Bemærkelsesværdige citater.....

Danmark lægger 100 millioner kroner i puljen, hvis en international grøn klimafond bliver en realitet ved de igangværende klimaforhandlinger i Durban i Sydafrika.

Det fortæller klima- og energiminister Martin Lidegaard (R), der fra talerstolen ved FN's klimakonference, COP17, onsdag har forpligtet det store pengebeløb fra dansk side over for de andre lande.

Dermed er Danmark sammen med Tyskland det første land i verden, der står frem med konkrete forpligtigelser med hensyn til den grønne klimafond, som er et af de få håndgribelige resultater fra klimatopmødet i København.

Måske de penge var bedre at anvende i DK

Danmark og Tyskland klar med klimapenge

Måske de penge var bedre at anvende i DK - men pyt om statens underskud i 2011 er på 85, 95 milliarder eller mere - vi kræver bare nogle flere penge op i skatter og afgifter i 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 ...... ja fortsæt selv årstalsrækken, for den ender aldrig, når lille Danmark vil vise sig overfor resten af kloden lande.

Mann is really a pirate, not some space ace–he takes people's money for his "efforts" but hides his "jewels" where only he can find them. At the same time, he boasts he's a know-it-all "climate scientist". Time for the his "paste" to be exposed for what it really is.

Tilsvarende kan man sige om klimaforskerne, at de mangler totalt overblik, når de argumenterer for, at der skal bruges ufatteligt mange penge på et mere eller mindre liggyldigt problem som CO2-udledningen.

Som jeg har skrevet tidligere, så er problematikken omkring globalopvarmning og/eller klimaforandringer kun er et lille problem, set i forhold til rigtigt mange andre globale problemer. Tænk blot på problemerne med sult, fattigdom, underernæring, befolkningstilvækst, krig, sygdom med mere.

The religious quality of climate denialism

[Denialists] are uniformly emotional as they give me one of several common denialist arguments: the medieval warming period, for example, in which they claim that it was so warm 1,000 years ago that Greenland was green.....

Or they argue that increased solar radiation is causing the warming. This too is false. Satellite measurements taken since the 1970s show that solar radiation has actually slightly declined since then.

As one argument is debunked they move on to any of several other bits of disinformation that have been neatly packaged out of context to fool otherwise smart people....

I often ask these emotional deniers "how many papers would it take to convince you that the scientific consensus is right?" The answer -- which hangs in their silence for all to see -- is that nothing will convince them because their contrarianism isn't driven by data -- it's driven by belief.

The main lesson I took away from the conference was this: there is no consistent contrarian science, and there is no defining contrarian ideology or motivation. Some are sincere. Others are angry at their lack of funding. Some appear to be envious of the IPCC scientists' success, and others have found a niche that gets them attention they would not otherwise get. Only a few appear to be motivated by politics. No single label applies to them, and I found myself referring to them as "contrarians/skeptics/deniers/enablers/provocateurs/publicity-seekers".

The one common thread I found among them was the fervent belief that "Climategate" was a conspiracy and that the IPCC is rigged. This faith-based belief seems to be unshakable, and is the antithesis of true skepticism. Those I met were uniformly cynical about the honesty and motivations of mainstream scientists. If I were forced to use a single label, I would be inclined to call them "science cynics".

Alamisten Lindegaard er godt igang igen...

- nu må du huske at udvise passende respekt for vor ex-kolumnist: Han hedder altså Lidegaard!

Joel,

.. You are right re Lindzen. ..(he is a very clever person with a top reputation outside of the global warming area) he gets higher priority. Just as an
example, I've been involved in some published criticisms of work
by Scafetta and West -- one example of the idea that the Sun is
the dominant forcing, and this is only one of the skeptics ideas.

[Bjørn Lomborg] sagde: "Jeg vil meget gerne vise dig, hvorfor Copenhagen Consensus er en god idé".
[Helle Thorning] så på mig og sagde: "Det er sikkert rigtigt, Bjørn, men jeg får bare så meget mere ud af at kritisere dig,"

"I for one never bought the hoax..."

Gingrich, speaking before Santorum at the Colorado Energy Summit, said he regretted a television commercial he shot with Democrat Nancy Pelosi that addressed climate change. He called it "the dumbest single thing I've done in five or six years. ... It was stupid."

Gingrich said he would abolish the EPA and replace it with something he calls the Environmental Solutions Agency.

[Climate change] is an absolute travesty of scientific research

Jeg læste for et par år siden, at nogle russiske forskere havde fundet ud af, at vi faktisk var på vej mod en lille istid, og at deres opfattelse var, at det ville modvirke de klimaforandringer med varmere vejr, som vi har set de sidste mange år, men jeg kan desværre ikke huske, hvor jeg læste det.
