FC, you're fighting the good fight. But unless and until these guys lose their loved ones, their homes or their livelihoods to extreme and unprecedented weather conditions, it will all remain a joke to them. Nothing else will change their mind. I applaud your efforts here, but I feel bad because you will not get anywhere. I suggest some therapeutic drive-by posts to settle the nerves. Works for me.
So you must think that every climate scientist and relevant science organization on earth are all Leftists. Amazing how science is now a leftist thing. Here read this link....https://climate.nasa.gov/scientific-consensus/ And no the narrative has NOT changed to global cooling at all. Only the misinformed ( Fox News watchers) think that.
Well thanks Fred. I know. What's sad is the level of tribalism that occurs. The other tribe can never be right about anything, because, well, they are the enemy. The true enemy of mankind - but they don't think in those terms - is ignorance.
This is shocking. I am shocked. Nobody could have seen this coming. Who knew that geothermal heat can melt ice? Many of us here have been making this point for years. Scientist haven't even quantified melting due to geothermal activity. However, retards like Fraudcurrents have been stating for years it is all due to CO2. https://www.sciencealert.com/a-mysterious-geothermal-heat-source-is-melting-antarctica-from-below When it comes to measuring ice loss at the poles, and predicting what might happen next, scientists need as much accurate data as they can get – and a new study suggests there's a big source of geothermal heat underneath East Antarctica that we haven't yet factored into our calculations. It's not the only newly discovered source of heat under Antarctica either. A study published last year suggests an extensive amount of underground heating is going on in West Antarctica too, perhaps melting ice faster than it can accumulate. As geothermal heat sources such as the newly identified one have likely been around for a long, long time, we're not off the hook when it comes to causing accelerated ice melt at the North and South Poles.
You continue to misunderstand. Even if you accept and affirm that man is affecting climate -- and that is still very much undecided as long the word "significantly" is inserted before "affecting", you have contributed nothing to our understanding of the science. As I have said, though it fell on your deaf ears, even if your assertion were true, you couldn't do anything about it other than by blind chance and guessing, if you did not understand the mechanism by which man affects climate. And you clearly do not. You think it is man's emission of CO2, that is causing climate change, despite climate having been changing for millions of years, sometime dramatically, and not always in the same direction nor in consort with CO2, and long before man could possibly have been the cause. In our Present world rising CO2 could conceivably be the cause of rising temperature, but that hypothesis has by now been tested and thoroughly disproved. So, if you want to contribute anything of value , why not suggest an alternate hypothesis that can also be tested in the same way the CO2 hypothesis was tested. Sadly for those who had let the CO2 hypothesis become their religion, that hypothesis, also known as Hansen's hypothesis, had to be rejected on purely scientific grounds.
As expected, not a single reference to a single quote from a single publishing climate scientist denying or even questioning in a significant way man made global warming. Just a yuge pile of unsubstantiated hot air and completely erroneous assertions. It's truly amazing. So which think tank do you work for ? You are the classic Trojan Horse disinformer. Get likes from the liberals, get acceptance, and then jump out of the horse and attack. It's the most likely explanation for your bipolar behavior. You are so off base full of shit that it's not even funny. Classic think tank trojan horse disinformation. Did you do tobacco also? Get back to us once you have supplied the above quote from just one scientist. Until then STFU . We already know that when directly asked 97% agree and the other three percent work for the oil industry. The consensus is actually 100%. None deny it. And you know it you fucking liar.
It is possible man is affecting climate, but it is clearly not via our CO2 emission. Nevertheless, for other reasons, we should explore alternative sources of energy.
No problem researching alternative fuels, especially since we will run out of oil one day. --but I think it silly to think that CO2 emissions are causing any disruption to the climate. The sun affects the climate.
In addition, I believe that when folks try to put forth that they can control the climate, what they really mean is that they can control you.
