Yup. That's how politics works.

yup....

LOL wow... please tell me this isa joke.

seriously??? no, it is not....

if you don't understand how warming cycles help "life" survive, I can't add to that or help ya.....

Nobody disputes natural warming and cooling cycles but they happen very gradually over tens of thousands of years. Humans have put their finger on a finely tuned scale and there will be serious consequences.

We have 50/80 degree temp swings every 6 months. Not gradual at all. And we survive. And in fact do extremely better at the upper end of those yearly swings.

And people continue shaking in a corner over the thought of a fraction, a very very small fraction that may or may not materialize, of that over a century.

You worry over a very small increase over a century. I point out HUUUGE swings over a few months aren't as devastating as you believe the gradual small change would be. By all means, feel free to laugh if you feel your insanity warrants laughter.

What where you right about?

People who like to look down their noses at people for being skeptical of climate change tend to be the ones who oppose GMOs, vaccines, and nuclear power.

Skepticism of scientific consenses is not unique to the Republican side.

I don't oppose GMOs, I'm pro vaccine, and nuclear power. I also look down my nose at climate change deniers. Personally I feel that most people that deny science are either ignorant or partisan beyond reason.


Same here....I cant say though Ive ever met anyone that denies that the climate is changing.

So how do you explain past climate change before human activity? I submit in fact...it was much more drastic than anything ever experience in human history. Do I think human activity has some impact? Sure. Minimally...but..no where as much impact as the natural cycles of the planet. We are like ants in your yard...a nuisance to the planet. The arrogance of humans and how they see their importance shows clearly in this issue.

Im all for doing what we can to have clean air and clean water. I doubt anyone is against that goal. These are the issues everyone should concentrate instead of being reactionary,hyperbolic and out right dishonest when it comes to the issue of climate change.

Bless your heart. I wish I had your scientific literacy, when do you accept your Nobel prize?

I don't have the patience to teach you how to science. There are thousands of studies you can read if your interested. Spoiler 97% of them agree, I'll let you figure out which side science is on.

It's a great racket climate scientists have set up for themselves. I hope they send tribute monthly to the Great Algore for setting up their life-jobs for them.

Anecdotally, I've noticed that engineers tend to be big government conservatives, while IT guys tend to be Democrats with libertarian leanings.

Ah, but there is PROOF that lead causes damage to the human body. There is no verifiable proof humans or their industrial output causes climate change. Smog is provable. Smog causing respitorial issues on the human body is provable. There is no proof emissions cause the temperature of the planet to rise. If you want to convince people to reduce emissions you should stick to facts that can be proven and not theories based on unrelated corollaries. I'd be much more likely to take someone seriously if they told me pollution is bad for my daughter than running around like hysterics claiming that we're heating the planet up when they can't prove it.

You touch on why the "global warming" issue is a failure when you mentioned smog. What the advocates of global warming should do is just concentrate on clean air. No one has a problem with clean air and the outcome would be the same...lower carbon emissions. What has happened is there are lots of people so heavily tied to this greenhouse issue that to do so would be seen as an admission of failure.

LuckilyI don't have to convince cons on here, once their polititians tell them to believe in it they will.

anecdotally, he is right about lead....it took ~30 yrs to eradicate to non-toxic levels....

the real irony, is it's why we have clean rooms to the level of today's standards....

having said that, there is zero evidence human contribution is responsible other than our limited knowledge base and conjecturing that fills today's psychobabble-warming-agenda based analyses

using today's data/discovery, the variables are too expansive to prove and any theory is merely agenda driven....

and even if they are correct that sea levels will rise to the point of protecting/evacuating coastlines.....I only see that as a benefit in collapse via construction spending.....

either you let nature run on her terms (which she will regardless), or start killing people....ol' mother nature doesn't give a shite either way....

global warming.......what a ******* joke....

discussing solutions for the ifs is what needs to be happening......and it is.....however, some think there's a magic switch and a century of handshakes will balance the effect.....oil is the devil.....idiots they are....
