Probably. But if you have so little Scientific knowledge, why are you so dogmatic about this issue?


oh hell sorry.. I didn't realise that you were a scientist Taverner...

you are Arn't you??  Undecided

like many others.. we may not per scientist but we are not idiots either..

what we present is factual information gathered by scientists..

if you choose not to look at the facts then YOU are the one exposed as the denialist..

you deny the facts..

you are deliberately being ignorant due to your beliefs in the climate church..

"For the last 4000-5000 years Earth has been subjected to a marked cooling, which gradually has created better conditions for the growth of glaciers and permafrost. 5000 years ago the average temperature in Svalbard was around 4 degrees warmer than today. Then one would probably have to climb 200-400m up in the mountains in order to find permafrost, and many of today’s glaciers would not have existed. The largest glaciers would have existed in a much-reduced size. Many of Svalbard’s glaciers, therefore, are less than 3000-4000 years old."

We are not scientists but we have scientific knowledge and understand scientific principles.
You clearly do not.

Actually John says he is a scientist.

That makes his claim that 2017 the hottest year without an El Nino just natural variation,when I showed it was cooler than 1999 a non l Nino year, a bit strange. But perhaps he wasn't following closely.

I haven't been following glaciers very closely.

It's interesting that in this video the author debunks
the idea that the there is now less ice in the:
North Pole, the South Pole & in Greenland.
He's got graphs to prove it.

Just because a glacier has melted doesn't mean there is less overall ice.

Wasn't there some evidence recently of a part of the South Pole meting but
is was caused by volcanic activity?

What is your point of contention?

The vast majority of the worlds glaciers have retreated significantly in the past 100 years which is irrefutable evidence that the Earth is warming

Fair enough Barnacle - you could be right.

And I don't use local weather reports and dodgy youtube videos like you have with your little ice age thread for the past 2 years

So vast majority, not all.
Not warmed enough.

Is it solely AGW?

(1) it's mechanic's thread.

(2) David Dubyne has sometimes had up to 20 links supporting
the information in his videos. He's doing a lot more research than you.
I don't support everything that David says but I respect the fact that he does a lot of research for each video.
We need to start a global warming thread -
present the evidence with videos & links and scientific papers.
Do you want to do it?
Are you prepared to put the work in like David has?
