Global Warming Evidence

So Bling! and I are having a conversation and he says to me that “a lack of evidence is not evidence.” This was in reference as to why I don’t agree with global warming theories.

A bit stunned, we got interrupted and I didn’t get to finish the conversation with him. But he does have a good point even if I think the logic is a bit flawed.

But more importantly I think it’s necessary to recognize who is responsible for the burden of proof . You don’t see me running around shouting that we are all doomed and must change our politics. If someone is going to shout that there is global warming and that we need to make radical political and sociological changes then I believe the burden of proof is on them.

Yet, the IPCC has consistently failed to meet that burden of proof. In fact, (here is some evidence) none of what they have predicted has come to fruition. Oh, wait! Maybe that’s a lack of evidence though we can prove that what they said would happen didn’t actually happen.

So here are a few other quick factoids:

The IPCC manipulated models, graphs, and evidence that were contradictory to their agenda. They also “silenced” IPCC reviewers that disagreed with their falsified findings by refusing to publish their reports. And yes, this is fact.

It has not been proven that there have been any significant increases in mean sea level as recorded by satellites, gps readings, and markings made by man. There is some evidence that the sea levels have changed, but it there has been no clear determination of whether the sea actually rose, or if the land shifted (up or down).

Co2 has been proven to have very little if any effect on temperature and certainly not enough of an effect to cause global warming on the scale that the IPCC claims. Water vapor, however, has been proven to have this effect.

There is evidence that shows that solar activity has a far greater effect on our planet than anything mankind has done.

The IPCC, NASA, and other scientist have failed to provide a consistent and precise protocol for measuring temperature across the planet and over time so as to provide a true and accurate recording of the average or mean temperature.

Even that being said, there is evidence from satellites, weather balloons, and other instruments that support that the earth is not, in fact, warming by any significant amount.

Evidence also shows that the earth has been significantly cooler and significantly warmer throughout history.

There is evidence that shows that ice shelves, landmass, and glaciers are increasing in size while others are decreasing (just like always). One might remember that it wasn’t too long ago that Greenland was green and not buried under ice and snow.

I suppose I can go on, but I don’t think I need to. Don’t forget to review this older post for more facts.

If you have read this blog for any length of time, and still fail to see how there is evidence that supports climate change, but not this impending doom then perhaps I have failed to do a good job.
