Loudly spoken climate activists can really irritate, but temperatures ARE going up and the ozone layer IS breaking down. Maybe if activists murmured instead of confronting us, we'd get somewhere.

That's incontrovertible.
The ocean will keep on rising until the world starts cooling for the next ice age. There's fuck all we can do about it, in either direction. Maybe a very slight change to the rate, but that's all. We couldn't reverse or halt it if we tried.

where the IPCC said their models were "significantly" different from what
had been measured. In other words they know their models are wrong and
their predictions are wrong as a result.
Man's contribution to CO2 in the atmosphere is 15ppm we're told and 385ppm
is natural. To put those into a visually more obvious statement:
total CO2 in atmosphere 385ppm or 25.6 inches in a mile.

from the IPCC and couldn't get their name removed from the credits on the
reports try though they might. No mention either of the removal of
statements the scientists made from the official report.
Statements deleted included:
"None of the studies cited above has shown clear evidence that we
can attribute the observed climate change to the specific case of
increases in green house gases"
"No study to date has positively attributed all or part of the climate
change observed to anthropogenic (man made) causes."

you get original data and not data "modified" by the IPCC. They have
recently shown graphs with the medieval warm period removed. Doesn't do a
lot for your case where it is easily shown that it was warmer 1000 years
ago than it is now.
The less hysterical climate change scientists who don't think it is green
house gases but more more likely to do with solar activity are predicting
no warming for at least the next decade. We'll see who is correct.
Oh, and their graphs of solar activity and earth temperatures do match
over the 20th century and more.

4000ppm.
None of this is new, the earth has seen this and far more many times in
the past and will again long after we're gone.
Ice core data from Greenland shows it has been warmer than the current
temperature for most of the last 10,000 years.
Called Holocene Optimum.
There is no evidence that CO2 causes significant climate effects at
anything like the current levels or that it has in the past, there just
isn't. The ice core samples show CO2 rises AFTER temperature goes up not
before because the oceans cannot hold as much CO2 when warm as they can
when cold.
I agree, last post on this.
Ah, intellectual superiority, you must be right.

1. The planet Venus - that is what carbon dioxide in the atmosphere does to the heat from the Sun. Or is it all down to it simply being nearer to the Sun I suppose?
2. Even every Third World country now has its 2nd or 3rd city choked with cars (Google the place Blantyre in Malawi on the Images section and see for yourself - or are they just Madonna's hoard of child adoption vehicles?) and just about every First World city is clogged too (Cheltenham, Cirencester etc - surely yes?) - and that is just cars in a dense atmosphere essentially just 7 miles high. That industrial pollution has been increasing since about 1740 AD with the Industrial Revolution and is having no effect whatsoever?
(I say Climate Change deniers saw Michael Howard tricking the Bulgers forever and a day with the voter ultimately throwing him out simply due to John Major being his boss - and so realised it would work for them too as long as their boss was never John Major either - it certainly gave us Trump anyway)
"He has something of the night about him" - hang em and flog em Ann Widdecombe about Michael Howard.
But hey, should the Third World decide that they've had enough of being flooded by us and choose direct action against us in retaliation, at least our politicians know from Tony Blair that they can line their own pockets in the resulting war.

Well, here's an interesting little fact you can go and check...1. The planet Venus - that is what carbon dioxide in the atmosphere does to the heat from the Sun. Or is it all down to it simply being nearer to the Sun I suppose?
Meterology on Earth is done based on the temperature, winds etc at various pressure levels in the atmosphere, not altitudes. For example, you commonly get maps of conditions at the 925, 850, 700, 500, 300, 250 millibar level. 500mb level is the most common (other than the surface level), and represents approximately 18000 ft in typical Earth conditions.
Here's the interesting part: if you take the same pressure level on Earth, Venus and Mars you'll find the temperature is very nearly the same!
This is despite very different atmospheres, very different distances from the Sun etc.
Mars of course has a very thin atmosphere, with only about 6mb at a lot of the surface, and 11.5mb at Hellas Planitia (a large plain located at the bottom of a 2300 km wide impact crater). So you can only compare it to very high in the Earth's atmosphere -- something like 98000 ft to 113000 ft on Earth.
Similarly, Venus has a very dense atmosphere and Earth-like pressures occur quite high in it. The hot parts of the Venus atmosphere are at much higher pressures than occur on Earth.

oday I will teach you to spot The Sarcasm Tell. When you see the tell it means you won the argument. But it won’t feel that way to you because cognitive dissonance will cause your opponent to reinterpret the world in some bizarre new way in order to avoid the appearance of being dumb. The form of the tell is this:
1. You make a reasonable argument.
2. The other person runs out of reasonable objections (and has thus been persuaded).
3. Other person is “struck dumb” for a second. Eyes stay open. Mouth stays shut. Cognitive dissonance is setting in.
4. Other person restates your opinion as an absurd absolute and adds sarcasm.
The absurd absolute by itself is a tell, but you usually see it paired with sarcasm to hide the trick.
