Topic: Reddit’s science forum banned climate deniers. - page 40. (Read 636455 times)

I am quite familiar with the issues of CO2 residence time in the atmosphere.  It is something of an interesting subject.  One fascinating thing about climate religioscience is that no actually interesting issues can be taught.

Such things would require examination of alternative explanations and views, which cannot be allowed.  They would require asking questions in the forbidden zones, the areas where Thinking Cannot Be Allowed.

I think this is why Warmers, even those who are actual scientists, tend to do very poorly in debates and discussion with climate skeptics.

I scanned the NPR article mostly because in my youth I gained a lot of information about the world through that channel and much of my family still does.  As expected, the content was a cacophony of exaggeration, misinformation, and gross logical errors.  I doubt that it was simply an accident on the part of the author.

Anyway, I just thought I'd mention that Dr. Salby (or his fans) have a new lecture out on youtube which might be of interest to some:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3q-M_uYkpT0
As with his recent lectures, the mathematics do not exceed the capabilities of those with a basic exposure to differential and integral calculus.

The main focus of this lecture seems to be an exploration of the very important residence time of CO2 in the atmosphere.  As usual, Dr. Salby derives this value through multiple methods and compares the result.  As far as I can tell, 'popular' science has devolved to the point where this basic method is no longer even understood much less valued by the the practitioners of scientism.

The values Salby comes up with for residence time are vastly below those used by the 'modelers' and explain nicely the observation that the models are proving intensely invalid as the years drift by.

Salby's work in the current socio-political pseudo-science landscape also explains the desire on the part of the warmunistas like Dr. Mann to discontinue the use of data and lock the 'science' into a 'settled' state as well as the push to criminalize the activities of people like Dr. Salby using RICO statutes and the like.

" Occupying a country by army is dangerous... but the most dangerous is to make people believe that this army is here for their profits "

=> This is why most of efforts made on how to cover the event in media rather than finding a radical solution for it...

Actually, for shits and giggles and to amuse, I did do a beer review of the offerings from the brewers who I sent the note to.  I trimmed that part for this post.  I used to buy Sierra Nevada from time to time and liked it well enough for it's class so it was a disapointment to have to put it on my no-buy list.  New Belgian I never cared much for so that was no great loss.

The reason for my note was mostly pre-emptive.  There are certain brewers who I would be severely disapointed to need to embargo and I wanted to catch them before they fell into the trap.

Looking through the list again just now, my other big disapointment is Lagunitas.  They do quite a good imperial stout which doesn't cost $10/bottle and imperial stout is my favorite so I am always on the lookout for it.  I like barelywine also but it is about the only substance on earth which can reliably give me a headache

No, they're not too stupid or anything like that. They just have crippling cognitive biases and this is one of the places where they can sit around the watercooler and say to themselves "they're all idiots" while patting each other on the back.

I like cryptocurrency people for their skepticism, but at some point you realize that their skepticism is all too often too far out there.

They don't care. They don't care about water rising, about temperature increases. They don't care that each year we break new records on every domain. They're just too lazy to care about that...

Why do you argue ?! You are right in their own way. It all boils down to the fact that the blame for global warming, are the people. More specifically, the activities of people, resulting in air pollution and the destruction of the planet Earth. It has long been known that if mankind does not stop killing planet Earth. Earth will kill mankind.

Re the bolded above.

Did you mean BEER review?

Still writing nonsense about global warming aren't you boys?
It's incredible how you still waste time and energy denying reality.

But I guess as long as you're whining about a global conspiracy you're not trying to think about the consequences. No-one here would like to imagine what would happen if most of you is wrong and the rest of scientific world is right?

Now, you wouldn't dare but imbide anything but real vegan beer, would you?

This has been going on for a while.  I first became aware of it here from 2014:

  https://www.nrdc.org/brewers-clean-water

I took it upon myself to write an e-mail promising to avoid buying beer from any brewer on the list and sent it to all of brewers of the craft beers that I endulge in...and I drink to much.

The EPA's push for increased control of 'water' and their WOTUS
stuff is not about 'clean water'.  It is about control of land,
and anyone who has researched this and read the various 'action
plans' understands the deal.  I think that one of the reasons
why there are few West Coast brewers on this list is that we on
the West Coast recognize this and how detrimental it will be to
our quality of life.

I, as someone who is fairly politically progressive and
environmentally aware, am quite conscious of this mainly
because Oregon's DEQ recently exercised flat-out straight-up
racketeering on me.  This got me researching the whole 'sustainability'
scam set up by the likes of Ken Lay of Enron fame and more recently
Hank Paulson of 'marshal law if no bailout' fame.

Maybe the waters East of the Rocky Mountain suck due to
agricultural run-off and that is why the brewers out there care
(or pretend to.)  Let's assume that and play it out.  What good
is it going to do to give the Federal authorities the legal
right to screw with everybody about their mud-puddle?  They
are not going to stop agriculture or everyone will starve.
Half of the higher-ups are going to do the revolving door thing
into big-ag an the other half the revolving door into the growing
eco-industrial complex.  Only Fed level politics will change
the ratios somewhat.  The grunts on the ground will play their
'petty tyrant' games acting as feeders to the more local
engineering and construction firms.  Ask me how I know this.

Back in the day (when I was a kid) the 'environmentalists' were,
as people, about the same as they are now.  I grew up among
them.  The big difference is they had something worthwhile to
do.  Like getting waters cleaned up that were actually filthy
and keeping nuclear plants from being built on top of faults
and so forth.  Now those who long for the good old days are
increasingly desperate because their problems have largely
vanished.  They are making crap up.  Funding is in abundance
because a great deal of the environmental movement is basically
driven by people who see the utility of 'inventory and control'
of all resources.

I happen to have a very sensitive and important river running
right through my property.  I take my responsibilities to
preserving it's health seriously.  My understandings of the
local ecology come from research and observations over 40
years and not some nebulous ramblings of some condo-dweller
who got his/her graduate degree out of a crackerjack box.  Any
old-school scientist who takes the time to actually reads the
East Anglia material (aka, 'climate-gate') rather than just
accept what the media says about it being no big deal should
be prepared to puke.  What these people pass off for 'science'
at this point is an utter joke and has made a mockery of 'peer
review' process an almost every other aspect of science.

Anyway, my vote for West Coast brew is more Willamette hops,
less fluoride, and less absurd bureaucratic totalitarianism and
hassles.  Feel free to publish my rant if it helps explain why
your brewery wasn't roped into this NRDC PR scam.

Eco-Nonsense Now Spreads To Beer As Eco-Friendly Brewing Becomes The Latest Marketing Fad

A climate scientist brought my attention to a recent article reporting how one site has identified 13 beers that are climatically and environmentally correct to drink. I’m pretty sure his main objective was to show just how nutty the movement has become.

Climate Change Contrarians Lose Big Betting Against Global Warming

Two members of the Global Warming Policy Foundation academic advisory board have each lost [roughly $1,320 (1,000 British Pound)] betting that 2015 would not be warmer than 2008.

$1,320 against Trillions....


Hmmm....

Climate change is potentially a $7 Trillion dollar money making venture (for bankers)

The current “green” industry is already around $1.5 Trillion a year. Mark Carney, the Governor of the Bank of England said he expects this to grow to $5-7 trillion.
