Bonus question #2.

If real world observed criteria are entered into the IPCC climate models for the years 1850 to 2000, what temperature do the models predict for the year 2022, and how closely did the projected temperatures from the model correspond to actually observed temperatures?

But, its not about what we got! Its about what they got...all the corrupt politicians, CEO's, & CFO's...as Billions flowed through companies like Solyndra, & they all skimmed off the top.

It was all a money laundering tool to move huge sums of cash from the U.S. Treasury, into the hands of corrupt politicians, & their Corp accomplices.

It was already well understood for decades. Problem is there are too many ignorant selfish greedy boinkwits challenging science/facts and thwarting the implementation of solutions.

Science only works by challenge - all challenges, any challenge and only then does fact/truth emerge.

"Thwarting" challenges is what cults, religions, and tyrants cling to.

That line of thinking brings me back to today's crazy propositions of injecting sulfur dioxide capsules in the upper atmosphere and the latest news is that a start-up has done just that, from Mexico.
Sulfur dioxide would cause acid rain. Perhaps you misread that and they’re going to try putting something in the upper atmosphere to stop the sulfur dioxide?

All of mankind's success happened only in the warm post glacial Holocene period.

Great summary. So how does that mean we'll be destroying the planet in 30 (?) years?


You really think that if we all drive Tesla's, have our homes run by wind/solar/[other "clean" resources], we will "save" our planet?
