who says the planet is continuing to warm?

Every climate science authority in the world says it's continuing to warm.  I did post a chart earlier which shows the trend.  Whether you believe it or not is not my problem.

Natural variation should have it cooling?

Irradiance has been on decadal level decline since the 1970s - less energy from the sun for over 40 years, but the planet keeps  warming.

who says the planet is continuing to warm? The same scientists we are all suppose to believe because they say so? Natural variation should have it cooling? Prove it's not. What you feel is meaningful to me is pure garbage. Drill baby Drill. Stoke them coal plants with cheap coal. I think the world could use about 5+ degrees in the Midwest USA. Might be able to get 2 sets of corn in per season. 

And we here in Florida could get far more Citrus.......!!!!!

We could re-plant groves back into Central and North Florida,  where they haven't been for 40 years.........

 

Because despite all this WARMING crap that RED talks about,  THE FACT IS THAT THE CITRUS INDUSTRY IN FLORIDA USED TO HAVE VAST GROVES REACHING ALL THE WAY NORTH TO JACKSONVILLE........!!!!!!!

Then the GLOBAL COOLING that is actually happening started,  and in the GREAT 1980 FREEZE,  ALL OF THE GROVES NORTH OF ORLANDO WERE FROZEN AND DESTROYED......

Now,  in Florida,  all of the major groves are in South Florida,  from Lake Toho south.........

 

It is too cold in Central and North Florida for Citrus now in these colder times........

Everything in this one pic: deforestation, pollution, corporate greed, government corruption, climate change, depletion of resources...  All bad for a sustainable environment 

Pretty old pictures I think. A great reason for switching to natural gas.

Must be from all the dust storms kicking up super fine particles and rising to the outer atmosphere? Reflecting the rays back out. Might even be all the silver oxide to create rain and the Chem trails...……..guess we'll have to wait and see when we meet out maker.

In other words,  you are admitting that there is NO CONSENSUS ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING....

False - you consistently make claims which are not true.

you say THE THEORY EXISTS REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANYONE BELIEVES IT IS CORRECT OR NOT......!

False - read what I said as it is very different.

At what point will you get something right?

Probably not as old as you think, for one....the trucks are of the age the logging companies use cause it's rough on New trucks. Those trucks are just drag racing and pouring the coal so to speak. Loggers gotta have fun too.

Okay NickW, I read the article. The black soot out of those trucks what I as referring too doesn't fit the narrative in the pdf. Those two semi's are dumping about 4 times plus amount of fuel, we call em smokers, and is mostly unburned fuel very large particle size, obviously as you can see it. Black Carbon soot. Normal diesel trucks just running down the interstates the particulates are collected on some trucks and burned off later. Some use DEF to subdue the nitrous oxide from diesel but now they are starting to figure out it is putting out different pollutants. Hard to change internal combustion diesel without consequences. YouTube rolling coal, amusing..

Natural gas will do the job. Trucks can easily be converted.

(1)   FALSE   -   EVERY CLIMATE SCIENCE AUTHORITY IN THE WORLD CANNOT AGREE ON ANYTHING.....  AS HAS BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED IN THE MEDIA,  AND IN THE ARTICLES THAT I PRESENTED,  AND THAT YOU ADMITTED THAT YOU READ JUST A FEW MINUTES AGO.......

(2)   TRUE  -   THERE HAS BEEN LESS RADIANCE FROM THE SUN FOR THE LAST 40 YEARS.......

 

(3)   FALSE  -   BUT THE PLANET "DOES NOT" KEEP GETTING WARMER........  MANIPULATED DATABASES   ...  PEOPLE WILL BE GOING TO PRISON OVER IT.......

Air pollution is the sixth biggest killer worldwide—more than alcohol use, kidney failure or too much salt. The cause, as we all know, is the burning of fossil fuels, which generates soot and other airborne particles that hang in the atmosphere. In a new example of the vicious cycles spun up by climate change, research from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology suggests for the first time that pollution is lingering longer over cities and summer storms are becoming more powerful. When it comes to the global warming crisis, rising seas, catastrophic flooding, devastating heatwaves and unprecedented hurricanes get all the press. The new study reveals how even the more mundane aspects of weather are being affected by man-made damage in ways likely to become—if they haven’t already—damaging to people and property. “You can connect observations that people are making on short timescales about weather phenomena to changes in the mean state of the climate,” said lead author Charles Gertler, a graduate student in MIT’s Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences. “In plainer speech, it’s climate change and its fingerprint on weather events.” The study published this week in the peer-reviewed journal, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, also states that these weaker extratropical cyclones may be contributing to longer heat waves, too. The study is based on temperature and precipitation data going back to 1979, the beginning of satellite monitoring.

Wrong.....

What i wrote shows exactly THE DEFINITION OF  WHAT YOU WROTE means in real English......

 

So,   do you want to try again ?    WHAT IS YOUR NEW DEFINITION FOR WHAT  " IRRESPECTIVE OF CONSENSUS" means...?

China has really messed up their environment...

Here in the USA,  northern cities with steel plants used to be very polluted air,  but that cleared up when the plants went overseas due to NAFTA GATT etc......

Now that steel is coming back,  they are reopening plants,  but using newer technology..   The USA should not have the problems we used to have,  much less what China and India have.....

Much lower after the initial conversion. Other nations do the conversions for much lower prices than we do. CNG can be used on large trucks in most cases. Many prefer LNG for long range and it is still less expensive than diesel. The engines last much longer with natural gas also.

A visit to Pittsburgh was a real eye opener. It is a very clean city now. It is also a center for natural gas production and distribution. Unfortunately, New York bans pipelines to New England so they pay more for energy.

Natural Gas doesn't have the same power as diesel and not nearly as efficient. Not even close to same BTU's, or we'd have switched like California bus' did in the 90's. Diesel will be around for along time unless governments mandate a switch. Been trying to phase them out for some time and just getting more popular. Ford is all but shutting down car line. 2 models left.

They just about run you off the road in Olympic National Park. You have to pull over.

Despite the sufferings, deaths and warnings by experts, some section is hell bent on proving issues like Climate Change, Global warming as Hoax.

Who is an expert? Some government clown with a degree bought and paid for buy their said government. Global warming is a Hoax on ill informed populous that will pay extra for a car that is electric. Not realizing the amount of energy to make the car over a standard internal combustion engine is twice the amount of dangerous crap in them batteries to make em go. Then if you don't live where there is nuke for powering up you auto, you probably get the juice from coal plant. Process zero'd out.

Funny part is that some dull witted craps still believe that they are the only Expert and  their engines will continue to ooze black smokes for ever . It is high time to switch to cleaner fuels and by 2040 , world will witness more than 80% EVs on the roads.  Slowly but surely this is going to happen. NG  / LNG will be dominating the market for many decades though. This is the world view . Believe it or not hardly matters.

Everybody breathes one tablespoon of dust each and every day, regardless of what is in the air.  If there is an oncogene in the dust you breathe, too bad, it's neoplasm time, possibly malignant.  Mother Nature at work.  

You could close the garage door and start the engine in your car, stand there for a few minutes and determine if it is safe to breathe engine exhaust.  It will have carbon monoxide emitting from the tailpipe, so there is a danger of asphyxiation.

If you want results that are even more effective, drive a battery-powered golf cart that can go up in smoke all by its lonesome.

Gasoline in the tank will take you 300 miles easy.  I had a Chevy Suburban that had a 42 gallon gas tank, one barrel.  The Suburban would travel 800 miles no problem with one fill up.  When it is 250 miles to the next gas stop, you'll know why there is a 42 gallon tank strapped to the frame.  It comes in handy when you are in a place that is far from nowhere.

It don't get no better.  ICE trumps them all, hands down.

There is plenty of heat ten thousand feet beneath your feet and there is oil there too.  400 million year old organic content that is being cooked into hydrocarbons has been going on for more than 400 million years.

Oil and coal, fossil fuels, power civilization.  Without them, it is teats up, no matter what the maha reishis say.

143,000 tonnes of Citrus fruit grown in North and Central Florida in 2017 which equates to 32% of Florida's Citrus production.
