I heard Nye make a point that coastal areas will be inundated and that the interior of the U.S. will be flooded in a warming scenario.

That’s true. But you know what he left out? The polar areas will go from frozen wastelands to productive forests. Global temperatures will likely be more moderate as a result of increased evaporation and humidity.

We don’t have to wonder what global warming looks like. Here it is, in the Cretaceous, with NO polar ice at all and with flora and fauna populating Antarctica.

Global warming already happened—10 degrees by all accounts—and the results were not as dire as folks are making it out to be.

“Global warming already happened—10 degrees by all accounts—and the results were not as dire as folks are making it out to be.”

Who says it has risen 10 degrees? Is it the same group that designed the “hocky-stick graphs”? There is NO credible proof since the ones making the “historical records” are the one’s who actually believe that man is making “CLIMATE CHANGE!” Go ask the dinosaurs about it since they were here before man was able to “destroy” the earth’s climate.

...

Tucker asked the right question. To what degree have humans caused climate change? Another good question I like is what’s the optimum temperature?

Scientists have always called past periods of warming “optimums.”

Didn’t the last big warming trend create the scablands of the Columbia river?
