In a previous thread, I provided you with proof that the Medieval Warming Period was not a regional anomally, mainly affecting northern hemisphere land masses adjoining the Atlantic Ocean.
The description of MWP as a regional anomally is a central plank of the global warming crowd because it is known that the MWP was warmer than current temperatures.
I provided you witha link to a peer-reviewed study of ocean life forms that showed that both the MWP and the Little Ice Age were relected in the pacific ocean and the antartic ocean.
You decided not to respond to it!
So when yyou are given scientific evidence, of the caliber you demand, you ignore it. Then you bang on about private corporations being trust-worthy or not (as if the government is sooooo trust-worthy).

Um no it would not need that many and if you check the facts that was a made up line of BS on your part. Need to support such claims so we can see who really is this way and who among the original Warmest are now against the conclusions.

Hoax would mean that hundreds of thousands of scientists around the world are all together trying to fool us... that's impossible. And Mike Adams is a charlatan, as shown by another member.
Whether it is natural or man made global warming is happening:

The problem with the global warming hoax is the main solution brought up by the same people who created the problems : Carbon credits, carbon tax, carbon whatever.
They are purposely pointing the wrong factor because they clearly don't want to change their ways, they don't want to stop killing the earth with pollution.
I really don't give a damn if humans are the reason for "global warming", we shouldn't be looking for who to blame. We are all in this together. We need to stop polluting first and second, adjust to whatever earth's climate is.

Thank you for that but I am doing a nursing research right now so I know how peer reviewed articles work. There's lot of truth in that article but I disagree with your statement because scientists would make so much more money by proving others were wrong, by proving with clear evidence they had the right idea/theory. Plus there are too many people involved to be a hoax, we are talking hundreds of thousands of people in too many countries. Sorry, but I think it's impossible.
There is too much evidence that proves global warming is real, from many different sources, even from oil companies.

Were you so impressed with my graph you replied to me three times?
Yes, 1850 to 2006. I have other graphs, what would you like to see?

I quite often wonder about the global cooling/warming/changing, saga, what with a Canadian coastguard stating that the ice in the Hudson bay is the worst he's seen it in twenty years, so the Hudson bay does not feel the warming then?
Plus all the reports of snow being the worst yet last winter? and some of that snow still not melted at Buffalo, NY in June? Also snow not melted in Scotland, UK, in July? and I don't mean the tops of mountains.
This information via news blogs into my email inbox. Plus, this fine blog.
I'm starting to wonder if this vid might not explain a lot of what we're seeing. It is from October of this year and, if you can get past the title he chose, this guy (among others on YT) may be on to something. In the "Age Of The Tweet", I'm hoping at least a few of you will watch all the way through. Thirty one minutes is a lot more of an investment of time than a simple, "You're making Too D*mned Much CO2!!!" but if he's anywhere near knowing what he'd talking about, we're in for a rough time regardless of what schemes the ruling class comes up with.
I readily admit that I know nothing about using GPS and that I'm only able to grasp about 3/4 of what he's saying but I also noticed that it is NOAA that he's saying has been apparently using modeling for the North Pole instead of anyone actually going there to verify their predictions.
One thing I am familiar with is the ecliptic and for the last few years I've thought something didn't seem quite right in the night sky. If the indigenous peoples of the North are saying that the Sun has changed in the sky, I'd be more inclined to believe them than some stuffed shirt with string of letters behind his name. They've had to pass down from generation to generation how to read the signs to survive in that hostile environment. If the Earth is changing the orientation of the magnetosphere there is NOTHING we can do about it...

I always think the people who harp on and on with the "the climate is always changing" rhetoric are humorous. You guys seem to neglect that CO2 caused the climate to change back then too. Yes it was natural CO2 changes, but CO2 was DEFINITELY a factor regarding the changing climates in the past.
The IPCC Explains... Natural Causes of Ice Ages and Climate Change
Although it is not their primary cause, atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) also plays an important role in the ice ages. Antarctic ice core data show that CO2 concentration is low in the cold glacial times (~190 ppm), and high in the warm interglacials (~280 ppm); atmospheric CO2 follows temperature changes in Antarctica with a lag of some hundreds of years. Because the climate changes at the beginning and end of ice ages take several thousand years, most of these changes are affected by a positive CO2 feedback; that is, a small initial cooling due to the Milankovitch cycles is subsequently amplified as the CO2 concentration falls. Model simulations of ice age climate (see discussion in Section 6.4.1) yield realistic results only if the role of CO2 is accounted for.
During the last ice age, over 20 abrupt and dramatic climate shifts occurred that are particularly prominent in records around the northern Atlantic (see Section 6.4). These differ from the glacial-interglacial cycles in that they probably do not involve large changes in global mean temperature: changes are not synchronous in Greenland and Antarctica, and they are in the opposite direction in the South and North Atlantic. This means that a major change in global radiation balance would not have been needed to cause these shifts; a redistribution of heat within the climate system would have sufficed. There is indeed strong evidence that changes in ocean circulation and heat transport can explain many features of these abrupt events; sediment data and model simulations show that some of these changes could have been triggered by instabilities in the ice sheets surrounding the Atlantic at the time, and the associated freshwater release into the ocean.
Much warmer times have also occurred in climate history – during most of the past 500 million years, Earth was probably completely free of ice sheets (geologists can tell from the marks ice leaves on rock), unlike today, when Greenland and Antarctica are ice-covered. Data on greenhouse gas abundances going back beyond a million years, that is, beyond the reach of antarctic ice cores, are still rather uncertain, but analysis of geological samples suggests that the warm ice-free periods coincide with high atmospheric CO2 levels. On million-year time scales, CO2 levels change due to tectonic activity, which affects the rates of CO2 exchange of ocean and atmosphere with the solid Earth. See Section 6.3 for more about these ancient climates.
So if we are dumping excess CO2 into the atmosphere (while at the same time deforesting unprecedented amounts of trees) it's GOING to have an impact. I'm sorry but the "the climate has always been changing" excuse, to me, just says that you are just repeating rhetoric and not actually looking at any science to see if you are actually correct.

Insignificant impact and you have seen these reports that support it in other threads and you still don't want to believe it do you?

You will likely be slammed for posting that Global Warming is a Hoax (and rightly so). but more to the point, you should be slammed for posting an article from Natural News, written by Mike Adams who is a raging conspiracy nutbag and in no way a climate scientist of any kind. I may even agree with some of the things he is skeptical about, but as a source... come on, you can do infinitely better.

PS: he wasn't right about anti-vaxing science.

Yes, I do believe those are called "seasons," among other things, like the little ice age. Climate does indeed change. But that's not the issue, is it? The issue is what -- if any -- impact mankind has on climate and weather, and we both know that neither of us knows. You -- and anyone -- can declare it all you want, but claiming to know as fact what cannot be known doesn't convince me.
Nope. See above... why look for something to confirm what I already know cannot be known? Neither yea or nay. What I do know is that these climate summit in Paris is creating a H U G E and unnecessary carbon footprint which is supposedly the very thing they're trying to prevent... so if manmade global warming is real, these sure aren't the folks to fix it!
They've been sounding the alarms since the 50's or 60's and it wasn't until the 90's that politicians really started to jump on board. Do not reinvent history and pretend like politicians pitched a solution to a problem they invented.

That it is not cool to ignore solid evidence from solid scientist like the example after example you have had to view from sources provided to you in these forums.
Real Scientist's who ARE able to argue against your stance on this have been used in examples that pale in comparison to the amount of CO2 we actually have in the atmospheric gases at this point in time.
People such as I who are professionals in this field are being hurt by this DISTORTION of the truth for profit of those who want to foist this absolute lie upon us that we have tried our best to inform you of WITH FACTS backed with sources, i might add.
Here is ANOTHER former IPCC warmist member with her take on it.
judithcurry.com...
IF YOU will just think this through you WILL see what i have been saying for quite some time now, IS TRUE. I expect you of all people to try to read up on why we are saying these things and so easily are able to support our claims.
One possible explanation for the discrepancy is that forced and internal variation might combine differently in observations than in models. For example, the forced trends in models are modulated up and down by simulated sequences of ENSO events, which are not expected to coincide with the observed sequence of such events. For this reason the moderating influence on global warming that arises from the decay of the 1998 El Niño event does not occur in the models at that time. Thus we employ here an established technique to estimate the impact of ENSO on global mean temperature, and to incorporate the effects of dynamically induced atmospheric variability and major explosive volcanic eruptions. Although these three natural variations account for some differences between simulated and observed global warming, these differences do not substantively change our conclusion that observed and simulated global warming are not in agreement over the past two decades. Another source of internal climate variability that may contribute to the inconsistency is the Atlantic multidecadal oscillation (AMO). However, this is difficult to assess as the observed and simulated variations in global temperature that are associated with the AMO seem to be dominated by a large and concurrent signal of presumed anthropogenic origin. It is worth noting that in any case the AMO has not driven cooling over the past 20 years.
Another possible driver of the difference between observed and simulated global warming is increasing stratospheric aerosol concentrations. Other factors that contribute to the discrepancy could include a missing decrease in stratospheric water vapour, errors in aerosol forcing in the CMIP5 models, a bias in the prescribed solar irradiance trend, the possibility that the transient climate sensitivity of the CMIP5 models could be on average too high or a possible unusual episode of internal climate variability not considered above. Ultimately the causes of this inconsistency will only be understood after careful comparison of simulated internal climate variability and climate model forcings with observations from the past two decades, and by waiting to see how global temperature responds over the coming decades.
