When a doctor or an engineer or a pharmacist or a meteorologist says "this is how this works," is your first response, "quit being so arrogant with your knowledge and maybe I'll believe you?" I'm not going to go through fluid Dynamics here so that you can understand. Learning is your responsibility. I've read studies published at multiple universities that indicate quasi-stationary long wave patterns are a direct result of AGW. They have been occurring with greater frequency at a statistically significantly rate and proportional to AGW.
Not really. I don't buy AGW with the way it's presented. It's unfortunate but global warming/climate change has become politicized and so it has to be taken in the political context. My first question is, what do you (or a group) stand to gain from getting what they want? Who stands to profit and who stands to lose. That shows who the key players are on both sides.

It's a fact that that the atmospheric particulate count has risen tremendously beyond millions of years of historical norms since the industrial revolution.
Why is this so hard to understand? And why aren't people willing to even attempt to believe that this could be the leading contributor to the other scientifically proven fact that the earth is warming at a higher rate than any previous ice age cycle.
And why are these people always republicans who lash out like little babies and call people snowflakes?
Weird childish behavior

Much like everything else these days, the truth probably lies somewhere in the middle, but everyone is too busy being outraged to consider another perspective.

The climate changes, always has. What is unclear is how much human activity is contributing to the pace and whether changing human behavior can have any meaningful effect to arrest it.
(Versus say, a Krakatoa-like natural event)

Liberals tend to think they can (and need to) save the planet, conservatives tend to think the planet will save itself. At least until the sun scorches us in 80 billion years.

Whatever your opinion, buy flood insurance. Hope Houston has a speedy recovery. Resume "I know you are, but what am I" if you must.

Saying it is possible is one thing, saying it as fact is another.

Climate change is an engineering problem, yet the left wants to make it a political problem.

I mean worst case scenario if all the scientists are wrong and you spent all that money investing in cleaner energy, you will be left with cleaner air and water. I mean you can argue all you want about whether or not climate change is man made or not, but what you can't argue is that man has severely effed up this planet in the last hundred years. I mean we have prescription drugs in WILD salmon. It's only going to get worse.
It's the man-made we have a problem with and the reason is that it's allowing people like Al gore and Bernie Sanders to pass new taxes and bans on things. It also has opened up a new venue for corporate welfare in the industry of Green. Nobody is saying don't invest we are just saying let the free market handle it.

The data doesn't prove the people are the cause. Either way we shouldn't be required or asked to change a damn thing about our lifestyle.

Spending millions and millions equipment that other agencies already have a surplus of is a waste. The agency obviously has too much money if it's in a use it or lose it spending mode.
