  1. Yes, see what I mean? Your contention that they are lying/have lied is totally wrong and you have nothing except your denialist delusions and ignorance.

    I'm telling you that you are full of shit. Just post some proof of what you say and I'll take it back.

    "In the coming years, increased wildfire damage from climate change is expected nationwide because of "higher temperatures, widespread drought, earlier snowmelt, spring growth and expanded insect and disease infestations," according to a report from Headwaters Economics, an independent, nonprofit research group.The U.S. Forest Service says changing climate will be the reason behind "at least a doubling of area burned by the mid-21st century."

    Super choppers confront California's weird wildfire season
    By Thom Patterson, CNN

    "(CNN) -- A whirling black and yellow mechanical beast swoops in to battle a deadly wildfire. For victims, it's like the cavalry coming to the rescue.

    "They call it the Firehawk.

    "Los Angeles County Fire Department senior pilot Tom Short talks about this helicopter like it's a super chopper.

    "Having been in all of the aircraft that are out there fighting fires, the Firehawk is the best firefighting machine I've ever seen -- simply because of what it does," Short told CNN on the phone this week. "It does everything: fire, rescue and air ambulance."

    "Basically it's a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter outfitted with a giant water tank. This thing is engineered to get hellishly close to the heat of a raging inferno. Its dual souped-up engines can lift 9,000 pounds -- about the same weight as a large recreational travel trailer.

    "In preparation to dump water over flames, the Firehawk's snorkel can suck 1,000 gallons of water into its storage tank in the span of one minute.

    "We really work these machines very hard. During some fires, Short said, "I've made over 100 drops in one day."

    "A firefighting super-chopper is especially valuable now, as California braces for what may be one of the worst wildfire seasons on record.

    "How worrisome is it? The state's firefighting agency, Cal Fire, has responded to more than 2,500 wildfires in 2014 -- a huge increase in the average number of fires at this point in the year, the agency says. In May, several fires in San Diego County forced thousands of residents from their homes and charred more than 31 square miles. The season usually doesn't ramp up until summer or fall."

    I thought I convinced you with facts and data that California has suffered far long droughts in the past. We cycle through droughts tied to the tides like el nino and la nina.

    We are living in a semi desert to desert out here. Only kooks blame this on man made co2.

    Deal with it.. it counters everything you try and lie about.

    Highlights
    ► Changes in global atmospheric CO2 are lagging 11–12 months behind changes in global sea surface temperature. ► Changes in global atmospheric CO2 are lagging 9.5–10 months behind changes in global air surface temperature. ► Changes in global atmospheric CO2 are lagging about 9 months behind changes in global lower troposphere temperature. ► Changes in ocean temperatures explain a substantial part of the observed changes in atmospheric CO2 since January 1980. ► Changes in atmospheric CO2 are not tracking changes in human emissions.

  7. Most of these GW spokespeople are idiots. They can't sort out charts and graphs, they seem to only use shitty argumentations like appeal to experts and ad homs... Environmentalists are mostly like that, many are attorneys that don't know a damned thing about the environment, all they have to know is how to get the public to pay for all their lawsuits...

    If there is one kind I can't stand it's uninformed alarmists and that's mostly what I've seen in decades of reading lots and lots of stuff...

  9. rectum = dumbass

    Argument from authority (Latin: argumentum ab auctoritate), also authoritative argument and appeal to authority, is a common form of argument which leads to a logical fallacy when misused.
