Doubt if any scientists believed that one. Clergy grasping at their confiscated property though.

Read what has already been written if you really care. My information comes from qualified scientific sources. I don't know where you get yours. We seem to have some common info, but you don't seem to have it all. If I can find it, so can you, I am sure.

Who determines what "qualified" is? Anyone can claim to be an expert. I only trust valid data. If the data does not support the theory, then the theory is useless. Whenever I see a claim about climate, I look at the data. For example, Al Gore is not qualified because the data shows his forecasts failed.

Sorry if some us do not put much stock in the U.N. As far as I am concerned they could disband and I doubt anyone would miss them.
I keep trying, but this is becoming difficult. Basically, the whole KNOWN WORLD of scientists and lay people with open minds believe in MAN MADE Global Warming.

And the UN is trying to help the US strengthen alliances against Russia, China, and North Korea - all of which, would turn the US into SMOKING ASH if they ever got the opportunity to do that.

Actually, his basic forecast has been proven TODAY. He was just AHEAD OF HIS TIME and OUTSPENT by the OIL LOBBY.

Begging is not science, but data is -- and this data is very important ... If man caused global warming, and since global warming started when the Little Ice Age ended, then how did man end the Little Ice Age?

I'll bet you were that kid that drove your parents nuts by constantly responding with "Why" whenever you were told to do something. You are making me laugh. 😀

Actually, my parents were impressed with my questions -- which is why the more I asked, the more they assisted ... with chemistry sets, biology kits, microscopes, geology kits, weather stations, library passes, and many books about science -- and I'm still asking questions -- for that's how you learn. By the way ... do you know how much "man-made" CO2 warmed the earth last year?

Taking another's comment ot of context then reassembling.them to suit your attemp to discredit that person is, imo, pretty low. And he never said man ended the little ice age. That is your fabrication, again, to try and make someone with valid info look foolish. You twist others words. Just my humble opinion.

Wow, quite a rant ;-) You really need to go reread my post. A good portion of it was addressing the silliness of using "greenhouse" and "blanket" as analogies for the impact of CO2 on the atmosphere. They are not good analogies. I personally don't buy into the dumbing down of scientific explanations, which "greenhouse" and "blanket" are. Be that as it may, it is almost universally accepted, by those that understand the science, that there has been some anthropogenic warming. This is based on both data (traditional and proxy) and radiative transfer theory. There are numerous peer reviewed journal articles that address this. There is some debate on the magnitude. There is also some debate on the magnitude of future warming (next 100 years or so) from climate models and which CO2 scenario is appropriate for the future. I suspect, but certainly don't know, that the atmosphere is less sensitive to CO2 than the climate models are showing. Modeling of non-linear systems is complicated. Analyzing results from these non-linear models is complicated. Sufficient computing power to reduce model resolutions (1km in the horizontal would be helpful) to the point where the closure schemes for parameterizing sub-grid scale processes ceases to become a significant point of uncertainty, and bias, is probably a decade away. Trends are important but so is a lack of bias for analyzing possible tipping points. Will we continue to warm? Yes, from both anthropogenic sources and the fact that we are in an interglacial period that started about 12,000 years ago. What can we do about it? Probably not much. We will continue to use fossil fuels, in great amounts, for the foreseeable future. There is just no getting around that. If the most pessimistic modeling projections for anthropogenic warming come to fruition, we will probably see substantial political unrest over the next 100 years or so (the time frame that modeling is looking at) as regional climates are impacted.

......"CO2 has the potential to TRAP energy from the sun and heat the surface of the earth" .........(that sounds like a blanket to me)

I have read MULTIPLE articles that state that CO2 has become excessive and the oceans are storing that excess CO2 as acid that is BLEACHING and killing coral reefs around the world.

If man caused the start of global warming, then man caused the end of global cooling -- or is that not correct?

"Do I believe what I read?" Let"s analyze that question. I tend to believe statements made by the U.N., the US Government Agencies, CNN, MSNBC, PBS, NBC, USA, and articles in the relevant Scientific journals. I tend to NOT believe
CONSPIRACY THEORIES of any origin especially if they are coming from DARK MEDIA and Russian and Chinese BOTS. It is easy to spot OBVIOUS disinformation that is designed to split and carve up various groups in the US.

Conspiracy theories work well in decrying Global Warming because the average America does NOT take the time to read and research things like CO2 pollution and dying coral reefs. Starting about 1980 the OIL LOBBY knew that they needed to use disinformation techniques against the Scientists because they had their large CASH COW of OIL profits to protect. And protect......they have......very successfully. Even today when we are on the brink of a US recession, the OIL companies are showing RECORD profits. They want to keep that a secret to rake in more PROFITS and keep saying HOAX while the environment suffers........arctic ice disappears, Antarctic ice melts into the sea, the coral reefs die, and the US and the world's fishing industry is decimated.

Ok, you started off by naming the UN. They are not a reliable source of information -- here is just one example ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_IlgwmCkFE Tell me one UN climate forecast that has come true.

OK....It took awhile but was able to track this down.
In 2017 the Department of Interior, under direction of Ryan Zinke ordered the NPS to remove signs at Glacier National Park that had anything to do with melting of glaciers and climate change. Without getting political it doesn't take much of a search to see who's administration Mr. Zinke served under.. There were some signs in the park that said glaciers in glacier national Park could be gone as early as the year 2020. This is actually a true statement. Several of the 26 named glaciers are at a level that does not qualify them as glaciers anymore, and all 26 glaciers have seen a minimum of 40% and as high as 80% erosion in the last 50 years. This fact has absolutely nothing to do with the decision to remove the signs.
So move forward to the OP. A prior administration removes signs for political reasons, and those signs' removal leads the OP to conclude that the science is all wrong because the signs were removed...when in fact they were removed for political reasons. Everyone to get it now?.
