I love it when I'm right. This is from a person that thinks (or now thought) the Earth is warming: Bjorn Lomborg

@BjornLomborg
We were told: Over past 11,000 yrs, the last 100 were abruptly warming. Today, the researchers admit this was wrong. facebook.com/bjornlomborg/p…

The whole lie is colapsing on itself, 20 years of non-warming and now the global temp is about to fall below the lowest computer model predictions.. Ahhhh, you can't hide the facts forever. :clap:

This should be obvious, but one error in one study does not overturn the entire body of evidence that indicates global warming. Assuming the article you linked is completely true, anyway, which I unfortunately don't have the credentials to judge. The fact that it's an opinion piece reposted on an anti-global-warming site does little for my confidence.

Sadly, this is too far from my field of expertise to provide any better analysis, but I'd love to see an actual climate scientist explain what's going on here.

I don't understand... let's say climate change is a hoax, what's the point of saying it's a lie? Isn't improving our industry and our lifestyle to do less damage to the environment a good thing?

Because global environment warming (change) is the new Socialism. Big money to be made by scaring the masses into passing laws that give power to our "heros" who will save the day. Al Gore ain't saving the planet. He is making money telling us how to save it by giving up comforts like heat and electricity and fuel.

I don't believe either end of the spectrum. I suspect the truth is somewhere in between, though I haven' the data to back it up. And no study is going to be found to support me, because they both want me to believe their side of the story, so screw em both.

Golden mean fallacy / argument to moderation. The existence of two opposed sides does not imply that the truth is somewhere in the middle.

Primarily computers. There are several other fields in which I know at least the basics. Climate science is not one of them.
