how many of those lost species are due to habitat destruction vs. 'climate change'? do you know?



wait a sec. why did AGW proponent rkb0305 say:



seems odd, next to what you just posted, does it not?

but then he/she adds-



That really doesn't make any more sense to you than the whole thing being all about Al Gore? Really? one person vs. thousands, millions even; several industries... or just little old Al Gore?

I admit, I'm no expert. But I don't go around starting threads on things I obviously don't understand. Climate change, or no climate change, the first article posted by the OP is about a .74 degree drop in 3 years. If she had the slightest clue, it would be obvious that 3 years is not long enough period of time to draw a conclusion from. Her subsequent posts only make it even more clear that she doesn't understand. She picked a side based on her politics. Nothing more. It has nothing to do with the science behind it because she doesn't understand it. If she doesn't understand it, it must not be true. I'm done here for now.

And 150 years out of 6 Billion is?

You see, they (the GW fanatics) have predicted dire consequences during that time - they haven't shown up yet. The Earth is cooling, they continue to claim it is/will warm in light of facts.

ALL of their predictions for the past 30 years have not come true. They have had to backpedal on numerous predictions because what they claimed was gonna happen, didn't.

How embarrassing for them AND enlightening for the rest of us. Why should we believe their predictions when they are batting 0 for ?

Yeah, NYC is going to be flooded with all that melting sea ice, glaciers and the Polar Ice Cap.

Did you seriously just say that? Seriously??

How many TRILLIONS of OUR dollars has Obama and the Democrat heavy Congress spent since late January?

I'm not going to take a position in this thread one way or the other about scientists being bought (although government grants are where the bulk of their money comes from - do the math), but your ignorance on where the money would be coming from if it were true is remarkable. But then you usually do just ignore whatever doesn't fit your position, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised this time...

They are all of the same ilk - tax, spend, control, redistribution.

so you admit that the .74 degree temp change in 3 years is meaningless? If 150 years isn't enough, then 3 years is most certainly not enough, so why did you post the article?
