[…] Climate Science Denial. These notes are mainly about the science and not the denialism part (unlike my last post, which addressed the central theme of the course, denialism, […]

In reply to Arch. "... many reasons to be skeptical of the AGW doom is that warmists feel like they need to diagnose the mentality of anyone who disagrees with them. I've no idea what you mean by "warmest," but if you mean skeptics who try to educate deniers, then you are wrong: denialism is not a mental illness--- it's abnormal behavior, which is not the same thing. Denying the fact that human-caused climate change is a serious threat to life on Earth is not a mental illness, and no skeptic said it is.

Oh, and censoring opposing views doesn’t make you look like your sure of yourselves either!!

Now excuse me, I need to go cash my check from the big oil corporations. ; )

Another of the many, many reasons to be skeptical of the AGW doom is that warmists feel like they need to diagnose the mentality of anyone who disagrees with them.

And, once again, because the author seems to have forgotten: nobody really ‘denies’ that the earth is getting a little warmer. The questions of how much warming is caused by fossil fuels, how dangerous it is, or why, exactly we need to give the political class more power to fix it.

Earthling transfers its AGW denial from the topix/global warming website. Better known as dirtling or “eart hling(alien has no affinity to Earth)”, “sick silly steenkin'(its own word) toxic topix AGW denier liar whiner dirtling” has racist remarks, as well as a long line of AGW denial, to send out, also.

Earthling, why bother with that nonsense? Either you assume everyone is as ignorant as you’re pretending to be, or you’ve got nothing better to do than troll these comments. Studying denial would be a better use of your time.

In reply to Earthling. "No one denies climate science or climate change, they both exist." Yeah, damn right! Since people die all the time, it is silly to try and prevent epidemics of cholera, typhoid, influenza, and poliomyelitis.

No one denies climate science or climate change, they both exist.
Earth has warmed up since the last ice age an the LIA, thankfully.
Many challenge the numbers touted by climate catastrophist crusaders.
There must be better things to do than studying climate science denial, or denial in any form.

“Antarctic sea ice:
…Fresh meltwaters easier to freeze.”
The fresh waters form a low density cap, which prevents the warmer, but saltier waters below the surface from convecting and supplying heat to the surface. This looks like a kind of feedback mechanism, this warm subsurface water isn’t cooled so much on its way to the underside of the iceshelves, enhancing the melting of the bottom of the iceshelves, leading to more surface fresh water. So not only does the physics accelerate the melting of the glacial ice, it provides an obvious cherry to pick.
