Not really....it's just not happening at the break neck speed that you and your leftist buddies say it is....




If you are correct in your statement, why did it start out (in no particular order) global warming, global cooling, and now we have climate change......


Also, what do you say about the following link: https://www.express.co.uk/news/scien...Island-Glacier

Most people prefer survival, of course. But...different strokes and all that jolly rot.

It's been nice knowin' ya. (Insert waving bye-bye emoji here.)
So what? Do you not know that it is winter in Antarctica?

Chinese automakers churned out 680,000 all-electric cars, busses and trucks in 2017, more than the rest of the world combined. And China's output is growing faster than the rest of the world's too.

And the United States is not aware? Maybe you are not familiar with ISO 14001:2015
You should check it out....

How many companies are certified in places other then the United States....I'm sure there are, but compare them....go ahead....

Al Gore has the carbon footprint of Godzilla, as do most limousine liberals with their multiple mega mansions and private jets.......

Whataboutism fail.... Trump has a much greater carbon footprint... "Trump will go down as the person responsible for the most carbon emissions in the world."

Sweden is burning? I thought they were a rich socialist country utopia that could take care of themselves?

What is America suppose to do?

Funny how the left uses global warming as an excuse to spend money. Money can control Mother Nature!

apples to oranges

It is AlGore who got rich by peddling global warming, not Trump.

There is no relief of heat and dry weather anytime soon. Many EU countries has sent help to Sweden.

Yet Trump denies global warming...

Yep, it is a serious threat. Good luck having a reasonable discussion about it here, though.

Rapid temperature rise that normally takes 10 thousand years occurring in a few decades is not normal.

Especially when there is an obvious cause like greenhouse emissions.

We monitor the sun and it's energy output, we know our orbits very well, those are not the causes.

Your car normally does 80mph but if you turn it on and it suddenly starts going 80mph you aren't going to say "well gee my car does 80mph this is normal"

Yes it was hotter in the past, no it doesn't mean what you think it means since our orbit and sun output should give us over all cooling.

Since we are getting warmer, rapidly I might add, and see that greenhouse gasses are rising rapidly in the atmosphere it takes a total dullard to ignore the problem.

The entire thing is reminiscent of the leaded gas debate. So much stupid

Natural cycles usually run over millennia, not decades. That leaves you with two choices: It's either climate variability or climate change. It's hard to tell the difference, reliably, between the two statistically without observed local weather data bases that go back 100 years or more and, even then, detecting differences in the parameters of the distributions of extreme events takes much more data.
