0.05°C increase is not statistically significant, they might as well say zero global warming since 1997.The linear trend from August 1997 (in the middle of an exceptionally strong El Nino) to August 2012 (coming at the tail end of a double-dip La Nina) is about 0.03°C/decade, amounting to a temperature increase of 0.05°C over that period, but equally we could calculate the linear trend from 1999, during the subsequent La Nina, and show a more substantial warming

post 1 draws attention to itself;why bother?Junk

No way, environmentalists would never do that. They are good, honest people who only care about the environment:off with the heads of the catastrophists. May they stop churning out faulty bullshit science with only one aim in mind; lining their pockets with tons of government grant $$$$$'s to perpetuate their myths, so they can get yet more government grants
and in their place hoist up those willing to accept envelopes of cash from those who remove fossil fuels from the ground in exchange for promoting dubious theories and pretending to understand science.off with the heads of the catastrophists.

That supports what whitewaterguy said in post #7.Seriously, 94% of the people who actually work in the field of climatology support the work of the IPCC.
He also said the scientist were doing it for the money. We've been over fraudulent claim once before and blew it out of the water. WWG has been caught under too many sweepers or hydrolics too long and it has cause him some difficulty.That supports what whitewaterguy said in post #7.
Actually it was in the last lengthy thread, look it up.In your dreams.
Thanks. Actually, I was the one who started that thread.Actually it was in the last lengthy thread, look it up.

So the once termed Guru of climate change, who now says it's a hoax, making him one of the 6% who don't believed in it, should be taken serious in his opinion on research funding? Riight!Thanks. Actually, I was the one who started that thread.
And the person in my original post -- environmental guru James Lovelock -- said that research money clearly is an influence.

I guess James Lovelock is silly to think that he knows as much about environmental issues as Blackrock13.So the once termed Guru of climate change, who now says it's a hoax, making him one of the 6% who don't believed in it, should be taken serious in his opinion on research funding? Riight!
Never made that claim. Just used his own words and opinions to point out facts.I guess James Lovelock is silly to think that he knows as much about environmental issues as Blackrock13.
I see. Whatever you think of Lovelock, the fact still remains that your assertion that the influence-of-money argument has been blown out of the water is clearly wrong.Never made that claim. Just used his own words and opinions to point out facts.
I've not ever said it wasn't a factor, but it isn't not a major factor as you want us to believe.I see. Whatever you think of Lovelock, the fact still remains that your assertion that the influence-of-money argument has been blown out of the water is clearly wrong.
If you don't want to believe that huge research dollars are a factor in shaping opinions, that's your right. But it is legitimate for people to disagree with you.
