Title: Re: Another scientist jumps off the pro-AGW train - good for miners Post by: pindis on May 20, 2011, 06:09:01 PM i wouldnt exactly say that its good for miners since you've now put in light that we are happy that he did so. which im not, a human life is worth more to me that my pc being used for mining
Title: Re: Another scientist jumps off the pro-AGW train - good for miners Post by: em3rgentOrdr on May 20, 2011, 06:27:28 PM Good news for miners. Another previous pro-AGW scientist jumps off the AGW train due to decades of weather balloon data. So you can keep mining with a good conscience if criticized for producing CO2 ;-) http://opinion.financialpost.com/2011/04/07/climate-models-go-cold/ I hold a similar position: yes, global warming exists, but empirical evidence has proved that it is too small to be of concern and that it's not a run-away effect, but rather natural processes in the earth and biosphere counter act temperature increases.

in the second place, David Evans is a denialist, and has always been so. he's made a cottage-industry out of claiming to recant his 'pro-AGW views'. over and over and over again. see: http://www.realclimate.org/index.php?s=David+Evans&submit=Search&qt=&q=David+Evans+site%3Awww.realclimate.org&cx=009744842749537478185%3Ahwbuiarvsbo&client=google-coop-np&cof=GALT%3A808080%3BGL%3A1%3BDIV%3A34374A%3BVLC%3AAA8610%3BAH%3Aleft%3BBGC%3AFFFFFF%3BLBGC%3AFFFFFF%3BALC%3A66AA55%3BLC%3A66AA55%3BT%3A000000%3BGFNT%3A66A\%0D%0AA55%3BGIMP%3A66AA55%3BFORID%3A11%3B&searchdatabase=site#1119 in the third place, he is nothing even resembling a working climate scientist. and fourthly, he's wrong.

The part about jumping off a train was a metaphor.Title: Re: Another scientist jumps off the pro-AGW train - good for miners Post by: ribuck on May 20, 2011, 06:38:32 PM ...he is nothing even resembling a working climate scientist. A working scientist would have known that the raw data has been corrected to correct for weather stations in warm urban locations (for decades now).Title: Re: Another scientist jumps off the pro-AGW train - good for miners Post by: pindis on May 22, 2011, 03:25:52 PM a human life is worth more to me that my pc being used for mining Don't worry.
