    Some science is settled - sans getting into existential mindlessness - That said -... all of climate science is not part of the "settled" part.

    "Does not" what ? Different organizations have different perspectives. Sure we can state that climate is changing with a good degree of certainty. .. OK .. so what ?

    I would also claim that the vast majority of Scientists would claim that human activity is affecting climate - to some degree ... so what ?

    This talk is all nonsense unless some relative perspective is added.

    Don’t try to explain yourself. It just gets worse.

    The IPCC is a government created and funded body to specifically bolster the CO2 hypothesis.

    “sans getting into existential mindlessness ”
    If you don’t know what woo woo is, this quote exemplifies it perfectly.

    It’s what you don’t say because you don’t get it.

    That comment had nothing to do with climate change. It was addressing a comment stating that settled science does not exist.

    What in my post shows that I do not know what man made climate change is about ?

    I get it ... like how Polling is done.A Poll is taken knowing what they
    want and need to spew or con the public about and then the poll is tweeked.
    Same technique used in writing a Headline at The Washington Post or
    New York Times.The Headline is made and then the needed smear
    or negativity is filled in later.No 2 confirmed sources needed.No Journalist
    reporting or proven facts necessary.

    You continue to blubber unintelligible nonsense.. what is it that I "don't say". Part of my post was that I don't know what you are trying to argue ... and you certainly have not clarified in the post after. Just engaged in pointless name calling and you won't even state what part of my post offended you or what you are offended about.

    If you knew anything about the IPCC you would already know this.

    You totally omit that climate change us about the acceleration in the rate change and effect on the evolution of each species affected by it. If all it was, is just about the climate changing, there would be no cause for alarm. Dah.

    I mean, of course it wasn't. But let's imagine that really was the secret nefarious purpose, and they really are the boogeyman working against the oil industry. They operate on a budget of like $10 million. The koch brothers alone have donated over $100 million.

    Uh, do you know what IPCC stands for? Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. 100 million the Koch brothers donated when to many things and is a drop in the bucket compared to what the US has spent on it. Of course that is the usual tactic of the true believers that nefarious scientists are producing inconvenient science because of some conspiracy.

    Congratulations, you just made my point. You don’t care about facts, you’re only interested in remaining a Republican tool.

    Huh ?

    I asked that some relative statement be given .. as one had not. Since I had no clue what you were trying to get at .. how could I omit something. You accusation makes zero sense.

    You then make some dumb statements "if this was just about climate change - there would be no cause for alarm".. Of course climate change could be cause for alarm. What on earth are you talking about. If we had another ice age hit tomorrow .. would this not be cause for alarm ?

    I agree that climate change appears to be accelerating .. what you omit is any reference to why you think this is the case. It is you who appears not to know what you are talking about.

    I have written numerous posts in threads relating to climate explaining some facets of how climate change is measured and how it is accelerating.
