So long...farewell....it was nice knowing you.

The world is always in flux. That is normal. It is childish and irrational to think otherwise and mentally ill to think that man can change that.

Absolutely. Gives no meaning to ‘commie plot’. Then there is the useful idiots who carry their water.

‘new meaning’. Not ‘no meaning’

“may” is the operative word

However, “may” is usually used to indicate something which has a respectable degree of likelihood. It may rain tomorrow, for example.

I may inherit a billion dollars.

I feel better already.

In 1974 the movie Soylent Green came out. In the movie the oceans are dead. It was set in 2022 so we only have TWO years left!

What if the AIDS virus mutates and becomes airborne, it will pretty much wipe out humanity. So we don’t need to worry about climate change or anything else.

Not sure even that would do it.

The ash cloud would block the sun light and the earth would then cool. Not that it would matter because we would all be dead.

“If we stick to the Paris Agreement to combat climate change, we may lose fewer than two out of every 10 plant and animal species on Earth by 2070.”

LOL. You guys better catch up. The USA has reduced CO2 output more than any industrialized nation without the Honda Accord.

I seem to recall that there was once a ‘year without a Summer’.

We survived it; and I don’t think a little extra CO2 will cause anything close to that; it seems to me it will just create a greater abundance of green stuff for all the critters to eat.

Last month was the hottest January in the 141 years of climate record-keeping history,

That right there is a big misrepresentation of the facts.

In truth climate record keeping began at the earliest 40 years ago.

The reality of 140 years ago there would have been at most a few hundred weather stations that kept detailed daily data. That data would have been almost strictly surface temperature data.

Ocean temperatures would be rare indeed.

Polar temperatures would be even more rare.

This article is pure fabrication and propaganda.

Sorry Climate Warmist, the truth is that Climate Science is still in its infancy.

Ummm, so would more species be extinct in a WARMING world or a COOLING world?

And how many species went extinct in previous Ice Ages?

Of course they fail to mention that out of every single country on earth, the US alone is the only country that not only has met, but exceeded the targeted CO2 emissions, and we are not only not signatories, but are not even trying

Thanks only to electing the stupidest man to ever be president, TWICE!

The president who waged war on COAL.

As the president of the country that has the greatest coal reserves in the world that seems extraordinarily stupid.

Geologist know we had river beds in the Sahara, North Pole rocks at the equator (pushed by ice), Mediterranean Sea dried up several times, land bridges to the British Isle, Japan and between Asia and North Americans.

I’m not listening to these people until they can explain why these thing occurred.

This is nothing but global redistribution of wealth and control.

A good start for these watermelons to save the planet is to commit mass suicide. Maybe they should drink some cyanide kool ade.

If ONLY we gave the government huge sums of money to spread around, we can be saved!
