Incorrect, GS. I've given you evidence (which the UEA CRU has long admitted is true) that AGW lacks any basis in reality. You simply closed your eyes and refused to accept the truth. You have a faith, my friend. No different than a belief in Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny.

What evidence? The AGW claim is based on the word of CRU, NASA, and NOAA. I gave you proof that they admit they made it all up. What more could a rational, scientific, logical person need to dismiss AGW as nothing more than mythology?

What proof did you give me? You literally can't give me proof of AGW. That's because there are only three main global temperature datasets in the world (UEA CRU, NASA, and NOAA) and all of them have been discredited. "Phil says X is true" when Phil has admitted he made it all up, is not valid proof that X is true.

Again, good luck with your new religion, Goodspeed.

You are very immature. I ignore you for days, then decide maybe I was wrong and should discuss things with you, and this is how you respond.
You're the immature one starting a conversation you know nothing about and acting as if you're the right based on your false evidence. I told you many times to get a legitimate education on the subject by reading the actual book or studying some of Marx's principles and yet you continue to shove your head further up your ass and ignore the reality. This is the reason why its intellectuals that discuss communism worldwide and retards like you that criticize it without even taking time to learn about it.


as for Jack, you're saying its impossible for a transition from socialism to communism simply because the risk of a tyrant? There's risks of tyrants in every system. And if you were to study communism you would know that its the people of a society that will demand the transition and not a government doing it for them. As for pointing to the US living standards, we live better but at who's expense? Are you really living well or are you just feeding off the scraps that the elite 1% leave behind? Capitalism is not complete yet in this country, the attacks on unions and worker's rights are exactly the consequences predicted by Marx those in a capitalist society would experience. Because in a capitalist society the workers are to be exploited whereas communism allows for the working class to protect itself. Besides if either of you would take time to educate yourselves on the subject you would know that Marx didn't even think communism was 100% right he in fact invited constructive criticism. He also believed that the next step after communism would be a utopian society devoid of government entirely. Communism is not meant for this generation or lifetime. It is a long, long process of the dialectic of ideas that will continue to produce a better and better system until we can reach a point where the wealth isn't competed for and the mentality of the people has changed from the consumerism driven into the brains of citizens under a capitalist system. Capitlism is an improvement from feudalism, the next step (and we are seeing its demand for change now) is socialism.

If you disagree I can only tell you to read about first before you judge and that history and the future will ultimately support Marx's theories.
There's not a risk, there's a guarantee. And "the people" would not be able to usher in communism without killing everyone who opposes it. And yes I am living quite well. Being able to discuss politics on an open forum with people who live across the globe. Being able to get in contact with a friend in 5 seconds. Not having to worry about food, shelter, and clothing.Yea I'd say my life is pretty good. At whose expense? Like I said, I wish America was more like Sweden militarily, and my votes shall be cast accordingly. And with mass media today, corporations won't get away with when it comes to treating their employees. The time of unions is over anyways, many of the existing unions are actually more hurtful than they are helpful. Teachers have to pay union dues, even if they don't want to be in the union. That sounds oppressive to me. And yes I have read about it, and history shows me that it fails.
The perfect example of communism failing is right in Americas history: http://www.thinking-catholic-strategic-center.com/Colonial-Communism.html
These people had the perfect set up. They were all of the same religion. They all had to depend on each other for survival. There wasn't a large gap in the work loads, like someone having to go to 8 years of school to be a doctor vs on the job training to be an electrician.
Has there ever been a documented case of successful communism?

Communism is a lovely idea that would work if no one had to do any work to survive. And until that day comes, communism will be only a dream.

No, there isn't a guarantee I don't see how you know for certain what happens in the future. I know for certain that you don't know what actual Marxism is, nor do you understand his principles and theories. How can I tell? two sentences in your post, one being "And "the people" would not be able to usher in communism without killing everyone who opposes it" and two being "Has there ever been a documented case of successful communism?". Not to mention you seem to be under the false impression that communism is inadequate in providing necessities and political freedom. The closest the world has ever been to actual communism was in Yugoslavia under Josep Tito. And even then, they had a variant of it. Like I said, communism is out of our time and there is no possible way you can tell me it doesn't work by pointing to the societies we see now because they. are. not. communist. Look up totalitarian, socialist, authoritarian, fascist and then tell me if those are any closer to the societies we see now rather than communism.

Seven billion people cannot live in stateless and classless world. It's a dream. It won't happen. I'm a realist. Even if somehow (please tell me how, because Marx didn't know) the human race arrived united under one socialist dictator, how the government would be dissolved, how the goods and services would still be distributed to those that need them, how no one would ever commit a crime, how technology would move forward, how an epidemic would be handled?

"The closest the world has ever been to actual communism was in Yugoslavia under Josep Tito."
That wasn't even close to communism.

i looked into it and this is what I found :

"The traditional media picked up the story as negotiations over climate change mitigation began in Copenhagen on 7 December, with media outlets like Fox News giving the controversy increased coverage.[8] Because of the timing, scientists and policy makers speculated that the release of emails was a smear campaign intended to undermine the climate conference.[9] In response to the controversy, the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the American Meteorological Society (AMS) and the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) released statements supporting the scientific consensus, with the AAAS concluding "based on multiple lines of scientific evidence that global climate change caused by human activities is now underway...it is a growing threat to society."[10]
Six committees investigated the allegations and published reports, finding no evidence of fraud or scientific misconduct. However, the reports criticised climate scientists for their disorganised methods, bunker mentality and lack of transparency. Climate scientists and organisations pledged to restore public confidence in the research process by improving data management and opening up access to data.[11][12] The scientific consensus that global warming is occurring as a result of human activity remained unchanged by the end of the investigations"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climatic_Research_Unit_email_controversy

http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2009/11/the-cru-hack/


and :

"The most quoted email is from Phil Jones in 1999 discussing paleo-data used to reconstruct past temperatures (emphasis mine):

"I've just completed Mike's Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) and from 1961 for Keith's to hide the decline."
What do the suggestive "tricks" and "hiding the decline" mean? Is this evidence of a nefarious climate conspiracy? "Mike's Nature trick" refers to the paper Global-scale temperature patterns and climate forcing over the past six centuries (Mann 1998), published in Nature by lead author Michael Mann. The "trick" is the technique of plotting recent instrumental data along with the reconstructed data. This places recent global warming trends in the context of temperature changes over longer time scales.

The "decline" refers to the "divergence problem". This is where tree ring proxies diverge from modern instrumental temperature records after 1960. The divergence problem is discussed as early as 1998, suggesting a change in the sensitivity of tree growth to temperature in recent decades (Briffa 1998). It is also examined more recently in Wilmking 2008 which explores techniques in eliminating the divergence problem. So when you look at Phil Jone's email in the context of the science discussed, it is not the schemings of a climate conspiracy but technical discussions of data handling techniques available in the peer reviewed literature."

it was never attempted before, what we've seen so far are people's interpretations of Marxism. Marxism is not something you force on people, or "attempt". Its a stepping stone on a natural progression. Just as you see people in capitalist countries realizing the ultimate goal of capitalism (sort of like the goal of playing monopoly) they begin to demand socialism and their values change from money moeny money to a functional society that protects its people. The mentality of the people in a society change over time and you will see in the future (not near future) a progression.

As I demonstrated with the pilgrims link, people work a hell of a lot harder for themselves than they do for others. Even when they were faced with starvation they couldn't make communism work. And ok one county goes into communism and others follow it. OR one country goes into communism and another decides to go rape them and make them their slaves. And I also wonder how someone who's never even been there and has never lived under Tito would know how it was. I'll tell you why it wasn't close to communism.
1. Tito was in charge. Communism doesn't have a government.
2. When Tito died the country fell to shit. The country was not very stable if the only thing keeping it together was one person.
3. When Tito died everyone killed each other. Pretty sure communistic people wouldn't do that.

lol that pilgrim link was far from a good example I didn't even understand where it was going. "People work a hell of a lot harder for themselves than they do for others" thats western individualism you're exemplifying. It is different in the East where the mentality is different. And you're not really working for others in a communist society, communism is all about empowering the working class and forming a bond between them. You're working for yourself, but at the same time aren't putting anyone else down. Thats also another assumption you're making about raping other countries. My parents lived in yugoslavia under Tito's leadership and they told me all about it, I've had long discussions with my father about how the system worked there. Communism does have a government, I don't know where you got the idea that there isn't. Yugoslavia had worker self-management and associated labor which are two major components of Marxism, among other things. Its system was mostly socialist but it was still the closest any society has gotten to Marxism.

The country collapsed because after Tito's death the new leader tried to initiate "shock-strategy" free-market reforms and fucked up the economy. It was not Tito's fault that the new guy was inept. War ignited because of nationalism. It is far too complicated to simplify it like you did. I can explain to you how it went down if you're truly interested but it had absolutely nothing to do with communism.

Not altogether. My mother grew up in a China ruled by Mao, and she has experience of the sort of work incentives that people received there; none. Everybody was guaranteed work, but promotion was inconceivable; if tasked with the sweeping of a hallway, a man was likely to spend his life in that process of sweeping.

It did not matter if he conducted himself fastidiously, or if he dozed off at work; his wage remained the same. What reason was there, then, to be an attentive worker?

If he was a doctor, his wage would have been very similar, indeed; why work hard to become a skilled professional when there is little improvement to your earnings?

In fact, the ability to become a doctor was somewhat precarious considering the closure of universities during that period. Why participate thriftily in your studies if there exists no opportunity for you to pursue the higher regions of education?

Once again, that is Maoism. I described the collectivism the east has I didn't mean the systems were the same. There is no "standard wage" in a communist society that is a western produced myth. It would be much easier if you guys would just read the manifesto by Marx, its literally like 70 pages you can knock it out in an hour and it would be vastly beneficial.

"A classless and stateless society" No state =/= no government?
Yugoslavia was socialist and is probably the best example of a socialist country. From my view of the definition i.e. a classless and stateless society (meaning no government), they weren't even close to communism.

And my pilgrim link. Everyone on board the Mayflowers signed a compact saying everything belonged to the community and everything would be shared amongst the group. Pretty much what I'd call communism. Under this system they weren't producing enough food and resources for everyone in the community, so they switched to owning their own property and materials and began to flourish. This is because they worked harder when they were working for themselves. Now apparently this is some western ideology, but possibly with the right education, humans could be taught to work hard for the community rather than for themselves.

in the sense that the working class directs itself. There are local committees (in yugoslavia for example) of like 12 officials that would decide in what you would call a town hall meeting and the people would decide if they need a new park, better school equipment, new roads, etc. There is still a structural government. The classless and stateless society Marx predicted is what would come as a next step after communism, once the dust settles eventually people will have no need of such things. This is only his theory however and the final step is irrelevant because we are talking about communism.

also "everything belonged to the community and everything would be shared amongst the group" they obviously didn't study Marxism,

"Communism argues that only collective ownership of the means of production through a polity (though not necessarily a state) will assure the minimization of unequal or unjust outcomes and the maximization of benefits, and that therefore private ownership of capital should be abolished.
Both communism and some kinds of socialism have also upheld the notion that private ownership of capital is inherently illegitimate. This argument centers mainly on the idea that private ownership of capital always benefits one class over another, giving rise to domination through the use of this privately owned capital. Communists are not opposed to personal property that is "hard-won, self-acquired, self-earned" (Communist Manifesto) by members of the proletariat. Both socialism and communism are careful to make the distinction between private ownership of capital (land, factories, resources, etc...) and private property (homes, material objects, and so forth)."

as for the first link "The data were gathered from weather stations around the world and then adjusted to take account of variables in the way they were collected. The revised figures were kept, but the originals — stored on paper and magnetic tape — were dumped to save space when the CRU moved to a new building." the "revised figures" are addressed in the links i gave you. how does dumping old data for freeing space mean its part of a conspiracy? I thought you'd have more solid evidence considering you were so sure of yourself earlier.

as for the second link
"Anyway, Ed was relaxed about the mountain of documents recently leaked from Britain’s Climate Research Unit in which the world’s leading climate-change warm-mongers e-mail each other back and forth on how to “hide the decline” and other interesting matters." the phrase "hiding the decline" has already been explained in the links I provided to you, once again. Not to mention reading the first few paragraphs of that link shows it is not an objective source.

as for the third link:
"But he denied he had cheated over the data or unfairly influenced the scientific process, and said he still believed recent temperature rises were predominantly man-made."

"He also agreed that there had been two periods which experienced similar warming, from 1910 to 1940 and from 1975 to 1998, but said these could be explained by natural phenomena whereas more recent warming could not. "

‘For it to be global in extent, the MWP would need to be seen clearly in more records from the tropical regions and the Southern hemisphere. There are very few palaeoclimatic records for these latter two regions.
‘Of course, if the MWP was shown to be global in extent and as warm or warmer than today, then obviously the late 20th Century warmth would not be unprecedented. On the other hand, if the MWP was global, but was less warm than today, then the current warmth would be unprecedented.’

"Professor Jones criticised those who complained he had not shared his data with them, saying they could always collate their own from publicly available material in the US. And he said the climate had not cooled ‘until recently – and then barely at all. The trend is a warming trend’.

"Mr Harrabin told Radio 4’s Today programme that, despite the controversies, there still appeared to be no fundamental flaws in the majority scientific view that climate change was largely man-made"

I don't understand why you sent this link to me it has no real basis other than skeptics making assumptions.

I never expected you to be fond of groundless conspiracy theories dragon

I read the entire last article and the only thing that supported your claims was the claims of another person:

"But Dr Benny Pieser, director of the sceptical Global Warming Policy Foundation, said Professor Jones’s ‘excuses’ for his failure to share data were hollow as he had shared it with colleagues and ‘mates’.
He said that until all the data was released, sceptics could not test it to see if it supported the conclusions claimed by climate change advocates.
He added that the professor’s concessions over medieval warming were ‘significant’ because they were his first public admission that the science was not settled."

and to draw conclusions based on that is ludicrous. The second link was too biased for me to even consider reading and the first one I could tell was based on the "evidence" found in the emails that I already gave you a link explaining

Try actually reading the articles. But I'm sure you have, actually. Sucks to admit your religion was a scam, doesn't it?
I hate linking to articles other than to cite a source for a claim. It's lazy because anything he says will just be dismissed because he "didn't read the article properly". It's basically a cop out.

i looked into it and this is what I found :

"The traditional media picked up the story as negotiations over climate change mitigation began in Copenhagen on 7 December, with media outlets like Fox News giving the controversy increased coverage.[8] Because of the timing, scientists and policy makers speculated that the release of emails was a smear campaign intended to undermine the climate conference.[9] In response to the controversy, the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the American Meteorological Society (AMS) and the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) released statements supporting the scientific consensus, with the AAAS concluding "based on multiple lines of scientific evidence that global climate change caused by human activities is now underway...it is a growing threat to society."[10]
Six committees investigated the allegations and published reports, finding no evidence of fraud or scientific misconduct. However, the reports criticised climate scientists for their disorganised methods, bunker mentality and lack of transparency. Climate scientists and organisations pledged to restore public confidence in the research process by improving data management and opening up access to data.[11][12] The scientific consensus that global warming is occurring as a result of human activity remained unchanged by the end of the investigations"

and :

"The most quoted email is from Phil Jones in 1999 discussing paleo-data used to reconstruct past temperatures (emphasis mine):

"I've just completed Mike's Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) and from 1961 for Keith's to hide the decline."
What do the suggestive "tricks" and "hiding the decline" mean? Is this evidence of a nefarious climate conspiracy? "Mike's Nature trick" refers to the paper Global-scale temperature patterns and climate forcing over the past six centuries (Mann 1998), published in Nature by lead author Michael Mann. The "trick" is the technique of plotting recent instrumental data along with the reconstructed data. This places recent global warming trends in the context of temperature changes over longer time scales.

The "decline" refers to the "divergence problem". This is where tree ring proxies diverge from modern instrumental temperature records after 1960. The divergence problem is discussed as early as 1998, suggesting a change in the sensitivity of tree growth to temperature in recent decades (Briffa 1998). It is also examined more recently in Wilmking 2008 which explores techniques in eliminating the divergence problem. So when you look at Phil Jone's email in the context of the science discussed, it is not the schemings of a climate conspiracy but technical discussions of data handling techniques available in the peer reviewed literature."

even skepticalscience says its not a conspiracy. And I just clicked the first couple links off google search of CRU email hacked and thats what I got.
nothing to say about this dragon or gs?

sorry, i don't feel like getting into an agw discussion. i was only giving CFCs as an example of what huge impact people can have on the environment when they're not careful and you kept bringing up agw. anyway i can predict the discussion will just be us pointlessly linking each other to scientific articles. meh

also it was tldr :p
