WTF! I LOVE that you are putting out the info we humans need, how about some additional info as to what we can do to help to bring about some change? Otherwise, it comes off more like a scare tactic and that would make you no different than the people you are debunking.
Perhaps you offer that here and I have missed it.

Just want to say thinks for actually putting something out there with actual science and reasoning behind it. There are many that claim anyone who is a skeptic is ignorant as if to say they are an idiot for not immediatley believeing everything they are told.

However with other nations completly ignoring the evidence I fear anything we do hear will be for naught.

What a great, and reliable web-site this is !
However, there are many Clmate Warming Denialists out there who gain traction in the public’s mind because, so they say: “There is controversy over the claims of the Climate Warming Affirmers”.
This claim is brought about by the same “wedge strategy” that the ID-fundies employ, where in fact it is the deniers who manufacture the controversy !!
Alas, even when I point this out, my opponents cite people like Richard LINDZEN, who indeed has illustrious qualifications relevant to meteorology.
I then point out LINDZEN’s atrocious record with denial of any health danger from cigarettes, and I am decried as “playing the man, not the ball.”
I agree. LINDZEN should be hung by scientific fact – not allegations.
But I find it hard to find a non-hysterical fact-based denouncement of LINDZEN.
I have been wrestling with LINDZEN’s paper titled:
, American Meteorological Society, Vol.71, No.3, March 1990.
This paper is thrown in my face time and time again, and I admit that the figures therein are very close to the IPCC figures. [1]
But there HAS to be something fundamentally wrong with LINDZEN’s paper, for him to so ferociously deny global warming.
Can anyone help, for I am not a meteorologist ? [2]
Peter SINCLAIR perhaps ? Please, please, please ?
[who always offers a convincing moderate tone to his fact based UTUBES]
PS:
Where can one purchase Peter’s UTUBES on disc ?
I deal with people who allege that “the Internet is all lies”,
and cannot bring themselves to use the web to search for facts.
Hard-copy discs MAY help me get counter-information in front of their eyes.

[…] Climate Denial Crock of the Week Good videos above. […]
Thank you Peter Sinclair! Your videos are well researched and lucid. They are very useful for those who have acknowledged anthropogenic climate change and know that it is incumbent upon them to educate others about it but lack the scientific background to interpret the science for laypeople.
In my opinion these are the best videos on the topic. You are skillful and you have done people, animals, and the planet a greed deed.
Disinformation(false information and propaganda) plagues the U.S. corporate-controlled media and it is totally unfair that the ordinary people of the U.S. are frequently lied to, manipulated, and denied access to the truth about this serious issue and others.
Every person in the U.S. is responsible for human-caused climate change because of profligate (recklessly/extravagantly wasteful) energy and resource usage and is accountable. It’s time the well-intentioned, but unfairly disinformed people of this country received not-for-profit information and took personal action along with the military, corporations, and the government.

Hi,
Thank you for this wonderful website.
I have an annoying friend who keeps sending me links to websites that claim the opposite of what you claim. Could you please look at this one and prepare a response?

[…] * The summer Arctic ice cap is likely to disappear completely in 30 to 40 years. This alarming trend is reported by the National Center for Atmospheric Research and McGill University (Canada). Ice reflects 80% of solar radiation, while the open sea absorbs 80% of the radiation, which means that an open Arctic Ocean is certain to heat up the atmosphere. […]

Great site indeed. Gives me volumes of ammo to debunk the deniers and also tells me where they are hearing their blatherings.
My question is this: Some of the videos are missing, removed by the user. Are these gone for good or will they be available later?
My boss has suggested that volcanic gases produce far more CO2 than mankind has over the past century. I strongly suspect that this is another climate denial myth. Can you set him straight?
Volcanoes produce CO2 in the form of gases and solids, mostly solids which remain bound as gas.
The amount of CO2 gas in the atmosphere has been measured since 1957 or so. Keeling curve. The steady emissions by mankind dwarf any put out by volcanoes.
The best single space to check denier stories is Skeptical Science.

April 30, 2010 ‘Hoaxer Michael Mann: I’ll Sue!’
April 30, 2010 8:51 AM Posted by Van Helsing
Michael Mann, the appallingly corrupt pseudoscientist who invented Al Gore’s infamously mendacious hockey stick graph, unsurprisingly emerged unscathed from a Penn State investigation into the lies he peddles on behalf of the global warming hoax. After all, Mann is a pro at sucking government money (i.e., OUR MONEY) into the university to finance phony research proving that only still more greedy and repressive government can save the allegedly imperiled planet. Now Mann has taken the offensive, threatening to sue people for laughing at him:
The parody video, titled “Hide the Decline,” had more than 500,000 viewers on YouTube and received national attention when Rush Limbaugh played it on his radio show. It features a cat with a guitar, a talking tree, and a dancing figure sporting the image of Professor Mann. It’s the use of his image that Mann is complaining about, arguing that the video supports “efforts to sell various products and merchandise.”
Unfortunately for Mann and his fellow hoaxers, the lawsuit threat is blowing up in their faces now that the bluff has been called:
“The guy is crazy to threaten legal action,” said Jeff Davis, the President of No Cap and Trade, a large organization that includes the group Mann is threatening to sue, Minnesotans for Global Warming. “A lawsuit would give us full discovery — and there’s a lot to look at in his work.”
At first it looked like the typical liberal intimidation tactic of screaming “I’ll sue” would silence the opposition…
When the letter first arrived, [Minnesotans for Global Warming] quickly pulled the video from You Tube and their website because they couldn’t afford to defend against a lawsuit. But, as word spread of the legal threat to the jokesters, a number of groups, including No Cap and Trade, rallied to their defense. They even backed a newer version of the video titled “Hide the Decline II” and re-posted on You Tube and the No Cap and Trade site.
Let’s watch the videos and have good laugh at Professor Mann and his unraveling lies, shall we?

I have some deniers in my own extended family. They don’t keep up on these issues. So I directed them to your site to learn. Your collaboration of research is invaluable and you present it well.

Ok, I have been wading through most of what you have presented for the last 2 years. I started off as a believer in anthropogenic warming and then I flipped to the other side. Now I am back again. What you have compiled here is no small task, I know. I just wanted to thank you for all your hard work. I am in school currently and studying biology and eventually medicine. I have been around enough of the scientific community to know when something is being carried out in a manor becoming of the ethos of science. And you work is hands down some the best I have seen.
Thanks alot

Very interesting indeed, but why not go after the doomsayers as well? They need to be exposed and outed as much as the outright deniers do.
There is definitely a middle ground, but nobody seems to want to touch it, even though it’s almost certainly the REAL truth. Why? Nobody knows………………..

I’d really appreciate your help in responding to a student who is accusing me of using my position as an instructor to
brainwash students. It’s hell week and I don’t have time to find the rebuttal to this.
Mahalo from Hawaii.
“That last bit regarding “lazy thinking” reminds me of something else you chose to spout off in class. During our previous academic week, you said that “the facts are in regarding global warming,” echoing the sentiments of Al Gore and company when they simply announce that the “debate is over.” THE major crux upon which your beloved man-made global warming theory lies is that an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide causes an increase in global temperatures. Since you cited “An Inconvenient Truth,” I know you are referring to Al Gore’s rather convincing presentation of graphs derived from ice core samples. The graphs correctly show a correlation between rises in CO2 and rises in global temperature. However, Gore has that relationship backwards. In fact, rises in CO2 FOLLOW rises in global temperature by ~800 years!”

Colin, also note the claim by the author that Hansen announced October 2008 as the warmest on record. Ask the author to provide evidence that Hansen made this announcement. Apart from references to some denier-blogs, claiming Hansen did so, he will have no evidence. GISTEMP does not make announcements on specific months.
Or note how he claims the Colorado people are “Nasa scientists”, because NASA is one of the funding providers for the study.
And he also likes to quote other falsified material on temperatures in the arctic. http://www.skepticalscience.com/news.php?n=412&p=2&t=140
