Trump claims that he's "too intelligent" to believe in climate change.

I'm good, I guess...if you consider having the suicide squad at my place good....3 times if you want the truth. Some might disagree that it's good since they did stop me. It's been a rough year or so. However, I have been convinced that I shouldn't say I'm okay if I'm not so at least I'm not burying things in remote places in my mind anymore.
How are you?

Obama did the best he could with what he was dealt.

 

No, Einstein, I said talking about the poster is against TOS (it is...especially when it's in a convo with another member and that's all you're doing). If you aren't aware of that then you need to go read the TOS.

 

Yes

Glad you recognize that.

I was using your post to back up my argument that the average Democrats know nothing about the Democrat party.

I was also pointing out how you and a few other Democrats say bull ****, dodging the filter. Seems to be a popular phrase among Democrats...

 

Blah...Blah....Blah. Every year an area of carbon sink forest the size of England, Scotland and Wales is cut down. Fix that and we'll see where the CO2 level goes, that has to come first before we dump tons of money on white elephant fixes.

 

I do see exactly why some people think "warmies" are full of crap, it has a great deal to do with the logic of ignorance as you have just demonstrated.

An overall increase in avg temperature does not mean that everyplace on earth is noticeably hotter. What it does do is increase energy input into convection currents so it disrupts both air currents and ocean currents. Might want to consider the impact on those two little items. Then of course there is places proximity to the ocean which dictates air humidity. Then there is latitude and altitude.

The fact that it is snowing in the Californian mountains in May is a refection of the changing climate DUE to a warming world and atmosphere. More heat, warmer ocean currents, higher evaporation, higher winds, more precipitation, rain a lower altitudes, snow at higher ones. Its all in the high school textbooks.

The only real issue about climate change is to what extent do anthropogenic sources contribute/accelerate to the natural rate of change.

Sherman would be disappointed.

 

They surely shouldn't be noticeably colder, it snowed in the San Bernardino mountains where I live.

 

And yet his now deceased Wharton school professor of 31 years William T.Kelley said the following,"Donald Trump was the dumbest ******n student I ever had".

 

Actually yes it can be colder just like it can be wetter or stormier or warmer or drier or calmer. Its pretty straightforward since the local conditions are predicated on the characteristics and behavior of the main influencers of overall climactic conditions.

 

Climate change isn't about pollution, its about temperature. Trump's comment makes it sound like he doesn't understand the basic of this issue.

 

I know. I've tried pointing that out to the resident trumpers.

 

Sham Insanity is smarter than scientists!

 

Once again, Trump says something common sensical, which the libs call a 'gaffe'.

 

You make my point for me. You are mixing two things:
1. the science (which says that mankind has changed the CO2 levels in the atmosphere, and that this change is the primary driver behind the increase in the planet's temperature); and
2. the policies that are being proposed in response to the science.

You attack the science because you don't like the policies. That is wilful blindness.

 

A simple question from me.

Why do you accept that humans are in charge of global Climate?

 

Right. But who put humans in charge of Climate? Has it been proven that humans actually can manage climate?

What science proves humans are in charge of Climate?

 

Higher temperature never produces cold.

Cold is the absence of heat.

Try this. Unplug your refrigerator. Stick into the freezer a very hot pan of water. If it gets hotter, let us know. And of course it will get colder even with no electricity.

 

Strangely enough, i find no proof of some professor saying that. A google search shows only your statement on the WWW.

 

What a boatload of Bushwa. If the overall earth is warmer then even though there will be local variations, it isn't snowing in May in So Cal. You need a class in thermodynamics.

 

They are tied together. Clear cutting that much carbon sink trees is likely the primary driver of any warming. The science is crapola.

 

Especially when one considers that farm yields and tree growth has been increasing. That is, plants have been getting a little bigger, because of the increases in CO2.

 

Well you accept that mankind has an impact on the climate. That's a first step.

Do you have any data to support your assertion that, "Clear cutting that much carbon sink trees is likely the primary driver of any warming"?

How many tonnes of CO2 do we pump into the atmosphere every year? How many tonnes would these clear-cut areas remove?

I don't disagree that clear-cutting large areas COULD have an impact. But why do you say it has more of an impact than burning fossil fuels?

It seems to me that you draw a conclusion without any analysis (i.e. without any science) and then say that the science is "crapola" because you think it is inconsistent with your (non-scientific) conclusion. The irony of your statement is breathtaking.

 

Isn't his heart cold as ice everyday?

 

Really? Are there any studies that say that farm yields and tree growth are increasing because of an increase in CO2? Maybe there are, but I would have thought that improved management techniques would have a bigger effect than CO2 levels.

But feel free to show me otherwise.

 

Clearly more CO2 makes plants thrive. This is really the true way to handle this problem. We keep removing plants, especially in the 3rd world so it is time to prevent them from removing plants. At least here in America we are busy reforesting land and getting higher farm yields.

We were getting into the danger area in the 1800s and are darned fortunate CO2 commenced to rise. But it still is low compared to a normal for Earth.

 

YES I believe you nailed the problem.
