the IPCC report, where is it?

Here's more of his admission as to the sensationalized chapters in his book from the publisher:

Now, the content of the book is as follows (the titles of the chapters are sensational too):

• Preface: The worst scientific scandal in the history.
  
• Introduction: The global warming issue as an environmental terrorism.
  
• Chapter 1: Is the earth really warming?
  
• Chapter 2: What drives the temperature change?
  
• Chapter 3: Are abnormal weathers really abnormal?
  
• Chapter 4: Adhockery of “An Inconvenient Truth.”
  
• Chapter 5: Future perspective from the reflection of Kyoto Protocol
  

We have described many topics in this book, including inaccurate temperature measurements (e.g., A. Watt’s work), “observations” of climate sensitivity, many climate forcings such as colored-aerosol and vegetation (based on 2005 NRC report as Roger has so many times pointed out), and the effect of solar magnetic activity (including my own work). To discuss these topics I largely depended upon information provided on Climate Science. (Ah, so we get to the heart of the matter...he hasn't actually done any research himself.)

Here you go again...unable to understand the difference between peer reviewed scientific journals and a published book.

Some advice - try to find a peer-reviewed scientific journal that contradicts the consensus on Global Warming.

these guys are part of the IPCC.

keep on raising that bar, it's hilarious.

I don't get this disdain and distrust people have for the work of scientists, I really don't.

I don't get this disdain and distrust people have for the work of scientists, I really don't.

They grew up in a patriarchal, Archie Bunker type household where father always knew best, even when he really didn't.

I just have disdain for the lieing ones. That creates a bit of distrust.

Beats he!! outta bein raised a victim!

Continuing evidence that Al Gore has ended Global Warming. Thanks Al.

And my internet is so FAST!

Lying scientists? Yeah that Stephen hawking is one lying SOB.

I also hear that Michael Gazzaniga cheats at cards and that Richard Dawkins screws hookers behind his wides back.

Glad you hold these types in such high regards. Now back to your ink blots!

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Now hold on there Marcy Marc. I thought you said just now that you don't have a general disdain for scientists? At least that's what you said, right?

I namedrop a quantum physicist (a household name no less) and a couple of similarly famous biologists and you write them off as "types".

What scientists do you personally respect Marc? Got anyone particular in mind?

[mawilson 2,133]

The control of who by what?

Control of the money flow to ensure it runs to the right places, i.e. from the developed world

(USA, Europe, etc) to the developing world (China, India, etc)

Marcy? I'm way past being effected by names. If you must, go ahead. Science is kind of like clay, it can be molded and formed to make a specific outcome. If you believe in that outcome then it becomes true to the one swallowing it.

Therefore why are you swallowing his load and not mine? Is it taste? Is it the amount of load or is it you just like him better?

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

So basically what you are saying, contrary to what you said before, is that you have a general disdain for scientists.

[Peikko 1,575]

Marc knows everything. I am guessing he's god.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

I expect he's one of those guys who subscribes to the sort of opinions I used to overhear in Essex pubs.

"Its all a load of old shite"

"They're all poofs and lezzies"
