    Extinction is another way of saying "the end of the world".

    You're welcome.

    And also since the last 2 year period in the last 20 years. Which was the warmest 2 year period since the previous 2 year period. Which was the warmest since the 2 year period previous to that... And on and on. I believe there is only one exception to this in the last 20 years, if I remember correctly.

    So even an increase of one degree per year for 20 years totals up to something so absurd a child would laugh at. Do leftists seriously believe we are THAT dumb we would not notice?

    A system could go up a microdegree or two in the span of time. Talking 3 degrees in a hundred years.

    Of course it is! And why bother with peer-review when you have Glen Beck's endorsement?

    Authors who have nothing to contribute to the world but want to make a buck can ALWAYS resort to pseudo-science.

    Oh.... looks like you finally learned how to use a Dictionary. And you couldn't wait to show off your new-found skill, could you?

    Good job!

    They can always get a peer review and a peer review has little to do with accuracy.

    Yeah. Shellenberger has been a progressive activist and award-winning environmentalist for 30 years, but Glenn Beck's interview this morning put his new book on the best-sellers' list.

    Sometimes noble causes, like environmentalism, get taken over by very bad people with ill intentions.

    Multiply 1 by 20 and tell us what you get. Take your time. Check your math carefully before turning in your homework. Use of a calculator is allowed.

    As for your question about whether or not we think you're "THAT dumb", forum rules do not allow me to answer. Sorry....

    So he found out that an interview with Glen Beck is more profitable than facts.

    Cool story brah..... now would you care to tell us what the crop yields were?

    upload_2020-7-1_18-19-42.png

    Weird how the yields go up as the climate warms isn't it? I wonder if the two things are related.

    No, it is not

    She has said that there are only 12 years left until many of the ongoing processes she is concerned about will be very much more difficult to reverse than they are now. She hasn't said the world will end, and your twisting and turning doesn't change that either.

    Yes. That's why the hardcover edition of his book sold out at Amazon a day and a half before he was even on Beck's show this morning! The timing is really amazing!

    Her direct quote said the world would end in twelve years.

    Whatever comes on Beck is very extensively previewed.
    Can you provide that quote? Thanks

    Yes, she said, "The world is going to end in 12 years." She later said that people don't understand "humor".

    Now that you mention it, I too was glad I made it home. During much of my sea duty, the nearest land was straight down and carriers do not have nearly enough life-preservers.

    Crystal clear. I never saw a shot fired, during 18 total months within that combat zone. I am not a hero. I served a country I loved and still love and in all spent six years seeing wondrous places like two years in Japan, my base only four short train stops from Kamakura and the seated Daibutsu most folks wrongly call the Great Buddha.

    It could have been some grotty little tin can behind that city-sized ship. I got lucky, I admit it. But I actually did learn the meaning of comparing cultures. In 1970 I was an occupier. They taught me far more than I did them.

    Military services offer top-grade professional training which major companies willingly hire someone for having. The service pays the student. No loans or crushing interest are involved. It allows a way to build a nest egg and extends military health care after active duty under prescribed conditions and little fee increase.

    Thank me? I thank the U.S. Navy. Literally several times a week. It changed my life and my worldview and I can not recommend military service in any branch strongly enough, for any young man or woman who wants to see the meaning of true adventure.
