    I gladly will compare my carbon footprint to yours. I have no doubt you put out much more CO2 than I do.

    You were put in charge of climate. What have you done in the past 30 days to cool things down?

    It's from your own post. Plus anyone who has a working knowledge of climate science knows that the narrative is that Arctic ice is decreasing but Antarctic ice is increasing.

    Can’t copy and post ? Thought so.

    I can..
    “Even though Antarctic sea ice reached a new record maximum this past September, global sea ice is still decreasing,” said Claire Parkinson, author of the study and climate scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. “That’s because the decreases in Arctic sea ice far exceed the increases in Antarctic sea ice.”

    Do you need help with the words....some are pretty long.

    Btw, do you know the difference between snow and ice ?

    The comedy keeps getting better. Antarctica is a continent. It is a continent covered in ice up to 3 miles thick. This ice has nothing to do with sea ice.

    You don't know the difference between the total ice pack and sea ice. Too funny.

    Do you know what this means ?
    “That’s because the decreases in Arctic sea ice far exceed the increases in Antarctic sea ice.”

    We’ve established you don’t use the dictionary nor read much....so it’s a stretch expecting you to read the entire artical. But, like Trump! You like pictures.

    Btw, the melting of sea ice increases the water content of the ocean which becomes more vulnerable to thermal expansion.
    Is this too much for you to understand ?

    Too funny, you just proved yourself inert and uninformed.

    What is really funny is, deniers who know little about science don’t know that water expands when cooled at one temp temperature and expands when heated at another.
    Saying something is funny by a denier is like saying..dah, I didn’t know that. The expansion above 40f is what contributes to sea level rise.

    And the truth to you is founded in you’re agenda, not in facts.
    If it doesn’t contribute to keeping gop supporters ignorant of facts, it’s unbelevable to you.

    Brown put a lot of his time in on the railroad train. Gavin Newsom put the brakes on that train system.

    Back around 1988, CA was in a drought and I was then on the board of directors of one of this nations largest real estate boards. I spent time at BOD meetings seeking help from my fellow Directors to try to lobby CA to try to get more reservoirs. Many of the directors shrugged it off. So even on that storied board, it was hard to sell the idea CA needed a lot more water. CA still needs a lot more water. New reservoirs would supply it. Oh that same board of Directors voted to fund the campaign of none other than a local Democrat, by the name of Congresswoman Barbara Lee. I voted not to fund her campaign. https://lee.house.gov/

    And there is no accountability for any of this malfeasance.

    That's a classic "declare victory and retreat" speech.

    Your claim of "no correlation" was possibly the dumbest thing anyone has posted on this board.

    Because it was so stupid, it got laughed at hard and shredded to pieces.

    You couldn't respond, so you're crying and running, weeping out "Waaa! You have to READ MY BOOK!" as you vanish into the distance.

    People who can debate, they debate. People who can't, they weep about how meeeeeaaaaaaan the other side is.

    And that Antarctic continental ice is decreasing. Any honest and informed person knows that.

    Cult fanatics will deliberately ignore almost all of the science, and instead talk about the one single study -- Zwally -- that says the opposite. Such a person will also dishonestly pretend that one Zwally paper represents the scientific consensus.

    You were planning to engage in such dishonest cherrypicking. After all, we've seen it before, and you just repeat the same nonsense over and over, no matter how often it's debunked. Do you wish to engage in such dishonest cherrypicking again?

    You just excused one more time genuine bad behavior by almost only Democrats who show up not to debate, but to bash the teeth out of others in the same debate.

    When I post science material, the source is bashed as were it from politicians. But my material is not from politicians yet the opponents often is.

    A good science source.

    Democrats have no clue what a liberating feeling one gets by quitting the Democratic party.

    I agree, it takes the pressure off trying to be factual. Conservatives get to throw BS. That’s their style.
