    Europe is WAY ahead of us in renewables.
    China and India recognize the problem and are changing - at least they aren't in denial as nearly half of America is.
    The argument "well others do it, too" is never valid.

    If everything is done it is estimated that it would reduce the increase in temperature by 0.2c by 2100. Hardly worth the cost and that money won't be available to adapt. China and India continued to build coal powered plants but China had too many plants planed so cut back on some. Countries may have signed onto a political movement but that isn't driven by hard science.

    As it is, no scientist can tell you what the temperature will be in 2100. It is all based on models with such a wide output that you can claim anything you want since it cannot be falsified.

    Derp.

    The number polled is a statistically accurate sampling of the sum total in the world.

    Would you like to tell US how many climatologists that there are in the world, and - comparing it to the statistical sample of voters - how that number isn't a sufficient amount to determine what's bullshit (your position) and what isn't (mine)?

    Dude that's not what you said. Read your own post. And that survey was not of climatologists. Dude this is just sad

    And Monckton always tells the truth - what am I saying???? Truth has nothing to do with political beliefs Trump has proven that!!!\

    Trump has proven that the right in America would rather listen to what suits you than look beyond to see what is really happening

    What denialists think we mean by reducing the use of fossil fuels

    Assumes extremist alt right factoids NOT in evidence!

    If you persist in violating PF rules you will be reported. Consider this your only warning.

    When did sea levels start rising again?

    Please show us a chart that shows causation between global temperatures over time and CO2 in the atmosphere please.

    And your second statement is even more out of touch than your first. The physics behind CO2 and global temperature rise have been known since the late 1800's

    But then the right in America have yet to catch up with the 19th century it seems........

    Thanks.

    People must have been some carbon producing fools 15,000 years ago eh?

    I mean they must have been for us to have so many ancient cities now under water.

    Please point to the causation of CO2 to global temps in this chart for us:

    [​IMG]

    The problem with you "global warming caused by Ford trucks" types is that you hilariously try to measure things that occur in geological time over tiny periods of time.
