Какво да предложи? Той до момента не е показал, че е в час с темата. Снощи четох, как трябва да се води дебат със скептично настроените, като Аладин. В рамките на дебата, те обикновенно повтарят едни и същи шаблонни фрази, без изобщо да си направи труда да прочете допълнителна литература.

Мненията на Аладин съвпадат 1-към-1 с шаблонните фрази. Ето някои от тях:

Stages of Denial


1. There's nothing happening


1. Inadequate Evidence


* There's no reason to think the earth is warming

* A couple of warm years is not a trend

* There are problems with the temperature records

* One Hundred Years is not Enough

* Glaciers have always grown and receded

* The warming is just Urban Heat Island effect

* The CO2 rise is measured on top of a Volcano!

* Likely, mostly, probably...even scientists aren't sure!


2. Contradictory Evidence


* It's cold today in Wagga Wagga

* Antarctic Ice is Growing

* Satellites Show Cooling

* It cooled mid-century, despite CO2 rising

* Warming Stopped in 1998

* But The Glaciers Are Not Melting

* Antarctic Sea Ice Is Increasing

* Observations Show Climate Sensitivity Is Not Very High

* Sea Level in the Arctic is Falling

* In 2007 to 2008, temperatures dropped as much as they rose the whole 20th century

* The concept of the Greenhouse effect is a violation of the second law of thermodynamics

* Global warming comes from all that heat at the Earth's core

* October 2008 saw yet another false "record breaking warming" announcement

* Some Sites Show Cooling


3. No Consensus


* Global Warming is Just a Hoax

* There is no Consensus

* Institutional pronouncements hide the real debate

* So much consensus in a science is sure sign of pressure

* Benny Peiser did a survey of the science and there is plenty of dissent

* The American Physical Society does not endorse the so-called consensus

* The summer arctic ice extent in 2008 was 9.4% higher than 2007

* Before the US Congress, Hansen called for the jailing of climate sceptics



2. We Don't Know Why It's Happening


1. Models Don't Work


* We can not trust unproven computer models

* The Models Don't Have Clouds

* If aerosols are blocking the sun, the south should warm faster

* Observations Show Climate Sensitivity Is Not Very High


2. Prediction is Impossible


* We Can't Even Predict the Weather Next Week

* Chaotic Systems are not Predictable


3. We Can't Be Sure


* Hansen Has Been Wrong Before

* We can't explain past climates, so who knows

* Likely, mostly, probably...even scientists aren't sure!

* They Predicted Cooling in the 1970's


4. Prediction is Impossible


3. Climate Change is Natural


1. It Happened Before


* It was Warmer During the Holocene Climatic Optimum

* The Medieval Warm Period was just as warm as today

* It was so warm 1000 years ago, Greenland was actually green

* Global Warming started 20,000 years ago!

* The Hockey Stick is Broken

* Grapes used to grow in Vineland


2. It's Part of a Natural Change


* This is Just a Natural Cycle

* There's Global Warming on Mars Too

* CO2 in the air comes mostly from volcanos

* The Null Hypothesis Says it's Natural

* Climate is Always Changing

* Natural Emissions Dwarf Humans'

* The CO2 Rise Is Natural

* Today's warming is just a recovery from the Little Ice Age


3. It's Not Caused By CO2


* Why don't they ever mention water vapour?

* Water vapour's Greenhouse effect overwhelms CO2

* There is no Proof that CO2 is Causing Global Warming

* There's Global Warming on Mars Too

* CO2 Lags Not Leads

* It cooled mid-century, despite CO2 rising

* Geological History Does not Support CO2's Importance

* Historically CO2 Never Causes Temperature Change

* It's the Sun, Stupid

* Global warming comes from all that heat at the Earth's core



4. Climate Change is Not Bad


1. The Effects are Good


* A warmer world will be better


2. The Effects are Minor

3. Change is Normal


5. Climate Change Can't be Stopped


* Global warming comes from all that heat at the Earth's core



1. Too Late


* Kyoto is Ineffective


2. It's Someone Else's Problem


* Why Should the US Join Kyoto?

* The US Is a Net CO2 Sink


3. Economically Infeasible


* Action on Global Warming is Suicide


Scientific Topics


1. Temperature
