The earth has a history of climate variations, the great ice age comes to mind. Next all that ice melted all by itself.
Climate change is not a phony issue. It is reality and few dispute it. But liberals are wrong to assert it is human-caused. That is only a theory and only time will tell if it is true. Factually, we are in the most mild period ever climatically. Ice core evidence shows that before the modern era, climate change was swift and violent, causing animal extinctions and death to some groups of peoples who were not adapted, such as the Christian Viking settlers in Canada. I really don't see how either side can assert where climate change comes from. I am fairly certain that if we do have an effect, it is minimal, compared to nature. Liberals give humans way too much credit for naturally occurring things.
How does someone so bereft of intellectual ability rise to the prominence of U.S. senator?
And HOW in the world as a Republican? (She'd make a great pea brained democrat hack from California ala Barbara Boxer.)
AKA a SWAG.
"Scientific Wild Ass Guess"
You forgot to include the barf alert.
I believe you are correct. I agree with you.
And disrupt traffic along with the possibility the jumper could kill or injure motorists? I think not.
They can't do anything about it. Even seeding clouds is a gamble. If anybody buys their assertion that we must do something about it, that person must also buy the proposition that we can do something about it and even that we might have an idea what to do. The Weather Bureau tells us it is going to snow an inch. It is already snowing, of course, so they are not looking impossibly far into the future. By morning there is 6" on the ground. My dog suggests we counter this tragedy by purchasing another bale of straw for his kennel and let the climatologists go do whatever seems to amuse themselves, but that politicians may drift into demagoguery just to attain and retain power.
I am not sure what your point was. You say it is not a phoney issue, then go on to explain why it is a phoney issue.
You're right.
We're doomed to listen to these ijits rantings ad nauseam.
They're all like spoiled six year old kids
(no offense to six year old kids meant)
I remember talking with one of these wacko jobs with a PHD in weather changes. He told me that the Egyptians and the Romans created the Sahara desert.
SWAG, that's a good one - I like it :-)
I sure hope it warms up soon. My motorcycles are looking very lonely in the garage.
I understand what he said. But the whole reason it is a phoney issue is that we are headed towards castrophy because of man driving his SUV. I never said the climate was not changing, I just said the issue was phoney. The climate always changes.
No, what unites these Americans is
1. A belief in leftwing policies including climate and socialism. A belief that they are superior and of higher intellect because they believe each other.
2. A total lack of understanding of the use of computer models in climate predictions, a misunderstanding of the chaos of climate change and the small (if nonexistant) effect played long term by man.
Good then you two are in agreement.
Hey Phosgood, maybe Charles First will dust off his old manifesto about that "Friendly Planet" that will rescue us. Sounds like these gloom and doom libs could use a little reassuring.
BTW since when does having a few RINOs from Maine on board constitute a diverse group of people?
