These watermelons obviously don’t care about the environment or wild life. Everything they propose is worse - for the environment, wild life and humans. Ever see lithium mining? Batteries are the worst!

I read an article about the most vulnerable, the poorest of the poor in Africa. With less availability of oil, they resort to burning dung in their tents, inhaling all that smoke. Life expectancies drop. The watermelons don’t care. They only care about replacing oil. Watermelons - green on the outside; red to the core inside.
Wow I can't keep up with this thread so couldn't read everything.

I wanted to mention our farmers in California need water. But because of a certain tiny endangered fish, they aren't able to get the water they need.

Oh I did want to say that the ice flows in the Artic are melting. I watch nature shows sometimes and the Polar bears are having a harder time because ice flows are farther apart.

Show us that. I think someone was pulling your leg. Buffalo don't actually fart greenhouse gases. They do belch them, but there aren't enough buffalo in the world to matter much. Maybe there are enough cattle, but I haven't seen the numbers.


Yes, climate has fluctuated. The carbon content in the Earth's atmosphere has been high before, with the same results. We're just doing it faster than it usually goes.
cow pharts , cow belches . When o when will this people realize
science has been molded to fit an agenda .
They SAY , They cliam we are doing it faster than it usually goes .
Time for the peoples to start asking some questions . Who profits off this whole thing .
Now visualize it . Cause judas claimed he loved the poor too and that money could have been given to the poor .
OH but while HE SAID that , HE HELD THE BAG , HE said it not cause he cared for the poor but cause hims was covetous .
THIS whole so callled we need to do this for humanity
this whole call for also redist of weatlh
This whole call for a world of equity and justiice ,
FRIEND, when you gonna figure out THEY SAY , they cause fear , they offer solutions
BUT IT AINT for humanity at all . THEY GONNA HOLD THE BAG and Sit high over that digital system .
WE , as in EVERY last human on earth IS BEING LIED TOO . And they KNOW HOW to sell a lie and make it seem
SO GOOD for humanites sake . THIS is your amber alert . WE ALL BEING LIED TOO
Just a friendly reminder to us all .

Oh humanity we need a world of equity and justice for all ...........................or so they say .
OH humanity we need redist of wealth for the sake of the poor . ... Or so they cliam
Oh humanity we need a strong AI led digital system to end poverty , to end injustice ,
to ensure equality for all , OR so they say
Oh humanity the earth is in danger we must go green for the sake of the safety of this world , OR SO THEY claim
Oh religoins of mother earth we all need to merge as one for the sake of peace , OR so they Claim
Oh we need this solution to end all wars and create peace , for so THEY say
BUT HAS ANYONE EVEN BOTHERED to ask themselves , JUST WHO is gonna sit over and control such a system .
DO remember one once said , BUT HEY could not this have been sold and given to the poor . Oh such a heart
for the poor , OR SO HE CLAIMED . BUT HIMS said so , NOT FOR THE Poor but cause HE HELD THE BAG .
WE , as in every sheepls on earth , OH WE BEING LIED TOO .
THAT so called system , that so called justice for all , that so called equality for all ,
IT AINT FOR us , ITS SO THEY CAN SIT HIGH over this world and have all power and all control .
And the devil sure knew how to tempt them all to beleive they could attain such a thing .
YET it was all for to prepare this world for the beast . Yeah , WE BEING LIED too all right . but so ma ny

Yes. For example, Exxon was telling us that warming was a hoax at the same time they were planning their operations to deal with warming:

Research shows that company modeled and predicted global warming with ‘shocking skill and accuracy’ starting in the 1970s

Projections created internally by ExxonMobil starting in the late 1970s on the impact of fossil fuels on climate change were very accurate, even surpassing those of some academic and governmental scientists, according to an analysis published Thursday in Science by a team of Harvard-led researchers. Despite those forecasts, team leaders say, the multinational energy giant continued to sow doubt about the gathering crisis.
In “Assessing ExxonMobil’s Global Warming Projections,” researchers from Harvard and the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research show for the first time the accuracy of previously unreported forecasts created by company scientists from 1977 through 2003. The Harvard team discovered that Exxon researchers created a series of remarkably reliable models and analyses projecting global warming from carbon dioxide emissions over the coming decades. Specifically, Exxon projected that fossil fuel emissions would lead to 0.20 degrees Celsius of global warming per decade, with a margin of error of 0.04 degrees — a trend that has been proven largely accurate.

Yes. They are increasingly coming ashore to find food. And they are raiding trash cans in rural villages in Northern Canada. Not your usual raccoon pest.

The fun part, as always, is picking apart the logic of their arguments. One of their favorite is Appeal to Authority; they only want to acknowledge evidence in support of their position and anything else is not credible. (I must already have the Barbarian on ignore. LOL. But for this thread, maybe I'll be a sport about it. :-))

The Barbarian loves pseudo-science. That's all he ever talks about on this forum.

First I refuted his claims on the theory of evolution. Then on another thread I refuted his claims on the covid hoax and covid injections.

So I'm not surprised he is here, on point, trying to support the climate change agenda

I'm just pointing out that your agenda is based on denying the evidence. I'm sure you were surprised to learn that Exxon, while telling you that climate change was a hoax. had secretly predicted it, and was making plans to deal with it.

You're a victim only as long as you keep believing the corporations and politicians who are telling you that the scientists are lying.

I have supreme confidence in our God and Christ Jesus my savior. God has sovereign authority over all His creation. God alone controls the weather, climate, and everything. He spoke it into being and its a little thing to control His creation. Nothing is impossible with God.

"The science is settled," is a political claim that a politician made and is anti-science

That is one of the main red flags of pseudo-science. Here are the red flags I see in the climate change narrative that makes it a pseudo-science

1- Claim of infallibility.
"The science is settled"
Saying that is claiming infallibility, it tells everyone that it cannot be opposed. This goes against scientific enquiry and is done to keep people from questioning it.

2- Ostracization of opposing voices.
"Climate denier"
This is also done to prevent having any debate about the matter. Easier to just ostracise them with a personal attack.

3- Conflict of interests.
It comes in several forms

- Politicians and such have shares in the wind and solar industries.

- Once a government spends millions of dollars on wind and solar they become invested. The last thing they want to hear is that man made climate change is not real and that they wasted their money. So they will deny and ignore any evidence that opposes them.

- So called climate scientists keep the lie going to obtain funding. If they said there was no man made climate change then they wouldn't receive any funding from anyone, so they make it look like their making progress to get funding.

Their the main ones but their is also appeal to authority, confirmation bias, assumptions over correlation and causation, ideological support, red herrings, failure to use Occam's razor, rejecting negative findings, cherry picking data.

All these red flags tell me that this is most definitely a pseudo-science.

I've seen propaganda shows like this as well. They make it seem like polar bears are endanger when their populations are actually rising AND ice on the other pole is increasing. Why is Antarctica’s mass increasing?

Alarmist Claim #12: 97% of scientists agree global warming is manmade.

FACT: WSJ found the 97% consensus to be predicated on “a handful of surveys and abstract-counting exercisesthat have been contradicted by more reliable research.”
Many people are unaware of this. There is no corresponding list of proponents.

Less extreme weather is good, right?
Another observation about alarmists; they side step the moral implications of evidence that goes against their hysteria. @The Barbarian can't admit that less extreme weather is a good thing for the human condition.

I recall the hysteria after hurricane Andrew that due to AGW, hurricanes would increase in frequency and intensity. A decade later, I shows these same alarmists data from NOAA that the opposite is true AND tried to get them to acknowledge the moral implications of less extreme weather. Silence.

So, their position is extreme weather is bad but moderate weather is something not to be acknowledged as good. That's how you know advocates of manmade global warming are misanthropic.

God makes fools of wise men. 1 Corinthians 1:18-20 -
18 For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written,
“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
And the cleverness of the clever I will set aside.”

20 Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

From https://www.epw.senate.gov/public/_...uting-12-claims-made-by-climate-alarmists.pdf

Refuting 12 Claims Made by Climate Alarmists

Alarmist Claim #1: Antarctic Peninsula is shrinking

FACT: 2008 peer-reviewed paper in American Geophysical Union found “a doubling in snow accumulation in
the western Antarctic Peninsula since 1850.”

Alarmist Claim #2: Glaciers are melting throughout the world.

FACT: A UN Report in 2010 reported that “glaciers increasing despite climate change… glaciers in many areas of
the world are increasing.”

Alarmist Claim #3: The IPCC stated the Himalayan glaciers would melt by 2035. .

FACT: The IPCC got that unsubstantiated and false statistic from a World Wildlife Federation brochure. In
January 2010, Time magazine article, Himalayan Melting, How a Climate Panel Got it Wrong: “Glaciergate” is a
“black eye for the IPCC and the climate-science community as a whole.”

Alarmist Claim #4: Polar Bears are disappearing.

FACT: Director of Wildlife Research with the Arctic Government of Nunavut: “Of 13 populations of polar bears
in Canada, 11 are stable or increasing in number. They are not going extinct, or even appear to be affected at
present.”
FACT: In the 50’s and 60’s there were between 5,000 and 10,000 polar bears. Today there are between 15,000 and
25,000.

Alarmist Claim #5: May 2013, President Obama claimed the climate is warming faster than anybody anticipated five or 10 years ago.”

FACT: Nature reported “For the period [1998-2012] the observed trend of temperatures is … not significantly
different from zero and suggests a temporary hiatus in global warming.”
FACT: The Economist reported “over the past 15 years, air temperatures at the Earth’s surface have been flat …”

Alarmist Claim #6: 2014 was the warmest year in modern record by 0.02 degree.

FACT: Only a “38% chance 2014 was the warmest year on record.” Margin of error, which on average is 0.1 degree
Celsius, made “impossible to conclude 2014 was the warmest year” according to the Berkeley Earth Surface
Temperature (BEST) project stated,

Alarmist Claim #7: In 2000, Democrats started saying that the science is settled.

FACT: I started getting phone calls from scientists disagreeing so I made a speech on the floor showing how many
scientists disagreed.

Alarmist Claim #8: Global warming is causing more tornadoes.

FACT: A NOAA scientist rejected global warming link to tornados stating “no specific consensus or connection
between global warming and tornadic activity.”

Alarmist Claim #9: Global warming is causing hurricanes to increase in intensity and frequency.

FACT: Geophysical Research Letters found “since 2006 tropical cyclone energy has decreased dramatically” to the
lowest levels since the 1970s. Global frequency of tropical cyclones has reached a historic low.
Alarmist Claim #10: Global warming is leading to an increased number of droughts.

FACT: IPCC Fifth Assessment report, previous “conclusions regarding global increasing trend in drought since
the 1970s were probably overstated.”​

Alarmist Claim #11: Global warming is causing sea levels to rise at a rapid pace.

FACT: Journal of Geophysical Research found “there has been no statistically significant acceleration in sea level​
rise over the past 100 plus years.”​

Alarmist Claim #12: 97% of scientists agree global warming is manmade.

FACT: WSJ found the 97% consensus to be predicated on “a handful of surveys and abstract-counting exercises​
that have been contradicted by more reliable research.”​

On this post alone you have well and truly refuted global warming or climate change or whatever they want to call it. Good work

Actually, more extreme weather is what warming brings. As you saw, insurance companies are leaving the gulf states because increasingly severe storms have made it impossible to underwrite property insurance effectively.
I recall the hysteria after hurricane Andrew that due to AGW, hurricanes would increase in frequency and intensity. A decade later, I shows these same alarmists data from NOAA that the opposite is true AND tried to get them to acknowledge the moral implications of less extreme weather. Silence.
Well, that's a testable belief. Let's take a look at the data...
1779368203117.png
Yes, severity is rising. But something else I found...
1779368309629.png
Frequency is rising for all storms.
So, their position is extreme weather is bad but moderate weather is something not to be acknowledged as good.
So you believe that the best argument is to invent ideas for other people? Seriously?
That's how you know advocates of manmade global warming are misanthropic.
Seems like you do. I don't think it will give you the results you hope for. I'm not unsympathetic; you've got a tough position to defend. But the answer is to frame an argument that explains the reality, not to create an alternative to reality.

"The science is settled"
Saying that is claiming infallibility, it tells everyone that it cannot be opposed. This goes against scientific enquiry and is done to keep people from questioning it.
Lots of non-scientists think that science claims "infallibility." It's commonly claimed by those who don't like what science finds. Deniers of climate change often label those who accept scientific data as "alarmists" Easier to just ostracize them with a personal attack.
3- Conflict of interests.
It comes in several forms
For example, Exxon's scientists very accurately predicted warming climate. This finding was a threat to income, so the company hid their findings while at the same time used those findings to prepare the company for warming.

Politicians and such get huge funding from corporations with an agenda to hide climate change. Many politicians have shares in such companies. Industry lobbyists give billions to politicians to stop more efficient energy sources. The last thing they want to hear is that man made climate change is a scientific fact and that they wasted their money. So they will deny and ignore any evidence that opposes them.

I wanted to mention our farmers in California need water. But because of a certain tiny endangered fish, they aren't able to get the water they need.
There's a bigger issue at hand:
California’s snowpack is nearly gone this year, and new measurements show just how severe the situation has become.

State water officials conducted their most important manual snow survey of the season on Wednesday at Phillips Station near Lake Tahoe. It’s a site that typically represents statewide conditions at a time when the snowpack is traditionally at its peak.

This year, they found no measurable snow. Only a few scattered patches prevented it from becoming the lowest reading in recorded history.

How bad is it statewide?

Across California, the snowpack is sitting at just 18% of average.

That makes it the second-lowest April measurement on record.

A stretch of unusually warm weather in March accelerated melting across the Sierra Nevada, wiping out much of what had accumulated earlier in the winter.

Why does snowpack matter?

The Sierra snowpack plays a critical role in California’s water system. It typically provides about 30% of the state’s water supply.

Snowpack acts as a natural reservoir, storing water over winter and releasing it slowly as temperatures warm in spring and summer.

Rain doesn’t do that, but more of California’s precipitation is now falling as rain instead of snow.

When precipitation falls as rain, most of it runs off quickly.

Climate scientists say California’s disappearing snowpack is part of a longer-term shift and is a trend that’s expected to continue as the climate warms.


And the snowlines are moving higher, meaning less water stored as snow:

Observed and projected changes in snow accumulation and snowline in California’s snowy mountains

  • May 2023
  • Climate Dynamics 61(9-10):1-16
California and much of the American west is going to continue to be drier over the next few decades.
