Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

What percentage of climate scientists are "actively publishing?"

"Multiple studies published in peer-reviewed scientific journals1 show that 97 percent or more of actively publishing climate scientists agree*: Climate-warming trends over the past century are extremely likely due to human activities. In addition, most of the leading scientific organizations worldwide have issued public statements endorsing this position.

So the consensus is that the earth has warmed since the Little Ice Age. That's weak sauce.

Interestingly, since January 2014, the last 2 and half years, 770 peer-reviewed scientific papers have been published in scholarly journals that call into question just how settled the “consensus” science is that says anthropogenic or CO2 forcing dominates weather and climate changes, or that non-anthropogenic factors play only a relatively minor and inconsequential role.

Instead of supporting the “consensus” science, these 770 papers support the position that there are significant limitations and uncertainties apparent in climate modeling and the predictions of future climate catastrophes. Furthermore, these scientific papers strongly suggest that natural factors (the Sun, multi-decadal ocean oscillations [AMO/PDO, ENSO], cloud and aerosol albedo variations, etc.) have both in the past and present exerted a significant influence on weather and climate, which means an anthropogenic signal may be much more difficult to detect or distinguish as an “extremely likely” cause relative to natural variation. Papers questioning the “common-knowledge” viewpoints on ocean acidification, glacier melt and advance, sea level rise, extreme weather events, past climate forcing mechanisms, the “danger” of high CO2 concentrations, etc., have also been included in this volume of 770 papers.

the much repeated “97% consensus” is indeed nothing more than a manufactured outcome.

The consensus isn't just that global warming isn't occurring; it's that the cause of this is due to human activities than can be regulated to minimize the effects.

Drastic climactic changes have occurred in prehistoric times that decimated the majority of species on the planet at that time. The difference between now and then is that we can do something about it now unless we continue to characterize it as "weak sauce" and bring up the occasional anecdotal evidence as proof.

Two people won hundreds of millions in the Powerball and MegaMillions jackpots over the weekend. That's not proof that the lotteries are a good investment (although by all means you should play them).

The trouble with what this post says is that the viewpoint he is espousing is not what most self-described skeptics are espousing. If you read to the bottom, he says that he agrees that the globe is warming, and that human activities have caused at least part of it. He disagrees with the extent of the problem, and therefore what to do about it. Is that your position, as well? Would you say that most climate change skeptics would agree that the globe is warming, and that human activities have caused at least part of it? Because that's not the vibe I get from the skeptic community.

The global temperature has risen since the end of the Little Ice Age. Humans have contributed a part of that. Also the warming has been a good thing.

The first two statements are facts. The third is an opinion. I can, and will continue to, discuss issues with people who have strong opinions, especially when they back them up with logical arguments. When I give up is when people will not accept demonstrable facts.

We probably disagree on the extent of current and future climate change. We probably also disagree on what steps, if any, should be taken to minimize the damage from it. But I think we probably are pretty close on the need to take it slowly and consider all options as we address the issue.

since the warming we are talking about runs from around 1850 there is some support for my opinion since there has never been a period of greater advancement in widespread improvement of the human condition. (including the decrease in slavery, which I think was made possible by coal)
