The Climate Change Deniers have their biggest failure, yet.

But...they'll just say "I can't hear you, lalalalalala!"

Scientists tried to redo 38 climate change-denying studies — and it didn't go very well

About 97% of scientists agree not only that climate change is real, but also that human activity, like driving a fossil fuel-burning car, is making it worse.

That agreement stems from nearly 4,000 studies that suggest humans are culpable, compared to only about 80 that say we have nothing to do with the problem.

Those numbers should leave us pretty confident that humans are indeed fueling climate change. However, you could argue there's a (really) small chance those 2% of studies actually have it right.

So, a team of seven climate scientists and meteorologists decided to give climate contrarians the benefit of the doubt, picked half of their more popular studies, and tried to redo them. (The hallmark of a good scientific paper is that it's reproducible, meaning another scientist can do the same experiment and get the same or similar results.)

What happened? Beyond being unable to replicate most of the results, the team discovered major flaws in the papers. In fact, many papers left out essential data, and some even ignored basic physics.

1. How curious that is! and what a coincidence! nt

[tblue37]

2. Another likely coincidence would be similarities in the way those scientists and their

studies were funded.

3. Yup.

(sniff sniff) Smells like...gasoline.

4. It doesn't even matter anymore

We aren't going to be able to reverse it. And there is nothing we can do to stop the economic engines causing it, or even slow it down.

China is spewing more greenhouse gases right now than the United States. Yet, all the international proposals for curbing emissions exempt China because they are considered a "developing nation." A tag that apparently they will have for a very long time.

Then you look at our lifestyles... What do you want people to change that they will accept? No one wants to reduce their consumption. No one wants to pay more taxes to develop public transport or high speed rail.
We are spread out all over the place now. We are decentralized geographically. That makes it even more difficult to develop effective transportation systems that people would use rather than their cars.

And the fact that oil prices have plunged will make it more difficult for green technologies to compete.

Nothing is going to change. It is what it is.

5. Those oil companies are like Bush/Cheney… the create their own reality

Then Fox sells it and idiots buy it
