If there was no net positive feedback, climate sensitivity would be around 1°C for a doubling of CO2 concentration as predicted by the Arrhenius equation. Hence positive feedbacks are needed to get the 3+ degrees required to truly scare the shit of people. There is scant scientific evidence for that, except in climate models which is not evidence at all.

    The scientology analysis would apply to you. We back the huge body of scientific evidence and the overwhelming support of almost every scientist. We are evidence based. The data is clear and unmistakable.

    The predictions have failed to come true.

    Anyone that believes in the climate hoax is stupid enough to believe professional wrestling is real.

    Hopeless, you're all the same, just parrot talking points without any level of understanding. Care to have a shot at answering post 56, somehow I know the answer already?

    Have you ever co-authored a peer reviewed scientific paper outside of the topic 'climate'? I didn't think so.
    I'm no climate scientist but the reason I'm a climate realist is because I've never seen one, not one so called peer reviewed article on climate science that would adhere to the strict requirements of any other scientific journal, not even close.

    My doctor hasn't failed like so many climate hoax predictions have.
    "What consensus does is allows those that go along with something an out when what they go along with goes south," that even defies Orwellian logic

    But medicine as a field is totally based consensus Science, if it wasn't, your docter would be a medicine man

    The question in post 56 is bogus, that is like us asking you if a squeeze play is the best option in the bottom of the ninth with no outs, losing by two runs, and the top of the order is up, you wouldn't have a clue because you have no familiarization of what we are talking about

    And you still haven't told us if you believe what your Docter tells you given that Medicine is based upon consensus science which you reject

    My doctor has done what he said. The predictions your climate scientists have made failed.

    Wow, you're not really that ignorant about medical science, are you?
    Sure , it once was when blood letting was the consensus. It's based on Scientific Method. Consensus is a political term, not a scientific one.

    One of the most popular alarmist arguments is likening the climate science consensus to medical doctors.

    Refuting this fallacy is complicated by the fact that there are two distinct problems. Miscommunication and the deliberate corruption of science. The former has persisted for over 3 decades whilst the latter first became noticeable about twenty years ago and has become more problematic ever since.

    So in answer to your dilemma here is the following:

    1. A medical doctor is a highly-qualified professional.

    Doctors must successfully complete training in medical school, spend several years in hospitals treating patients, and be licenced to even practice.

    In contrast, any Tom, Dick or Harriet can call him or herself a climate scientist and speak on behalf of climate science. Enviro-activists and certain media personalities have been abusing this freedom for decades. Look at Al Gore and Bill Nye as just two examples. Also Gavin Schmidt of NASA GISS is a mathematician yet passes himself off as a climate scientist.

    2. A medical doctor is totally accountable.

    A doctor would lose patients or be fired if his or her advice isn’t sound. A doctor can also be sued for malpractice. In a number of cases, doctors have been indicted.

    A putative climate scientist can hardly even be criticised these days. Remember how a mere investigation of the misconduct by Michael Mann caused pandemonium. Nevertheless, perceived academic immunity is widely abused by con artists and leftist operatives in universities and research institutions.

    3. Patients have direct communication with their doctor.

    “Direct” means that the patient usually speaks face-to-face with the doctor, the patient can ask the doctor questions and get answers. Many so-called climate scientists refuse to enter into discussions, as in the case of Michael Mann, who even refused to hand over his tree proxy data for his infamous Hockey Stick.

    Adopting a consensus opinion of experts when not an expert is a matter of rationality and logic, not science.
    This is no 51/49 battle of experts by the way. It's 99/1, figuratively speaking (and yes pun intended)

    You'd be a fucking idiot not to select the expert consensus over the , what do they like to be called? skeptics.

    Hilarious all Havana Poon could find today was a Blog misrepresenting a study about the anomalous cold due to the jet stream dip.
    The sentence before the one he relied upon admitted increased global temperature since 1895..... What a clown.
    His own source kicked him in the nutsack with a steel toe boot.

    Refuting analogies is a waste of time. All analogies are fallacious. They are teaching tools, not math problems. They are either apt or inapt.

    Because it is premised as much on political forecast as much as physical science. You want an RCP 8.5 world, and we want a 2.6 one.

    Well thank you for informing me. I was not even aware there was a search facility on this forum, as I am a new member.

    I have responded to your statement, how about you answer my question. "Why do they need scientific credentials when he is simply stating facts gathered which is supported on a vast majority of reputable websites?"
