Is global warming fake?

What a wonderfully un-witty retort.
You wouldn't say that if you've been to South Dakota during baby-fighting season...it's brutal. 5 degrees below zero and they have babies out there in nothing but diapers and Baby Air Jordans. It'll scar you for life.
Well, I WAS going to attempt to solve the world's problems by arguing on the internet, but I figured posting about random crap was more productive.What a wonderfully un-witty retort.
Other acceptable reposnses to your quoted post would have included the word "ditto" and included the KJung-style smug smilie or just been pictures of babies with brass knuckles.

You are correct. I live on the west coast of Norway and though we usually have a lot of rain and mild winters, the past couple of years have been exceptionally mild and especially very very wet. The number of floods have increased quite a bit and we see the sun less and less. A bit depressing if you ask me.
See a lot of people are talking about natural variations of the earths climate. The case is that during the last 50 years the climate has warmed more rapidly than during other similar climate change periods spanning thousands of years. And these other periods in time have seen a slow and gradually increasing temperature variation contra todays situation.
All I see is a bunch of ignorant folk with their fingers in their ears going "la la la, can't hear you"... this "I'm alright, Jack" attitude makes me sick.
Do you have anything other than insults for those who don't agree with your position?
Typical of those who have never personally witnessed the raw strength of a 7-month old human fighter. They're mean and vicious creatures with the quickness of a cat and the speed of a mongoose.
Hmmm... Yer parents didn't spring for the extra package with you, did they? It's a shame a sense of humor doesn't come standard where yer from.
I'm actually on the fence about the percentage impact that human based activity has on what is clearly a warming trend.
However, consensus is a HUGE part of the scientific method. Another name for it is 'peer review'. It keeps the 'out in left field' ideas from becoming accepted scientific theories (and the term 'theory' is also greatly misunderstood).
Consensus is a key point of the scientific method. Another key point is the rejection and modification of a theory as new data emerge. I believe the global warming literature is undergoing that sort of scrutiny and modification at the moment. Previously, many fought against the idea that the earth was going through a warming trend. However, that's pretty much a given at this point, from my understanding of the literature. However, the 'cause' of this warming (is it 'human independent', 10% human caused, or primarily human caused through cars, cattle, deforestation, etc., etc., etc.) is still very much in the early stages of investigation.
IMO
So, you didn't even read the scientific article by the Australian scientist in the original post....
Yeah, just jump on the "American so stupid! We destroy world and everything," train, because there might be holes in your pet theory.
People have posted direct challenges to the theory in this very thread, and you just ignore them. You don't even try to refute them, just mock them. Really scientific attitude. "I must be right, you're stupid if you don't agree."
