    Good News. Global Warming Will Not End Life As We Know It

    Well there is this, from Americans: The American public isn’t as divided on climate change as you might think. The definitive polling on climate, from the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication, shows that the number of Americans who think global warming is happening outnumber those who...

    Good News. Global Warming Will Not End Life As We Know It

    For a Christian, the goal is to live a life as an imitation of Christ. It's not about who dies with the most money.

    Good News. Global Warming Will Not End Life As We Know It

    Deniers get all hysterical about the science. But the fact is, we're not all going to die. A lot of people are getting hurt by the changes, and more will hurt in the future. But the world won't end. Calm yourself.

    Good News. Global Warming Will Not End Life As We Know It

    To a higher concentration, and as you just learned, global temperatures are thereby rising. You're still not getting it. By the late 1800s, scientists realized that an increase in CO2 in the atmosphere would cause warming. And now the data confirms it. You have it backwards: Yeah, I know...

    Do you believe in biological evolution?

    THE MYTH OF THE 1970s GLOBAL COOLING SCIENTIFIC CONSENSUS Climate science as we know it today did not exist in the 1960s and 1970s. The integrated enterprise embodied in the Nobel Prizewinning work of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change existed...

    And once more, how carbon is driving rising temperatures: You should base your decisions on data, not tabloid articles.

    Good News. Global Warming Will Not End Life As We Know It

    But as you have seen, we are seeing more extreme weather. I see your issue now. You think the World News Daily is a scientific source. No wonder you got confused. Try to find scientific data, not tabloid headlines. It's not just a recent thing: Nature Mar 2012 A decade of weather...

    Good News. Global Warming Will Not End Life As We Know It

    It's just the one greenhouse gas that's increasing. To a higher concentration, and as you just learned, global temperatures are thereby rising. Takes a lot more than that. Millions of tons of CO2: About 1079 metric tons per second globally, from burning fossil fuels. Over 31 million...

    But as you have seen, we are seeing more extreme weather. Well, let's see the data... Floods Between 2000 and 2020, the number of major floods worldwide more than doubled, from 1,389 to 3,254, while the incidence of storms grew from 1,457 to 2,034, according to a United Nations report...

    Good News. Global Warming Will Not End Life As We Know It

    That's the indication. We know that atmospheric carbon drives atmospheric temperatures, something discovered back in the late 1800s. That's a testable belief. Let's look at the data... Sorry, you're wrong. It's just the one that's increasing. And equally important, it absorbs infrared...

    Good News. Global Warming Will Not End Life As We Know It

    See above. Lots of evidence for warming. It's just a fact. But your assumption that it means it threatens all life on the planet is false. You brought it up. Up to you to defend it or admit it's false.

    Good News. Global Warming Will Not End Life As We Know It

    Your claims, not mine. Up to you to defend them. Well, it's good that you now admit it. But as you have seen, we are seeing more extreme weather. Warming means more energy in the atmosphere, and thereby more extreme weather. Well, let's look at your assumptions. What evidence would...

    Good News. Global Warming Will Not End Life As We Know It

    Actually, more extreme weather is what warming brings. You're still ignoring the moral point that the warming going on now, is causing more extreme weather and is harming people. Your assumption that more extreme weather is good is not supported by the evidence. Scientists have pointed this...

    I don't know what it is, but I can't stand the idea of being 'beaten' by "Evolution" - Creation is *too beautiful* to be sidelined by angry naysayers!

    Funny thing is, no one can point to a limit. There isn't a species on Earth that has evolved as far as it can go, with no additional genes to be added.

    I don't know what it is, but I can't stand the idea of being 'beaten' by "Evolution" - Creation is *too beautiful* to be sidelined by angry naysayers!

    That's wrong... There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed by the Creator into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most...

    Do you believe in biological evolution?

    See, that's the issue. Science assumes the universe exists, but doesn't say anything about how it started. That's a religious question. Science only deals with the universe as it is, and it can neither assert nor deny a creator. Science can't do that, but scientists can.

    Do you believe in biological evolution?

    Hundreds or thousands of different religious ideas about it. Only one scientific theory at present. There's an obvious reason for that.

    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...
