    For people like the bird evidence that contradicts his preferred reality cannot exist. And since his preferred reality leads to a concentration camp aka 15 minute city for most every one not a billionaire heaven only knows why he worships it.

    No that is because old Trumpy is an idiot. So tell me why s it wrong for John Kerry to fly somewhere but not Trump? Keeping in mind that Kerry would be paying carbon offsets

    And how do you know the Bible itself isn't just some dudes' writings? How do you know it is inspired by God and these purported new prophets are not?

    I already told you the answer. Carbon offsets aka green indulgences are bunkum for democrats with a guilty conscience, their only real accomplishment is adding to Al Bore's wealth. The ultimate carbon offset for third world countries is to continue in ignorance and poverty. Oil made Nigeria the richest best educate country in Africa. Kerry's plan will destroy that.

    Where would you get the idea the planet ISN’T greening?

    More New Studies Affirm Rising CO2 Leads To Land Surface Cooling By Driving Earth’s Greening Trends
    By Kenneth Richard on 28. July 2022

    CO2-induced greening may reduce land surface temperatures by -0.7°C over the next 80 years. Earlier this year we highlighted a new study indicating the rising greening trends in the last four decades can be attributed to the change in precipitation patterns and “the physiological impact of rising CO2.” Greening-induced increases in evapotranspiration lead, in turn, to […]

    New Study: Rising CO2 Drives Post-1980s Greening…Which Cools The Earth And Offsets 29% Of Human Emissions
    By Kenneth Richard on 6. August 2020

    About 70% of the Earth’s post-1980s vegetative greening trend has been driven by CO2 fertilization. More greening has offset or reversed 29% of recent anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Greening also has a net cooling effect on surface temperatures. Earlier this year we highlighted a study (Haverd et al., 2020) asserting rising CO2 and warming are the […]

    Earth Is Greening Due To Rising CO2…A Growing Greening Sink Offsets 17 Years Of Equivalent CO2 Emissions By 2100
    By Kenneth Richard on 19. March 2020

    A new study finds rising CO2 concentrations (and warming) have driven the rapid increase in Earth’s photosynthesis processes, or greening. CO2-induced planetary greening leads to an enormous expansion of Earth’s carbon sink. By 2100 this greening-sink effect will offset 17 years of equivalent human CO2 emissions. This easily supersedes the effect of Paris Agreement CO2 […]

    New Paper: CO2 Rise + Warming Are 91% Responsible For The Earth’s Accelerated Greening Trend Since 1990
    By Kenneth Richard on 12. August 2019

    Satellite observations indicate the Earth has become much greener in recent decades. According to scientists, the overwhelming majority of the “significant increases in tropical forests and the forests of North America, Eurasia, and China” since the early 1990s can be attributed to the combination of CO2 fertilization (56%) and climate change (35%).

    So you have to wait for the last prediction.
    At that time, life may probably no longer exist on Earth. :(

    No it isn't. It's only relatively ice-free compared to the Little Ice Age (dishonestly called "pre-industrial" as if all pre-industrial climate was just as cold), the coldest 500-year period in the last 10,000 years.
    Arctic sea ice is at roughly the same level it was at in the 1940s, when the Northwest Passage opened up for the first time since the Medieval Warm Period.
    And will have no measurable effect on climate.
    No it isn't.

    CO2 is not a pollutant, as it has no known harmful effect in any plausible atmospheric concentration.
    Those pictures are of particulates, not CO2, which is invisible and not a pollutant. Why are you pretending that CO2 is particulates?

    That is just a bald falsehood. The "opinions" are empirical fact.

    Now the Pentagon tells Bush: climate change will destroy us
    This article is more than 19 years old


    · Secret report warns of rioting and nuclear war
    · Britain will be ‘Siberian’ in less than 20 years
    · Threat to the world is greater than terrorism

    Climate change over the next 20 years could result in a global catastrophe costing millions of lives in wars and natural disasters..

    A secret report, suppressed by US defence chiefs and obtained by The Observer, warns that major European cities will be sunk beneath rising seas as Britain is plunged into a ‘Siberian’ climate by 2020. Nuclear conflict, mega-droughts, famine and widespread rioting will erupt across the world.


    The document predicts that abrupt climate change could bring the planet to the edge of anarchy as countries develop a nuclear threat to defend and secure dwindling food, water and energy supplies. The threat to global stability vastly eclipses that of terrorism, say the few experts privy to its contents.

    ‘Disruption and conflict will be endemic features of life,’ concludes the Pentagon analysis. ‘Once again, warfare would define human life.’

    The findings will prove humiliating to the Bush administration, which has repeatedly denied that climate change even exists. Experts said that they will also make unsettling reading for a President who has insisted national defence is a priority.

    :lol: The Guardian: All Anti-Fossil-Fuel Scaremongering, All the Time.

    How many more times, and in how many more different ways, do the anti-CO2 hate propagandists have to be proved flat, outright wrong as a matter of objective physical fact before they will find a willingness to consider the possibility that they actually ARE wrong?

    They're called pingos, and they have nothing to do with climate change.

    Again, how do you know. Plus just because something has not happened in the past doesn't mean it can't ever happen.

    It's easier to believe what's happened before is happening again, then to believe something that's never happened before is going on now. That's why we want to know what ur looking at before we decide.

    Oh thank God.

    I am only one person. So you can leave me out. :)

    The government is pushing electrical cars for everyone. Fine, but we don't have the electrical infrastructure to support it. Show us the electricity first. You are following a bunch of shysters who will eat cake on your dime and let you eat rice.

    But it almost certainly will warming has yet to end life on earth cooling on the other had had gotten very close on at least three occasions. Check out snowball earth events. Even the the three stage Permian extinction wasn't as deadly as the snowball earth event.

    The claimed effect is absent from the paleoclimate record.
    A fundamental principle of scientific reasoning is that like causes have like effects. You are simply denying that principle, claiming that like causes can have unlike effects.

    That is nonscience.
