I would call the global warming deniers the proponents of junk science.

"Silly" ????? If that is SO, then 80% of all Climate Scientists are "silly". We all know the old Egyptian proverb, "silly is as silly says".

As I posted in the other climate thread…

Perhaps all the hand wringing and head shaking will cease soon. Did anyone see the headlines yesterday stating US Scientists have made a major breakthrough in ‘limitless, zero-carbon’ fusion energy discovery? I would think if we can develop a vaccine in less than a year, we should be able to develop this fusion energy with lightspeed shortly, if this pans out. This appears to be phenomenal news!

YES! The 1st paragraph pretty much is a "drop the mike" definitive Scientific statement on the VALIDITY of Global Warming and the need to mitigate against it.
......Apparently, the REAL scientists in Saskatchewan published their report WITHOUT consulting our vaunted, world-renowned Weather Club. Those stupid "Canucks", how dare they!

It is kind of like chemistry as far as consensus is concerned. Some dark areas in brand new discoveries, etc. in chemistry or in new drugs and their interactions.

History of chemistry - Wikipedia

So, the consensus of 99% of the scientific papers is that Climate Change is real and is caused by humans. The 1% that disagree can't be replicated or have errors. I guess that I am going to have to revise my 80% figure significantly UPWARD. Well, live and learn! I imagine that the Weather Club is happy to have that 1% distinction. Maybe they sell T-Shirts saying, "We are the PROUD 1% Climate Change deniers. Maybe they can stay for the next club meeting in the same room.......the Flat Earth Society.

You have to LOVE the grit and tenacity to stand up against the opinions of 99% of Climate Scientists. Sort of like the Spartans who were outnumbered 100 to 1 by the Persians at the famous Battle of Thermopylae!

You can say that, but someone can say how much "man-made" CO2 warmed the earth last year -- man-made climate change just a myth.

Pick up any reputable Science journal and you will find that to be the case. e.g. November Scientific American - Meltdown is faster than expected.

The bigger question is what to do about it.

Absolutely, exactly. The Federal and State governments and even local senior centers need to provide money or tax credits to owners of hybrid vehicles, E-vehicles, E-bikes, and E-golf carts. Efforts should be made to limit the population of the world's biggest CO2-producing countries - the US and China. Overpopulating a country's resource capacities has historically resulted in wars and famine.

The world currently has both wars and famine going for it. People are streaming north to enter the US at a rate estimated to grow to 1,000 per day due to famine in areas of South America and general greed for wealth. People are streaming north from Africa to get to Europe due to Global warming making their countries uninhabitable. Poor countries are busy starving and rich countries are busy burning excess fossil fuel, which makes the earth's problems greater. Eventually, these 2 groups will clash, with neither of them remembering that the root cause of their problems was Global Warming. Meanwhile back in the USA, most people are NOT even mentioning Global Warming or even outright denying its existence. Hard to SOLVE a problem that isn't talked about routinely on TV.

Fusion energy IS a great development and has FUTURE great potential. But, will it be here quick enough to reverse ALL the problems caused by Climate Change, or will that take 5 decades? Will the people in South America and Africa be willing to return to their original countries........I don't think so!

If this is confirmed to be viable, you won’t be able to stop it and it will evolve full speed. Contrary to some beliefs, the earth is not going to collapse from climate change in ten years.

I don’t understand your desire to return African and South Americans to their original countries. Surely that isn’t meant to be racist…

Guess what? If it takes 5 decades that will be fine, since the global warming people are worried about won't max out for another 20-25,000 years

Yup. You're re-writing history... Obama would have make a better mason (brick layer) than a basketball player...

Watch him miss 20 of 22 shots...
