Cat toys!

Thought you knew that.

Most govt buildings in MN and CA have them in the mens bathrooms now. No clue how they use them.

Cat toys? Never heard of such a thing. Probably because I never had a cat. More of a dog person.

With all due respect...who is arguing that overall global temperatures have NOT increased over the past 30 years?

There were some early on, when the subject first appeared on TOTV. Most, if not all, seem to have come at least this far.

And I respect your post and that question. I believe that a lot of people are NOT aware of the rapid increase in world temperatures (Climate Change) in the last 15 or so years. This year 2024 is on schedule to be the absolutely HOTTEST WORLDWIDE since they have been keeping those records. I have read posts by TOTV"ers that say, "I don't notice ANY difference in temperature and I have live here for 10 years". I have seen at least 5 like that on TOTV. I would call these people "The UNAWARES" - THEY DON'T even KNOW that in Alaska and Russia that the tundra permafrost has melted and (possibly) exposed new diseases that humans have no defenses for - and they don't CARE.
.........Then there are "The AWARE people" in The Villages that know the temperatures around the world and HERE are HOTTER, but they have a problem with calling it MAN-MADE. They search and search for some esoteric non-man-made reason for the HEAT (maybe they are PAID secret agents of the US big 3 automobile manufacturers that want to hide the fact that the Higher temperatures are caused by gasoline consuming Golf carts, and automobiles and also industrial exhaust gas pollution.) That is unlikely, but they post things like there is a wobble in the earth's axis that causes more HEAT from the sun to hit the earth. Some say the sun's orbit is to blame. Some say that the Tonga eruption HEATS the upper atmosphere and thus the whole Earth. They basically want to say that it is NOT possible for MANKIND to affect something as large as the Earth.
.......Then there is the oil and gas industry that has a vested interest in gasoline driven automobiles. They managed to get the public to believe that Al Gore was a raving lunatic.
......Basically, many people on TOTV want to ignore the RECORD World HEAT that has been RAPIDLY increasing in the last 30 years and more rapidly in the last 5 years.And MANY OTHERS do not want to believe that it is MAN-MADE Global Warming.

And yet, those that believe ICE vehicles are the problem continue to drive them. Hmmm

Ah, but it's an attention grabber, it gets the "clicks" and that's all that matters. BTW, 50% chance of rain, snow, hail, clouds, winds, and....hurricane...LOL !

So in 2023, when they predicted less storms than normal, that was part of the same "government conspiracy"?

Would LOVE to know what people or organizations are making trillions off of unfavorable weather predictions? That would be 4% of the US GDP. It would be pretty hard to hide that much money.

Nothing to do with hurricane forecasts. Has to do with pushing the false narrative of anthropogenic global warming so we spend $168 TRILLION to "combat" it. Who is driving the narrative----billionaires with old money--Soros, Bilderberg group, international arms dealers--you pick

It takes awhile to make large scale changes in society. The gas and oil industry pays big money in Washington to keep the status quo. Electric vehicles (which have superior qualities like less maintenance) will have to have improved design for car and batteries BEFORE achieving POPULAR support.That is why the government must FIGHT the oil and gas companies and emphasize E-vehicles.

Maybe, but that doesn't explain why you don't drive one. I drive a Tesla. Why don't you?

Every year in recent history (30 yrs) the Earth gets WARMER. That is WAY beyond the control of any one person like Soros.

Every year? Not one year where the average temps were a bit cooler? Even a little bit?

I'm one of those that still drive my old, paid for small ice powered car. Rather than spend 30 to 50k for battery power, I have chosen to change my habits. One was to eliminate driving of dirty diesel motor home 40+k miles per year at 7-10 mpg. Eliminate the tow vehicle usage of @10k miles per year. Dw and I get @30 mpg and drive less than 10k miles per year now. Our fuel bill is @10% of what it was. While I believe e vehicles are currently the best choice for most applications, I am aware of new and better options that I believe may be available in the not too distant future. Dw and I also do other things that are more eco-friendly as opportunities arise. We are not completely fossil fuel free, but we are 90+% there. Our traveling days are over.
Does that answer your "Hmmm?" Just because I still use my ice car does not blind me to the damage they do.

Not everyone is in a position to always do what they would like to do. Consider yourself one of the fortunate ones.

Who is driving the narrative? Its not one person. It's everyone on earth that sees and recognizes the damage and causes. Basically everyone who isn't caught up in the conspiracy cult.
News Flash! Anthropogenic global warming is real! And everybody who isn't deluded by the conspiracy club knows it.

If human activity is the cause, please explain how we started warming the planet 20,000 years ago while living in caves-----kerosene space heaters??? Gas powered portable generators??? Saber toothed tiger farts??? Fred Flintstone's SUV???

The REAL "conspiracy" is those that are in position to line their pockets with the $168 TRILLION price tag of the Paris accords. And they are laughing at those that they convinced to join their bandwagon:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

Your first paragraph is hilarious. 20,000 years? OK, we'll go with that, for the simplified version. They didn’t! At least not globally that one might notice. But, any animal can have an impact on climate by changing its surroundings. A beaver moves into a grassy valley. Builds a dam on the stream. Over the years pond is formed. Sediment enriches the soil. Trees grow. The once semi-arid valley is now a forest with a lake and a cool, damp micro climate.
Our impact really began as our kind spread across the earth and our numbers rose. But we really came into our own with the industrial revolution and our use of fossil fuel. Now, with over 8,000,000,000 of us building factories and farms, removing high-yeild (oxygen) forest and replacing it with destructive low-yeild farms, factories, cities and more, distorting smoke, smog, and pollutants of every kind. And you can seriously and honestly doubt that humans have zero effect on climate? REALLY? 😯😲😳

You have narratives -- I have data. Global warming and more CO2 are good for earth.

Yes, 20,000 years. Even the most committed anthropogenic global warming cultist cannot dispute that our current interglacial thaw within our current cycle of warming/cooling that has repeated itself over the past 4.5 million years began about 20,000 years ago. I realize that one of the cult's mantras is to ignore the facts, ignore paleoclimatology and use fear tactics to delude the public, but it is hard to apply revisionist history to that basic fact.

The facts (not manufactured, cherry picked, or misrepresented) combine to overwhelmingly demonstrate that human endeavors across the globe have increasingly influenced global warming. Deny it all you want. It won't change what the best and brightest scientists around the world have already proved. But, like the flat earth enthusiasts, there are small enclaves of climate deniers clinging to any straw (or graph) that they think demonstrates their idealogy. A had picked graph or two or a temperature anomaly prove nothing, but show the desperation to hang on to their belief, no matter what.

Heard all that clap-trap before. It is the global warming alarmists/cultists that are in denial, the facts are right in front of their faces but they cannot see them.

100 % Backward. Open your eyes (and mind)! The facts are very well known. The mountains of evidence there for all to see. Published over and over again. Peer reviewed, checked again and again until only the most diehard still refuse the truth. Denying is easy with eyes (and mind) closed.
