    Take the $100,000 Global Warming Believer Challenge!

    No! It's not a joke.

    Do you believe in the catastrophic anthropogenic global warming hypothesis? Want to help the IPCC with an embarrassing little statistical problem in their latest report? Want to win $100,000? Today James introduces you to Douglas J. Keenan's $100,000 contest to identify trend-driven time series.

    It has often been claimed that alarm about global warming is supported by observational evidence. I have argued that there is no observational evidence for global-warming alarm: rather, all claims of such evidence rely on invalid statistical analyses.
    Some people, though, have asserted that the statistical analyses are valid. Those people assert, in particular, that they can determine, via statistical analysis, whether global temperatures have been increasing more than would be reasonably expected by random natural variation. Those people do not present any counter to my argument, but they make their assertions anyway.
    In response to that, I am sponsoring a contest: the prize is $100 000. In essence, the prize will be awarded to anyone who can demonstrate, via statistical analysis, that the increase in global temperatures is probably not due to random natural variation.

    That fuckwit should provide statistical evidence he has $100,000 to begin with

    But but the world leaders are going to "save the planet"

    Climate change = more government telling us how to live our lives.

    simple question, why did the Soviets modify a air-raid shelter into a gas chamber? what was their intention?

    I was listening to radiolive at work other weekend/night???? and that bright sounding lady had Ken Ring on there being interviewed.
    He raised a good point when we are told about earths temperature rising.
    He asked so what is the earths global temperature supposed to be at any one time, what has it warmed from, what should it be????????????
    There is a lot of talk about averages but no mention actual temperastures the earth should be on a given day......

    AGW deniers have never been able to substantiate their crackpot conspiracy theories with any actual concrete evidence. (Pseudoscience, misconceptions and outright lies sure, but never anything bona fide.)

    AGW is now just political jibber jabber, after the "inconvenient truth" joke, why should I just believe what the AGW crackpots have to say?

    It's taken me over 24 hrs to lift my jaw up off the ground since I read your post. The absolute purity and seemingly infinite irony and stupidity that you encapsulated in your post is such that it exceeds (by several magnitudes) that of any post I have seen in close to 20 years of internet exchanges with literally thousands of people ranging the full spectrum of professions and handicaps. You sir, are to be congratulated.

    No doubt it would be a waste of time expecting that you would read this very simple (read as uncomplicated un-pseudscientific) explanation of the wrongness of the whole cLie-mate change charade. I say this chiefly because it is based on the very simplest of facts surrounding the issue. The understanding of which would require you not to be a screaming fuckwit, and based on your last post that would appear to be exceedingly unlikely. But here ya go.... De-bunk away.

    I can't for a moment imagine 9 billion humans pumping out carbon dioxide along with their legions of domestic animals and millions of cars and coal fired power stations for one minute would have any effect on the planet.

    It's easy to see how the significance of a minor manipulation of factual climate data and a major manipulation in its presentation is lost on the great unwashed when they are satisfied by a 77% accuracy rate.

    If you are so easily satisfied, surely you aren't going to split hairs over a mere 0.28% to 4.83% increase. Hell! I just shaved 1.7 billion off your overpopulated planet. You can breath an extra big sigh of relief without any recrimination. Say thank you and put all this climate nonsense behind you so you can concentrate on worrying about the unprecedented C02 producing burn off in Malaysia that no one is talking about.

    No one is going to win the $100,000 (not even one of the cLiemate propagating scientists) because the fear mongering (which the unwashed appear to suck up like it was coming out of a titty) is based on psuedo-scientific fraud that quite simply can't be proven to be correct (not even 90% correct).

    You would think it would be easy with all that hard data at their fingertips which they say is so convincing eh! Wonder why they haven't collected yet????? they must be busy shooting bigger fish in an even smaller barrel eh! (or perhaps they aren't so stupid as to remove the tit camouflage from their cock when they are having so much fun)

    Hey, at least not wanting to create even more greenhouse gases has given Obama an excuse to not bomb the oil production that ISIS is getting rich off.

    I bet you looked it up, I took a guess.
    And what about all those farting belching sheep and cows that we need for our 7.3 billion.

    I looked this up:1.4 billion cattle, 1.9 billion sheep

    Anyway, one day mankind will be gone much like the dinosaurs and the planet will move on.

    Water vapour constitutes Earths most significant greenhouse gas…………
    Nope. Water is just a multiplier forcing agent. CO2 does the heavy lifting

    Interestingly many “facts and figures” regarding global warming completely ignore the powerful effects of water vapour in the greenhouse system………
    Only from people who don't know what they're doing. The effects of water vapour are taken into account in most reputable models, as are the effects of most other "magical", "they never considered this", "what about all this....." "it's the sun, the moon," etc, obscure and not so obscure systems, forcings, cycles, etc,etc.
    Despite what many people seem to think, "ye cannay change the laws of Physics"
