I agree with a lot that you say here. However, there are definitely prominent scientists and pundits all over the place who are declaring this exact four word phrase "The Science is Settled!" It exasperates people on my side of the issue. Al Gore is the most famous of these examples. Here's the lazy man's evidence of this - a simple Google search:

Why don't you post something scientific? This whole thread consists of me and PalePictures posting articles and videos that that actually address the scientific issues about temperature measurement. And in response, all you do is post rhetoric saying "nah, you didn't prove anything." It is so typical of these G****l W*****g debates that the people on the G****l W*****g side rarely give any scientific arguments, but instead they try to reference "persons of authority" who claim it must be true. At the same time, the G****l W*****g believer usually has no idea about the actual science involved. Then when the G****l W*****g skeptics present data or scientific arguments, the believer just declares that "the science is settled" and ends the debate. You have not made a scientific comment on this entire thread. Anyone with common sense will see how flimsy your arguments are.

No, you're just contributing to Urban Sprawl! (hashtag-Al Gore)

Hi Bo. Where did you find that figure that says the temperature is up 0.3 degrees (assuming this is over the previous year's figure)? No matter if you were talking Fahrenheit or Centigrade, this would be Earth-shaking news that would alarm both G****l W*****g believers and Deniers as well! Are you sure you copied the figure correctly, or left out a decimal place?

You apparently did not read, or did not believe the article I linked by Christopher Booker about the fiddling with temperature data. Here is a more detailed look at the fraudulent tampering with the temperature data by NASA and the Goddard Institute of Space Studies (GISS).

I'm in!

Here is another site that gives some very clear graphics showing the formerly accepted historical temperature data from past years and how they morphed into much different graphs in later years.

The scientists at NOAA and GISS do not just report the raw temperature data and average it out. Instead, they "tweak" the data in places where they think it is inaccurate. While they try to use scientific principles to tweak their data, it is more of an art form and involves a lot of "educated guesses." With the micro temperature differences they are working with, this leaves open a huge scope of variability and opportunity for shenanigans in their final numbers. The historical temperature charts you see today are different than the ones they showed a few years ago, and these are different again from the ones shown many years ago, and so on... They are constantly revising the charts to fit their opinions, instead of the other way around. It just so happens that in pretty much all cases where the scientists have adjusted their data, they have adjusted it to show more warming recently and more cooling in the past. This is more than a huge coincidence.

Here is an article describing some of the "shenanigans" that have been uncovered. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/earth/environment/globalwarming/11395516/The-fiddling-with-temperature-data-is-the-biggest-science-scandal-ever.html

I love it! Yet another "Science" article about G****l W*****g telling us that the Earth is "setting a temperature record for the third straight year," and that "temperatures have blown past the previous record three years in a row." Nowhere in the entire article do they tell you what the actual overall temperature records are. Nowhere. You would think that this would be the single most important science information of all. But they never do that in these types of psuedo-scientific articles. All they give you are fluffy heat metaphors and some cherry picked individual spots on giant Earth where for instance, India had a single record hot day.

They never give you the overall temperature results because the increments are so microscopically small that nobody would be alarmed if they knew the t***h. An honest graph of temperature measurement would show a nearly straight line across the X axis. When you actually look up temperature differences they claim to measure for each year, you'll find that they are splitting hairs of hundredths and thousandths of a degree. We do not even have thermometers that can measure such differences. The figures are arrived at by a type of statistical c***ting that is not allowed in other scientific disciplines.

According to their own fudged data, there hasn't been any statistically significant G****l W*****g for the last 19 years, during which the majority of this G****l W*****g scare has been taking place.

This is your response after claiming that Obama hasn't had one single scandal in office???

The fact that Bush had a gun tracking program is irrelevant. Obama did not track any of the guns, or do anything meaningful at all with the program. He just gave them away to Mexican Drug Lords and left it at that. And this while proclaiming we should not let citizens have guns!? He should have been impeached for that alone.

Holder is the first sitting cabinet member to be held in contempt of Congress (for lying). 17 Democrats v**ed along with the Republicans to hold him in contempt. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/jun/28/eric-holder-contempt-historic-congress-v**e

I could be wrong about Obama being the very first President to pay a ransom, but that does not excuse it from being a scandal, especially when he lied about it and tried to cover it up.

Obama knew all about Russia buying up the Uranium Mining Company. That's why he OK'd the deal to give them the rights to 20% of U.S. uranium mines. Still a scandal.

Secret Service Agents having sex with prostitutes before the Obama Administration? Who knows? Again, this is no excuse. Still a scandal.

I have no idea what you said about the EPA.

You can't be serious.

1. Fast and Furious. Giving over 2,000 guns to Mexican Drug Lords.
2. Eric Holder lying to Congress about it to Congress. First Cabinet member in history to be held in contempt of Congress.
3. "If you like your health care plan, you can keep it".
4. Spying on journalists.
5. IRS scandal of purposely denying tax exempt status for all Conservative Groups so they could not fund or campaign for Republican Candidates.
6. B******i. Making up story out of thin air about a video inciting r**t that k**led four Americans, so Obama could keep the pretense going that Al Qaida was not a threat.
7. Hillary using non-secured E-mail server to avoid public scrutiny of her activities and Obama actively participating with her using a false name.
8. Bowe Bergdahl. Releasing five worst terrorists from Gitmo in exchange for Army deserter and t*****r.
9. Iranian ransom payment for detained Americans. First President ever to pay ransom.
10. EPA polluting the Colorado River and then trying to cover it up.
11. Veterans Hospitals waiting lists and secret death lists while executives handed in phony reports and got big bonuses.
12. Solyndra receiving half -a-Billion Dollars from Obama to immediately go bankrupt and pay out big bonuses to employees.
13. Secret Service Agents having parties with prostitutes in South America.
14. State Department giving Russia access to 20% of U.S. Uranium production.

This is getting fun. I don't know if there has been an administration with any more scandals than Obama has had.

This is really an astounding claim by Obama. I knew he was out of touch, but this just departs from any grasp on reality. He is even more self-delusional than I thought, like a little kid pretending that nothing ever happened. And I'm guessing that he's not really lying but he actually believes this. Unbelievable!

Nah, there ain't no such thing as a flying car. The next thing you'll be telling me is that sleazy bombastic millionaire Donald Trump was elected President!

You keep trying to maintain that students, retirees, homemakers and others are counted as "unemployed" by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This is nonsense. Here is the link to the Government's website showing exactly who they count for their employment figures and who they don't count.

http://www.bls.gov/cps/cps_htgm.htm#nilf

The pertinent part from that site is the four questions they ask respondents to determine if they are counted in the labor force:

Do you currently want a job, either full or part time?
What is the main reason you were not looking for work during the last 4 weeks?
Did you look for work at any time during the last 12 months?
Last week, could you have started a job if one had been offered?

This eliminates all students, homemakers, retirees, underage persons, and most Hedgehog addicts(!?)

The real reason we have so few workers participating today is because Obama managed to double the number of people on food stamps and disability. Now, one out of three people in America is getting a welfare check from the government. We are paying people not to work!

Here is the Labor Participation chart from the Bureau of Labor Statistics over the last 26 years.

I think this guy just didn't know what he was talking about!?
