The Climate Scientologists lost all credibility when their junk science became completely politicized. Nothing else needs to be said.

What's the point? There is absolutely nothing wrong with the climate. I think the last 10-15 years have been the best I've seen. My family's farm is doing fantastic. Plenty of rain, very moderate temps. No severe weather to speak of. Even the crop insurance has been dropping steadily.

Seems the insurance companies think AGW is a bunch of baloney too.

Needle? What needle is it that you are referring to? Or is it just a made-up, hypothetical, make-believe needle?

LOL....Really?

There is growing acknowledgement among insurers that the impact of climate change on future insured losses is likely to be profound. The chairman of Lloyd’s of London has said that climate change is the number one issue for that massive insurance group. And Europe’s largest insurer, Allianz, stated that climate change stands to increase insured losses from extreme events in an average year by 37 per cent within just a decade. Losses in a bad year could top US$1 trillion.

You invoked the "religious" nature of climate change. I just thought you would want to pray to your particular sky father.

Not in Texas where we have had historic flooding. I imagine flood insurance premiums are going up along the coast.

But then again... climate isn't local to Texas or your family farm....

Obviously the needle that separates climate change from purely natural events to events where mankind has a hand involved.

You see.... sometimes metaphors are used in discussions.... Do you know what a metaphor is? It's a literary device.

Especially when discussing works of fiction.

Typical, you rely too much on your personal bias, and cherished stereotypes.

I've been around the world, and yes, there are a lot of countries with foul air and horrible water; and that's even after it comes out of the tap.
