Those two go hand in hand. You'll find that the evolution deniers are also overwhelmingly global warming deniers. It's funny to read their posts because they ardently believe what they say is true, on both topics. You can tell there is no real science in any of their posts.

OP, Trump didn't get 65 million votes. Hillary did; almost 66 million. Trump got less than 63 million votes.

Global warming causes climate change. Both are relatable, but exclusive terms. I don't know how you came to think they mean the same thing.

True, because to them the only science anybody needs is already in the King James Bible.

So... would you be willing to drink the rust-red water from a Superfund site, or is that yet another example of "humans cause nothing."

Seriously, come on people! You can't possibly believe with a straight face that everything from massive water and air pollution to cutting down forests to pumping CO2 and other crap into the air has no effect. What, do you magically think the pollution just stops at some level? That humanity can cut down entire forests, kill entire lakes and seas, but somehow "not affect the environment." I don't see right-wingers lining up to swim in toxic cesspools, suck on the smoke-stacks from coal power plants, or drink from dead rivers - but "humanity has no effect on the climate." Sure... we'll just kill the Earth one lake and forest at a time, but it'll have "no effect" on the planet. Idiocy.

I particularly like the part where Moses explains calculus and the Maxwell equation to the masses. Without that chapter, we wouldn't have the internet or cell phones.

Yes humans cause plenty, already been proven with Ozone depletion, mercury, Lead and acid rain, this is no different. We in closed system, how much CO2 do you think can be generated into the atmosphere without any changes. DO you have the slightest idea how increased CO2 levels increase warming


Most of the earths warming and cooling in the past can be explained by the Milankovitch cycles which are changes in earths orbit, are you claiming that the orbit suddenly changed in the last 100 years as it did during the interglacial period which covers millions of years.


Its very foolish to believe that the amount of carbon being generated has no impact.

Bible acts as a knowledge suppressor in many ways. This is why Aristotle was hated among Christians, because his science proved the bible wrong.
