So much for Global Warming

  1. The only argument I have seen on this board is that it is freezing outside so there is no global warming.

    That is the logic of a 5 year old. Many of you keep repeated the same logic.

    I have made NO claim about global warming. Those of you that have saying it is a myth have simply said it is cold outside today.

    WOW....hope you kept the receipt on that college education.

    This is by far the most intelligent stance for anyone not a scientist who can not read and understand the primary literature. The last thing you would want to do is to buy into whatever the media tells you.

  3. MY POINT is people are making comments, including TRUMP, that because it is cold outside no global warming.

    OK imagine Hillary won and in July 2018 she tweeted:

    "Record Heat Wave Across the Globe, global warming is real!"

    Fox News would shit their pants over the stupidity of the claim based on that evidence.

    ALSO....while North America is freezing...AUSTRALIA is having record heat. Another way a child can refute that argument.

    So the logic being espoused by Trump and many here is so fucking stupid I am embarrassed they are continuing to push it.

    Are we seeing seeing real scientific arguments or propaganda?

    How come tress don't agree with AGW Nutters? Doesn't the idea that trees all of a sudden broke as a temperature record merit massive skepticism from thinking people?

  9. Or literally every publishing climate scientist on earth and common sense and basic logic. It's apparent that you have severe brain damage in those areas or are working for a think tank.

    Maybe you missed this. LOL

  10. Hey piehole, jerm, you guys know about this....??

    In fact, as has been well documented, the industry spent decades pushing misleading and deceptive science and advertisements to claim nicotine wasn’t addictive, and that there wasn’t a risk of cancer from smoking cigarettes or from being exposed to second-hand smoke. This is despite the industry knowing its products caused cancer since the 1950s.

    The tobacco industry’s tactics became known as the “tobacco playbook” — a strategy best captured in one industry memo from 1969 that has become infamous for stating, “Doubt is our product.”

    “Doubt is our product since it is the best means of competing with the ‘body of fact’ that exists in the mind of the general product. It is also the means of establishing a controversy,” the memo reads.

    If this strategy sounds familiar, it’s because the fossil fuel industry put it into use a couple decades later.

    As investigations by InsideClimate News and the Los Angeles Times revealed in 2015, ExxonMobil knew for decades about the damaging impact of burning fossil fuels — specifically, that its product would cause greenhouse gas emissions to rise and with it, global temperatures.

    In fact, according to documents uncovered by DeSmogBlog, the oil giant knew as far back as the late 1970s that “there is no doubt” increasing the use of fossil fuels would increase carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

    At the same time, Exxon, along with other fossil fuel giants like Koch Industries and Peabody Energy, have spent millions of dollars in their efforts to promote climate science denial to the general public and to policymakers.
