That's a "I'm not smart enough to look at data" reply - where you forfeit your future to others - including scamsters. Scientists are way overrated - plus anyone with a desire to look for, and analyze data, can be a scientist. For example, Galileo was an inventor. So ... here is some data ... can you see out-of-control global warming?

Ugh! Again with the cherry-picked nonsense?!

To see this data in context, try this post #67 on the January version of this thread.

You got the right idea. There are always those few who will find someone to come to the medicine show and believe the spiel and buy the snake oil.

Correct. They are called climate change believers 😂😂😂

Our climate runs in 70-120,000 year cycles. Only data over thousands of years can be predictive of the future

Classic apples and oranges. So sorry that the climate change alarmists are WRONG

Sorry you dismissed it so quickly. The point is to start now rather than wait and "see" what happens next, when the team of experts has already figured out what happens next. And it ain't good, in either case.

Oh, and sorry, I truly am (I have oil wells and they aren't pumping). I know the truth is inconvenient, but mankind is making global warming worse. But, y'all stay the course.

Oh, you are far to clever for me. But, you are still wrong.

A Question of Weather Quiz - Weather Explanations | Environment | 10 Questions

A little introduction to science and weather from FunTrivia. Which probably has scientists writing some Quizzes.

Kool aid is for kids. My cup is glass and holds a total of 25 yo single malt.........when the mood strikes

Hey, anyone who likes 25 year old single malt scotch can’t be all that bad. Besides, it’s not like anyone on this thread will be around to see who wins the climate change debate. And if the flood waters come in the very near future, I’ll toast your win as we float in the SS Villages lifeboat

THIS is the thread. You referenced , by quoting, my response that included a POSTSCRIPT, clearly highlighted. Then you must have some sort of cognitive break by responding to my OP. I understand your confusion.

So to answer the question you intended, rather than the nonsense you actually posted, I made the OP not to dispute that we are currently in a warming cycle, but to question whether human activity has anything to do with it, while pointing out the incredibly obvious push of the narrative every day.

"To question whether human activity has anything to do with it". Well, there is a simple answer to that - 99% of Climate Scientists say that human activity IS causing Global Warming. That is enough for me. There are also observable reasons to believe this. One obvious thing that is hard to avoid is that the absolute temperature right here today is close to 100 deg F. July was officially determined to be the world's hottest since records were 1st kept. Living coral are down to 10% in recent years - they are 90% dead and next year will be warmer, and the next for at least 7 more years and the ocean CO2 content and the upper atmosphere WILL continue to INCREASE.
And WHY you may ask has this happened? World population has doubled in recent years. More people equals more Internal Combustion engines in cars and industrial use. Therefore, more fossil fuel use, therefore more CO2 released. Trees and plants absorb CO2, but the greater world population requires more and more trees to be cut down. Think about the Amazon rainforest becoming more like a desert. All these changes have INCREASED more rapidly than even Climate Scientists were predicting. Now, rapid changes have happened in the last 10 years.

The science seems fairly clear-cut with this matter. Cannot see why it would be even controversial.

Are we onto scotch now ? Pardon me while I light a fire in the fireplace tonight and take a sip to offset the chill. High today of 72 degrees F. I'll need to ponder on what a SS Village lifeboat is. Women and children first.

[QUOTE=jimjamuser;2243748]Sorry. It's all alarmism ... just like the little ice age scare of the 1970s. We are still in a 9-year cooling trend ...
