    Hurricanes, forest fires and flooding all occurred on massive scales before early humans existed.
    The Climate Change Cult is all about taxation and socialism, it has nothing to do with science.

    'Never give up,' Swedish teen tells Iowa climate activists after U.N. summit 'failure'

    IOWA CITY, Iowa (Reuters) - Teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg on Friday urged her supporters to “never give up” in demanding urgent steps to fight climate change after world leaders failed to act decisively at a recent United Nations summit.

    “As we all know, the UN Climate Action Summit was a failure,” the 16-year-old Swede told a cheering crowd just off the campus of the University of Iowa. “No matter what, we need to continue,” Thunberg told an adoring crowd that welcomed her with chants of “Greta, Greta.”

    Hundreds of demonstrators gathered at the rally to listen to the Swedish activist. Some held signs with slogans such as “If you breathe the air you should care” and “Science not silence.”

    Thunberg’s campaign began as a lonely vigil outside the Swedish parliament but rapidly grew into a global movement of activists demanding urgent action on climate. In recent weeks, millions poured onto streets around the globe in protests and Thunberg addressed the United Nations on the issue last month.

    “She is the face of climate change,” said Lena Kosinski, a 21-year-old student at the University of Iowa. “It’s nice to have not only a young person, but a female leading the change.”

    Activists at the rally renewed calls for the University of Iowa to cease operations of its coal-burning plant. Iowa City Mayor Jim Throgmorton said pressure from the young activists had been instrumental in speeding up efforts toward a local action plan to tackle climate change.

    A polarizing figure in the climate change debate, Thunberg is venerated by many peers and ridiculed by some critics. She is the odds on favorite to win the Nobel Peace Prize this month, though her aggressive style may turn off some on the Nobel committee.

    Thunberg denounced world leaders for failing to tackle climate change and accused them of “stealing her dreams” in an impassioned speech at the United Nations Climate Action Summit last month.

    Nearly 70 countries announced plans to beef up their Paris climate agreement pledges, but most major economies including the United States and China failed to announce stronger new measures.

    Experts said there was a huge gap between what Thunberg demanded in her opening remarks and youth called for on the streets and what world leaders announced at the summit.

    With events such as extreme weather, thawing permafrost and sea-level rise unfolding much faster than expected, scientists say the urgency of the climate crisis has intensified since the signing of the Paris accord in 2015.

    U.S. President Donald Trump intends to pull the United States out of the international deal that aims to reduce carbon emissions. Under terms of the pact, that cannot formally happen before Nov. 4, 2020.

  4. I very much hope she wins the Nobel prize. After Obama's award, it would pretty much confirm that it is a joke or parody now.

    You deniers realize that you are expecting people to believe a few wingnuts and people posting on a message board over NASA and the vast majority of scientists that exist in the world right? I mean NASA for gods sake, you really think you are smarter than the people at NASA that work on this?? You know how crazy that sounds right? I mean that makes most of infowars stuff seem plausible in comparison.

    It may not be quite a dire as some make it seem, or it may be that dire, but either way it's a huge problem. You almost have to take the rhetoric to that level to get any action at all. Without it humans by nature will just be happy to be the frog in the boiling pot with the heat slowing going up.

    Prager... really, are you really that dumb.

    OK Sooo, you have Prager...
    PragerU, short for Prager University, is an American non-profit organization, co-founded by talk show host and writer Dennis Prager, that creates videos on various political, economic and philosophical topics from a conservative or right-wing perspective.

    Then you have this one
    https://climate.nasa.gov/

    Ok so we got Prager.. then we got NASA, you will excuse me if I trust NASA more than a group started by talk show host.

    Do you even know who Svante Arrhenius is? Why would you when you got Prager U LMAO. They can tell you anything you want to believe. This conspiracy started a long time ago huh...the long con. Jesus you are gullible.

    You find JFK's killer yet? The set where they faked the moon landing? Proof the earth is flat?

  9. For a scientist, he spends little time on the data except mostly to say there are many variables. A scientist’s job is to systematically go through each variable and draw a conclusion. This scientist might as well say “It’s so complicated and hard, I give up”!

    The evidence for global warming is overwhelming. It is not even close. If it were not for the near solar minimum we are experiencing right now, climate deniers would be keeping their mouth shut for fear of institutionalization.

    Please stop denying the obvious. Republican’s need to reverse course on this position because independents are more likely to support Democrats because of this.

    And that would be a climate change I don’t want to contemplate.

    If the discussion revolves around keeping the earth clean, clean water, habitat protection, etc. then everyone would fall behind such efforts. No one wants to be the slob throwing his trash everywhere.

    But if you’re going to throw out extraordinary claims of death and destruction with unsettled science to back it up and your answer is to tax everyone..... please.

    Change your business model from the chicken little approach and you’ll find more climb on board.
