The science is clear, and when our planet runs out of oil and petroleum industrial potential, we need to get right on curing global warming along with poverty, war and hunger. At least the homeless won't be cold, 'cuz of global warming. See? There is always a silver lining.... more junk science.. https://eaglerising.com/63729/scientists-admit-math-error-led-to-alarming-results-in-major-global-warming-study/ Global warming doesn't exist, for example, if it did, New York City would be under water by now, just ask Al Gore.... The below links list much reliable data that shows global warming does not exist... http://www.climatedepot.com http://climate4you.com Edited January 10, 2019 by Illurion Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

John Foote + 1,135 JF January 11, 2019 The notion that humans don't significantly effect the environment is pretty naive, we have fundamentally changed it. Modern agriculture is essential to feeding the planet, but while farming has enabled and created the development of civilization, it also forever changed the nature of the planet as long as people exist in large numbers. The sea of grass that was the midwest, the massive buffalo migrations, it won't happen again. But that doesn't doom the planet, it just changes it, and the person who thinks they really have the net effect of what we do is guilty of hubris. Literally half the data created recorded in history has been in just the last two years and we are only beginning to get a handle on how to manage it. This is actually a pretty good time to be alive. My first really serious statistical analysis of something proved me completely wrong to my belief structure of the time, and it was a process I was literally betting my life on in a military aviation role, and had it wrong. Fortunately I never got lit-up by an I-HAWK, so my ignorance wasn't punished, but I did learn being stupid and lucky is not the same as being good. We often truly don't know our impact. But doesn't mean we aren't impacting. Trying to fix something without knowing the impact, sometimes the fix is worse than what was broken. Not polluting, when you have the option, is to my mind, good. 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red + 252 RK January 12, 2019 1 hour ago, J S said: <below> Ah, it now makes sense why she banned me, on the post where I got nailed. That seems to be stating the obvious! It hit too close to home. I am so very amused. Should other readers care? To be blunt there are too many far right wing conservatives on here, whose value system can be predicted by a simple predictive model. Why else would you use a "predictive model?" You do not have free thought. So we don't have to pay a penny for them any more? Liberals call me conservative, and conservatives call me liberal. How would that be relevant to providing information into a forum, or arguing a matter on its merits? I am the true independent and not libertarian. And by telling us this I hope you feel better. But will it make your contributions any better than this drivel? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
