Climate deniers are entitled to their own opinions, but not their own facts (barf)
The Hill ^ | Aug 27, 2023 | Glenn C. Altschuler

Republicans and their cable news allies are still hot and bothered about climate change. A few examples:

Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.) accused Climate Envoy John Kerry of being a “grifter,” trying to charge taxpayers “a quadrillion dollars to fix a problem that doesn’t exist.” Liberals don’t “really believe in global warming,” Tucker Carlson asserted, because “the entire theory is absurd and they know it.” “It’s, hot, hot, hot, all right,” Laura Ingraham told Fox News viewers. “After all, we’re in the middle of a season called ‘summer.’” Stronger hurricanes are “a fact of life in the Sunshine State,” declared Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. “I’ve always rejected the politicization of the weather.”

During a hearing of the House Science, Space and Technology Committee, Rep. Mo Brooks (R-S.C.) claimed that “Every time you have soil or rock or whatever it is deposited into the seas, that forces the sea levels to rise, because now you have less space in these oceans, because the bottom is moving up.” Former President Trump, who has frequently called climate change “a hoax,” recently opined that it “may affect us in 300 years.”

Not one Republican in Congress voted for the Biden administration’s bill to combat climate change. The percentage of rank-and-file Republicans who think global warming is caused by human activity has declined over the last two decades. These days, 70 percent of Republicans say climate change is a minor threat or no threat at all.

here is a brief summary of facts about climate change and its effect on the lives and livelihoods of all Americans:

2023 is likely to be the hottest year on record, and possibly the hottest in 100,000 years.

This year’s excessive heat has already resulted in 235,000 emergency room visits

A smart debater would begin his presentation with a couple of widely-accepted propositions, clearly true statements that would make you open to his later arguments. Not an outright lie.

This guy is not a smart debater.

“Assertions are not facts.”

If you make assertions and then call your opponents names then the assertions become facts!

“hottest in 100,000 years”

They know this because they have mastered time travel and brought their measurement kit with them.

The further away we get from believing in God’s all encompassing powers, the more we empower the Devil.

You can see the yearly global atmospheric CO2 fluctuation as the oceans warm and cool with the seasons in the NOAA graph below.

All the oceans warm in our summer and cool in our winter?

I don’t listen to leftists who have been alive less than 80 years lecturing me their theories about man-made climate change for a 5 billion year old planet when they can’t acknowledge the scientific facts (1) that abortion kills a human and (2) there are only two sexes - male and female.

There are three genders - masculine, feminine and neuter - used in certain languages that have nothing to do with XX and XY chromosomes.

They are science deniers, and their climate hoax is their religion. Else they would use scientific explanations, provide access to any and all to independently see “their data” and not use pejoratives against those who aren’t “as smart and as intelligent” as they are. Talk about trying to attract bees with vinegar .... they are tyrants.

Climate has always changed from the beginning. Otherwise the word wouldn’t exist.

Try using your brain instead of your infantile snark.

Let's do a thought experiment. I know, it's hard.

What would the graph look like if the measurements were taken in the Northern Hemisphere?

What would the graph look like if the measurements were taken in the Southern Hemisphere?

Get back to me when those two brain cells of yours have worked it out.

... The left is being handed a nicely timed political gift by Mother Nature this election cycle ..... Unfortunately for sceptics, these extreme events are about  to get even worse

....  Climate Change and Climate Change Denialism, will now become a huge election issue as these Climate events become MORE COMMON AND MORE EXTREME over the next few years as our Sun heads into what is now shaping up to be a rather unusually active and strong  Solar Maximum Cycle.

..... This new cycle  was originally predicted to start some time next year but has caught sun gazers by surprise and has started much earlier than expected. Of course Globull Warming Activist Scientists insist there is no correlation between Solar Activity and Earth's Climate Events ....

In 2018, noted Climate alarmist Michael Mann sued a Canadian climate scientist (and skeptic) Dr. Timothy Ball for defamation. Ball called Mann's work a fraud. Mann sued Ball. Ball, in discovery, requested Dr. Mann's data. Mann refused to give it to him. The case was dismissed.

If their 'facts' are so great, why the big secret?

No one is entitled to their own facts. Not even the left.

“...they have to resort to insults and lies in order to ‘win’ the argument”

One they probably created. But I guess many haven’t noticed that the way liberals present their point is a pattern. The tell you what it is, (anything), then destroy any discussion on the topic by breaking into another’s point of view forcibly stopping the flow of dialogue then insult the messenger by discrediting who the messenger is rather than the topic. And it ends up with the old mother army boots routine. This way only one theory comes to the surface, right or wrong, or even means anything. And way since it the only theory by process of pre-elimination, then it is correct. And if you disagree, keep your thoughts to yourself or I’ll pull your IRS records or have you hang yourself in your own cell.

This is what happens when you go public about your opinion. Just ask Jimmy Hoffa...if you can find him.

Here's a 'fact' Glenn:

NASA/JPL and ESA have already declared that the Jan. 2022 undersea eruption of the Tonga volcano in the S. Pacific, is responsible for blasting Trillions of gallons of water vapor into the atmosphere, as the cause for the current heat wave, which will take years to dissipate.

Water vapor comprises over 95% of greenhouse gases and this eruption added 10%-13% more vapor into the atmosphere. CO2 comprises less than 3.5% of greenhouse gases and is therefore incapable of overshadowing the impact of the water vapor.

Man's contribution to that 3.5% is pitiful, and has NO IMPACT on climate.

The LIE is simply a scare tactic to get the sheep to give up their freedom and let the Population Control FASCISTS control the world.

I doubt the truth of the global warming theory, but I have no doubt that the Leftists and Democratic politicians who promote it are a pack of scurvy liars, fools, and con men. Nor do I see mass emigrations of Leftists from low lying coast areas, which is a sign that most Leftists do not really believe the dire predictions of global warming and sea level rise.

The planet earth is gradually warming as it has done over the 100’s of glacial-tropical cycles in the past 2 billion years. The definition of an ice age means there is perma-ice at the poles. So techniclly the earth is in a cold/glacial period. Mankind’s contribution is almost nil.
