You almost got me on our side, Dave, but I’ll see your dishwasher and raise you a microwave oven. Wanna’ call? I got a million Neanderthals that wouldn’t give a fig for a fork, spoon, or plate but they’d scream like a little girl for a faster way to warm up leftover mastodon.

Both the microwave & the automatic dishwasher however largely rely on fossil fuels. And Neanderthals never got to enjoy mastodon, nuked or otherwise prepared. Mammoth, yes. And if they had had microwaves, then maybe we could blame them for Eemian heat.

Stopped the video @ur momisugly 1.55 when he tried to explain that there is a difference between weather & climate.
Everyone knows that weather IS NOW climate.
Just ask anyone from the UN-IPCC/Australian Climate Commission:
“The IPCC report that linked extreme weather events to climate change in 2012 was a breakthrough as previously scientists were loathed to link the two,” Professor Will Steffen, of the commission, told Guardian Australia. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/jun/17/australia-climate-change-report2

Being forewarned by many commenters, I did not waste my time with the video. (So thanks–even though you wasted your time, it wasn’t wasted on me).
“Global Warming” doesn’t even come close to the “greatest scientific discovery of all time”.
What it does reflect is a fertile imagination–something you’d expect featured on the Holodeck, a similated reality facility located on starships and starbased in the fictional Star Trek universe.
Which would be fine if it didn’t have a significant negative monetary and cultural impact on the inhabitants of the Earth.
Is the Discovery of Global Warming Our Greatest Scientific Achievement?
I’ll go with greatest Scientific HOAX ever.
Greatest Scientific Achievements ever?
* Copernicus – heliocentrism
* Newton – gravity
* Einstein (and others) – subatomic physics
Climate related science?
* Milankovic – astronomical forces
* Wegener – continental drift
* Alvarez – impact extinction P.S. the idi0t in the video is not on crack, just a fine example of the young, disorganized mind, fast-talking to compensate for lack of any critical thinking skills.

An accomplishment involves action, achievement and creation. Weather is something we watch.
We have no control of it. Weather cannot be called a human accomplishment of any sort.

Horrible video, cruelty to your vistors?
The discovery of global warming…..Greatest scientific achievement? Well if anyone discovers actual global warming that is definitely caused by man and nothing else, this would be a true scientific achievement.
But so far the claim of manmade global warming and the religion built around it are as far from science, scientific method and any scientific achievement as to make the boast an absurdity.

If it is (something I seriously doubt) then it is definitely worth a Nobel Prize. All that remains is to figure out who to give it to. Al Gore already has one, so that would be gelding the lily. Maybe they could split it between Mann and Hansen.

Not usre if an invention qualifies as a discovery but I vote for the fractional horsepower electric motor. With out it no electric starters for cars —> very few women able to drive, no refrigeration—>regular visits from the iceman, no wash machines, no dryers, no electric fans for “cooling,” no air conditioning, can you imagine any of the early computers without AC and plenum floors, my laptop’s fan cranks up from time to time. I could go on but I think that you get the idea.

Too bad Hansen wasn’t gelded many years ago then he wouldn’t have any grand children to worry about. I do assume that you meant “gelded” as in castration of male colt as opposed to gilding the lily. snarc? who me?

OK, so call me a beggar for punishment … (I can’t believe I watched the whole thing!) But if this is the “best” that advisors to the moaning and groaning “how can we communicate climate change” crowd can come up with, then, IMHO, the alarmists are in BIGGER credibility trouble than they were before!
At first I thought he was doing a (rather poor) imitation of Topher Field’s style … but this guy lacks Topher’s skillful timing and pacing (not to mention sincerity, imagination and articulation)!
The blurb on YouTube gives their game away with its concluding:
To study this massive amount of information and be able to surmise that the increasingly extreme and bizarre weather patterns are a result of human influence… it’s truly an incredible accomplishment. So everyone who says during a blizzard “so much for global warming”… shut up. You’re wrong.
If those behind this production think they are likely to convince any but the terminally challenged in the comprehension department that the “discovery of global warming” might be our “greatest scientific achievement”, they really need to come back down to the planet earth they claim they’re trying to “save”!
This production is almost as inane as Obama’s recent declaration to a selected Soweto audience to the effect that if we continue on our current path, “the planet will boil over” … yes, he really did say this! Ezra Levant challenges David Suzuki’s hypocritical call for population control and Obama’s lecturing of Africans

Why would it be an achievement? If it were true that there is such a thing as human-induced global warming, the “discovery” would amount to raising one’s hand while delivering powerful flatulence.

I suspect that the IPCC will be funding many trail balloons as this and many others in the run-up to AR5 and lobbying and threatening the the Nobel Committee for a Physics Nobel to Sanctify their ‘Discovery.’
Only natural that the IPCC resort to Mafia tactics to gain public adoration in the face of their stupendous idiocy.
But that is politics, not science.
