I would believe NASA long before I would believe the latest loud mouth on a FOX station.

And it takes a strong mind to deal with the threat of global warming. A weak one just believes it is all a hoax when it cannot deal with reality.

I struggle to see global warming as something other than a form of free energy. I'm all for clean(er) air and water, but I struggle to find much to scare me about a few feet of sea level rise. I *have* been wrong before, though, and always enjoy learning. :-)

Men? Since when do men have uteruses? Oh, you mean women who are pretending to be men?...Then they are not men, they have taken testosterone to look like a man on the outside, but they will never be a man.

No Fred Flintstone did not drive an SUV.
The proliferation of A/C in virtually ever home is helping global warming since the 60’s
Standing next to my A/c condenser doing some yard work this mornin ohboy the heated air coming from it made me retreat inside today it’s 80° with a heat index of 87° it’s 08:20

And the heat you feel standing next to the condenser came from the inside of your house which is now correspondingly cooler, a net sum zero transaction except for the electricity used to power the AC.

Bingo. My wife and I got in a round on Amberwood, finishing just as the first drops came down. And we NEVER us a golf cart on the course, only pull carts.

Yeah, it was hot. But I used to ski back in Minnesota when it was 30 below zero. You can complain about the weather, or you can embrace it. We choose to embrace it.

By the way, I was just interested in how FOX got pulled into the conversation, and which one of their employees was the "loud mouth" that he brings into the conversation frequently. I used to watch FOX some, but they seemed to be moving too much to the left. I get my news from Internet sources. Like most folks, I do not enjoy hearing opinion mixed into news. If I want opinion, I can read or watch commentators.

I never heard the expression of a steeple in fox clothing. Is that a new one? I find it difficult to imagine a steeple in clothes. I also can not think of what clothes a fox wears.

Back UpNort, we had a custom called the "Polar Plunge". Usually held as a fundraiser though some people did it for fun, usually aided by a few shots of slivovitz. People gathered pledges, then on the day of the "plunge", usually New Year's day for some reason, a large hole was cut in the ice of some lake, maybe 50' x 50' or so, strip down to swim trunks or whatever one usually swam in, and jump in. You got extra applause if you could swim the length of the hole and crawl out on the other side. Certain body parts would shrink down to beneath minuscule, if you get my drift.

Along the same lines, Duluth, MN, during my time there, had a club called the Polar Bear Club. Each New Year's Day, members of the club would take a swim in Lake Superior. Great fun!

I prefer my glasses half full.

You haven't heard? According to a planned parenthood doctor namedDr. Kumar. in his testimony before congress, stated "Men can have pregnancies, especially trans men,". The statement is confusing on multiple levels. Let's assume he believes women who identify as men are real men (I know, right.). He goes on to say men can get pregnant, "especially" trans men. I wonder what other types of men he believes can get pregnant.

Good point.

Wrong
“ The condensing temperature of the refrigerant is usually about 30–35 degrees F above the ambient (outside) air. So the air temp will be roughly about 25–30 degrees over the outside air (we always move more air than we absolutely need across the coil).”

Well, this is a no brainier. A trans man is still a woman until she has her female organs removed.

False conspiracy, push buttons, leading weak minded people on? Go back and read newspapers from the 1800's and the early 1900's, this is nothing new, it's always been this way and always will be. It's not a conspiracy on the right or the lefts part, it's a way to sell newspapers and get viewers. Nothing new there.

Wrong. Look at the volume of air in a house as compared to the outdoors. This is exactly the principle upon which heat pumps work. You cannot create more heat by exchanging it---simple thermodynamic principle. the only added heat comes from the inefficiency of the unit and the power that is used

We are currently in the Holocene epoch which dates back about 12,000 years when the glaciers began to recede. Not our fault. But that is when humans began to thrive. There have been world droughts lasting about 100 years, about 4,200 years ago, again, not our fault, and mini ice ages in the 1,500’s, again, not our fault. Borings show huge temperature variations throughout the history of the earth and that will not change. No one knows why the Holocene period began and no one knows when it will end. I think worrying about it does not make sense. You want to have an impact on quality of life, stop using disposable plastics.
