Where did I write that humans should be eradicated and that "breeders" should be done away with? I guess everything I listed is fake news?

I believe the earth is warming due in large part human factors.

However, some of the hyperbole "end of human civilization" by people trying to help just makes things worse.

Lastly, just because we have a drought period in one part of the world making up less than 1% of the surface area does not prove anything. It does however open the door for the people denying warming to point to some other tiny part of the world that's had lots of rain which is equally ridiculous.

So if you really want to help then you need to lay off the hysteria, the hyperbole and the meaningless anecdotes about how it was the hottest day on record in Moose Butt, Minnesota and thus GLOBAL WARMING is real.

We're going to need technology to dig ourselves out of this hole because you can't even get the countries that signed the Kyoto accord (and patted themselves on the back for being *sniff* better than the US for doing so)....didn't adhere to it.

Heck, you can't even get EU members to follow their own budget agreements and they share a freakin' currency.

Money is better spent developing technology to live better in the hole....

If we want to stop The changing of the climate for the worst, stop federal grants for researches. We have been told over and over its "settled science " so why keep tossing money at it.

No scientist has ever referred to science as "settled".

That's correct. Climate armageddonists are quite insistent that AGW is totally settled science. And since any protest or questioning constitutes denialism, well then it must be settled. So since you are saying that scientists never claim that science is settled, we must conclude that climate scientists are not real scientists. I've always said that.

Climate change is a natural process. Why is winter still brutally cold and snowy here, huh? Also... Al Gore is a bad guy. He's a corrupt politic and ... um ... he kicks small children! Brietbart said so. Therefore, it logically follows that AGW propaganda is a big liberal hoax created to extort money from good people and channel it towards elitist pockets, duh.



That being said, I do believe the quoted passage in the OP is a bit alarmist. Then again I guess we'll just have to wait and find out!

No climate scientist has. The people who talk about it are climate deniers. Creating strawmen.

It's helpful in a political cause to sell the BIG LIE. This is it in climate science. No climate scientist has said climate science is settled.
