If you think global warming is a myth, read a different article, this one contains facts Comments
If you still think global warming is a myth, you may want to read something else because this article contains facts. The most recent study which uses global data dating back 11,000 years confirms what most scientists already know. The planet is warming, dramatically, and it's correlated strongly with human activity. Continue Reading

This has happened before, it is a natural cycle. One only needs to talk to those living in those parts of the world to realize that all that hype about global warming due to the human activity is a money-grab. Al Gore got very rich propagating this myth - and there are others.
Here I was promised facts. What a poorly written article! As a scientist, I am disappointed. This is nothing but a regurgitation of--at best--some conclusions. Many if not most scientific studies on most subjects are found to be poorly done once one reads their methodology. This area in particular is rift with them.
Let us also note that those who write this sort of article, who make this sort of YOUTUBE video, or who hold such conferences and direct such scientific journals are and have been *just as* guilty at denying evidence or refusing to publish studies of articles that disagree with their philosophy - for it cannot be called science. Those of us in academia recognize this as a fact-of-life, but perhaps the average reader would not know of this sustained intellectual persecution.
The only encouraging thing: the video (like the article) is full of "comments" and "opinions". Let these people cite their sources ... then let us critically examine the evidence, please. Enough of these videos and articles which contain nothing except name-calling and the "green" version of conspiracy theories.
I know this: An article that presents a case to terminate discussion of a scientific question is also an article that is non-scientific.
Current physics research (I am a physicist), theoretical and experimental, is replete with the legitimate open questioning and testing of the fundamental "laws" of physics, such as questions involving the speed of light, quantum electrodynamics, the Standard Model of elementary particle theory, quantum superposition, and numerous other similar examples. Some of these "laws" date to the early 20th century, and these "laws" are still being tested and questioned.
Now comes Catholic Online with what is, in my opinion, an incoherent attempt to terminate any dissension from the prevailing anthropogenic global warming (AGW) opinion. For every item in every paragraph of this article there are valid counterpoints that can and should be presented. In physics, and in science in general, dissenting opinions, questions and unexpected data are often the opportunities for learning and progress. However, rather than an unbiased summary presentation of the science of AGW, what we read is "If you still think global warming is a myth, you may want to read something else because this article contains facts." and it goes downhill from there. Catholic Online has acted in an unscientific, non-collegial manner with this article.
As a minor question: If the Catholic Online article is correct, and AGW is a settled question, then why has the American Physical Society (APS) only recently formed a topical working group on climate change? Will Catholic Online now prepare an article criticizing APS for starting this climate change working group?
There are literally trillions of dollars of societal costs to the answering the AGW question. Ah, but Catholic Online already has the answer: Obey!
I do not need someone to tell me global warming is real. I can walk out my back door and see the climate is changing. Temperatures are warmer, winds are stronger. and storms are more violent. I see birds I have never seen before and the forest is dying because insects survive the winter. I hope we do not lose the ability to feed ourselves.
THERE IS NO GLOBAL WARMING!
BUT THERE IS GLOBAL SINNING, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE OF ABORTION!
GOD IS SIMPLY TRYING TO CALL OUR ATTENTION THAT DISOBEYING HIS LAWS WILL ULTIMATELY RESULT IN THE UNIVERSE GOING OUT OF CONTROL!
CONSIDER YOURSELVES WARNED!!!
In the last 20 years 13,950 peer-reviewed study papers on climate change and global warming have been published in reputable science journals.
Out of these 13,950 studies only 24 claim to refute AGW
Yep. 24 out of 13,950.
That doesn't prove that climate change is real of course, but it does prove that the denial industry shills and their unwitting dupes who claim there is no consensus are lying.
In fact the claim is simply laughable.

There is NO 'debate' in the scentific community and there hasn't been for decades now.
There is a deliberate policy on the part of the carbon industry to "attack the consensus". This is a simple fact that has been demonstrated by leaked documents from proffesional spin-doctors to fossil-fuel corporation CEO's and which are now in the public domain.
The denial industry doesn't have to prove any of it's junk claims - "All you have to do is spread doubt" they were instructed and that's what they - and their unwitting gullible dupes - do every day.
There is near unanimous consensus among the worlds scientists that CO2 emissions are leading to climate change. The way they have done for hundreds of millions of years.
Yes - believe it or not, the THE CLIMATE HAS ALWAYS CHANGED! Over and over again.
FACT.
In the past, every time CO2 levels have risen the climate has changed. Every single time. We have dozens of proxy records from all over the world that all independantly produce the same results. CO2 rises = the climate changes

Every other deniermyth in these posts can be and has been falsified a thousand times. I just wish I had more time to waste on the ignorant.
Now that climate change is completely obvious and visible to the naked eye, the fossil-fuel shills are becoming ever louder and more desperate with their gish-gallops of thousand-times-falsified junk 'science'.
There are so many tired and wearisome old deniermyths in these spammed posts that it is literaly impossible to refute them all (once more and yet again) without spending half an afternoon at it.
This is EXACTLY what these spammers intend of course. Just list a whole litany of totaly made up bunk and lies with no supporting evidence whatsoever and then move on to the next 'e-mail alerted' website that has the word 'climate' in the header.
Do you tink weare all that stupd that e do't recognise the same spammers posting thesame discredited nonsense over and over again?
Just for one example - the 'Hockey Stick' that all the deniers are instructed to claim is 'discredited' has been verified and vindicated by at least a dozen (so many I've literaly lot count now) new studies by different teams of experts using differentproxies in different countries who have ALL independantly producd the same 'hockey stick from all these different soures of data and evidence. The hockey stick is absolutely robust and is now a fundamental basic fact of climate science.
Paid and amatuer shills and climate science deniers who claim oherwise are either ignorant of the science and the facts or know they are simply telling flat out lies.
80% of the Arctic ice volume has melted in the last 25 years. That is also a simple, measurable, observable FACT that has just ben re-confirmed by the latest state of the art GRACE 2 satellite launched just a couple of years ago. NO amount of lies and/or wishfull thinking from the deniaist cult devotees or their carbon industry masters can hide these simple facts.
Deny and lie all you want - all educated people are on to you anyway - but bare in mind that the climate change we are seeing will affect your lifestyle just as much as it will affect educated people's lifestyle.
See you in hell.
I will be so glad when this hysteria runs it's course. I love weather and I long for the day when we quit pretending that our effort or lack of effort has anything at all to do with it. We might as well do a rain dance for all the good it does. The political spin is such a waste.
