Birther Debate dead, Could Climate Change Debate be Next?
Does any rational person on the whole planet really believe that we are not in fact experiencing climate change?THE HOCKEY SCHTICK: New Paper: Greenland ice sheet didn't melt despite temperatures much hotter in the past
...
Managing to shut up Mr. Trump (I like how that rhymes) by debunking the tired birther debate has left me inspired that somehow, some way, Americans (I say Americans because we are for some reason the most likely to fall for the unfounded conspiracies).

Boyd Cohen is the CEO of CO2 IMPACT, a carbon origination company based in Vancouver, Canada and Bogota, Colombia.
A new paper from the 2011 Antarctic Science Symposium presents new ice core data from Greenland and finds that not even the southern portion of Greenland was ice-free during the Eemian period, despite temperatures much higher than the present (5°C or 9°F) lasting for 16,000 years (from 130,000 to 114,000 years ago). Meanwhile, alarmists such as Richard Alley (buddy of Michael Mann at Penn State) and James Hansen claim "The entire ice mass of Greenland will disappear from the world map if temperatures rise by as little as 2°C." Note global temperatures have recovered by a mere 0.7°C since the end of the Little Ice Age in 1850 and have been flat to declining since 1998.- Bishop Hill blog - Procuring a short but fleshy paper
I was thinking about Sarah Muckherjee's comments about NGOs funding climate science, which still seems a bit odd to me: if I recall correctly various people have looked at CRU's funding and seen no signs of NGO money. However, I then came across this email in the Climategate file (No 1060196763).

'Lets do some debunking shall we?
Of course glaciers are shrinking. We are the tail end of a period known as an interglacial which is a warm period between two glacial (cooler) periods. When we hit the next glacial period, the glaciers will grow again. Of course, if you are a history denier, you will argue against this.
The Earth's temperature has levelled out and is now in a cooling period. Even global warming promoter Kevin Trenbeth admitted to much in a email not meant for public eyes in October 2009 by stating "The fact is that we can't account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a
travesty that we can't." Our current warming period is not unique historically and, as I stated earlier, if you are a history denier, you will argue against this.

The "consensus" by scientists claim is always brought up. Did you mean the 52 lead authors of the IPCC or the Doran survey claiming 97% consensus based on 76 out of 79 researchers (when rounded comes to 96% - they even get the basic maths wrong).
And on the "hacked" emails, the jury is still out on whether the emails were hacked, leaked or left on an unprotected server. One thing for sure, the files were all collated according to pending Freedom of Information requests. Maybe someone on the inside wanted to get the truth out.
For those wanting to search the emails, here are two sites:
http://www.climate-gate.org/
http://www.eastangliaemails.com/
And finally, desmog blog is a political, non-scientific activist blog. http://www.populartechnology.net/2011/04/truth-about-desmogblog.html
I hope this info has helped the readers of this site. You don't have to believe me or Boyd Cohen, just do your own research and come to your own conclusions."
Lets see if it passes moderation. If not, at least its referenced here.
