The people who say that AGW is a real thing are looking at what as already been measured. Sea levels have risen 6.7 inches in the last century. The rate in the last decade was nearly double the last century. The earth has warmed 1 degree C in the last century. 15 of the last 16 warmest years on record have happened since 2001. These occurred even during an unusually deep solar min event from 2007-2009. And on. And on. Again, the acidification of the oceans by the record output of the Carbon Dioxide (not a theory), is causing mass deaths in global reefs.

No, I never said to stop predicting the weather. Just don't try to tell me what it's going to be 50 years from now. By the way, those wonderful computers predicted a 70% chance of snow here yesterday. Not even a snowflake.
There has only been recording of temperature since the mid 1800's and only since around 1890 what would be considered accurate by today's standard. Unless Thag the caveman somehow invented a thermometer and recorded temps on his cave wall I'm not going to rely on 150 years of temperature on a planet that has been around for only God knows how long (and yes I do believe it's longer than 6000 years, 6017 :D) to say whether or not the globe is at hot or cold as it ever has been. Can't be proven.
CO2 is not a threat. How do you think plant life on the planet survives. Each tree on this planet takes in CO2 and then puts out enough O2 for at least 1 person to breathe. CO2 is not a dangerous gas and the acidification of the oceans by it has been proven wrong by several studies. More hysteria. It is a theory and a wrong one.
Stop believing the leftist alarmists like Algore who just want your money.
Science is not done by consensus and there are just as many scientists out there who are not buying it as there are who believe it. Just because you do or do not believe it doesn't make you any smarter or dumber than the other person. The climate is always changing.

So? Do you understand what a percentage is?

Wow!

Pardon those of us who take the word of the scientists over your obviously well intentioned, if hysterically ill-informed opinions. It's kind of like when I trust the engineers who determined the wing on my plane will create enough lift to get us into the air.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration disagrees with your comment about a "myth." Ocean Acidification

Also, 70% is not a chance. It's geographic coverage. Within a defined area (often areas as large as all of central TN), 70% of the area will see the forecasted amount of precipitation. Anything less than 40% is considered negligible.

It's hard to be conscientious of the environment when you are being payed well to destroy it.

BigDukeSix 12-08-2016 02:42 PM

You're never going to win with the chicken little alarmist types. Even though their predictions from years ago continue to be wrong. Global warming is a religion for these characters. I'm thankful Trump put someone in charge of the EPA who is going to stop some of this nonsense.

They are not my opinions. They are well researched facts and not by me. The global alarmists are the hysterical ones. Global alarmists try to shout down the scientific evidence that disproves what they have tried to prove by calling the scientists who present this information heretics and deniers and the compliant media helps them by piling on. Hell, there are calls by some on the left to prosecute and throw all the deniers in jail.
WOW! is right.
And yes I do know what a percentage is. No snow fell anywhere in the area forecast to have snowfall.
Why don't you research what the original climate change guru James Lovelock has to say about "Global Climate change" now.
The hysteria is all on your side. The sky is falling, the sky is falling.

Al Gore said miami would be underwater by 2014. These predictions aren't based in science, man made global warming is "fake news".
