1990's they said the same thing!
Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
pain in abortion.
Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

Sorry, but your opinion on climate change is meaningless.
You are not trained, educated, or published in the field of climate science.
I might as well ask a carpenter's opinion on neurosurgery.
If it makes you feel any better, my opinion on climate science is not worth a warm bucket of piss either. I am not trained, educated, or published in climate research.
The overwhelming consensus of the world's best trained, reputable, and published climate scientists is that the current rate of global warming is largely attributable to human emissions of heat-trapping greenhouse gasses. And this is known with a very high degree of scientific confidence. That confidence is so high that there is nearly universal agreement among the world's government and the world's most prestigious scientific organizations that the broad outlines human induced climate is well understood and are an established scientific fact. Although interesting questions remain to be studied, and the exact nature and scale of the impact is less well constrained.

Fair enough, but not the point I was trying to make. Someone who IS trained, educated, and published in climate research, has stated that a rise in sea level is inevitable.That word in certain contexts can be very ominous. So I am only assuming this is bad news. If they meant it to sound upbeat, I'm sure the language would be different. Then you couple this with the GND supplicants on the left, and the future of this country(nay, the entire PLANET)seems grim. I hear stuff like this and I seriously am not going to worry about it

Hello Stretch,
I am enjoying my life very much as well. And I would like to leave a world full of possibilities for future humans. Two possible courses of action. One entails great risk, but fortunately the other hold promise. If we don't know which course of action to take, the wise thing to do is avoid the risky one - doing nothing and hoping for the best case. Very unwise when there is no need at all to take any risk with the future of humanity. Our descendants are counting on us to make the wise choice. That choice is take appropriate precautions now while they will have the greatest effect. We need to reduce releasing CO2. So maybe instead of taking a drive, ride a horse once in a while.

Why? Because you said so? I happen to think his opinion is pretty decent.
Climate 'science'? What theories are in climate 'science'? Climate isn't even a quantifiable term. How can it be science?
Might be a better opinion. At least a carpenter knows how to drill a hole, which is what a neurosurgeon has to do in order to GET to the brain he wants to work on.
Yes you are willing to declare what is 'climate science'???
Ah. That magick word 'consensus'. Did you know that there is a consensus of trained and reputable individuals that state there is a god? How is that different from anything a 'climate scientist' says?
Now your problem with science.
The 2nd law of thermodynamics defines the word 'heat'. It is the flow of thermal energy from one place to another. Heat always flows from hot to cold. You cannot trap it. It's like a current in a river. All you can do is reduce it (by damming the river, or in the case of heat by using a thermal insulator (like a coat or a blanket) of some kind.
Earth is always radiating energy into space. That is not heat unless that radiance in turn warms something else. You can't trap light, and you can't trap heat. There is nothing about CO2 or any other gas or vapor that can trap either.
Don't think so. It defies existing theories of science. I don't think you understand that science is not a statistical analysis.
Do you seriously believe that governments define what science is?? Do you seriously believe that ANY elite group defines what science is?
A fact is just an accepted predicate. Such a thing has nothing to do with science. There is no such thing as a 'scientific fact'. Science always questions, always changes. Any theory of science can be falsified at any moment, even long established theories. How many centuries was it that people believe Earth to be the center of the universe until Galileo showed with a telescope that moons orbit Jupiter? In one moment that centuries old theory was thrown right out the window.
This sounds like a null argument. What questions? Why do they need to be studied? What holes exist that need to be filled? If you can't answer these quesions, how can any impact be evaluated?
Something to consider about climate scientists:
Theories of science explain things. They explain, for example, just exactly WHY something falls, and accelerates as fast as it does. It even goes so far as to predict that acceleration using an equation. They explain why a chemical reaction takes place and what the resulting products will be, and why.
Climate scientists, on the other hand, just say the sea level is rising. They don't say why, except that some ice is melting somewhere (an equally void explanation). They don't say why, except that the Earth is warming. As far back as their arguments go, you just get one vague claim upon another. There is no equation, there is no mechanism as a cause to the whole thing other than the presence of some magick gas. They ignore things like the laws of thermodynamics and the Stefan-Boltzmann law, which ARE existing laws of science.

Just curious why all the scientists were wrong, in the early to mid 60's, when they were predicting another Ice Age??

Pay attention to the date on the article!

I would like to add to that if you do not mind. Obviously nobody on the left bothered to actually read Micabwers link, NOR click on on links inside it. For example: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/climate...tag=MSF0951a18
Here is what NASA says in that article: " At that rate, Antarctica alone could cause as much as six inches of sea-level rise this century. "That's of clear concern to coastal communities, not just in the United States, but coastal countries around the world," MacGregor said." In other words, it could cause the ocean to rise 1/16 of an inch per year.
