I don’t debate global warming..I mean clinlmate change.. as much as I mock the leftist scheme to once again tax and or control humankind.

Back in HS, a long time ago, I had a very smart Biology teacher who said, ‘Any true scientist will tell you in science you never say never and you never say always. New facts can be found at anytime that challenge conventional wisdom’. I have never forgotten that.

Only because he refused to sign that Paris climate change treaty or whatever it was.

Just watched msnbc. This last hurricane was because of global warming. They said we only have 12 years left or else we can’t change it anymore.

By then I will be 72 and can’t afford to move south to warmer weather so if Minnesota turns tropical I’m good with that, tired of shoveling snow anyhow.

Earth is always changing and it will keep do so after all humans are gone it’s not a set model.

There is no science in the Climate Change debate because the Scientific Method can’t be used to study it. That’s why there are computer models.

It’s not possible to test a theory of Climate Change because there is no way to have a control to test against. It’s a joke.

I hate what those dam wind towers are doing. Creating global warming by slowing down the winds.

“Only because he refused to sign that Paris climate change treaty or whatever it was.”

I love the way Euros sign these agreements at the drop of a hat. They have figured out that it works fine to sign and then never hit a target. But you signed, and that makes you golden.

The Earth has warmed somewhat since the Little Ice Age (LIA), which ran from about 1650 to 1850. As Earth is want to do. But there has been little to no warming over the past 20 years.

Almost all authoritative datasets have been manipulated corruptly to “erase the pause,” by “adjusting” older temperatures down. It’s to the point that feal climatologists won’t even use them anymore.

Best recent set is sattelite data from UA Huntsville. It shows the definite pause.

Best site on the net, for actual no bs climatology is Watts Up With That (.com), run by Anthony Watts. It’s heavy on science, so be warned lol. Been lurking there for years.

“The global warming isn’t real for the time period claimed, which is the past 125 years.”

Actually, it has, just not recently. We’re currently in a pause, due to lack of sunspots. Remember, we had the Little Ice Age, which ended mid 1800’s. Earth warmed since, but not because of CO2.

"If it wasn’t for global warming, Chicago would still be under a mile of ice."

That is true, courtesy of Milankovitch cycles.

The absolutely rock-solid science of global warming is that extra CO2 in the atmosphere - which is largely from human activity - is causing some global warming. The crux of the matter is, "how much?". There is a huge difference between 3C by 2100, and 0.5C. It definitely seems to me that panic is not justified at this time. It is also mainstream scientific thought that the next Ice Age is now not going to happen, which would be a huge win for humanity and life as a whole.

I think market forces are going to drastically impact how much fossil fuel is burned going forward. In the meantime, I believe a push towards replacing coal-fired electric generation worldwide with nuclear generation is simple commonsense. Coal power has major downsides beyond producing CO2, namely pollution (particulates, mercury etc.), ash waste, and the environmental impact of coal mining.

The various companies working on small modular reactors (SMRs) have designs that are extremely safe, can be mass-produced, and in many cases don't require water cooling. They will provide electricity for less than ten cents per KWH, perhaps as cheap as three to five cents.

Each kilogram of nuclear fuel (uranium or thorium) provides as much energy as one million kilograms (one thousand tons) of coal. It is beyond foolish to not take advantage of such a cheap, plentiful source of clean, reliable power.

For unbiased information on global warming, I recommend Dr. Roy Spencer's site (http://drroyspencer.com). He is a non-alarmist atmospheric physicist, who's been labeled a "denier" by the alarmists - despite his agreement with the basic (undisputed) science of greenhouse gasses.

If Minnesota (by then known as New Somalia) turns tropical the residents will be overjoyed.

big massive article in local paper this am abotu how climate change is threatening our local area- pine martins, fischers, birds, all at risk because they are ‘cold climate species’- funny how they all survived the great melting of the ice age- and funny how they all survived much warmer temps in the past when the planet was young and the climates were warmer-

What scientists are actually saying is this “We love our cold weather species, that have migrated here, and don’t want to see them leave for some other part of the planet due to climate change, so we must alter natural cyclical warming trends in order to pervert the natural way of things so that we can keep the animals we want and get rid of the ones we don’t

climates change, species migrate- always have always will- but science and liberals want to bastardize the natural process of life by mucking with climate (funny thing is though- no amount of attempted mucking will result in changing it one iota- and they know this- they KNOW that climate change is NOT due to CO2- but climate change agenda is NOT about facts, but about manipulating emotions in order to commit the world to poverty so that governments can swim in money and control the masses- period! Science is NOT o n their side- hyperbole and thievery is

True dat. Everyday I go see my son at a hospital in the center of Little Mogadishu. Those skinnies don’t like the cold but they stay for the free stuff.
