Ques: What should the temperature of the earth be at any point on its surface at any point in time.
Ans: It has been and will always be an unknown.
And here I thought Trofim Denisovitch Lysenko was dead. Clearly, he has risen from the grave.
Why is socialism such a scam?
How is CAGW different from Marxism?
How are Climate “Scientists” not on government welfare?
The NYT does fail to disseminate its knee-jerk, communist propaganda. The answers to these questions range from the ingenuous to the outright false.
What a pack of propaganda and lies. “Virtually every country agreed to limit emissions” Well, yeah, except for China and India, the two biggest polluters on the planet. And they forgot that part about us paying $3 Trillion extortion money to 3rd world dictators’ private slush fund.
And I loved the “what can I do about it” question. How about “tell 50 of your friends to demand that Algore, Leonardo Dicrapio, John F’n Kerry and Barack Hussein 0bama personally live a lifestyle that they expect all of the rest of us serfs to live.”
Where does it come from?
How many trees are utilized in printing the NYT? What is the impact on the environment in cutting those trees down?
Really? Pick a nearby city/town but at a slightly lower elevation or a little bit south, so that their temperatures are typically two degrees warmer than yours. Would it be a disaster if your town "suddenly" (over a century or so) transitioned to their climate.

Here’s to Herr Goebbles.
His spirit lives among leftists, Democrats, Progressives, communists, socialists and every other type of psychotic that ever roamed the earth.
IMHO
How much job loss is there in the mandatory switch to renewable energy? Is this as misguided as the previous opposition to nuclear, which has suddenly been embraced as green, carbon-free energy?
This is what passes for answers in the climate hoax. Vague declaratives with no evidence to back them up, or rhetorical evasions so transparent Helen Keller could read through them.
If only they had the honesty to include all climate research instead of cherry-pick the research that supports their agenda they may have included this
18. Why the switch to a goal of limiting warming to 1.5 degrees after almost 30 years of alarm over 2 degrees?
Because the IPPC’s last report said we may not reach 2 degrees and many peer-reviewed observational studies said we will not reach 2 degrees. This science comes from our gold standards (IPCC & peer review) so we can’t blame it on deniers. It’s hard to cause hysteria about something that’s not likely to happen (tho we try our best) so the danger value had to be adjusted to what science says may happen in order to save the planet. It’s a problem that is likely to get more difficult as the years go by. So avoid science (even the IPPC and peer reviews) and come to the NYT for an explanation of what the science means rather than what it says.
Question for the Slimes:
Science uses the scientific method.
Climate “science” uses computer models.
Computer models are not science.
Why don’t you believe in science?
This one is true - surprising with NYT. I might even consider one in 5-10 years. Maybe. If they are a better product and not just an expensive way to virtue signal.
Now that is how you do satire.
Maybe this author should stick to writing about things he actually knows about. This isn’t it.
I’m glad to see that they are addressing the science behind it. Is it happening? Yes! How do we know? Because I said so. WOW, nailed the science. Glad they educated me.
“5. Could natural factors be the cause of the warming?
Nope”
One hopes that even the lightly rational among us see the idiocy of that.
But, since Hussein got elected, my hopes are pretty low.
17 often-asked questions with CORRECT & straightforward answers.
1. Climate change? Global warming? What do we call it?
How about “mass hysteria”?, as climate always changes and is therefore non-specific, and there’s been no significant global warming in 14+ years.
2. How much is the Earth heating up?
Much less than pseudo-scientists predicted. When compared to Earth’s temperature history, we’re still well below average, as we continue the emergence from the “Little Ice Age”.
3. What is the greenhouse effect?
It’s a scare-mongering term meant to fool useful idiots into blindly supporting politicians that worship at the alter of climate change.
4. How do we know humans are responsible for the increase in carbon dioxide?
We don’t, but nothing like a good guilt-trip to get impressionable young people into the militant ranks of the socialist-parties around the globe. (and don’t get me started on the disconnect between carbon dioxide levels and historical working periods.)
5. Could natural factors be the cause of the warming?
Yes, they are almost certainly responsible for the vast majority of all warming that is occurring.
6. Why do people deny the science of climate change?
It really is the great unknown as to why so many Dem/socialists ignore the science that IS there, and present theory as scientific fact. Cognitive dissonance seems the most likely explanation.
7. How much trouble are we in?
Trick question! As a people and a planet? We’re in trouble only to the extent we continue to elect socialist politicians promoting a climate-change agenda to enact their new world order, and extinguish the fire of capitalism.
8. How much should I worry about climate change affecting me? That can only be answered at an individual level. For example, do you have other irrational fears, such as being killed by an asteroid?
9. How much will the seas rise?
In our lifetime, plus the lifetimes of our children’s, children’s, children, a nearly imperceptible amount. We still have a VERY long way before the oceans are once again in Death Valley, California or the Jersey pine-barrens.
10. Is recent crazy weather tied to climate change?
Another trick questions! ALL weather is related to climate. The climate is always changing. Ergo, the recent weather IS related to climate changes. But that doesn’t make it “crazy”.
11. Are there any realistic solutions?
Yes - stop electing these irrational fear mongers, and stop subscribing to the NY Times. Eventually they’ll die off, like the dinosaurs.
12. What is the Paris Agreement?
It’s an agreement among many of the world’s nations to retard the strength and growth of the USA by making us adhere to requirements that they themselves aren’t required to, or don’t intend to adhere to. It does this while ignoring the most populous nations that are also the worst polluters (e.g. - China, India, Russia). Think of it as an Olympic committee that expects Michael Phelps to swim with ankle-weights, while the other athletes get scuba fins - that we pay for.
13. Does clean energy help or hurt the economy?
To the extent it is more costly than alternatives, as used by our global economic competitors, it is hurtful. All else being equal, of course clean energy sources are preferred over less clean sources.
14. What about fracking or ‘clean coal’?
Energy requires an “all of the above” strategy, if for no other reason than diversification.
15. What’s the latest with electric cars?
Cute little things, aren’t they? Let me know when that all-electric plane or 18-wheeler is successful.
16. What are carbon taxes, carbon trading?
Wealth transfer from the successful, capitalist, and free societies to failed socialist and quasi-socialist nations and causes.
17. Climate change seems so overwhelming. What can I do about it? Turn off ABC/CBS/NBC/CNN/MSNBC/PBS, cancel your subscriptions to NYT, New Yorker, Mother Jones, WaPo, and stay away from popular social-media sites like Facebook, where there are way more sheep than shepherds. You’ll feel better in no time!
