    I've done my time in uniform. Have you?.

    But, if I was still 22, I would want to be on the first plane over.

    Do you believe the hoaxers? Have you personally, individually, personally cut wayyyyyyy back on your lifestyle to prove to the rest of us that you think its a crisis, or do you prefer standing on a corner waving a sign?

    Mount Pinatubo in the Phillipines actually did that. Smoke, ash, chlorine gas, etc.

    You keep moving the goal posts. Peer reviewed is meaningless when the peers are being paid big bucks to perpetuate the lies.

    So you got no science. Ok

    I too did my time. But are you saying that means you are under no obligation to PERSONALLY get involved in the fight against Isis? But others are required to PERSONALLY make sacrifices in the fight against AGW. Sounds hypocritical to me.

    They are volunteering you to pay and stop driving.

    do you even know what the ginned up talking point means are you just repeating what you find on the WH web site?

    What are your efforts, other than driving power and fuel prices so high that our economy collapses,, which is what 0 wants?? While a lot of the American people have been tricked into believing that it is getting warmer still less than half believes that mankind caused the warming.
    If mankind is causing a planet killing warming cycle we should immediately kill the biggest producers of CO2. Is that what you want the cleansing of the planet by killing the poor people who want electric lights and a gas powered motor bike? Or do you just want to deny them the least degree of prosperity??

    The liberal horde is so cruel but 0 has shown us the evil depths to which progressives will stoop to hold power. 0's community organizing did nothing but reinforce the idea that Blacks can't survive without the chains of government dependence shackled to their necks.
    They are volunteering you to pay and stop driving.

    The reason the liberal horde believes in global warming is because their local liberal TV stations report that the another high temperature record has been broken down town Austin and at the air port.

    Please don't go there; the more the scientists look at the "Z" the more worried they become. It is a made to order virus for scientists to study for years and years. I heard yesterday or was it this morning that we may all already have the "Z" effecting our memories or is recital dysfunction? It's a horror story and we have to spend billions to get a very expensive vaccine

    You want to talk about volcanoes;; check this --
    http://www.volcanodiscovery.com/worldwide-volcano-activity/daily-reports.html
    Take a look at this web site and notice that 2010, which was a record hot year for GW lovers had a lot of volcanoes. https://theextinctionprotocol.wordp...mber-of-volcanoes-erupting-across-the-planet/

    The little bit of warming that we see from time to tome is caused by sun spots and volcanoes. If the liberal horde wants to stop driving and using electricity that's fine with me but I will keep my HEMI Dodge.

    Seems reasonable and rational to me considering ISIS is very difficult to fight personally but fighting AGW is very, very doable and practical (and almost everyone on the planet has contributed to the problem...not so with ISIS).

    They don't need me. Don't need people over 50 - more of a burden than a help. However, the hoaxers are demanding ALL of us turn our money and control over our lives over to them without showing us they are willing to get in the boat and row. Al Gore flies in private jets between his multiple mansions (like Leo deCaprio) yet I am expected to drive a crappy Prius, pay more for electricity because the hoaxers think Solar and Wind are the answer, and pay higher taxes for them to spend on more Solyndra Boondoggles.

    I can't go to DOD and have them to send me to the sandbox, but YOU can move out of your house to a tiny apartment to do your part. And you can do it TODAY before we all die agonizing deaths. C'mon, sport. Show us your dedication.

    Better yet, get Algore to give up all that money he got from AlJazeera and spend it to put solar panels on poor people's homes.

    I know of no plan to take all your money and force you to buy A Prius. Are you suggesting that every single man of military age in this country that has not gone down to his recruiter and tried to join the fight against Isis is not doing his part. It sounds like we have a nation of hypocrites. This is the stupidest argument I have ever heard. Think there is too much illegal immigration? Join the border patrol! Think we should help americans after a national disaster like Katrina? Join the Red Cross. It is laughable.

    You're funny. Join the Border Patrol if I think we are being invaded by foreign nationals? And given the BP union head has testified that the admin orders them to "catch and release" How would me catching and releasing them help stop the invasion? Poor analogy.

    Let me post yet again what various officials in the hoaxer promoting organizations around the world admit: https://startthinkingright.wordpress.com/2010/12/07/un-global-warmers-admit-climate-change-about-wealth-redistribution-invoke-demonic-goddesses/

    http://libertyunyielding.com/2015/03/03/u-n-climate-chief-admits-goal-of-calls-for-regulation-is-worldwide-redistribution-of-income/

    If it wasn't "global warming", it would be some other calamity. In the 70s it was "global cooling". The meme of "give us all your money and control over your life so we can stop global warming" is shorthand for things they have proposed. Conversion to "green" or "renewable" energy sources has been manifestly, hugely expensive in various places where they have tried it. Obama admitted he wanted to drive coal companies out of business in an interview in 2007 and now he has nearly done it - removing our cheapest source of fuel for electricity until we were saved by the oil and gas businesses.

    Have you started looking for a 300 sf apartment to live in, selling your car and buying a bicycle yet? You know, doing your personal part to save the planet. I will stand by and applaud you for your conviction, although it will be proof you have bought into the hoax.

    A HUGE coral reef that's been in existence for thousands of years died in 10 months because of an abnormally warm El Nino...

    El Nino's are not new...but this one killed something that's been alive for thousands of years.

    Are you really claiming there is no Global Warming?

    Do you understand ho important coral reefs are to the oceans ecosystem? Do you realize that a dead ocean means dead people?

    Deforestation is your starting point, yet emissions control seems to be the major focus NOT deforestation. The way they're going about it is plugging the pin hole in the bottom of the boat while ignoring the fist size hole gushing water. What steps has the IPCC and the UN taken to curtail the deforestation. Common sense dictates we stop the deforestation FIRST then see how financially intrusive they must get to stop any man made warming. They are doing it backwards, that what tells me it's a scam for profit.

    Or they could just be right based upon the science of the greatest scientific minds on the planet. Get your disaster kit ready. Everyone needs to do their part after the next hurricane. Lol

    LOL, the same "scientist" who inform Al Gore about global warming, obviously are informing him on geothermal power. People who take Al Gore seriously are total tools.

    Scientists are unreliable conspirators who are only in it for the money
    They are becoming rich off government grants designed to perpetuate the agw hoax
    The only reliable source of information is a few posters on forums like this

    You should have your scientist call Al Gores scientist to explain to them why all the ice didn't melt by 2013. I thought they all agreed and the science was settled but apparently not.

    The great barrier reef is dying because of agricultural runoff from the mainland, it has nothing to do with climate change. This is the problem, alarmists think every single bad thing is attributed to climate change and it isn't.

    Did you want them to happen? The reason they didn't is because action was taken and they were staved off. This is a common phenomena when people warn of things and disaster is averted, but then shortsighted deniers say there was never a problem in the first place.

    97% of climate scientists believe in global climate change.

    I keep on hearing how 'The scientific community is hoodwinking us for money', and suspect that people think it's much more unified than it actually is. The scientific community is competitive, which means that everyone constantly has motivation to disprove everyone else. If a climate scientist could disprove anthropogenic climate change in a way that stands up to peer review, they would be legendary. Every journal would want to be the first to print it, once they verified it was true, because it would be earth shattering. Sure, many are funded specifically to research it, rather than general climate, and they might have some motive to block others, but they aren't the people in control of journals.

    97% of climate scientists still believe in global climate change, never the less, despite all the motivation to do otherwise. Why?

    Science is the fundamental seeking of the truth, wherever it may go. The process is such that lies are, at least, very heavily disputed. If that many scientists believe something, I very well believe it too. There are far, far more than 100 climate scientists, but at least 97 of those 100 have dedicated their entire life to studying something, and came to a single conclusion. I can't think of a better word than arrogance, to think that people who don't dedicate their lives to the matter can magically come to a differing conclusion and be correct.

    I'm sorry, are you telling me that it's more debated than that? Any sources to that measure?

    Also, did you actually read the rest of it?

    The 97% comes from the cartoonist and AGW advocate John Cook and his pals review of paper abstracts and has serious flaws. It is a populist meme and literally means nothing.

    yeah right, because your first post you said no changes, then you admit there is erosion at the shore line. i am sure you have the science on why rivers dont change the landscape. :)

    Now, add more heat from CO2 human-caused emissions and what do you get?

    [​IMG] Amazing. You actually got something fight for once. I'm proud of you.

    Also, I always thought there was more heat transfer from the core but hadn't checked. My bad.
