I would suggest not reading outdated Wikipedia links and jumping to any wingnut conclusions.
NOTE TO EVERYONE... first 2001 was outdated.... NOW 2006 is outdated. Pretty soon the latest IPCC report issued in 2007 will also be 'outdated' according to the resident moron's standards.
Hardly anyone, even people with science degrees, have ever heard of “The Univesity of Delaware Climatic Research Unit”. Here’s a tip. Any professor can set up a website and call it a “Research Institute”. Remember when you tried to give me link to the “Oregon Research Institute”, and it turned out that the “Oregon Institute” was located on a rural farm in Oregon, and run by a crackpot and his son who are more known for selling homeschooling materials than anything else? Would you please stop wasting my time by tossing crap out in the hopes it will fly under the radar? You don’t know what you’re talking about man, this is total flailing.
ROFLMAO... so NOW our resident expert on what everyone 'has heard of' is trying to dismiss a report by proclaiming that 'no one, even people with Science degrees have heard of.... blah blah blah'
This is the type of crackpot bullshit we all get to deal with from the brain dead fear mongering lemmings. When in doubt, either pretend something is 'right wing' or just say 'nobody ever heard of that guy'. THIS is why Cypress continues to proclaim there is no evidence that disputes AGW. Because he simply ignores anything and makes feeble childish unsubstantiated attacks on anyone who dares challenge what his masters told him to say.
According to the University of Delawares climate center website, the “skeptic” scientist in your Wikipedia article isn’t even at that “center” anymore.
David Russell Legates is the Delaware State Climatologist, an Associate Professor of Geography[1] and Ocean Science and Engineering[2] at the University of Delaware, and former director of the Center for Climatic Research at the same university.
So yes, he has since left the Center... but that does not change his credentials ONE BIT. NO matter how many people you proclaim haven't heard of Delaware.
Their website has three Delaware scientists, none of whom have posted any peer reviewed science, or anything else for that matter that I could find, on their webpage that debunks the current state of climate science, or offers plausible alternative theories. I surveyed the literature you skeptic dude has published, and in recent years he appears to be known for writing opinion articles, and writing non-peer reviewed stuff for rightwing think tanks.
Which has NOTHING to do with the FACT that HE DID issue a research paper on the topic. The same paper you CONTINUE to ignore because you say...'not enough people have heard of him'
Cheers, for bringing up Delaware. Thanks man. It allows me, once again, to demonstrate how pervasive, how robust, and how nearly universal the consensus is on climate change.
No... it allows you to demonstrate what a complete and total hack and moron you are. You have not done a single thing to address his paper. You simply try to belittle where he worked. Which is pathetic.
also, this is the official position of the State of Delaware, in conjunction with local and national climate experts.
LMAO.... exactly... the state GOVERNMENT takes a position. Now tell me... what are the credentials of the governor who took that position Cypress? Her fucking opinion and 'state position' is based on the same fear mongering bullshit that you provide. When someone speaks against it... the state trys to silence that person because... his position and USE OF HIS TITLE.... might 'confuse' people.

How very familiar. Someone provides evidence that disputes what politicians WANT people to believe and well by golly... lets just try to minimize that person rather than address what he/she is providing.
Now, with further regard to your claims that the National Science Academies of the World are not reputable and prestigious sources of information on Climate:
THAT is NOT what I stated Cypress. That is simply your feeble attempt to create a straw man... AGAIN.
I stated that YOUR criteria is that NO scientists or GROUPS should be taken seriously on the topic of climate change if THEY do not work in that specific field.
THAT is YOUR CRITERIA Cypress.
I then went on to point out how many countries NAS.... THAT YOU TOUTED as 'signing off on AGW as scientific fact'.... DO NOT HAVE A SINGLE SCIENTIST working for THEIR COUNTRY'S NAS.
But rather than address it, you would rather pretend that I stated their are no scientists at ANY NAS with credibility.... which is a blatantly false assertion on your part. So you fail yet again.
I did a quick check of the New Zealand National Academy of Science – known there as the New Zealand Royal Society.
AGAIN with a straw man.... I addressed the NAS YOU put forth....
The National Academy of Sciences, Japan - NONE
The National Academy of Sciences, China - NONE
The National Academy of Sciences, Italy - NONE
The National Academy of Sciences, France - NONE
The National Academy of Sciences, Mexico - NONE
The National Academy of Sciences, Brazil - NONE
The National Academy of Sciences, Russia - NONE
And rather than address them... you go off on some tantrum regarding New Zealand ????? Again moron... I am fully aware that there are other countries who have scientists working on global warming. That was not the point of criticism you idiot.
That said... I know you already knew the above and are thus yet again desperately trying to avoid any discussion of your blatant hypocrisy.
Just like the US National Academy of Sciences, the NZ Royal Society commissions their own Panel of Nationally Recognized and Presitgeious New Zealand Climate Experts, and collectively, the Royal Society and their panel of climate experts came to the same conclusion the US Academy did: it is highly likely that humans are mostly responsible for warming of the last half century.
Here is a factoid for you Cypress. Saying 'it is highly likely that man is mostly responsible' is a load of CRAP. THEY COULD HARDLY HAVE BEEN MORE VAGUE.
'highly likely'.... so what there is a 80 or 90 percent chance? Or do THEY mean 70% is high?
'mostly responsible'.... so does that mean man is 51% responsible or 75%?
You see the problem with idiocy like that Cypress? Of course you don't... your masters have trained you well.
I stopped researching after those two.
Again.... translated... 'I didn't look at any of the ones you mentioned and instead again touted others who might actually do research, I hope this will distract most people from the fact that I am once again acting like a complete moron and creating one straw man after another in a vain attempt to appear smart.'
'Your claims that the National Science Academies of the World are not reputable sources[/quote]
Which again is NOT what I claimed. I said some country's NAS, BY YOUR STANDARDS, should not be commenting on AGW.
while you throw out Wikipedia links, rightwing blog links, and links to some outdated and laughable skeptic scientist in Delaware is preposterous. You can’t possibly ask me to waste anymore time on this. You’re obviously emotionally invested in science denial, and this stuff is so easy to debunk, it’s not even fun anymore. You were wrong about Climate Gate, you were wrong that liberal scientists are lying and fudging data. You’ll just have to deal with that somehow.
HERE we go again folks... more of the resident stalkers idiocy. Tell us Cypress... why is it that Legates is 'laughable' to you? Simply because he doesn't agree with your masters position? The only thing laughable is your pathetic attempts to label all critics as 'outdated/right wing/works for a University that I say no one has heard of'.
I have not denied Science you moron. I have stated quite clearly that the SCIENCE... the REAL SCIENCE is not done on this issue. THE VERY SAME THING THAT JONES, THE HEAD OF EAST ANGLIA CLIMATE RESEARCH SAYS.
So who should we believe Cypress? The Head of East Anlgia Climate Research or you... an internet message board poster who has consumed so much kool aid that he refuses to listen to even those he touts as UNIMPEACHABLE?
Tell us Cypress.... WHO should we believe? YOU or Jones?
Hopefully that's crystal clear to you. The National Academy, and it's Panels of Experts, are used interchangeably by me and every other intelligent person.
And when those NAS do not personally have their own panel of experts, yet are touted by you anyway.... well, we will just chalk that up to 'because Cypress said these were ok to comment without experts'
translation... 'I am tired of getting my ass kicked all over this topic. I cannot keep coming up with new ways to feebly attempt to discredit opposing views. I have now painted myself into a corner.... I have stated that 2006 reports are 'dated' (so now I cannot quote anything prior to that without looking like an even bigger idiot) AND I have stated that ONLY SCIENTISTS with experience in the exact field of Climatology/Ecology can provide valid opinions (which just erased all of the government idiots that I rely on for talking points as valid sources).
In addition, I don't know what to do about the fact that my government masters have made bold proclamations such as 'it is scientific fact' and the 'debate is over' that I parrot all of the time. It is really hard to keep parroting that when the head of East Anglia's Climate Research says the debate is NOT over (especially given my proclamation that Jones is UNIMPEACHABLE)'
Not to worry Cypress. We understand exactly the type of person you are. You are a coward. One who enjoys stalking women to the point they leave the board. You are a coward, one who refuses to ever actually address opposing views, but rather runs around creating one straw man after another and then heroically knocking them down.
How do you live life as a coward? It must truly suck to be you. To know you are so pathetic and that death is your only escape, yet trapped by your own cowardice to do anything about it. Truly sad.
