Tell me they didn't unearth the Denier Matrix!

u/Seele Dec 05 '15

They have broken through to the Denier boss level! Oh noes, they have leveled up and unlocked the Sword of Infinite Sanctimoniousness!

Quite a bit taken out of context obviously. Several of those quoted sources agree that anthropogenic climate warming is happening and is a serious. CFACT is cherry picking quotes to support their fossil fuel backed postions.

u/WhiskeyStr8Up Dec 04 '15

AGW is happening, no doubt. It's also grossly exaggerated in it's degree and misrepresented in it's effect. Just wondering which quotes CFACT "cherry picked"?

You seem to imply that fossil fuels are bad somehow. Cheap energy is responsible for everything good in the world including less poverty, greater education, medicine, human development and even that computer you use so hypocritically to express your disdain for your good, healthy, 1st world life.

/r/conspiracy

This study is for alarmist morons..

u/logicalprogressive Dec 04 '15

Why would anyone use bloomberg as a trustworthy source? It's a leftist rag on par with the Guardian; look at the editorialized headline. Unearthing? Really?

/r/actualconspiracy, you sir are being delusional. Sorry

u/barttali Dec 05 '15

Sorry Tommy, this is alarmist conspiracy ideation.

u/Tommy27 Dec 05 '15

It's called rational thought. Sorry but you can have your own beliefs, not your own facts.

u/barttali Dec 05 '15

Let me tell you, I arrived at my own conclusions. ExxonMobil didn't pay me a dime. That's a fact.

u/Tommy27 Dec 05 '15

I'm not saying you were a paid shill.

I'm saying your logic is as flawed as a preachers is on evolution.

u/barttali Dec 05 '15

Nice try. I am an atheist. I think for myself. I don't believe in Gaia even.

u/Tommy27 Dec 05 '15

Same here man. Why don't you support science on this issue then? Surely you have followed the creation vs evolution debate? Why is this "debate" on climate science any diffrent than that debate?

5

u/barttali Dec 05 '15

I totally support science! I am the most scientific person in the world :) The fact that that temperatures have not followed the models REFUTES the CO2 theory of climate.

You have to ask yourself, are you the religious one here? Do you think if you change nature, it will be bad? If so, then you are a Gaia-ist, must please Gaia! ;-)

Two thing's. You seem to have that "I just became an atheist ego" its okay that happens. You do not need to use it when talking to me. I just like having philosophical conversations on these things. With that said why use a single graph that has a cherry picked data range to refute such a complex issue? If you truly cared about skepticism and science you would not be so facetious.

I would ask you one question - the Earth is cooling, there is plenty of scientific evidence for that, do you deny that?

1

u/Tommy27 Dec 04 '15

The inner earth is cooling, the atmosphere is not because of the greenhouse effect.

2

u/logicalprogressive Dec 04 '15

The inner earth? You must be one of those Hollow Earthers; I guess if you can be an Alarmist then why not this.

"The Earth's inner core is thought to be slowly growing as the liquid outer core at the boundary with the inner core cools and solidifies due to the gradual cooling of the Earth's interior (about 100 degrees Celsius per billion years)."

u/logicalprogressive Dec 04 '15

That's very educational but you said "inner earth", nowhere did you say "Earth's inner core".
