I don’t understand why it would not be appropriate for qualified scientists to think. It seems to me to be a fundamental.
Reread my post. You obviously did not get what I said the first time.
The moderator would be selected by the network as it always is. A real scientist would be someone with specialty in climatology or related science. With a lot of work experience. Greta or Bill Nye would not qualify. The length of the debate would be decided by the network. You might be over thinking this a bit.
Scientists can think whatever they choose but God is in control. 
Not over thinking anything. I am intrigued that a television debate on something like climate change could be considered to be suitable for a meaningful in-depth discussion unless the proposal is for at least a 6 hour programme.
It’s probably worth 6 hours, but I doubt the average attention span can go that long. Probably two hours tops.
Not only is it blazing in Australia it is BLAZING.

everytime it gets really hot somewhere we see “proof” that the world is ablaze
real scientists see past this media hyped up garbage
“real scientists” meaning 8th grade level science knowledge
Been predicted for over a century that it would be getting hotter and in recent decades assembled models forecasting that increase that is incredibly accurate as it has in actuality gotten hotter, but that is not proof of anything, just a coincidental guess, they got the cause wrong, or cooked the data somehow.
Real scientists look at the global average trend going upwards confirming the hypothesis. Is that what you are doing or are you just nibbling at the edges?
do you see me doing anything with climate science and data and i instrumentation etc?
No. I don’t see you discussing global trends. Instead I see you nibbling at the edges.
i choose not to take a strong stand technically because i dont pretend to know the details nor do i let media shape my views.
i do what i learned in 8th grade and question it all, look for the best evidence, and opposing views, rather than joining the cult
I can’t argue against that stance.
Ok. And?
That is why reports like the BOM/CSIO (Australia) reports are so important. Feel free to browse if you feel so inclined.
I welcome your response in that post and refer you to my earlier post where I provided a link to the most recent BOM/CSIRO (Australia) Climate Report.

Key points
Australia
- Australia’s climate has warmed just over 1 °C since 1910 leading to an increase in the frequency of extreme heat events.
- Oceans around Australia have warmed by around 1 °C since 1910, contributing to longer and more frequent marine heatwaves.
- Sea levels are rising around Australia, increasing the risk of inundation.
- The oceans around Australia are acidifying (the pH is decreasing).
- April to October rainfall has decreased in the southwest of Australia. Across the same region May–July rainfall has seen the largest decrease, by around 20 per cent since 1970.
- There has been a decline of around 11 per cent in April–October rainfall in the southeast of Australia since the late 1990s.
- Rainfall has increased across parts of northern Australia since the 1970s.
- Streamflow has decreased across southern Australia. Streamflow has increased in northern Australia where rainfall has increased.
- There has been a long-term increase in extreme fire weather, and in the length of the fire season, across large parts of Australia.
Global
- Concentrations of all the major long-lived greenhouse gases in the atmosphere continue to increase, with carbon dioxide (CO 2) concentrations rising above 400 ppm since 2016 and the CO 2 equivalent (CO 2-e) of all gases reaching 500 ppm for the first time in at least 800,000 years.
- Emissions from fossil fuels continue to increase and are the main contributor to the observed growth in atmospheric CO2.
- The world’s oceans, especially in the southern hemisphere, are taking up more than 90 per cent of the extra energy stored by the planet as a result of enhanced greenhouse gas concentrations.
- Global sea level has risen by over 20 cm since 1880, and the rate has been accelerating in recent decades.
- Globally averaged air temperature has warmed by over 1 °C since records began in 1850, and each of the last four decades has been warmer than the previous one.
Future
Australia is projected to experience:
- Further increases in sea and air temperatures, with more hot days and marine heatwaves, and fewer cool extremes.
- Further sea level rise and ocean acidification.
- Decreases in rainfall across southern Australia with more time in drought, but an increase in intense heavy rainfall throughout Australia.
This thread is still going? I wonder why people don’t waste this much breathe over abortion, physician assisted suicide, or war. There are people’s lives at stake and y’all want to argue about the weather? Okie dokie.
What is terrifying is that this is just at a one degree rise. I’m horrified imagining 2-4 degrees more, let alone the worst case scenario of 5-7 degrees.
