So now we're up to 50 years from 30? OK, no problem----50 WHOLE YEARS out of the last 4.3 billion? Or I'll settle for all the 50-year periods for the last 4.5 million years of our CURRENT ICE AGE. (Yes, by definition, we are in an ICE AGE)

They don't call them experts for nothing..............

Let me correct that grammar:

They are experts AT nothing

Others might think environmentalism is obviously a long term survival strategy. I tend to agree.

The funny part is, I never heard anyone else refer to CO2 as a "control knob". Is that your creation, or are you just repeating it because you thought it sounded cool? 🫠

Yes! Unfortunately, some people can't "see the forest for the trees". Short term myopia. Maybe, if they got their heads out of their a ...rmpits (dodged a bullet there), they would actually see the truth all around them. Maybe they just can't handle the truth? 😒😑

Golf handicaps? Eagles not good enough for you? You wish to be called Golfing Aces now? 😉

Oh, we know! But you don't know the secret handshake, so we're not going to tell you.
Open your eyes. Open your mind. Open your search. You can find it, just like I and others have done. Or, ignore reality and sit around making fun of real science. Enjoy!

Uh? Wife left you for a guy with a huge "grant"? Is that what they're calling it these days? I call mine "meenie-weenie". Guess my wife hasn't met "Grant" yet?
Or, are you making up another one of your "acadamia nut" conspiracy stories again? Naughty Golfing Eagles! Tsk, Tsk. 🙈🙉🙊

Clearly a reply from someone unfamiliar with how academia works.

Earth is cold, dry and windy with hardly any cloud cover or CO2...Barely biological life sustaining. Earth should be bright white when viewed from outer space...Not blue. Hurricanes and tornados diminish as global temperatures rise because of smaller global temperature deltas (H and L pressure). We are obviously in an Ice Age. Obviously.

Right now here in Florida, we have massive amounts of cloud cover and RAIN. It makes sense because the Earth is setting an all time record for temperature. Warm air holds more moisture. That's why in The Villages our lakes are close to overflowing. As far as the sky being BLUE as seen from Earth and space, I believe that is due to blue being the shortest of the light frequencies and therefore being able to cut through the air best to be SEEN. As far as the Earth having "hardly ANY CO2" that is the exact opposite of our current condition where the Coral Reefs are all dying from TOO MUCH CO2. And the Earth having this year as a RECORD HOT year because of TOO MUCH CO2 being produced by factories and internal combustion engines. Also, hurricanes and tornadoes don't "diminish " ------just the opposite they become STRONGER and more frequent. Hurricanes are an Earth mechanism to COOL off the summer HEAT (WHICH GETS HIGHER EACH YEAR for the last 30 years). Since the Earth is at RECORD temperatures that would be the LARGEST factor as to the intensity and frequency of hurricanes and tornadoes. However, there are about 4 other factors that can also determine the number of hurricanes we will experience in ANY given year (like this year).
.........World population increase and automobile and ICE usage are likely to keep INCREASING for the foreseeable FUTURE due to human greed and shortsightedness. Only wars and disease can slow down population growth.

Thanks for the opinions. It is well known that nature has many checks and balances controlling earth's transfer of heat from the from the surface to outer space -- and one of them is hurricanes. Since global warming and the extra warming produced by Tonga is inhibiting hurricanes, nature is countering the lack of hurricanes with extended areas of tropical precipitation, because these thunderstorms also help cool the oceans and radiate heat to space. Once Tonga's heating event tappers off, so will hurricanes eventually come back.

OK, that seems like good, normal information to me. Keep up the good work.

Clearly, from someone who has some axe to grind with "academia".
After reading all the conspiracy theories of how academia supposedly works, I'm frankly amazed that we have any advances in science, medicine, technology, etc, at all. Following the logic of the academia conspiracy theory, we should still be living in caves and have our ailments treated by witch doctors or shamans. The only advancements would have to come from the loonie fringe, Iike an un-respected, secretive "Dr." Frankenstein or "dr," Moreau, performing their unauthorized experiments hidden away from prying eyes.
No! I believe that mainstream science gives us our best medicines for our ailments. I think it's better than treating things like, well, covid, for example, than doing nothing or injecting bleach, like some had suggested.
The current consensus is that humans are pushing global warming. Even during this part of the reported ice (internal combustion engine) age. Nuff said for now!
