LOL. I guess the good news is that Climate Scientists are no longer alone as being incompetent, evil conspirators who are producing fraudulent papers in order to get more government money.

They have now been joined by every previously reputable immunologist, virologist and epidemiologist on the planet.

And of course we have non scientists right there with them. Every mainstream journalist is in on the conspiracy....Not to mention pretty much all the election officials and poll workers across America.

Ask these right wing conservatives on C-D. They will tell you ALL about it.

Or, go hunting for Megdalon (giant Pre-historic shark species) fossilized teeth, in the center of the Florida pennisula in Arcadia, where most are found. Here's a link to a central Florida tour guide company:

I propose we conduct a scientific experiment...everyone who believes in man-made climate change:

-turns off the HVAC system in their homes
-destroys all electric appliances
-recycles their cars, and uses bicycles instead
-stops buying Chinese goods
-stops using plastics

...for the next 20 years, to see if it cools the atmoshpere.

They should try to prove the rest of us wrong, by using science.

If it works, I'll join them, no questions asked.

That's a pretty good analogy.

I believe there was Ra hysteria once upon a time in ancient Egypt.

Because that's what liberals claim!
Here's one celestial body for you. Stop talking out of Uranus.

And what are they?

Also: What temperature is the "correct" temperature for Earth? Please enlighten us. Thanks.

Seems like many people want a get of of jail free card, for the atmosphere altering ways of humanity.
If you actually understood the definition of humanity, maybe you would not have used it in this context? I don't need a get out of jail free card if I have not commited a crime. I use the energy sources available to me just like you. And, the past is relevant as it pertains to climate if you are willing to be honest in the discussions allowing the comparison to past trends . Again, more arrogance .

Uh huh. So have their never been fires before? flooding? Temps aren't increasing much, if at all, but this is nowhere NEAR as hot as it's been on Earth before, and the polar ice caps are NOT melting.

Anything else that is actually true?

Yes! You might like this site. Move down and it shows the top 100 tree planting countries. China is #1 with 2,407,149,493 and the U.S. is #10 with 315,586,982

But again, are we the cause? Maybe this would be the case regardless?
