    It is bad practice to call someone who lies a liar? If you read what you wrote you made slanderous accusations that are outright lies sorry if the truth hurts maybe you will learn to stop lying.

    I would try linking to my sources without linking to them but then I would be posting unsubstantiated BS like you. Maybe the version in Nature Magazine would help:

    Peer Review and Scientific Consensus (Nature Magazine: "Peer to Peer")

    (Actually, to make this clear I inadvertently put National Space center into your list - surprised you missed that)
    Sure all your mistakes are honest until you are held accountable. It is much easier for you to lie and smear and then claim it an accident, sorry if I don't buy it.

    From your very last link:-

    Space
    NASA Chief Questions Urgency of Global Warming

    Morning Edition, May 31, 2007 · NASA administrator Michael Griffin defends the space agency's programs, including plans for a permanent moon base and manned missions to Mars. He also says that while NASA studies climate change, the agency has no authorization to "take actions to affect climate change in either one way or another."

    The following are excerpts from Griffin's conversation with Steve Inskeep, edited for clarity:

    It has been mentioned that NASA is not spending as much money as it could to study climate change — global warming — from space. Are you concerned about global warming?

    I'm aware that global warming exists. I understand that the bulk of scientific evidence accumulated supports the claim that we've had about a one degree centigrade rise in temperature over the last century to within an accuracy of 20 percent. I'm also aware of recent findings that appear to have nailed down — pretty well nailed down the conclusion that much of that is manmade. Whether that is a longterm concern or not, I can't say.

    Do you have any doubt that this is a problem that mankind has to wrestle with?

    I have no doubt that … a trend of global warming exists .......

    & from a link within that link :-
    Hansen also takes issue with NASA administrator Michael Griffin's views on global warming during an interview with Madeleine Brand. Griffin told NPR's Morning Edition that he isn't sure global warming is a problem we must tackle, a view Hansen says is "remarkably uninformed."
    I seem to remember he was forced to apologise to the bulk of his senior emplyees. Oh yes, lovely wiki has it:-

    Prominent climate scientists have referred to his remarks as ignorant.[10] In particular, James Hansen, NASA's top official on climate change, said Griffin’s comments showed “arrogance and ignorance”, as millions will likely be harmed by global warming.[11]Jerry Mahlman, a scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, said that Griffin was either “totally clueless” or “a deep antiglobal warming ideologue.”[12]


    [edit] Follow up
    In a closed-door meeting on June 4, 2007 at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Griffin said:

    “Unfortunately, this is an issue which has become far more political than technical, and it would have been well for me to have stayed out of it.” “All I can really do is apologize to all you guys.... I feel badly that I caused this amount of controversy over something like this.”[13]
    You've obviously prepared for quite a long time for this spamming episode and at the moment I don't have the time to expose the bogus intentions of most of your links. I don't even have the time to trawl through all the reliable science blogs to find refutation of your links.

    I can see through the tactics of the denial industry (& I know others here can). Fortunately for us the propaganda spewed out by 'Exxon' puppets has been blown apart by reasoned science - so much so that, as I posted elsewhere, only a few crackpots in the US political system cling on to false doubts.

    Returning to the central issue of the thread, a claim that global cooling has occured recently, you have chosen to ignore the worldwide data collected by a US scientific body that is politically independent e.g world renowned, and which shows conclusively that there is still a warming trend.

    You've lost the debate. full stop.

    Whose denying the truth and trying to impose lies upon us now?

    Yes of course Hansen was outraged, one of the alarmist creators of the current hysteria. Griffin was 100% correct as scientific organizations should stay out of politics.

    He also says that while NASA studies climate change, the agency has no authorization to "take actions to affect climate change in either one way or another."

    His whole statement...

    "I have no doubt that … a trend of global warming exists. I am not sure that it is fair to say that it is a problem we must wrestle with. To assume that it is a problem is to assume that the state of Earth's climate today is the optimal climate, the best climate that we could have or ever have had and that we need to take steps to make sure that it doesn't change. First of all, I don't think it's within the power of human beings to assure that the climate does not change, as millions of years of history have shown. And second of all, I guess I would ask which human beings — where and when — are to be accorded the privilege of deciding that this particular climate that we have right here today, right now is the best climate for all other human beings. I think that's a rather arrogant position for people to take."
    and he continued, putting the hysterical Hansen in his place (oh that must of made Hansen crazy) but he was right...

    Nowhere in NASA's authorization, which of course governs what we do, is there anything at all telling us that we should take actions to affect climate change in either one way or another. We study global climate change, that is in our authorization, we think we do it rather well. I'm proud of that, but NASA is not an agency chartered to, quote, battle climate change.

    I have provided substantial evidence of a Global Cooling trend and have lost nothing.

    You have – you have lost your scientific credibility by continually spamming links to websites of dubious provenance and articles within them written in the most part by anyone except Climate Change scientists.

    You have repeated ad nausem the corrupted journalistic statement originated by.Roger Harrabin of the BBC. Read the story here:-

    Deltoid: Denialists Against Corrections

    You have completely ignored the categorical statement by the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) that I posted somewhere earlier.

    You have completely ignored the factual data expressed by the NOAA
    NCDC: Climate of 2007 - Annual Review
    a more readable summary is here:-
    2007 A Top Ten Warm Year For U.S. And Globe

    The scientific independence and respect for the integrity of the work of these organisations is not questioned by any other than a tiny number of contrarian people.

    So it’s you against the rest of the scientific world and it looks to me you've lost this debate conclusively.

    There statement makes perfect sense, when it cools it is natural when it warms it is caused by man-made CO2. I am happy the WMO cleared that one up for me.

    You've repeated again most of the links to discredited information sources about global cooling/warming. Enough of the flim-flam & spin,
    Answer this:-

    Which do you believe the WMO and NOAA statements in the earlier links indicate - GW or GC ??

    Poptech 9 points ahead so far,and he looks like increasing his lead,oops,just noticed that the clippo has brought on his sub,Besoeker,as he often does when running out of ideas and responses to Poptechs superior technique in debating and researching.

    Yes of course my "discredited" sources such as these...

    I already stated it is clear from the WMO that Cooling is caused by Nature but Warming is caused by Man-Made CO2 and Man-Made CO2 is driving climate change to Doomsday except when Nature cools it down but ignore that because the WMO says so. Yes of course the WMO could never be corrupted...
