The day I tasted climate change

That's a shame, bullshit can't taste very good. OTOH, libs are constantly feeding the rest of us a crap sandwich, so maybe it's good you get to experience it for yourself.

I’ve long understood that the dangers of global warming are real and rising. I’ve seen its power firsthand in the form of receding glaciers, dried lake beds, and Sierra tree stands taken down by bark beetles.

I live about 15 miles north of a glacier in the Sierra and have not seen any form of receding. Must be a glacier near Berkeley :sarc>

Ping.

“...I’ll believe in Anthropogenic Climate Change when...”

...when at least one of the dozens of “models” can be initialized with the 1950 climate and produce the 1960 climate and continue through 2000.

Currently they’re 0 for dozens.

“Global warming. Is there anything it can’t do?”
/ Homer Simpson voice.

You mean to say it’s as powerful as BEER???

[HartleyMBaldwin]

“I truly hate non-thinkers!!”

Well, yeah. That’s just a no-brainer.

[Red Badger]

Good Point.

If it cannot predict the past that is known, then it’s useless to predict the future which is unknown..................

Global warming will get personal for me when some rich leftist sells me their beachfront property for dirt cheap.

Climate change doesn’t ignite wildfires, but it’s intensifying the hot, dry summer conditions that have helped fuel some of California’s deadliest and most destructive fires in recent years.

BS. It isn't "climate change" making these recent fires worse - it is {expletive}-poor environmental management policies. So-called environmentalists push short-sighted, ill-conceived, poorly-researched policies and positions. So-called "leaders" are ill-informed and egotistical enough to sign up for them, proclaiming all the good they are doing for the environment...

Mankind knows virtually nothing about how to manage the environment. We simply do not understand all the interactions even on the relatively small scale of a few forests, let alone on a continental scale or global scale. This is one of the reasons I thank {Diety} every day that we lack the technology to try to control or manage the climate - we are demonstrably terrible at it at every scale above your average golf course. We would no-doubt kill ourselves in short order if we had the means to "manage" the climate on a global scale.

Holy sheep sh!t.

We didn’t have gale-force winds before Al Gore ‘discovered’ global warming. No hurricanes either.

[Osage Orange]

Berserk..Berkeley moron.

"There’s no solving climate change any longer. There’s only living with it and doing everything in our power to limit the damage."

Good, now we can stop funding all GW research and solutions. We will adapt or die. My guess is that self-sufficient people will thrive and dependent people will cower in fear and wait for death from GW to come.

Global warming creates desperate media lies

The New York Times has published a misleading article claiming global warming is largely responsible for unauthorized immigrants entering the U.S. from Central America. The article, titled “A Warming World Creates Desperate People,” alleges global warming is causing crop failures in Central America, which in turn has forced people to flee north to the U.S. In reality, global and Central American crop production is at record levels. The true lesson from The New York Times’ article is a beneficial climate creates desperate media lies.

Recall that for Californians, “Global” is the southern half of the state, about 100 miles inland to the coast.

And during the fires, yes it warmed.

But this guy couldn’t breathe right ? I’d say it’s time to hit the road for a while.

[Eagles6]

No. All I needed was"outside my door in Berkeley".

Obliviously[sic, totally sic] a series scientific publication:

[AppyPappy]

Because there has never been a wildfire in California before now
