"scientists"
That's akin to saying there's such a thing as "creation science", i.e., complete bullshit.

Like hurricane forecast pioneer Dr William Gray? He passed away but he knew the climate alarmists are a cult

NO such thing. Maybe we need to start there and get you people to adjust your thinking.

"NO such thing."
Nonsense.
I started flying to LA regularly in the 80s. There was a visible brown ring lining every horizon.
40 years later, that daily, constant brown ring is long gone. Because humans changed their behavior.

It's been known that CO2 is a greenhouse gas. From all the way back in 1896. When your people were still coming over on a boat.

We put a hole in the ozone layer, then banned CFC's and fixed it.
Duh.

And this is no more or less dangerous and stupid than Dems hiring scientists who refuse to ever hold any different opinion about climate change even when there is peer-reviewed, empirical evidence in front of them that proves them wrong.
There is a level of anthropogenic climate change. There is also a level of nature correcting the situation itself, but not fully. Yet, if you bring up anything that says climate change isn't perfect science and there is a lot of fear-mongering over biased science, liberals go nuts. Just like cons do if anyone tries to say anthropogenic climate change doesn't exist.
So, how will this play out? That is very easy to predict. What will happen is, eventually, climate change will significantly negatively impact humanity and humanity has the ability to lessen the impacts, but we will be too busy fighting each other over whether or not it's real to actually do anything meaningful about it. That's all we do is argue back and forth over the idea and do nothing at all to actually address the problem. Spending so much time and resources on biased science keeps us from spending more of that on medical research, helping the needy, etc. And ignoring the issue completely as if liberals are just making up the good, non-biased science that does exist is equally as dangerous and stupid because it will be too late for us to do anything when the impacts cause people a lot of pain.
But hey, it's more important that liberals and conservatives whine and cry at each other constantly for decades, amirite?

Boaz really lives up to the stereotype that black people are incapable of learning.
I wonder if he also can't swim.

Excellent point. Well said. Continue to mention Dems in every thread about Republicans.

^ No links will be provided to support these claims. Republicans don't need links. Or democracy.

#4, 6 and 7,
That's environment, not climate you jackasses...
And yes, we can have a conversation about that because I've been on the clean up plastics bandwagon for years..
Otherwise, stay on topic.

"Eighty international scientific societies have endorsed the concept of a primarily human-caused climate crisis that is already starting to threaten the health and well-being of millions, and soon to be billions, of people in the next few decades. The total number of scientific organizations that dispute this is zero. If you were watching a basketball game where the score was 80 to 0, with one minute left in the fourth quarter, and you decided to bet your entire nest egg on that losing team, no one would argue that you were not severely delusional. ... Inability to discern reality is the hallmark of schizophrenia."
