    Look at the titles in that list. Professor of Mathematics is hardly a climate scientist. "Professional Engineer"? LOL! Below are the opinions of peer reviewed studies from authors with credentials in climate and earth science disciplines.

    For the purpose of this list, a "scientist" is defined as an individual who has published at least one peer-reviewed research article in the broad field of natural sciences, although not necessarily in a field relevant to climatology.

    Not all of the signatories are members of think tanks funded by oil companies. Some of the signatories skip the pretense of think tanks altogether and are instead executives and former executives of oil and gas companies.

    The misinformation campaign itself, the denial group behind the letter, is run by a former Shell Oil Company executive.

    "The results underline the fact that solar energy is now becoming cost-competitive with conventional forms of energy in markets around the world. A recent study covering 344 cities in China, published in Nature, found that in all cases unsubsidized solar PV was cheaper than electricity supplied through the grid."

    besides which an awful lot of them are retired profs. Not hard to get a doddering old fool to sign on to anything if it makes them feel relevant again. Surprised Linus Pauling isn't on the list.

    I was referring to his support for megadose vitamin C. People took him seriously because he was a Nobel Laureate--in an unrelated field.

    One could argue that the belief that just because one was successful in a micro-environment, that automatically translates into being able to know everything in the macro-environment, and insist that other people must listen and obey, has lead us to where we are today.

    Not that it would do any good, mind you.

    "The big lie we’re told about climate change is that it’s our own fault"


    The dominant narrative around climate change tells us that it’s our fault. We left the lights on too long, didn’t close the refrigerator door, and didn’t recycle our paper. I’m here to tell you that is bullshit. If the light switch was connected to clean energy, who the hell cares if you left it on? The problem is not so much the consumption — it’s the supply. And your scrap paper did not hasten the end of the world.
    Don’t give in to that shame. It’s not yours. The oil and gas industry is gaslighting you.

    That same IPCC report revealed that a mere 100 companies are responsible for 71 percent of global climate emissions. These people are locking you and everything you love into a tomb. You have every right to be pissed all the way off. And we have to make them hear about it.

    And humans have existed on Earth for maybe 300,000 years. I'll leave it as an exercise for you to determine what portion of this graph that represents.

    Couger's opinions are like a recent Lindsay Lohan movie: Horrible.


    She basically presented a chart showing how the earth operates in two different climate modes. One is called greenhouse Earth and the other is called icehouse Earth.

    In a greenhouse phase there is no ice on the planet, no ice sheets, no ice caps, no glaciers, no permafrost. There may be some winter precipitation but we don’t have the maintenance of glaciers. With icehouse Earth we have ice sheets and ice caps and glaciers persisting. Right now we are in icehouse because we have ice sheets even though they are melting and things are unstable we are still in an icehouse phase.

    What we’ve learned through studying these long-term processes is that CO2 is the guerrilla in the climate system. CO2 controls these large scale shifts in climate over the Earth’s history. So if there’s more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere either through the release of deep deposits or through extraction due to chemical weathering it’s these large scale changes in greenhouse gases that tend to shift the significant modes in climate. That's how we know greenhouse gases really are the largest contributor to the Earth’s climate outside the sun which is producing energy for the whole system.


    The weird thing is the people commenting in her link see the chart as proof of a climate conspiracy instead of what it is, a catastrophic scenario for humans.

    I didn't realize at first that Scoug got that chart from somewhere else. The fact he thought it was good enough to pass along here is just incredible.

    The simple fact is that the Earth--or at least a very large part of it-- is going to be uninhabitable by humans at some point in the future. We'd like that point to be thousands of years from now rather than one hundred.
