The Earth was also warming before 10,000 BC---was that due to internal combustion engines???? The Earth was much, much warmer 65 million years ago-----engines as well???? The last 5 or 15 years????--out of billions???? Don't make me laugh any harder.

Lots of words and no data. Anyone with a keyboard can make up words. So, let's try some data which is science based ... how much did "man-made" CO2 warm the earth last year?

Earth's heat. You have the narrative ... I have the data. For example, this Chester County, PA graph shows how NOAA systematically alters temperature data - by cooling and past and warming the present - and like magic - we have a global warming crisis. Notice the max temps are trending down - because the global "data" shows global warming is slowing down.

Al Gore was RIGHT. But, there were at least 2 reasons why he became a pariah. 1st the oil and gas industry had a vested interest in the production of gasoline and diesel vehicles so they did NOT want to be told by Al Gore that their products were endangering the environment. They even resisted US government regulations to eliminate SMOG in our cities. They had propaganda experts attack everything about Al Gore. Secondly, he was the 1st non-scientist with a national following to speak up about clean air. Being the 1st to say that something like SMOG was a serious HEALTH problem leaves a person open to MASSIVE criticism.
.......Bottom line - Al Gore was a HERO to the clean environment movement, which was branded by the opposition as merely misguided "hippies".
..........Today scientists know that Al Gore was right. And as we can see by the HIGH summer temperatures and record heat in world oceans.( Also reef destruction and polar melting and animal species extinction). Today we see the world environment going to "hell in a hand basket"( interesting expression) !!!!!!

Al Gore was right? I don't think so. Show me just one climate forecast he got right.

Actually, I read that the 1991 Mt. Pinatubo eruption was about the same size as the Tonga eruption. Tonga was under water and Pinatubo was on land . Pinatubo COOLED the Earth for 2 years by .9 degree F. Which is no big deal. Tonga produced water vapor. Pinatubo produced black ash. Tonga warmed the Earth, but I did not read anything about how much.
.......One could assume that since both eruptions were about the same size that they would have about equal effect on the earth temperatures.
Therefore, the effect of Tonga would be equally SMALL.

95% of all Climate Scientists say that Global Warming is man made. And if a person would look at a graph of the rapid rise of the world population in the last 25 years - they would see the direct link. Large world population equals large factory and vehicle exhaust gas pollution, which is RESPONSIBLE for OUR NOTICEABLE Climate Change in the last 5 to 15 years.

Interesting the expression" that it gets WORSE every year" - because what also gets WORSE every year is the HEAT that the world experiences and we do here in Florida as the ocean and gulf temperatures reach RECORD levels. In this very topic in one of the earlier posts a man from Pa. talked about how bad it was "up north" there. The heat and the humidity and the excess mosquitoes are WORSE that years past - in his opinion.
..........so I ask .....as a CONCERNED US citizen ........Is the rejection of Electric Vehicles worth the change in people's lives (toward living with more heat). And should we be MORE concerned with the northward flow of Population into the US from as far south as Venezuela ? Because more population in a 1st world country means more industrial gas and VEHICLE gas causing temperature increases. And other bad things.

1. You didn't read much about Tonga, because the media refuses to talk about it, because its "water vapor" is causing the 2023-2024 warming spike -- and heaven forbid the public hears that water vapor is causing global warming -- because water vapor is the monster greenhouse gas.

2. Assumptions are fun to make, but again, data trumps those too. First - Tonga is causing about 0.8 C (or 1.4 degree F) warming, and is expected to very slowly cool because the water vapor was sent much higher into the stratosphere than Pinatubo's ash. The stratosphere is very stable and the water vapor will linger for years. Second - Pinatubo's ash is very different than Tonga's water vapor. Ash is not only heavier, but it was lower in the atmosphere - and thus fell out faster. The water vapor is still spreading globally (vertically and horizontally).

3. All this and much more will be discussed Aug 15 at 1 PM at Bridgeport.

Anyone can make a number like 95%. So if true, please list their names.

One person's laugh may NOT be the same as another person's laugh. I get a large GIGGLE when I fail to see the parallel between Worldwide temperature increases caused by greater populations in 1st world countries causing more industrial and vehicle pollution. And some changes that The Earth experienced millions of years ago. (giggle, giggle)

Anyone with a KEYBOARD can type into Google - why is the Earth warming in the last 15 years - why do scientists say the Earth is warming in last 15 years.? Why is CO2 gas so small, but IMPORTANT? Why are the Coral Reefs dying? Why is Alaska breaking temperature records? Why is the Gulf of Mexico at record temperatures? Why are so many animals worldwide going extinct? Could humans go extinct due to Global Warming. Are there temperatures at which humans can't exist. Is human overpopulation a problem? Do wars and pestilence still control population (as one old philosopher believed)/ Why did Death Valley have the world's record heat recently? Google can be a friend (if one uses it)!!!!!

That gave me a GIGGLE. I am expected to list all the names of the 95% of all WORLD (as in the whole world) Climate Scientists. I would have to be an A.I. robot to do that.

Again -- just lots of words - and no data. So, how much did "man-made" CO2 warm the earth last year? Just Google it to find out -- it should be easy to find ... jeopardy them song music - Google Search
