Aquecimento global (parte 1 de 3): leitor comenta (2)

Takata,

Permita-me comentar sobre “espaço na mídia” e sobre o “consenso”:

ESPAÇO NA MÍDIA:

O espaço para os chamados céticos ainda é praticamente zero. O seu argumento é totalmente autoritário e desprovido de lógica, pois defende a idéia que o espaço deve ser proporcional ao valor dos dados apresentados (mais ou menos, como você mesmo diz) entre as duas correntes. Acontece que a mídia nem dá oportunidade ao lado cético para apresentar suas idéias. Eu mesmo sou vítima disso. TODAS as minhas tentativas de intervenção foram censuradas no espaço de DEBATE que foi aberto no portal do fantástico sobre o tema. Basicamente, ainda, o grosso da nossa população se informa via televisão. Faço um desavio: apresente-me uma série ou mesmo uma reportagem de 5 minutos que seja, que questiona a teoria alarmista em horário nobre na televisão.

CONSENSO:
Como o próprio Houassis diz, consenso tem tudo a ver com concordância. E olha que não tinha consultado o dicionário.

Você tinha razão: não me certifiquei da data da pesquisa. Então, te passo:
a) outras duas pesquisas mais atuais
b) uma relação de mais de 100 grandes cientistas (a maioria climatologistas) que discordam da teoria do aquecimento antropogênico e, portanto, anulam o argumento do consenso (tenho uma relação de + de 800 cientistas). Rui Moura não está na relação, mas aconselho visitar o blog dele: http:/mitos-climaticos.blogspot.com

c) Quanto ao que diz a AMS (o artigo data de 2003 – antes do consenso das quedas de temperatura mundial), provavelmente você deve saber que tanto ela quanto a NAS desautorizam seus integrantes a confirmar este consenso. (fonte US Senate – Minority Report)
Além do mais, você cortou a parte mais interessante do artigo que diz:

A National Research Council report concluded that "[g]reenhouse gases are accumulating in the Earth's atmosphere as a result of human activities, causing surface air temperatures and subsurface ocean temperatures to rise. . . . The changes observed over the last several decades are likely mostly due to human activities, but we cannot rule out that some significant part of these changes is also a reflection of natural variability" (National Research Council 2001a) – Qão significativa é esta parte significante???

d) uma outra pesquisa mostrando que MAIS da metade dos trabalhos acadêmicos entre 2004 e 2007 relacionados com o clima, não endossam a tese do aquecimento global. (mesma fonte)

A tática do IPCC de dizer que existe consenso é desonesta. Mania autoritária de tentar impor consensos.
Além do mais, consenso não garante modelos nem teorias. Se assim fosse, por consenso, Jesus existe e de quebra, Deus também.

As pesquisas de opinião:

A survey of over 400 German, American and Canadian climate researchers conducted by Dennis Bray of the Meteorologisches Institut der Universitat Hamburg and Hans von Storch of GKSS Forschungszentrum and reported in the United Nations Climate Change Bulletin, for example, found that only 10% of the researchers surveyed "strongly agreed" with the statement "We can say for certain that global warming is a process already underway." Further, 35% of those surveyed either disagreed with the statement or were undecided. Perhaps even more interesting, 67% of the researchers either disagreed or were uncertain about the proposition that climate change will occur so suddenly that a lack of preparation would devastate certain parts of the world -- the underlying assumption on which the talks in Kyoto, Japan were based. Close to half of the researchers -- 48% -- indicated that they don't have faith in the forecasts of the global climate models, the strongest argument in favor of quick, decisive, international action to counter the threat of global warming. Another 20% expressed uncertainty about these models.

Another survey, conducted by American Viewpoint for Citizens for a Sound Economy, found that, by a margin of 44% to 17%, state climatologists believe that global warming is largely a natural phenomenon. The survey further found that 58% of the climatologists disagreed with President Clinton's assertion that "the overwhelming balance of evidence and scientific opinion is that it is no longer a theory, but now fact, that global warming is for real," while only 36% agreed with the assertion. Thirty-six of the nation's 48 official state climatologists participated in the survey.
There is, therefore, no scientific consensus on global warming.
But perhaps even more important than whether or not scientists have reached a consensus, however, is whether or not the scientific data backs up the theory. Data collected from NASA's TIROs series of weather satellites show a slight cooling trend of .04 degrees Celsius over the past 18 years. These findings have been confirmed by weather balloons.
Even if scientists haven't developed a consensus on global warming, the scientific data has: Global warming is not occurring. (o negrito é meu)

Enfim, Takata. Falar de consenso é brincar com a minha intelegência e brincando, peço unanimidade entre nós dois em um ponto: ainda não existe consenso sobre a teoria do aquecimento global antropogênico.

Finalmente, quanto às temperaturas médias da terra, apesar de ser consenso entre os climatologistas das duas correntes de que a média vem caindo no início deste século, isto não desvalida necessariamente a teoria do aquecimento. Pode ser apenas uma depressão pontual. Portanto, deixemos que o próprio tempo :-) responda à esta questão.

Abraços e obrigado pela oportunidade do debate. Tenho aprendido muitas coisas dos dois lados.
