A Bad Day for Climate Change Deniers … And the Planet
TIME ^ | January 16, 2015 | by Jeffrey Kluger, Editor at Large

Posted on 01/16/2015 4:26:30 PM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

Three new studies offer new proof of how bad the earth's fever has gotten.

It’s not often that the climate change deniers get clobbered three times in just two days. But that’s what happened with the release of a trio of new studies that ought to serve as solid body blows to the fading but persistent fiction that human-mediated warming is somehow a hoax. Good news for the forces of reason, however, is bad news for the planet—especially the oceans.

“Today’s news is a clear and undeniable warning for all of us that we need to cut climate pollution and prepare for what’s coming,” said Lou Leonard, vice president for climate change at the World Wildlife Fund.

Ultimately, reason will prevail; in the long arc of scientific history it usually does. How much ocean and atmosphere and wildlife we’ll have left when that happens, however, is another matter entirely.

Do me a favor and make it stop freezing in Valley Forge, please. These so-called predictions suck. And no, I am not impressed with claiming after the fact.

Nobody with half a brain denies “climate change.”

Everybody with half a brain denies unproven allegations of “MANMADE” climate change.

PS PS

We pay for this twaddle.

The NASA Climate group has a rather lovely website making their case.

None of the usual objections are entertained on this website, although it does have a FAQ section which links to....TIME magazine!

How scientific, huh?

Plus predictions have been off a number of times, an people keep making new ones rather than talk about where and why they were off.

Cut pollution! Pollution is nasty and dangerous.

But carbon dioxide is about as far from pollution as any substance known to man. It's an absolutely critical component of an eco-system that sustains life as we know it, as important as oxygen and water.

And don't sweat the climatic swings - they've been going on for billions of years and there is nothing you can do to stop it, nor would any sane person want to.

Dear Jeffery, I’m not gonna read your stupid article. You see, back in 1977, Time magazine was asking, on the front page no less, how we would survive the coming ice age.

If you walk outside during the daytime, and look up at that big bright yellow light in the sky, you will see what controls 99.9% of our temperature on this planet.

We KNOW that the sun varies in it’s intensity by a few percent.

And don’t forget the volcanoes.

SO leave your liberal claptrap at home and leave me alone.

Yes Jeff Kluger, 2014 was indeed the hottest year EVAH. I remember walking out on my patio and watching the neighbor's dog experience spontaneous combustion. The horror. the horror. Next, the roof on my house began to melt and liquid asphalt began to drip down the gutters, leaving an oily mess which contaminated the groundwater, and left a flammable residue which made it through the plumbing. After my morning constitutional in the bathroom, the combination of noxious, toxic gasses and a spark in my heating system caused an electric arc which totally destroyed the back third of my home. Luckily for me, it was covered by insurance, but the deductible is an out of pocket expense for me.
The next thing I discovered was that the water in the aquarium had begun to boil furiously, and even though the tropical fish like the water on the warm side, they succumbed to this human mediated horror show. All this happened in 2014: no doubt the hottest year in the history of the world.

Lies lies lies all so a “scientist” can get his grant money, and Al Gore and the rest of the Al Sharptons of the environ-Nazi gang can cash in even more. Their whole “science” is based on trace gases, of which man contributes beyond a scintilla. For example, our first radical Muslim POTUS this week declared he will issue even more regulations against those evil gas and oil companies because of “Methane concerns”. The current percentage of methane in the earths atmosphere is 0.00017% or zero point zero zero zero. If you drank a glass of water that contained 0.00017% cyanide, you would live, wouldn’t even feel it, that’s how small that number is. Now try to imagine how much of that man contributes to. Think of how long man and agriculture, cattle raising has been around and we only got that number up to 0.00017%?? Same with CO2 which is another zero point zero gas, a trace gas at 0.04% which I would say is dangerously low because if it ever got to 0.02% life is finished on earth. Once the plants go we go. But the bottom line is man can no more change the composition of the earths atmosphere to any degree of consequence than he can piss in the ocean once and turn it yellow. It’s TOO VAST!
