So maybe 30, 50 years, who knows but it could at some point this could accelerate. We are in new territory.

the hoax is the government's claim that it will stop the destruction of the earth if given enough tax money.


In 1946 there was a plan to drop an atomic bomb on the artic to melt all the ice. Mainstream science. Article went on to point out all the benefits. the only argument was whether the boms should be dropped from a plane or set off from a tower.


Yep the science is settled... any finding is only true for a moment.

The entire reason it went from global cooling, to global warming, and now it's climate change....

They have to change the book Title to suit their needs...

Hell, there have been at least 7 ice ages in the past.........................anyone care to guess?

And, what happens between ice ages?

Yawn. I am reminded why I don't engage in this stuff normally. The people convinced that we can pollute our living space with no consequences come out in droves.

So im going to bow out, as the sheer foolishness of polluting your living space and ignoring science and data just makes me too disappointed in humanity.

Read my post history, I have pointed out in the past that trying to argue with people on this is like trying to explain quantum physics to them. Often the education isnt there, and they dont even comprehend the topic well enough to argue it, they just throw nonsense.

You probably think electrons orbit the center of the atom in a circle/sphere for example. The vast majority of Americans do because of poor education on the topic.

Yes it's more important to be able to burn fossil fuels as we see fit, best to just ignore where we are heading because man cannot make a difference. This must just another natural cycle, what's a few feet in sea level rise.

Because you have no clue what you are talking about and are merely shoveling activist talking points?

People who have no clue what science is make huge anecdotal claims to causation to promote their pet causes.

Let me guess... you think the scientific method is observe, report, conclude and then gain consensus? If you do, you have no clue what science is.

Run along, it is obvious you can't handle it when it gets to the facts of the issues. Go find like minded people and sit in the local Starbucks and rant on about how you people are so intelligent and how you could save the world if it wasn't for all those dumb people.
