We are not cold "all around the world". Some parts of the Northern Hemisphere are getting a colder than normal winter, others are getting a warmer than normal winter. This is usually true to some extent every year. The global average temperature is relatively very high right now...

Is there a strong correlation?

You're only labeled a denier if you deny certain proven facts. If you have an intelligent argument against AGW that does not deny proven facts, I'd love to talk about it.

Both Kyoto and Copenhagen are part of the UNFCCC--an international treaty signed in 1992 at the 'Earth Summit' in Rio de Janeiro. The UNFCCC itself had no legally binding emissions reductions, but required that all member nations (virtually every nation on earth) meet every year to discuss...

It hasn't. They mean different things. Global warming causes the climate to change, meaning it will have different rain patterns, wind patterns, ocean currents, etc. http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/fq/science.html#q1 The Intergovernmental Panel on *Climate Change* was formed in 1988. If you...

Who knows. Maybe because it had the same director as Day After Tomorrow?

It's not bad. There are some points that could be nitpicked but as it is it should serve fine for a school assignment.

Geoengineering schemes may end up being necessary, but I don't understand what pumping desalinated water into deserts is supposed to accomplish.

Evangelicals base their beliefs on blind faith not reason. Therefore they cannot be reasoned with using logic. And jim I don't think he was implying that all AGW skeptics are like creationists or vehement pro lifers. Just that if one happens to fall in that specific group of people known as...

If by a while back you mean 1988, which was when the IPCC was formed (never known as the IPGW), then perhaps. http://www.ipccfacts.org/history.html Climate change does not mean that it may cool. Find me a single example of a scientist who has ever said that "climate change" means "it may warm...

Don't forget smaller bikinis.

Your opinion is pretty good, and is more or less consistent with that of most scientists. You understand the difference between global warming and climate change, and that it is climate change which is the real cause for concern. That already puts you ahead of about 90% of the world's...

A recent blog entry by Spencer rants about how AGW proponents are, in his words, "natural climate change deniers", arguing that the climate always changes, sometimes by very large amounts. Yet he himself is a strong proponent of low climate sensitivity and strong negative feedbacks, and...

Yes, because the question of what specifically will happen and when couldn't possibly be of any importance. It's not like 'their' is any debate going on as to what specific emissions targets should be set or anything...

Methane is a greenhouse gas that is about 100 times more powerful than CO2. This is significant.

Cap and trade works with the free market to reduce emissions. It is much better for the economy than a mandatory emissions reduction law. It's not perfect, but can you think of a better way to reduce emissions?

I could quote a recent question, but this claim is common enough that I don't think I need to. I've asked this before and didn't get an answer so I thought I'd try again. Can anyone show me a credible source for the claim that "they" recently changed the name from 'global warming' to 'climate...

When An Inconvenient Truth came out, I can remember not having the slightest interest in seeing it. A movie by a person who I viewed to be little more than a failed politician just didn't strike me as particularly scientific. But as the media came out with a lot of AGW stories in response to...
