Why you don't think these activities can effect the earth and climate is puzzling.
You left out butterfly farts. Those can be devastating, ya know.

You and your ilk are using the weather as a barometer for man-made "climate change" but when the weather doesn't fit the bill you turn to the old mantra "weather isn't climate."

I'm all for taking care of the planet, going to alternative sources of fuel (but not so fast that we strip ourselves of the ability to heat and cool ourselves, etc), and all of that. But you people are bonkers.

Exactly how is an earthquake caused by global warming?

Interesting.....the global warming nuts didn't have to prove or answer any of those questions to declare it happening.

I just have to ask; Do you actually believe the snow cap on Kilimenjaro has stayed exactly the same throughout Earth's history?

Maybe the warmists get all wee wee'd up because they are basing their alarm on about 30 years of observation.

???????????????????

And just HOW does an earthquake generated tsunami have anything to do with "climate change"?????


Are you actually suggesting that plate tectonics is dictated by "climate change" and CO2 levels in the atmosphere????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please provide the scientific facts for that assumption.

Snows of Kilimanjaro defy global warming predictions | masslive.com

Quote:
“Unfortunately, we made the prediction. I wish we hadn’t,” says Douglas R. Hardy, a UMass geoscientist who was among 11 co-authors of the paper in the journal Science that sparked the pessimistic Kilimanjaro forecast. “None of us had much history working on that mountain, and we didn’t understand a lot of the complicated processes on the peak like we do now.”
But, you just threw it out there anyway. The AGW believers have done more damage to the process of science than anything I can think of.

Representatives for Al Gore declined to comment on this article.
Typical. He NEVER comments after one of his gorey predictions failed to materialize. His movie should be banned in the US as propaganda, just as it was in the UK for schoolchildren.

Watch out for global cooling.

You can grow crops inside the arctic circle if it is warm enough but you can't grow them on top of a Glaser. Where was the terminal moraine in the last ice age? oh ya the US Canadian border. Watch out for those illegal aliens coming down from the north.

They just can't stop their fear mongering, even when they are totally discredited.

Oh yeah, we've heard that "thin ice" theory before, haven't we?
It's no longer Global Warming, it's "Climate change".. All the "alarmists" have changed to "climate change" because the "warming" theory has been debunked, time and time again... So now it's "Climate Change".. Wich is technically accurate, because the climate is always changing.. LOL LOL LOL.

Well yeah, now the "believers" can attribute any and all changes in climate, extremes in weather (hot and cold), any natural disaster, like hurricanes, can be under the umbrella of "climate change".
