Guess that makes us Science Deniers, or something.


I proudly classify myself as an AGW denier. :)

“They also didn’t note that coal ash, the big thing they blamed for acid rain, is actually alkaline and not acidic.”

I’m an Engineer and worked for coal plants when the industry was much larger.

The acidity is actually caused by sulfur in the coal eventually creating sulfuric acid.

Acid is not a problem anymore because they use low-sulfur coal or SOx compounds are filtered. There is monitoring of the flue gas. Coal fly ash is also filtered nearly 100%.

We no longer breathe filthy coal dust or have acid rain because of environmental laws. When I left the industry, the stacks were crystal clear. I dont know about CO2 causing global warming but I definitely agreed with cleaning the air.

They are comical until the government gives them all our hard earned tax dollars, then the joke is on us.

I find it amazing that the verses in the bible that promise that there is no such thing as global warming are sealed with a sign, the rainbow. Satan and the Democrats reject the biblical teaching and steal the symbol of no global warming and turn it into a symbol of sodomy!

Gen: 8:21-partial “I will never again curse the ground for man’s sake, although the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; nor will I again destroy every living thing as I have done. 22 “While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, Cold and heat, Winter and summer, And day and night Shall not cease.”

Do we have the technology yet to dim the Sun?

Thanks for the warning. I better get out there and buy my dune buggy NOW before the demand skyrockets.

Golly gee Wally, whenever it floods you say it is because a warmed atmosphere can hold more water.

It's science. Water evaporates when it gets warm. If the earth gets warm, then all of our water will evaporate and blow off into space. Al Gore said so; it must be true.

My lawn is already a desert. It hasn’t rained in months.

Exactly. Since all of the oceans are dead and there is massive global starvation already I’m not concerned. No icecaps, either. They’ve been gone for a long time. But somehow before that we all froze to death. It all makes sense if you smoke enough medical marijuana!

Earth will become a DESERT by 2050 if global warming isn't stopped, claims latest study.When 2049 gets here, the desert thing won’t happen until 3000. LOL oops!

The hysterical, fake news industry permeates every segment of American society, substituting ignorance, indifference and fallacies for fact.
The result is misinformation and demagoguery resulting from conflating ignorant "feelings" and science.

Among the most important common subjects for the last few of decades are :

Alar.
DDT.
Acid Rain.
The Ozone "hole"
Rising Oceans.

Global Freezing.
Depletion of the world's petroleum supply.
Global Warming.
Climate Change.
Computer modeling relying on complex not clearly understood natural processes.

Charlatans and politicians who are considered "scientists" by self promotion, lacking the fundamentals of what science is.

Incidentally, when did "Climate Change" revert to "Global Warming?"
LOL!

And we’ll have to consider building a wall across the land bridge between Alaska and Russia.

How would that "reverse" so-called Global Warming/Climate Change?

Ha! Wouldn’t do squat about the climate - I mean it would be another route (other than Mexico) that illegals could enter the country. Like the first people that populated the Americas are theorized to have done 15,000 years ago.

I’m guessing that would be the least of our problems. Another glacial maximum would greatly reduce crop production, water would become scarce, etc. I imagine that if (when?) it happens it will lead to major worldwide wars to secure the last little bit of decent crop land.

Hmm - maybe it’s time to buy a little parcel in the Amazon?

Correction:

Earth will become a DESERT by 2050 IFglobal warming ever gets started.

It hasn't started so far --- and mankind's contribution to CO2 is -- by several orders of magnitude -- too minuscule to ever start it.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Whatta deal: getting paid big buck$ -- to dream up and predict dire results -- of lies about something nonexistent!!!
