Fun:Global warming denial Bingo
From RationalWiki
A little something to make arguments with Global warming denialists go a bit more smoothly. Since most of them use the same few arguments, just mark them off as they come up.
| Vikings/ Medieval Warm Period. | "No warming since 1998." | Michael Mann's "fraudulent" hockey stick graph. | Climategate. | Solar cycles/Sun spots. |
| S. Fred Singer/ M&M/ Wegman Report/ Richard Lindzen/ Christopher Monckton cited. | Evil Liberal Science Conspiracy/ Soshulizmz! | "It's snowing today. Where's your global warming now?" | Petition of x "scientists" who "disagree" with the consensus. | "The models are broken." |
| "The climate has always been changing. It's natural." | "Remember global cooling?" | FREE SPACE (Al Gore joke) |
Water vapor/clouds aren't in the models. | "CO2 lags forcing, not leads." |
| "CO2 is plant food!" | "God will save us/God would never let warming happen!" | "Even if it's real, we can adapt!" | "Alarmism! Warmist Chicken Littles!" | Clean coal |
| "Any regulations on greenhouse gases will destroy the economy forever!" | "CO2 is not a pollutant." | "Mars/ Pluto/ Nibiru is warming too!" | "It's a scam cooked up by the alternative fuel industry!" | "What about the underwater volcanoes?" |
