      The CPAC product is subprime rhetoric.

      "Marc Morano, former Communications Director for the Senate Environment & Public Works Committee and senior aide, speechwriter, and climate researcher for Senator James Inhofe (R-OK)"

      Anyone surprised that Moran is a denier, raise your hands.

      I think this puts an end to the debate about "global warming".

        An editorial full of lies puts an end to the debate? I guess if you're that easily fooled, it might.

        (I'll just post the response I posted on your other posting of this nonsense.)

        Nah, but keep telling yourself that, BJ fan.

        Oh, and next time, if you are going to cite something that "puts an end' to ANYTHING, you might a) get a less biased source and b) get a more reliable source. After all, IBD is the source who claimed that if Stephen Hawking had depended upon National Health Services in the UK, he wouldn't be alive today. Sephen Hawking, a English citizen, has received ALL of his care from the British National Health Services.

        Try again and with better sources, please.

        In other words:

        I've weighed decades of scientific research and data against this Gore-bashing editorial in a pro-corporate publication.

        Verdict: I win.

        I'm not sure that it puts an end to the debate. If you look at some of the projects he has grad students working on (here is one example I'm also not convinced that this is the same guy since he has a PhD and in most articles about him (including yours) they call him Mr. and not Dr. or Prof. Many of his papers he does talk about global climate change, but pushes more for the inclusion of historic data (from ice cores and other such proxies) instead of just the in situ data from the last 200 years or so. In fact from one of their papers from last year states
        Our results imply
        that even stabilization at today’s CO2 levels may cause sealevel
        rise over several millennia that by far exceeds existing
        long-term projections3.


        You might also want to take a look at his bio on the university website.

        Mark Siddall is interested in the use of past climate data to asses the risks associated with future climate change and particularly sea level rise. The past is a benchmark to the future in terms of assessing the significance of human-induced climate change against a background of natural variability and also as a source of natural analogues for human-induced change. The past indicates the extent of sea level change that we might expect in the future and the thresholds which might take us into new regimes of more rapid sea-level rise.

      This speech has literally been exposed as monotonously repeating the same talking point over and over and over again without ever providing anything to back up his retarded rhetoric. Yeaa like we are all just going to take his opinion for it after hundreds of thousands of man-hours in research was invested in this topic, this guy is going to come on stage and tell us its all wrong because he says so.
