Temperatures in Antarctica have hit a balmy -109F over the last two days, which can mean only one thing tropical vacation. | anecdote | 1.3 | CARDS |
Liberals know very well..the sun solar flares are at the end of a hot cycle. Next 8 years will be considerably colder. Harsher winters. Will they still call it "climate crisis" ?How old are you Steve. Go ahead ...pick the climate crisis for your birth year. | single cause | 1.2 | hamburg_test3 |

Undoubtedly, if human caused global warming is one day proven to be a hoax (a moment that may be just around the corner), AL Gore will go down in history as one of the most successful fraud artists ever. He will have enriched himself while causing massive strains to be placed on Western economies just when they are in an economic crisis ... and all this for a hocus pocus theory that has yet to be proven and is showing growing cracks in its facade. But, emerging ever more from the shadows is the real man behind the Global warming frenzy; Dr. James Hansen of NASA. | conspiracy theory | 5.3 | CARDS |
But the thermometer records showed that the warming stopped from 2000 to 2014. Until they didn’t. In two of the four global surface series, data were adjusted in two ways that wiped out the “pause” that had been observed[…] | ad hominem | 5.1.3 | Alhindi_train |

Finally, it is a fact that people who have saltwater aquariums sometimes add CO2 to the water in order to increase coral growth and to increase plant growth. The truth is CO2 is the most important food for all life on Earth, including marine life. It is the main food for photosynthetic plankton (algae), which in turn is the food for the entire food chain in the sea. | oversimplification | 3.2.3 | CARDS |
When the Dinosaurs roamed, the CO2 content was 6 to 9 times current and the planet was green from pole to pole; almost no deserts. If we doubled the atmospheric content of CO2, young pine trees would grow at twice the rate and nearly every crop yield would go up 30 to 40%. | oversimplification | 3.3.1 | CARDS |
Global warming which has been the subject of so many discussions in recent years, may give way to global cooling. | slothful induction | 1.2 | CARDS |

News flash, Mr. President: Alaska has been buffeted by cyclical swings in climate for thousands of years. | single cause | 2.1.4 | jintest |
It is claimed by IPCC that the increased carbon dioxide emitted by Man is causing global warming. In my paper it is shown that the cause and effect relation is exactly the opposite; that natural global warming has caused an increase in the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, simply because of the reduction in solubility of carbon dioxide in sea water with increasing sea temperatures. | false choice | 2.3.3 | CARDS |
Politicians and activists claim rising sea levels are a direct cause of global warming but sea levels rates have been increasing steadily since the last ice age 10,000 ago | single cause | 2.1.4 | hamburg_test3 |

But the observed warming as monitored by satellites (our only truly global monitoring system) has been only about half of what computerized climate models say should be happening. | cherry picking | 5.1.4 | jintrain |
“Sea level rise, which was occurring long before humans could be blamed, has not accelerated and still amounts to only 1 inch every ten years. If a major hurricane is approaching with a predicted storm surge of 10-14 feet, are you really going to worry about a sea level rise of 1 inch per decade?” | slothful induction | 1.6 | Alhindi_train |
Stratford Mountain Club spokesman Rob Needs said it was the most significant snow to fall at such low levels and so early in the winter season for several decades. | anecdote | 1.3 | CARDS |
Well, for example, it would not "curb climate change" at all. It would make no difference. A 40% reduction in US emissions would have no measurable impact on atmospheric CO2 increase. It would take global emissions back to a point where it was rising at the same rate as today. | impossible expectations | 5.2 | hamburg_test3 |
Even if the temperature rises in accordance with predictions that are always wrong, there is no threat to human existence from climate change. | slothful induction | 3 | hamburg_test3 |

There is a warming of the surface by infra-red active gases, the so-called greenhouse gases, but that effect was maximized at lower concentrations of those gases than we now have.Increases in those gases now cause small decreases in surface and general tropospheric temperatures.This is because the mean free length for infra-red absorption by these gases is now too short for them to move the upper troposphere radiative equilibrium altitude to higher altitudes in the dense troposphere. | oversimplification | 2.3.2 | CARDS |
He now says: "Anyone who tries to predict more than five to 10 years is a bit of an idiot, because so many things can change unexpectedly." | impossible expectations | 5.1.4 | jintest |
Those circumstances prompted Dr. Frederick Seitz, former president of the U.S. Academy of Sciences, the American Physical Society, and Rockefeller University to write in The Wall Street Journal: "I have never witnessed a more disturbing corruption of the peer review process than events that led to this IPCC report." | fake experts | 5.1.1 | CARDS |

The other was that Canadian scientists studying the effect of climate change on Arctic ice from an icebreaker had to suspend their research, when their vessel was called to the aid of other ships trapped in the thickest summer ice seen in Hudson Bay for 20 years. | anecdote | 1.1.3 | jintrain |
If human emissions of carbon dioxide drive global warming, why have there been slight warmings and coolings since the Industrial Revolution? | single cause | 2.1.4 | Alhindi_train |
” ‘You’ve only got to look at Singapore. It’s two-and-a-half times higher than the worst-case scenario for climate change, and it’s one of the most desirable cities in the world to live in.’ ” | oversimplification | 3 | Alhindi_train |
“Previous satellite estimates of modern ice losses tried to take this into account, but precise new GPS data showed much of Greenland is rising far more rapidly than thought, up to 12mm a year. This means 19 cubic kilometres more ice is falling into the sea each year, an increase of about 8% on earlier figures.” | cherry picking | 1.1.2 | Alhindi_train |
Low temperature records are falling by the hundreds this winter. This is occurring despite the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicting that extreme cold outbreaks will become less frequent and less severe. When a theory's predictions are contradicted by real-world events, sound science requires us to re-examine the theory. | anecdote | 1.3 | CARDS |
mortality from Extreme Weather Events has declined by 99 per cent since the 1920s | oversimplification | 3.6 | jindev |
Also we have applied a completely artificial adjustment to the data after 1960, so they look closer to observed temperatures than the tree-ring data actually were Dr. Tim Osborn, Climatic Research Unit, disclosed Climategate e-mail, Dec. 20, 2006 | conspiracy theory | 5.3.2 | CARDS |
The flaw in the UN reasoning is clear, however. The alarmists claim the global warming since 1976 has been too rapid to be caused by natural forces, and therefore must be man-made. However, the earth's Industrial Revolution went global after 1945 releasing the first big flush of CO2 emissions. That burst of greenhouse gases should have sharply boosted the earths temperatures. Instead, the earth's temperature declined from 1940-75. | single cause | 2.3.3 | CARDS |

Until last month, when the lies of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change were revealed to the world by an anonymous hacker. Not since Aladdin has a thief saved his country; and this data thief may actually save the world from the proverbial fate worse than death. For the stolen data, now posted on public whistle-blowing websites throughout the Internet, reveals all the truths that climate-change "deniers" have been shouting upon deaf ears. | conspiracy theory | 5.3 | CARDS |
Man made climate change is a lie used to fleece economies and destroy our wealth. It will allow Communism and totalitarianism to rule out of necessity. That will result in millions of deaths. | conspiracy theory | 5.3.1 | hamburg_test2 |
It's a cooling trend equaling 1.3F per century. And not a single government sponsored climate expert, nor wildly expensive climate model, predicted such. | cherry picking | 1.2 | CARDS |
And furthermore, the fact that they were preceded by the temperature changes means that the temperature changes are causing the CO2 changes and not the reverse. As oceans warm, they emit CO2, and as they cool they absorb it. Bubbles of CO2 are emitted from cold soda as it is poured into a warm glass, and soda is produced by dissolving CO2 into cold water. | false choice | 2.3.3 | CARDS |

The only period in 600 million years when CO2 levels were equal to the present was over 300 million years ago. Since that time CO2 levels averaged 1000 to 1200 ppm or 3 to 4 times current levels. How did the plant and animal life survive those levels? It makes a mockery of the claim that even a doubling of atmospheric CO2 is a problem. | false equivalence | 2.1.4 | CARDS |
The lack of sun spots during the past solar cycle has surpassed all records since the Dalton Minimum and some solar physicists have suggested we may be headed for a Dalton or Maunder type mimimum with severe cooling. | single cause | 1.2 | CARDS |

In recent years snows have fallen in unusual places like Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Buenos Aires, southern Brazil. Johannesburg, South Africa, southern Australia, the Mediterranean Coast and Greece. All-time record snows fell in many locales across the western and northern United States from Washington State and Oregon and Colorado to Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, Vermont and Maine. All-time records were also set in southern Canada. | anecdote | 1.3 | CARDS |

In 1985, ice cores extracted from Greenland revealed temperatures and CO2 levels going back 150,000 years. Temperature and CO2 seemed locked together. It was a turning point - the greenhouse effect captured attention. But, in 1999 it became clear that carbon dioxide rose and fell after temperatures did. By 2003, we had better data showing the lag was 800 200 years. CO2 was in the back seat. | false choice | 2.3.3 | CARDS |

Unusually cold and wet conditions across the middle of the country led to several snowfall records. Cheyenne, Wyoming observed 28 inches of snow during October, making this the city's snowiest October on record. North Platte, Nebraska recorded 30.3 inches of snowfall, making October 2009 the snowiest month of all months on record for the city. The previous record was 27.8 inches, in March 1912. | anecdote | 1.3 | CARDS |

They visualize a U.S.-China bilateral deal to limit emissions (mainly of carbon dioxide from fossil-fuel burning) that would operate in parallel with the Kyoto Protocol (which neither country plans to ratify). In their plan, the United States buys emission rights from an arbitrary excess quota allotted to China. The authors call it headroom but I call it a subsidy. The United States pays, China gets, and the atmosphere does not benefit because emissions continue essentially unabated. | impossible expectations | 4.2.6 | CARDS |
