To get that margin of error down to even +- 10deg F, one would need at least 200 million thermometers...

    It is not possible to measure global temperature. Any data concerning global temperature is nothing more than random made-up numbers...

    Global Warming is nothing more than a Void Argument, since it is not defined in a non-circular and quantifiable way.

    Global Warming outright denies not only science, but logic and mathematics as well.

    If you are talking about surface temperatures using Argo buoys and measuring the sea temperature from ship intakes I agree. However the UAH and RSS satellite datasets have been around for close to four decades and provide a 24/7/365 picture of the entire Earth's troposphere. These also agree very closely with radiosonde data.

    We can't use satellites to measure an absolute temperature. Satellites measure light... The emissivity of Earth is unknown. There aren't enough thermometers available to even begin a sensible statistical analysis.

    Yup, Muslim and Global Warming are both religions. The difference comes in when Global Warming outright denies currently standing laws of science, while Muslim does not deny science.

    That makes Muslim more sensible to believe in than Global Warming, I'd argue.

    Sorry but that's just not correct, where are you getting that info from?

    What isn't correct? And could you explain why it isn't?

    Hello gfm7175,

    Quote Originally Posted by gfm7175 View Post

    Billions of years ago, before the Great Oxygenation Event, there was no oxygen on Earth. Stromatolites thrived on the CO2 atmosphere. Stromatolites used photosynthesis. It is theorized that stromatolites produced so much oxygen, they essentially destroyed their own habitat, and are now almost completely extinct as a result of it. This would suggest it is possible for living beings to exist in such great numbers that what they do affects the climate, and might even lead to their demise. That is the concern about human caused climate change.

    Quote Originally Posted by gfm7175 View Post

    The majority of science says otherwise. I believe them.

    I do not believe you. It is not logical that a minority of deniers, basically only some conservatives in the USA, knows something that essentially the rest of the world does not. On one hand, we have a few million deniers in the USA, and on the other, billions of believers in the rest of the world.

    This shouldn't even be a political issue. It wasn't until the wealthy fossil extractors began to throw big money at the propaganda machine. That was when it became a political issue. Prior to that, many conservatives believed climate change is real and human caused. My belief system is not for sale. I believe what is logical. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

    Action: 7.5 billion humans burning things daily, or having them burnt in their name.

    Reaction: Planet Earth experiences a rise in CO2 levels, and begins warming, due to the greenhouse effect. It wouldn't be the first time living beings have destroyed their own habitat.
    Personal Ignore Policy PIP: I like civil discourse. I will give you all the respect in the world if you respect me. Mouth off to me, or express overt racism, you will be PERMANENTLY Ignore Listed. Zero tolerance. No exceptions. I'll never read a word you write, even if quoted by another, nor respond to you, nor participate in your threads. ... Ignore the shallow. Cherish the thoughtful. Long Live Civil Discourse, Mutual Respect, and Good Debate! ps: Feel free to adopt my PIP. It works well.
