The climate has been changing for billions of years.
I’m pretty sure it will continue to change even if we raise taxes to stop it.
I read the article.
They are citing either cooked stats or anecdotal observations in the case of sea-level rise without any historical comp[arisons
Well it is kinda warm today for December 24th, so everything must be true. When it went to single digits a month ago, I was in denial. I think I’m somewhat Bi-Polar..
“I think Im somewhat Bi-Polar..”
Oh yeah, you say that now,...
And of course they attribute every extreme weather event to climate change or ‘weather disasters’.
Well it did get hot in Texas last summer (had to use my air conditioning), so at least they got that one right.
I think the accepted term now is “climate fluid.” You’re willing to accept that the weather may identify as summer or winter or something in between on any given day.
LOL now. Go f**k yourself later. Unless the pills work. Then have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Got as far as that...
LOL. Will do, or not.
I *HATE* being bi-polar, it’s *AWESOME*!
From the article: “Carbon dioxide is the greenhouse gas that scientists say is most responsible for global warming.”
I’m pretty sure when I was taking my classes at the local college not too long after 2000, that my instructor, a scientist, said water vapor was the most important greenhouse gas.
And when I was a teen, they were expecting the ice caps to have extended to North Texas, as least. That was in the 70’s.
I believe there are some things missing from their models, and some aspects of the real world do not match other parts they think are perfectly congruent.
Me too! It was the best of times and the worst of times.Charlie Dickens said it best. Was Scrooge Bi-polar? OMG. Doesn't that change the whole message. I think I need more pills.
We should listen to USA Today. 7000 years ago, they warned us that the sea level was rising. James Hansen kind of missed his prediction, though:
“An ancient village off the coast of Israel used boulders to build a wall thousands of years ago to protect its homes from rising sea levels the move was unsuccessful, according to a study published Wednesday.
“The study is notable in that the settlement, called Tel Hreiz, existed before modern industry, one of the key drivers of global warming, scientists said. Researchers behind the study said the discovery of the worlds oldest sea wall shows that humans have long dealt with climate change.
Its the worlds oldest sea wall, Jonathan Benjamin, a marine archaeologist at Flinders University in Australia, told reporters. Its the first evidence of that very real problem that were dealing with today. He and his co-authors are behind the archaeological study, published on PLOS One.
“Benjamin said Tel Hreiz was dealing with the aftermath of the ice age rather than man-made climate change. They went to great lengths to protect their home, he added. (RELATED: 2018 Saw A Global Revolt Against Climate Change Policies)
Other researchers remarked about the labor intensive nature of moving the boulders into position.
“These people understood that they had to put huge boulders down there, not little stones. They were clearly thinking ahead, that they wanted this wall to last, Marie Jackson, a geology professor at the University of Utah, who did not work on the study.
“This is a really dynamic sea coast. Without these walls, there would have been little protection, Jackson added. The size and weight of those boulders are stupendous and speaks to the intent of the builders to make something, to build a wall, that had longevity and usefulness.
“Tel Hreiz was roughly 2.5 meters above sea level at the time of the walls construction. The Mediterranean Sea slowly came up the north coast of Israel at about 4 millimeters per year between 9,000 and 7,000 years ago, according to the researchers. Waves slowly crushed the wall, year after year, they said.
“Global average sea level has risen 7 inches since 1900, or about the thickness of two pennies every year. Still, some scientists and activists say sea level rise could be devastating if warm temperatures cause the worlds glaciers and ice sheets to melt.
“Former NASA head climate scientist James Hansen, for instance, warned in 1988 that New York Citys West Side Highway would be underwater within two decades. Hansen, for his part, warned in 2017 that the planet could become practically ungovernable from sea level rise due to melting ice forcing millions of people to flee coastal cities.”
The earth is bi-polar.

Not one climate change prediction made in the last 50 years has come true.
You want the truth? There it is.
ROFL Laz!
(Merry Christmas!)
Debating these creepozoids lowers one’s own IQ. There are sooo many ways to refute this Crap. Look up just how many temperature sensors are in the northern hemisphere, compared to the southern hemisphere.
