Damage from sea level rise, more intense weather events like rainfall, droughts, hurricanes.

You do realize that the US is just a small portion of the globe which is why the term is GLOBAL warming, not US warming. It is so difficult to explain the simplest things to Conservatives.

Where do you go for your research.
Because is an enormously complex problem!

Yes, they have have some clues, but the models used to predict have been proven wrong again and again and again.

Nobody in the world can confidently say and be proven right in one way or another.

So what makes YOU the super scientist in this case?

You need to grasp the sarcasm in his post.

The logic, which no leftist even tries to understand, is if extreme hot weather is evidence of global warming, then what about extreme cold weather? Wouldn't that be caused by global cooling?

It is so difficult to explain the simplest scientific logic to the leftists.

The only good news was that 2017 was not as warm as 2016 but of course that is to be expected since there was no El Nino,

Crops require water. Extreme drought combined with heat will severely impact food production. And the global population keeps growing. That might lead to WW3. And everyone has nukes, remember?

I would be more concerned about riots when the Republicans stop food stamps and Medicaid.

Space travel and detecting atmospheres on other planets are highly complex problems, putting a man on the moon is complex but when it comes to our own atmosphere they are wrong? I’m not a scientist but I read and have tremendous respect for NASA. You still haven’t answered the question, where do you get your research.
