Yeah the Gulf Stream could die next year.
If only somebody could have proven in 1896 that CO2 is a greenhouse gas, maybe all this could have been avoided.

Now someone cite just what actual lasting damage was done due to these ice caps melting. Personally, I've no problem, just as I like warm weather in winter, as then no new onerous storms, blizzards, and black ice, etc., are being formed to screw with We The People. #10 | POSTED BY MSGT

"A total of 1,609 scientists and professionals from around the world have signed the declaration, including 321 from the United States."
How many of them are climate scientists?
A "World Climate Declaration" signed by more than 1,200 people and widely shared on social media challenges the scientific consensus on human-driven climate change. But only a small number of the signatories are climate scientists, some have links to the oil industry or climate-skeptic organizations, and the claims have been widely debunked. factcheck.afp.com

"Carbon dioxide is "essential" to all life on earth and is "favorable" for nature."
Go breathe 1% Carbon Dioxide and let us know how favorable it was for you, okay?

"The coalition pointed out that Earth's climate has varied as long as it has existed, with the planet experiencing several cold and warm phases. The Little Ice Age only ended as recently as 1850, they said." "Therefore, it is no surprise that we now are experiencing a period of warming"
Moments later,
"Climate models have many shortcomings and are not remotely plausible as policy tools"
So which is it? Should we not be alarmed, because of the climate model in the first part? Or should be not be looking at the climate model, as directed in the second part?
P.S. Please ban this climate denier for the nth time.

"The present rate of cooling," they said, "seems fast enough to bring glacial temperatures in about a century, if continuing at the present pace."
Okay. Did the present rate of cooling continue at the present pace?
"An international team of specialists has concluded from eight indexes of climate that there is no end in sight to the cooling trend of the last 30 years, at least in the Northern Hemisphere,"
Okay. Did the cooling trend end?

"For the conterminous U.S. as a whole"
What percentage of the globe is that, so we can frame and scope this observation. in terms of global warming?

"lacing staple foods and drinking water with sterilizing agents to cut the growing population of the United States, according to the report."
The Invisible Hand did exactly that for business reasons; nothing do to with climate concerns.

Also if you want to cut the growing population of the United States, the most effective method is to end immigration.

John Christy, a climatologist and professor of atmospheric science at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, dismissed the narrative of record high temperatures. "Regionally, the West has seen its largest number of hot summer records in the past 100 years, but the Ohio Valley and Upper Midwest are experiencing their fewest," he said. "For the conterminous U.S. as a whole, the last 10 years have produced only an average number of records. The 1930s are still champs."

His "research" already got debunked.
He faked his data at first and had to correct it.
Then he had to correct his work to show warming when it was called out to him from his own data.
And then he had to do it AGAIN to show major warming with the same data when it was pointed out how he manipulated it YET AGAIN.
His own research proved him wrong but keep citing sources that were proven liars and are whores of the science community.
This guy isn't even allowed to testify in Court because of all this.
Is this the best scientist Republicans have? (Yes, actually)

Yes, it has varied.
And we know why it has varied.
Now its varying again and we know why its varying again.
And the cause of that variance is growing yearly. It's us.
It's going to continue to vary in that direction because we refuse to stop the cause.
What's your point?

December 1972 Two Brown University geologists wrote a letter to President Richard Nixon, reporting that a conference attended by "42 top American and European investigators" concluded "a global deterioration of climate, by order of magnitude larger than any hitherto experienced by civilized mankind, is a very real possibility and indeed may be due very soon." "The present rate of cooling," they said, "seems fast enough to bring glacial temperatures in about a century, if continuing at the present pace." January 1974 "Space satellites show new Ice Age coming fast," The Guardian reported. June 1974 "Another Ice Age?" a Time Magazine headline asked. "Telltale signs are everywhere"from the unexpected persistence and thickness of pack ice in the waters around Iceland to the southward migration of a warmth-loving creature like the armadillo from the Midwest," the article said. January 1978 "An international team of specialists has concluded from eight indexes of climate that there is no end in sight to the cooling trend of the last 30 years, at least in the Northern Hemisphere," The New York Times reported.

Another lie.
There was no global cooling consensus in the 1970's. This is all from ONLY 7 papers.
The rest of the scientific community predicted warming or were unsure.
Anything else you want me to debunk and call you an idiot for?

But you can't teach any of the subjects. You can just read the materials. That's the problem. #71 | POSTED BY SYCOPHANT
