Scarborough needs to learn some Science
October 17, 2007 - 21:36 ET by PopularTech
Joe Scarborough is an embarrassment. The problem with conservatives like him who don't understand science is they are afraid to be embarrassed about not knowing and will cave to repetition of lies. O'reilly is another scientific illiterate who is not capable of scientific debate thus capitulates.
Maybe Joe should do some research, he can start with:
UK Court finds 9 Inaccuracies in Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth (The New Party, UK)
The Case for Skepticism on Global Warming (Michael Crichton, M.D. Harvard)
The Great Global Warming Swindle (Video) (1hr 14min)
Al Gore Is a Greenhouse Gasbag (Robert Giegengack, Ph.D. Geology)
Economist Bjorn Lomborg: Global warming is not a priority (Video) (17min)
CO2 & temperature: ice core correlations (Luboš Motl, Ph.D. Theoretical Physicist, Harvard)
QUOTE (Luboš Motl)
"The temperatures and carbon dioxide concentrations have been correlated but
we know for sure that the temperature was the cause and the
concentration was its consequence, not the other way around. If you
look carefully at the graphs, you will see that the carbon dioxide
concentrations lag behind the temperature by 800 years."
How not to measure temperature (Anthony Watts, Meteorologist)
Book: Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years (Dennis T. Avery, S. Fred Singer, 2007)
Australian TV Exposes 'Stranded Polar Bear' Global Warming Hoax (NewsBusters)
Polar Bears Not Going Extinct (Dr. Mitchell Taylor, Polar Bear Biologist, Department of the Environment)
QUOTE (Dr. Mitchell Taylor)
"Of the 13 populations of polar bears in Canada, 11 are stable or
increasing in number. They are not going extinct, or even appear to be
affected at present."
"What If All the Ice Melts?" Myths and Realities (Wm. Robert Johnston, M.S. Physics, B.A. Astronomy)
QUOTE (Wm. Robert Johnston)
"Arctic Ocean pack ice = 0.01 % Fraction of world ice - The melting of floating
ice will not change sea level: the mass of this ice is equal to that of
the water it displaces (watch the water level in a cup of floating ice
cubes as they melt)."
QUOTE (Wm. Robert Johnston)
"Based on what we know now, in the next 100 years a rise in sea level of 0.1
meters (4 inches) would not be surprising; those predicting changes of
0.5-2 meters (1.5-7 feet) are using flawed models.

- Global surface temperatures have increased only about 0.6°C in the last 100 years. (IPCC)
- Global mean sea level has risen only about 6 inches in the last 100 years. (Based on tidal gauge data) (IPCC)
- Global mean sea level rise is in the range of 1.0 to 2.0 mm/yr. (Based on tidal gauge data) (IPCC)
- No significant acceleration in the rate of sea level rise during the 20th century has been detected. (IPCC)
- 20 feet of sea level rise would take 3048-6096 years. (Based on tidal gauge data) (IPCC)
