If global warming were science, there would be a lot of papers showing its deleterious effects, and also some (but fewer) showing its beneficial effects. And then scientists would say: look the harms of global warming outweigh the benefits: we need to do something.
But take anything good that you can think of (like oysters) and google “Gloabl warming impact on ... “ and you’ll find paper showing that global warming makes that thing smaller and more rare. On the other hand take anything bad (hurricanes) and google that and you’ll find global warming makes them bigger and more common.
So lots of papers get published showing the harms and none showing the benefits. That’s not a science that’s an orthodoxy, a pseudo religion.
And a religion may be true or false, but whether it’s true or false, you’ll find “consensus” around it.
I’m 75 years of age. I’ve been on the Bay since I was 5. If global warming, ice cap and glacier melting is true, why have I seen no sign of this anywhere in the Chesapeake? There’s been no changes at any of the markers, inlets, landings, docks, beaches or other places. From the Nansmond to the Susquehanna, from Richmond to Chincoteague the only cranes are those brought on by natural tides. Those so-called experts aren’t out here living it.
