    They why do you deny what they’re saying? After all it’s a hoax! The scientists all over the world must be part of a conspiracy

    Your site is so funny...you really take it seriously?
    Did you really believe 500 scientists said that? Use commonsense...if it were true it would be all over the news .no wonder trump loves his base.

    Climate change is real and natural

    Man-made global warming that will lead to doomsday in “x” years is a hoax

    Snopes? As the ultimate source? Really? Ok. They missed this one

    Prominent scientists warn UN Secretary-General Guterres
    A group of 500 prominent scientists and professionals, led by the CLINTEL co-founder Guus Berkhout, has sent a registered letter to the Secretary-General of the UN, António Guterres. They warn the Secretary-General that “[c]urrent climate policies pointlessly and grievously undermine the economic system, putting lives at risk in countries denied access to affordable, reliable electrical energy.”
    They add: “We urge you to follow a climate policy based on sound science, realistic economics and genuine concern for those harmed by costly but unnecessary attempts at mitigation.”

    The European Climate Declaration sent as part of the letter to Guterres was drafted by climate ambassadors from 14 countries. The official presentation of the Declaration (including the release of the full list of signees) will be held in Oslo on October 18 during the Natural Variability and Tolerance conference. More press conferences will follow in Brussels and Rome.--https://clintel.nl/prominent-scientists-warn-un-secretary-general-guterres/

    ...Then quickly rebutted by his colleagues. "As [Lindzen's] colleagues at MIT in the Program in Atmospheres, Oceans and Climate, all of whom are actively involved in understanding climate, we write to make it clear that this is not a view shared by us, or by the overwhelming majority of other scientists who have devoted their professional lives to careful study of climate science."

    I can't say it is or isn't happening. I can't say it is or isn't a serious threat. That's because, like Lindzen and his co-signers, I'm not a climate scientist. Like everyone one else, I can only accept or deny what others say.

    Yes!The reason that we had the best and brightest teachers was because they were women and were able to be paid less for such an important job.. But then the women’s movement came and gave women the opportunities to make real money in medicine in Law and accounting etc..Men weren’t in the profession because they took up professions that paid more. When they started raising salaries they were able to get better teachers. My son-in-law is such a good example. He is an engineer and would be an amazing teacher and he would love to be a teacher but he’s making so much more money. Money attracts!

    Which is why he got an engineering degree instead of going into teaching. Just so you know, they have women engineers too.

    That is my point. Years ago they didn’t have women engineers except for the few exceptions. Now rather than teach they go into professions that pay double.My son-in-law would have taught if it had paid more money.
    Every year I am invited in June to encourage the best teachers to stay in the profession. That is one of the biggest problems in education today. I hear the same thing from the teachers. They leave because they get little respect and low pay. I guess people feel that educating the future citizens of our country just isn’t that important

    Well, I'm not a mystic, but I can tell you for sure, there are no gremlins, just like there is no climate catastrophe caused by fathers and mothers driving their children to Disney World in an air-conditioned car staying at an air-conditioned resort, and eating burgers at Disney's Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe featuring Sonny Eclipse.

    Nor am I a weatherman, but here's the forecast for St. Louis, Missouri, 2050: During the summer--warm and hot with some record highs, record humidity, and some record cool days and rainfall; in the fall--wet with periods of cool rain mixing in with warm days and cool nights with some record rainfall here and there, as well as record snowfall on at least one day, and a gradually cooling of temperatures; for the winter--frigid cold and snow, with periods of moderate temps and rain and record lows and highs; in the spring-- months of wet and cool with some record highs and lows, tornado warnings, thunderstorms, and a day or two of thunder-snow. It will happen.

    Simply put, what will the weather be in America in 2050, same as its always been, some record cold, some record heat, some record rainfall, some record snowfall, with normalcy being the norm. Bet I'm right.

    Betting or guessing is the best we can do. We can speak with authoritative voices, but not with authority. My bet is that I won't be around in 2050, so I'll let the kids worry about it. Maybe we can meet up on the other side and one of us will say, "See? I told you so!"

    I hope You are sharing your knowledge that the weather will be the same in 2050. You can bet you’re right and you may even be right but caring people want it studied to see if perhaps you’re wrong.The most prestigious environmentalist scientist all over the world and agree with you

    They can study all they want, what they have no moral right to do is demand I sacrifice my life to common good based on scientific delusions, like what they did with DTT. Fk that.

    If the common good requires human sacrifices, it's not good. Ask the Mayans. They learned the hard way.

    I think you may be comparing apples and oranges. Teachers have an education but not to the level of an engineer, a doctor or a lawyer. Educators also et paid more as they continue their education and move into the higher paying jobs in administration or teaching at a university.

    The know they'll have to deal with the inaction taken by those empowered today, & they are concerned--as they should be. Our inaction will definitely impact their lives in ways both they & we will come to regret.

    You talked me into it I think there should be no regulations on automobiles and we should go back to gasoline that was cheaper because we don’t really give a damn about the environment it’s all scientific delusions. They also said the same thing about cigarette smoking that it was only a plot against the tobacco companies. I think we should all go back to smoking. And why do we need the fake food inspections? Horsemeat won’t hurt us.Or better yet we should just go back to the way life was in the days of the Mayans

    I guess teaching small children and shaping them for future education is minor. Teachers need masters degrees . Your attitude is part of the reason why people aren’t going in for teaching.Yes engineers and doctors and lawyers have higher education perhaps but the point I was making is that women are now entering these fields, when they didn’t have the options they were the best teachers.I think this country just gives lipservice to how much we value our children
    I remember something my husband said to me that made me feel so good. He had gotten a ridiculous bonus on Wall Street and it just made me think about what I got paid… He looked at me and said, “I make money , you change lives” And I know that is true

    They still don’t know what causes cancer. Why most people who smoke don’t die of lung cancer. Or why many who don’t smoke still get lung cancer. But even if it were true, it does not justify the damage the hysteria did to free speech.

    As to the rest, you jest, but really, it would be for the best to live one’s own quest instead of groveling at feet of those who fret, like a Greta—a chicken-little straight out of the nest.

    The logic behind catastrophic global warming is absurd—flying to Hawaii on your honeymoon is going to flood LA, and eventually end human life on earth, in 12 years. That’s a bold face lie.
