There is a new book out by David Lipsky about the HISTORY of climate change science and how and why deniers crop up to counter the scientific facts. It could be an interesting read.

That is what is predicted to keep INCREASING for the next 8 years. I read that in about 4 years GM is expected to be advertising and selling ELECTRIC CARS at a rate of about 30% of all new car sales. If that actually happens, then we can hope that it leads to decreasing climate change.

The crop yields on that graph only go up to 2018. Which means almost nothing compared to what is happening right now.....TODAY. Today due to the record HEAT, the crops in the Midwest are ALL in danger of crop failure, a bad harvest, problems for farmers, and price increases for the average US citizen.
The record Gulf Water heat makes scientists worry about dying CORAL reefs around Florida - which COULD destroy the Florida fishing industry and sport fishing. The Coral reefs are the ecosystem that produces the environment for Florida fishing. As the Coral Reefs die, the Florida fishing industry dies.

Ameliorate
 

Seriously, if we are warming or cooling, can it currently be fixed? Will it be? We all know it’s about blame. I have my doubts anyone in government can fix the Earth’s orbiting closer to the sun. We will need to wait another 80,000 years. If Yellowstone erupts, things may level out sooner I guess.

Well done. That pretty much SETTLES any and all arguments on this subject. It amazes me how the deniers keep banging their heads up against the settled science about Global Warming. The fossil fuel industry has spent a lot of money to DENY the science, but even so.....by now we can see all the evidence around us - the receding glaciers, the rising oceans, the dying Coral Reefs, the worldwide RECORD temperature increases, and the layer of CO2 in the upper atmosphere.

No science
 

It’s an amazing thing…lol

According to Left Wing Extremism

Global warming is caused by too much Co2 blanketing the earth and thus it causes heat retention. A byproduct of this theory would actually be more rain than usual. Drought doesn’t fit in the “Global Warming” paradigm. They throw anything to see if it sticks. Actually Carbon dioxide doesn’t retain heat at all anyway. It cools 22 F in 3 minutes and 45 seconds. It cannot possibly retain heat and certainly not do so from day to day.

The manure gets higher from the alarmist’s too. The clown car will actually try and convince some that the moisture escapes and then clouds and atmospheric holes quickly close again for heat? How “convenient “…Where is the science? Where is the logic? Retain the heat, but oh no, not the moisture. What a laughable pack. CO2 can’t retain heat and if heat was retained, moisture would not be left out.

Amazing that so many educated people supposedly live here and yet none understand climate change and weather extremes. How about 97 temp in the water in the Keys or did you not here that.

Corals love very warm water. That's why the live in very water waters. There is fossil evidence that they lived in more regions millions of years ago when the climate was warmer. Corals are now restricted to the equatorial areas due to global cooling - as we are in the Pleistocene Ice Age. Go down to the Keys later this year and you'll find the corals doing just fine - because the media won't report good news.

Enjoy your golf games, beaches, cruises, and seaside mansions. Our climate is doing just fine.

The climate has been changing for millions of years, long before man. Al Gore in the 1970s say Florida would be underwater in 20-30 years? The polar ice caps would melt in 10-20 years? First it was a coming Ice Age then it was global warming and they were both proven wrong. They changed it to “climate change to cover any difference, up or down in temperature. And all these wealthy, global warming enthusiast are flying around in their private jets.
Do you know the hottest recorded temperature ever in the US was in 1913? Don’t think we had a lot of man-made Greenhouse gases back then.🤷🏼*♂️

Furnace Creek
 

No one would have wanted to be in Furnace Creek on July 10, 1913 (aptly named). 131 degrees is still the all time record for the US. Of course there could have been warmer temperatures there in the early west, but thermometers wouldn’t have been available before Gabriel’s invention in 1714.

Suppose we should be grateful we are in an 8 year cooling phase.
Southern Europe will be well pleased.

Actually Al Gore did not say any of that. Back in the 2007 documentary titled "An inconvenient truth" Al Gore said in 50 to 70 years during the summer months the polar ice caps could be completely melted. Also, he never made any prediction about Florida be an underwater at any time. It always amazes me how folks like you make up… And yes that is a polite way of saying lie about the fact and then try to add somebody's name to it that you don't like. Here's a little tip… It is very easy to fact check any of this.

Worth a look. There were some students in my U of MN dorm that were getting MAs from this school. Or, maybe, even Ph.Ds.
