Also higher temperatures with higher Co2 increases plant growth even more.

Lowering co2 and temperature could actually cause famine worldwide

That is rubbish. Plants need a lot more than just CO2 to survive and grow, and the impacts of climate change on plant growth could outweigh any benefit of a bit extra CO2. e.g. Think about the impacts of drought which could become more of a problem due to climate change.
Humans need water to survive, but we can still drown in the stuff.
I see a few of those website push climate change denial myths as well. One of them says the earth is cooling instead of warming (which is not true), another appears to support the discredited Oregon petition. I'd question the reliability of all of those websites.

It's a hell of a lot more complex than that. Yes, CO2 increases the levels of photosynthesis in some plants, but as mentioned, drought/flooding, a rapidly changing predation situation and changes in UV levels all have an effect. It's virtually impossible to predict how nature is going to react to climate change, given the extensive number of factors involved.

Those who believe that we can avert global warming if it happens are severely overestimating the ability of humanity to effect our environment around us and the eco-systems which are many times older than the industrial revolution.
The answer for them is also almost always the same, i.e. socialism or state control.

How would common/public ownership over the means of production stop global warming?

And yet, after seizing all that power, they still couldn't prevent the Boston Bombing from happening, so they aren't defending their own citizens with that intelligence. Simply, they are seeing how far they can push the American psyche in surrendering their freedom. It seems like they have grown complacent.
Global warming is the next phase after continual warring in the Middle East. What's worse, the global warming hoax is a wealth transfer from the plebs to the rich. I don't hate wealthy people, so this isn't an anti-wealth sentiment, but a false economy and we're all getting screwed for its existence.

The claim that global warming is somehow a "hoax" is nothing but a totally ******ed conspiracy theory. Global warming is supported by many lines of evidence involving thousands of scientists from many different research institutions in many different countries. For all that to be a hoax is simply impossible. It would be impossible to organise it even within just one country, let alone the whole world.
It's one thing to say you are skeptical of climate change. But saying it is a "hoax" crosses a line from genuine scientific skepticism well into the territory of deluded conspiracy theorists.
If you're going to claim that global warming is a hoax for wealth transfer, you're going to have to provide some evidence because so far you've provided nothing.

Now, the "hoax" part is well proven by now, that the oceans are NOT acidifying, the globe has NOT been warming as much as the IPCC or Al Gore's documentary claimed. Climategate showed the top climate scientists informing the IPCC were colluding and pulling data tricks, mixing two forms of temperature gauging for a historical timeline of temp. increase. Then you've got this:

Here's the problem. If we can finally agree that the climate naturally changes over time and there is no natural balanced state for it to be in, we have to concede that this moral crusade of "over-warming" is stupid and a power-grab by governments and certain individuals involved in the green industry. The other problem with this is that we were lied to.

We're concerned about anthropogenic climate change, or change that is caused by humans. For example, we know from the Mauna Loa CO2 record that CO2 ppm in the atmosphere has increased rapidly in the past 50 years, indeed it is now the highest it has been in last few million years.
As a result, air, and the oft ignored sea, temperatures are increasing.
In short, we're not trying to affect 'natural' climate changes, but rather reverse the affects we are having on the the climate.

It's not a conspiracy, it's just happening. You are going to have to stop looking at things in terms of handshakes in a shady room= conspiracy. Look at what benefits governments, giving them more power; look at who funds environmental quangos and environmental scientists. Follow the money. Follow the power.

As a separate point, renewable energy generation in the UK could increase energy security twofold. Not only would it reduce the reliance on fuel from Russia and the continent, but it would also insure us against running out, and inevitable price increases.

"Climategate" is another example of low hanging fruit that can be easily dismissed. Mike's nature trick involved using recorded values to to augment a proxy data model. See here.

The Telegraph article does not prove anything. Temperature data has not been messed with in any serious way, it gets adjusted all the time if, for example, weather stations have to be moved.
http://www.theguardian.com/environme...ile-rome-burns
Breitbart is not a reliable source for information on climate change (or anything, really). They're the Daily Mail on steroids for factual inaccuracy and sensationalism.
Climategate was a complete non-scandal. All the scientists were cleared of wrongdoing by several investigations. All that happened was a bunch of climate deniers hacked the emails and then selectively quoted bits of them to make it look like there was a scandal when there wasn't. The actions of the climate change deniers was the real scandal there.
http://www.skepticalscience.com/Mike...he-decline.htm
There is no evidence to support the theory that climate change is in any way a "hoax", and it remains a baseless conspiracy theory. What you wrongly accuse climate change proponents of has been well documented on the denier side, where fossil fuel interests provide large sums of money to lobby organisations to manufacture dissent on the science.

I'll attack this point first because it really is the low hanging fruit. I was going to go through some of the credentials myself, but it's already been done here. It's a bit of a joke really, what's the relevance of asking what a bunch of (predominately) engineers think about climate change? Why not ask the people who are, I don't know, climate scientists?
![Image]()
This is a bit, read very, one sided. Who profits from maintaining the status quo carbon economy? Fossil fuel companies. How many of the people on your list are bank rolled by them? Probably quite a few. How many of the rich have shares in BP, Exxon, etc?
As a separate point, renewable energy generation in the UK could increase energy security twofold. Not only would it reduce the reliance on fuel from Russia and the continent, but it would also insure us against running out, and inevitable price increases.
The "hoax" part is well proven among people who don't understand climate science. Academic source of no ocean acidification please? Eg., this and this disagree. Gore was broadly correct, see.
"Climategate" is another example of low hanging fruit that can be easily dismissed. Mike's nature trick involved using recorded values to to augment a proxy data model. See here.
If we're just posting links I can again, very easily, rebut that with: https://theconversation.com/why-scie...-can-too-36825
If you're proposing such a conclusion, without much in the way of academic support aside from petitions and blogs, can I ask your credentials related to science and preferably climate science?

Hilarious. You put all the power in the hands of the Climate Scientists and anyone else is either misinformed or not informed enough to pass judgement because they are not priests themselves. I mean Climate Scientists, sorry! Slip of the tongue. They are the only ones who can properly interpret the texts. The data, I mean. This is most certainly not a cult.
You're right, Fowler; Breitbart is right wing and clearly evil. They sensationalise every little blip, don't they? Who cares if there was collusion and data smudging in the environmentalist movement? The science and the policies have been settled. We should just accept that this is true and let the government take our liberties, seize our property and tax us to death.
Look, the oil companies are already wealthy; the emerging green economies are the people with investment and skin in the game. It's a false economy because the current green technology isn't returning an investment for the buyers, but the government are happy to send off tax payer dosh to private firms that are not benefiting us at all.

Why you're not mad about this is beside me. The cognitive dissonance is real, I guess. While I agree we should be finding renewable sources of energy, we should do it cost-effectively for the CUSTOMER, not the planet. Using environmental health as an excuse to raise taxes is bizarre.

How in god's name does accepting the man made climate change theory and then tackling it mean "taking our liberties, seize our property"? Your tin foil hat is showing yet again.
I trust climate scientists far more than I do conspiracy theorists.
And if you're seriously suggesting climate change is a religion, you're fundamentally misunderstanding at least one of those things.

I don't mean to be rude, but can I again ask if you have any background in climate studies, or have researched beyond blogs (eg academic papers).
