Scientists tell Donald Trump: Climate change is real
Santa Cruz Sentinel ^ | 09/20/16 | Lisa M. Krieger

Scientists to Trump: Human-caused climate change is real — and don’t mess with the hard-won Paris Agreement.

That’s the message of a new letter co-drafted by a prominent Bay Area climate scientist and signed by 375 members of the prestigious National Academy of Sciences, including famed physicist Stephen Hawking, biologist E.O. Wilson and 30 Nobel Prize winners.

No doubt there are also 375 highly acclaimed scientists who will also declare climate change is a fraud.

Let’s see their letter.

The climate has been changing since the beginning of time, long before the advent of man, and will continue long after man goes the way of the dinosaur.

One thing these “geniuses” do seem to know: Trump’s going to win. Why else would they bother drafting up that letter?

There are many many more signatures by equally qualified scientists on a petition stating countering this. But, of course, the MSM is not exactly in the mensa class.

Libs like to nullify studies they do not like by pointing to e source of funding...e.g., big oil, big pharma, etc.

Now, what happens to a gubmit grant to a researcher who does not toe the line?

"Human-caused climate change is real"-- and, as always, totalitarian government with the 'right' people in charge is the answer.

Nuts to that.

Yes, we’re heading for a major global COOLING.We should be preparing and taking advantage of the supposed global warming. No, I am not kidding. Scientists with brains and NOT an agenda are saying so.

Let me repeat myself...

““Anyone who takes climate change seriously ....”

IS A FOOL!

Man made climate change (remember when it was “global warming?) could NOT be happening.

Humans are a pimple on the world’s azz.

“About 71 percent of the Earth’s surface is water-covered, and the oceans hold about 96.5 percent of all Earth’s water. Water also exists in the air as water vapor, in rivers and lakes, in icecaps and glaciers, in the ground as soil moisture and in aquifers, and even in you and your dog.May 2, 2016”
water.usgs.gov/edu/earthhowmuch.html

NO ONE LIVES THERE! (in the oceans)

“29% of Earth is land, and only 1% is occupied by humans.”

NO ONE LIVES THERE!

http://www.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_percentage_of_the_earth_is_inhabited_by_humans?#slide=2

“The percent” varies WILDLY depending on how you define it. They always want to put it in the worst light, in other words, make it seem HIGHER. For instance a road in the desert between two population centers would make the entire area between the two towns, considered “inhabited”. Farm crop land is considered occupied by humans.

Since man (humans) occupy such a MINUSCULE part of the earth, how in the world could they have a catastrophic effect on climate?

THEY CAN’T!!! They don’t have any “global” effect AT ALL!

You don’t need to be a “scientist” to understand this. It is COMMON SENSE.

I flew cross country (NY to CA) on a clear day. You know what per cent of human “occupation” (not farm fields, not empty roads, actual signs of occupation as in buildings) I saw from 35,000 feet? Mostly NONE!

Fields, deserts, wooded areas, a lot of oil wells. Human habitation (people)..... not so much.

Having established (proven) that man (humans) are such a tiny gnat of a presence on this planet, how in the world could we possibly “CHANGE” the global climate, even IF we wanted to?

We ABSOLUTELY can not. It is RIDICULOUS to the EXTREME to even THINK that we can.

Talk about “peeing in the ocean”... If all humans peed in the ocean at once, it wouldn’t make a bit of difference.

I don’t need to determine the volume of water in the ocean and the volume of human pee to know that the proportion is INSIGNIFICANT.

COMMON SENSE!

Let’s pretend that we reduced the amount of chlorine in the air by some tiny amount. You gave up driving your car and electricity, but we are supposedly “saving the planet”.

AND THEN Mount Pinatubo or Mount St. Helens erupts. Expelling 1,000,000 ( maybe 1,000,000,000) times more chlorine into the atmosphere than you had prevented.

WHAT HAVE YOU ACCOMPLISHED?

You have suffered, gone without important things, changed your entire standard of living,

FOR WHAT? Because of some “weatherman’s” say so?

WAKE UP AMERICA!

You are being LIED to. Your freedom is being taken away from you bit by bit.

VOTE TRUMP!

Just for fun... Worldwide earthquakes and Volcano eruptions for the past 47 years.

Of course climatechange is teal. Duh! Sometimes it gets warmer, and sometimes it gets cooler. The baldfaced lie is in saying that humans cause it; or that there is anything humans can do to about it.

Wow. I didn’t realize that Hawkings was a climatologist, too. Is there anything that he doesn’t know?

He does not know that he was made in the image of the God who loves him, who became a man to walk this Earth and die to save Stephen from his hubris and the rest of his Sin.

Let us know when China, India, Indonesia, and Russia are going to do something about their contribution to global warming. Then, and only then, will it be time for us to discuss this.

He should always call it “Global Warming” and say “you own that term. If you change it to some ambiguous nonsense name it makes my wall of disbelief just got 10 feet higher.”

But the “man made” part being significant compared to natural trends or inputs is mere theory.

Exactly! Yes, climate change is real and it’s been going on since the creation of our planet. I have yet to see any concrete evidence that man has altered the natural pattern.

Climate change is real ... and has been for around four billion years.

Funny it never occurs to these "scientists" that the most species diverse and heavily populated environments are around the planet's equator. Warm fosters life, cold kills it, and there is no such thing as a "normal" temperature.

Mr Trump should CALL THEIR BLUFF!!

Announce that since the Science is Settled, there will be NO MORE TAXPAYER FUNDING OF GLOBAL WARMING STUDIES. Effective the Day I am Sworn In.

He’ll put a solid team onto fact checking the issue and linking the money flows and associations, then go after the corruption, starting with little guys who will talk for immunity. Work it right up to EPA and Albert Arnold Gore, Jr.
