The word “years” is simply one version of defining time. We have a sort of agreed upon definition how we use the term now. But the word had different meaning to past civilizations. And before, what was a dinosaur year? An moon year? A sun year? A solar system year? “Rubber ruler” anyone?

Even the Sierra Club is in on an the climate scam. Scare-mongering is profitable - just ask Al Gore.

OK. I still love your ideas and your mind.

I’ve been to The Creationism Museum it is absolutely proven by bible genealogy the earth is only 6,000 years old you might take that to the bank.

Both Paul Beckwith AND Al Gore were correct FOR THEIR TIME. VP GORE WAS so EARLY with his warning that the enormous oil and gas LOBBY were able to get people to laugh about Global Warming. And Mr. Beckwith was CORRECT that the Arctic ice sheet was starting to MELT. Today fully 1/3 IS melted. Everyone paying ANY attention to international events KNOWS that Russia, the US, Finland, Sweden, and many other countries have a HUGE interest in the Arctic as direct transportation route, for fishing, for minerals (lithium), and for fishing - as fishing around the dying coral reefs is also dying.
........There are pictures from space showing the Arctic ice decreasing to 2/3 rds of what it was 20 years ago. And the reason it has melted is because of our old friend HEAT REFLECTION from the CO2 in the upper atmosphere. That IS why worldwide and in Florida we have had RECORD heat this year so far in the summer. Any scientist will tell you that! So will any senior in The Villages who has lived here more than 10 years - they will tell you that this summer has been TOO HOT. 7th graders can probably tell you that this is the warmest summer that they have ever experienced.
......And next year it will be another record heat summer. The on and on for at least 10 years or until the world wakes up and starts buying ELECTRIC VEHICLES. Funny thing, China is doing MORE about this than the US is. They have some EXCELLENT E-vehicles that they can build in HUGE quantities. And they WILL be selling them to Australia, New Zealand, and others because the US is behind the 8-ball because of the oil and gas lobby HOLDING the US back. We produce ONLY 8% of Electric new vehicles. Europe does double that much and China and S. Korea are beating the US to the market (our own market).
.........The summary conclusion is SIMPLE. The US can STOP its contribution to HEAT AND AIR POLLUTION, which will help the HEALTH of US citizens - we can stay competitive in car and truck production worldwide, and we can stop the continuing RECORD HEAT warnings in the summer - by SIMPLY dialing back on the sales of NEW ICE VEHICLES and buying E-vehicles.

By saying the same thing over and over, above you posted same thing twice, do you really think you are changing anyones opinion?

Gore talked till he was blue in the face saying nonsense and was a hypocrite with a huge carbon footprint.

Apparently, Gore isn't the only hypocrite here....

There is no need for the world to wake up, but there is a need for better climate education - especially about the Bray and Eddy solar cycles - which is why we are still thawing out from the Little Ice Age. Eventually all the ice will melt, and then it will come back again after the solar cycles begin the cooling phases in a couple hundreds years. Enjoy global warming while it lasts.

More inane, useless graphs. Concentrate on MAN-MADE (recent, within 12 years) Global WARMING. Can we say WARMING together...........now say Global Warming.....now man-made Global Warming.....now say - RECENT man-made Global Warming. Okay, class now you are getting the hang of it.
Here it is in SIMPLIFIED FORM...........recent big global population increase.....yields big car and truck CO2 increase.........yields recent big HEAT reflection from the upper atmosphere (AKA sky).......yields RECORD summer HEAT felt worldwide and measured by Climate Scientists.
.....Also, record HEAT felt by Pickleball players outside in TV Land.

Thank you for your helpful comments. Today, three more have signed up for Weather Club notifications to find out more about natural climate change and why man-made climate change is a hoax. We've never changed the climate - but we are enhancing the climate - for the better - just ask the polar bears and the corals.

It does not.

How do you expect anyone to understand what you are referring to without quoting what you were responding too.

I hate to tell people but...electric vehicles will make a blip of an impact on global warming.

A very frequent poster on here just might disagree with you.

Ditto -- plus they add more pollution problems ... Rein In Electric Vehicles - Donn Dears LLC

Thank you for the politeness. So, the "so-called" weather club is telling people that man-made Climate Change is a HOAX. I wish that WERE TRUE. If that were true, I would NOT have to waste my time trying to use logic and remind people that most all REAL Climate Scientists say that it IS MAN-MADE.........and it IS HEATING up the whole PLANET (our beloved Earth). It is caused by the series of factors that I described in post #131 so no point in me retyping that logic.
......As to the last sentence in the post about Polar Bears and Coral reefs - it is 180 degrees incorrect....it is BACKWARDS. Polar Bears are classed as "Threatened" by experts. Sorry, but you are NOT an expert on Polar Bears so you can say that Polar Bears are doing wonderfully. But, EXPERTS, not little me, are saying that you are making a dishonest statement. And I have seen scuba diving videos where divers come up onto their boat CRYING that the Coral Reefs are dead. So, it seems to me that they are the experts because I DOUBT very seriously that you personally have taken dive trips to Coral Reefs. So, I suspect that you are getting your incorrect information from one of the dark misinformation sites (even some started by Russian trolls).

Got to LOVE comments like this one. A reader is left with the question, "what does NOT do what" ? I guess it was directed to those mind-readers on TOTV.

You are allowed to believe the media -- I prefer to believe the data -- which says you too can hunt polar bears for about $50,000 per harvest. Would you like to split the cost for a hunt? Guns or bows are allowed ... Canadian Arctic Polar Bear Hunt - Ameri-Cana Expeditions

You short sighted people kill me.
The Milky Way is going to collide with Andromeda and you people are cranked up about the weather.

I repeat for the nth time: The one thing constant about climate…it changes.

Does mankind contribute? Likely some.

Is mankind solely responsible? No way.

OK, that statement would depend on where we are at in the time evolution of electric vehicles. It is true that today they will make less of an effect than they will tomorrow. Scientists and I believe that in the future they will save the EARTH from a deadly FUTURE full of Global Warming.
.......Even today........The US has 8 % of its new vehicle sales to be E-vehicles. This is DESPITE strong pressure from the oil and gas MEGA-dollar-backed naysayers implanted in the US Federal Government. Europe is buying new E-vehicles at a rate about DOUBLE that of the US.
...........S.Korea is making E-vehicles to sell to Australia, New Zealand, and others.
..........Independent Electric car and truck manufacturers are springing up all over the US and World. Because E-vehicles are EASIER to produce BECAUSE the engine naturally rotates 360 degrees right from the "get-go" , uses much fewer parts, and has high INSTANTANEOUS torque.
...........China is FULLY COMMITTED to E-vehicles. China has a HUGE population so their MANY manufacturers can sell to their home China population or to Australia, New Zealand, and many others. This will help China with its pollution problem, while also helping the WORLD with its CO2 pollution problem - which is HEATING UP OUR PLANET

I have forgotten more about HUNTING than most people know. As far as polar bears go, only a FOOL (with a death wish) would try to KILL a polar bear with a bow WITHOUT a guide backup with a RIFLE. Yes, a hunting party of Arctic natives could kill a polar bear with only arrows, but they are exceptional, and would probably have a rifle backup.
.........Let's go over this one MORE time.........Polar bears live mainly on Sea Ice. When they set PAWS on firm ground, the native North Americans and whites also kill them. They MUST live on Sea Ice. Sea Ice has DECREASED by 33% in the last 20 years. Scientists predict that it will RAIN (not snow) for long periods in the Arctic by 2050. So, that is WHY Polar Bears are "threatened" and will be looked at scientifically to potentially be placed on the ENDANGERED species list. This is the ACTUAL SCIENTIFIC present and future status for Polar Bears.
........If some POLITICAL ENTITY IN CANADA wants to hunt them..........I don't care........except to say they are STUPID.............and the world of environmental protectors SHOULD get together and stop that. I think that I will call my friend Greta Thunberg and make that suggestion.

And many also said -- only a fool would fly in an airplane. If we split the hunting costs, you get to keep the rug -- using either gun or bow -- but the Inuit hunting guides keep all else - for the family & dogs ... 403 Forbidden By the way, the international community did get together and allow hunting of excess bear populations - thanks to global warming and more CO2.

Seems warmer today.

Imagine that, even Talk of the Villages has gone woke and blocked the link I provided about hunting. All you have to do is search for "polar bear bow hunting" to find out a little more about reality - versus fake news

In this case, MANKIND IS mainly (probably solely) responsible. Around the world, for the last 10 years, more and more RECORD temperatures have been recorded (due to CO2 heat reflection from the upper atmosphere). This summer in the US and the world they have seen devastating HEAT records. Melting Antarctic ice and Arctic ice has caused the oceans to rise dramatically (and Heat is killing Coral reefs). Right here in TV Land, the afternoons were excessively RECORD HOT. Mankind (and ManNotSoKind) are responsible through increased populations of buyers of CO2 producing cars, trucks, and even golf cars.
.........Let me ask this question - why RECENTLY are large groups of illegal migrants moving northward into the US? It is because the RECENT HEAT has dried up their crops and made city life in South America oppressively HOT. If the man on TOTV who always disagrees with me was correct, (and says that it is getting cooler) then there would NOT be the masses RUSHING the southern US border. But, he must be saying that I am really NOT seeing those masses crossing the Rio Grande River. And the New York Mayor must be wrong when he says that he has a problem with illegal migrants on the streets of N.Y. Talk about that at the next meeting of the pseudo-Weather Club!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, if you truly believe man is causing global warming, then tell me ... how much has man-made CO2 warmed the earth last year? Please provide peer-reviewed source material - not opinions - but data.

I doubt that about the international community. Maybe the international community of greedy native North Americans.

Do you have any empirical data on those pickelball players?

A graph would be nice...

There go my plans for next weekend...

1: It's only 6%, not 8%...

2: You also ignore the "strong pressure" from the US Federal and State Governments being applied to the car companies to increase production of EVs, even thought the car companies are LOSING TENS OF THOUSANDS OF $$$ on every one sold...

If the sea ice has decreased by 33%, why has the Polar Bear population grown by over 400%?

You shoulda' bought an EV... :thumbup:

Your link works just fine. Sometimes, when you post a link, it shows up with a weird title...

He also completely ignores the increased water vapor in the atmosphere from the underwater volcano eruptions, which cause MORE heat buildup than CO2... Not to mention the other massive volcano eruptions that spew more CO2 into the atmosphere than man does...

But our sun will be burnt out long before then. :confused:

I little due diligence on your part will show it was the circumpolar "international" community that produced a joined agreement agreement - but the media refuses to tell you. Just like the media refuses to tell you how much "man-made" CO2 warmed the earth last year -- because they can't find it.

Polar bears don't need ice to survive - they need seals - or humans. There is more than enough ice for them. Ice was much lower years ago and the bears did just fine. Ice is now growing - because we are in a 9-year cooling trend - see image. Remember - if it's about the climate and it's by the main stream media - it's fake news.
