A simple test for anyone’s sincerity about man-made global warming: ask them on their views of immigration to the United States (or other Western developed countries).
Only about 20 percent of the immigrants to the United States in any year are from Western developed countries. The majority come from less developed countries. Each of the 80 percent comes from places where they have no, low, or a modest carbon footprint. They don’t come the US to “step gently on this Earth,” they come to live large. The majority of immigrants to the US will greatly increase their carbon footprint compared to their home country.
Even those from Mexico, not a poor country by World standards, just poorer than its neighbor, will increase their carbon footprint by three to four times. For many of the other sending countries the multiple is even larger.
If the global warmist does not want to talk of such things they are probably not sincere or at least have not thought about it deeply.
” global warmist “. Should be warmUNISTS. In addition, a simple answer session with the following questions. Of course you could add some of your own questions and, wear safety equipment in case some are overloaded to the point of their heads popping.:
1. Define the “correct” temperature range for the planet.
2. Define the “correct” humidity range for the planet.
3. Define the “correct” mean sea level for the planet’
4. Define the “correct” amount of precipitation for the planet.
5. Define the “correct” makeup of the atmosphere.
6. Define the “correct” amount of sea ice at the N/S poles.
7. Define/explain past glaciation and subsequent warming without any input from humans.
