For the same reason that the University of East Anglia hackers deleted what was going to be the definitive proof of global warming, that would end all questioning, and finally move it from "theory" to "principle handed down from God."

Each year is a bit different. I'm surprised you would get foggy mornings in January--I live in Southern California and I don't recall January ever being very foggy. Typically in January we either have Santa Anas (weak or strong) with warm weather and sunshine, or else storms. So far we have...

Population growth, clearly. That drives the other problems. If population and energy continue to grow, it's possible that in several hundred years we would have global warming from waste heat even without greenhouse gas problems.

Climate change is something to be debated in the scientific journals by scientists, not as a dog and pony show by a couple of failed politicians.

I think deniers will believe anything they want to believe, no matter how ridiculous. EDIT: lol, at least your name is honest.

I think with the vast majority of them a dialogue is hopeless. They have no interest in the science, and if you disagree they call you a liberal, or a leftist--even if the only thing you talk about is the science.

Some people do not believe it is happening, some people believe man is not responsible, and others just don't care. Unfortunately there are a great number of people that care only for themselves.

Why would anybody support that? Just to create a bureaucracy for the hell of it?

No, it's just weather.

No, it's just weather.

You know, no matter how many idiots ask this question it doesn't make it true. No one changed their mind, give it up.

No, it's not a religion, but scientific ignorance does seem to be gaining ground among conservatives and religious fanatics. Perhaps you should start looking at scientific sources for your information, rather than your Luddite blogs.

It's not that we're at some optimum temperature, it's that we've designed our society and agricultural infrastructure for a particular climate, and if it changes radically it will be very costly to us, not just monetarily but probably also in terms of lives. What happens if we need to move our...

This has been obvious to me for a long time. It not only helps with climate change but social problems of all kinds. It's not what we're "really about," there is vast evidence for AGW whether or not you think population control is a good thing.

I have always had an interest in weather. I was originally trained in physics and geology and worked for many years as a physicist (doing geology on the weekends). While working I took correspondence courses in meteorology, then was in an online master's program in atmospheric science, taking...

For the most part, they do. That's known as "hindcasting" and it's done with virtually all forward looking models. However, it's not completely a fair test because if a model is demonstrably wrong at hindcasting it will be corrected (one way or another) to give accurate results.

Even though they claim to be environmentally friendly, virtually of the global warming deniers that responded to you believe in essentially unlimited population growth, their reasoning being that the Earth could sustain a much higher population than it currently does. So what? It doesn't mean...

I think it's beautiful today too, but I wouldn't credit climate change, and I'm agnostic so I don't know whether to give God credit either. I found people to be particularly happy today, and my office mate was friendly and funny, so it was a good day. Summer is definitely not the greenest time...

I'm sorry, but I don't understand why you're even talking about "climate change" in your question. You could just as well be talking about ANYTHING that governments do. For better or worse, people have chosen to live with government and have given them the power to tax and regulate. That has...
