All I ask anyone who looks at this thread to do is look at the evidence
Your right your entitled to your opinion, I can except that you take it on faith/ gut feeling.This thread was started to put another view across on a subject that is untouchable to most. I will continue to post what the hell I like regarding vids and have no interest in arguing with you every 5 mins.
I belive what I believe and you obviously don't, no skin off my nose. Others will make their own mind up if they fancy listening to an informative vid when they have a bit of time.
I have noticed the believers don't like it when others know the facts and have relied upon a bias reporting by the media for decades to get their lies out.
I've said many times before what I belive and think the temps will go down more, so you can call me on it during the next decade and I will call you out when the temps don't keep rising and the co2 level drops, so your beliefs will come into question then, not mine!
"well heeled individuals being paid large sums to make pronouncements".Which side would they be on then? If they are sceptics,then produce the evidence.They are not putting their views across to obtain research funding/keep them in a job.And the oil and gas companies do not need them either.I assume post #744 is addressed to me, but even if not, I totally concur with the last paragraph of Dave645's post.
Banjo has completely failed to produce any evidence whatsoever that temperatures have fallen since his claimed peak of the late 1990s - almost 20 years ago. The reason he has not is because he cannot. Temperatures have not fallen despite being two thirds of the way towards the bottom of his claimed 60 years' cycle.
There is no need to wait another 10 years because the decline is not happening and temperatures are increasing. Nobody can produce any evidence to the contrary, otherwise they would have blasted the results of falling temperatures from even one weather station across the internet. That is worrying to at least one billion people on the planet.
Personally I can take in, and benefit from, a further 2ºC increase in temperatures. I would make considerable financial gains from that. Unfortunately a billion or more people would perish or be in a very precarious situation.
Considering all that Banjo has posted - tens of hours of films of people being paid a lot of money to say what they say, I am now almost completely convinced that the current rising temperatures are directly the result of humans burning fossil fuels. Given the information in the links he has posted, I find no alternative at this stage. If someone can post even one weather station's results, or one serious paper to show that these temperature increases are not happening, or that they are due to some other cause, it is not too late to persuade me otherwise.
I have resisted this decision for more than 10 years, despite the increasing evidence, but single-handedly, one man has me falling over the brink by continually pushing out mainly old films (superceded by more recent information) of well-heeled individuals being paid large sums to make pronouncements that they fail to substantiate with evidence.
It is a sad day.
There is monetary gain on both side of this argument sure scientist want funding but they are not payed to lie if they did there funding would soon go, as well as there careers, as for sceptics they to get funding how else do they fund there time going to present to government committees to try a lobby against climate change, one in the second video had had a law suit against him funded by others so he could keep up with his claims."well heeled individuals being paid large sums to make pronouncements".Which side would they be on then? If they are sceptics,then produce the evidence.They are not putting their views across to obtain research funding/keep them in a job.And the oil and gas companies do not need them either.
The oil and gas companies do not need these people to "lobby" for them.The taxes from them are what keeps the world economy going.Its not going to end suddenly.It will be driven by economics,when the dollar oil barrel price gets to a certain level,probably well above $200.Neccessity will then be the mother of invention.There is monetary gain on both side of this argument sure scientist want funding but they are not payed to lie if they did there funding would soon go, as well as there careers, as for sceptics they to get funding how else do they fund there time going to present to government committees to try a lobby against climate change, one in the second video had had a law suit against him funded by others so he could keep up with his claims.
Fossil fuels is a multi billion dollar industry in the USA on its own.
all that is under threat if co2 is proved to be causing damaging changes to the world, so of cause they pay people to fight climate change claims, it's what cigarette company's did for years trying to stave of the blame. Only after it was proven beyond doubt did they stop, that was meany years after the first link was shown but not proven. Lots of damage was done by them in there greed to protect there profits.....by fighting claims cigarettes damage your health.

How do you know they are paid large sums of money? Or have i missed something.I think temperatures may be rising but very slightly,and not as much as some people say.I dont record temps here,so have no proof.I can only talk about my little patch of Northumberland,but can remember most years from when i was a small boy,from1968 or so.Mostly the weather extremes that stick in the memory.I think it has not changed much here in the last 50 years.Obviously this may be very different world wide.CO2ppm levels are higher,they can be measured.I do not know if this leads to increased temps worldwide.I would draw your attention to where the weather stations are.The vast majority are in North America or northern Europe.Only about 8 are in Antarctica.I resent people turning climate change into a "religion",and where people are branded "deniers" much the same as religious heretics in the middle ages.I have lived through too many "scares",most of which have turned out to be nonsense,like BSE beef and hundreds of thousands people going to get CJD etc.What is your view on what is happening? Do you agree with Banjo that temperatures are falling? If so, find a weather station that shows they are falling. An easy challenge, but a most difficult task. Do you think rising CO2 levels have, or do not have, an effect on temperatures?
Almost all the links Banjo has provided are from people who are paid large sums of money to just stand up and talk. Talk about anything, they do not care, they are professional talkers. For some reason they command large sums of money merely to stand there and talk. There are others, who I daresay believe in what they are saying, the man with a similar accent to me a couple of weeks ago for instance. He just wanted to publicise himself. He appeared to have little knowledge of his subject.
Could we see the hockey stick....joking aside the perma frost melting is a possible big trigger, co2 may have got the ball rolling but the methane from the perma frost, as you say could change things even faster.
Long video, and quite dated. Lots and lots of stats, until you get to 23 min 50 seconds in, when he claims a 34% rise in agricultural productivity from 1990 to 2004, which he says must be largely due to increased CO2 boosting plant growth, as " we havn't invented any new agriculture in that time".
Later on shows three graphs of temperatures in California. Only areas to show warming he says, are the ones with population increases.
Which makes a change from saying mankind is too puny to have any effect on climate at all !
I think I`m more worried now about methane , than I was. It's more potent than CO2 with regard to warming, it's rising far faster than CO2 , and they're bound to pick on farming to be seen to be doing something. One way of really boosting the methane in the atmosphere is to heat the ocean floor, and also melt the permafrost, in northern hemisphere, but hey what are the chances?

Your right until it's fully understood, there is always room for opinion, but even opinion by scientists have to be backed by facts or it's not scientific,It's time people realised "science" does not produce "facts", it has people analysing evidence and drawing their own conclusions. You are perfectly entitled, as am I and anyone else to disagree with what has been rammed down the publics throat as fact when it isn't, it is opinion biased, as all science is, by those analysing results and their cheque signers
