    Instead of answering the question you quoted you want to play.

    I bet you you would never be able to give the scientific definition of the term climate.

    Never in your life.

    That's why you didn't even attempt to answer the simplest question.

    Did I win the bet?

    It’s amazing how they can’t accurately predict the path of a hurricane or if it might rain in a day, but can guarantee that man is the sole cause of climate shifts on the entire planet. Give us trillions to fix it. Trust us. We know exactly what we’re doing.

    Sure it does...

    Typical man made global warming graph:

    Conveniently ends in 1850

    True historical global temperature graph:

    Why present only half the data to draw the conclusion desired?

    Im not interested in playing the game where you work to try and discredit my perspective by attacking me, rather than the facts being presented.

    Even when the first temperature readings began with instruments, they are trending at worst .5 degrees C higher than other methodologies historically. There are a host of reasons why this could happen, including instrument calibration, incorrect historical data sets, and even human error.

    In any case, I believe in fact that the earth is in a warming period, but I have yet to see conclusive evidence that its a result of human activity.

    If one hurricane season is active out of the last ten that were not it's evidence of global warming though.

    Worthless statements like this don't help your religious cause.

    Face reality. Your side has decades of failed predictions.

    Try being honest about what he said

    Climate is determined by a region’s climate system. A climate system has five major components: the atmosphere, the hydrosphere, the cryosphere, the land surface, and the biosphere…

    Climate features also include windiness, humidity, cloud cover, atmospheric pressure, and fogginess. ”

    https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/climate/

    As one can see in science there is no such thing as global climate or earth climate, it is totally fake term, climate is strictly regional.


    Address what he actually posted not something you made up to get around it.

    Umm.... do you really want an answer to this? Oh well, if you insist. Remember that time when NYC was covered in a mile of ice???? That time?? Do you suppose that it got "cooler" in order for that to happen?

    I couldn't agree more. Those pesky AGW'ers are clearly in the denial...

    They get a cold front at Davos and suddenly the Flat Earth Society is triumphant.
    Willful ignorance is their stock and trade.

    The blood of thousands of Ugandans are on their hands as well.

    Since ya know, carbon credit resellers did murder people, burn down their villages, and planted trees in their place while making a nice profit from companies around the world buying those credits.

    Sickening, absolutely ****ing sickening.

    No, they are the ones who understand those two words. It is the denialists who seem to have difficulty with them.

    You guys just keep making bad predictions and it's fun to point them out. Why just the other day you predicted polar bears would soon go extinct.

    "Polar bear populations are still growing despite global warming, according to new research.

    The new population estimates from the 2016 Scientific Working Group are somewhere between 22,633 to 32,257 bears, which is a net increase from the 2015 number of 22,000 to 31,000. The current population numbers are a sharp increase from 2005’s, which stated only 20,000 to 25,000 bears remained — those numbers were a major increase from estimates that only 8,000 to 10,000 bears remained in the late 1960s.

    Until the new study, bear subpopulations in the Baffin Bay and Kane Basin (KB) were thought to be in decline due to over-hunting and global warming. The new report indicates this is not the case.

    Scientists are increasingly realizing that polar bears are much more resilient to changing levels of sea ice than environmentalists previously thought."

    There was a time when "flat earth" was scientific consensus. The fact remains, man can't do jackshit about the climate. Climate is going to do what's it's going to do, no matter how sweaty your palms get from wringing your hands. In fact, it is the LEFT that has politicized climate change. The LEFT sees an opportunity tax human behavior. Weaponizing a false narrative that "man can fix this" is why this is such a divisive subject. Progressives will not let an opportunity slip through their greasy fingers to employ their fascist tactics to control the population through taxation. End of story.

    IMO the biggest blunder was allowing the father of the modern movement to reveal it's objectives when the first summit on the issue was held in Rio in 1992.

    It's always amusing to see climate change deniers steadfastly refuse to understand what the effects of global warming are.

    "Global warming?? But it's snowing outside!!!"

    Which seems about the same as saying "science is right because it supports your political affiliation". Right?

    Which is ever bit as stupid as saying "we don't know exactly how we effect climate, so we'll just assume that all changes are caused by us". Right?

    If you agree that climate has changed in the past, you have to be able to ascribe the reasons for it, and a mathematical formula for why it happens and at what rate. Then, you can assess additive influences. If you cannot describe the first condition, you cannot assert as factual the second. Your assertion isn't correct. No one has ever said that humans cannot change climate. To say so is simply dishonest. What has been said is that we don't have the ability to segment the influence man may have in the change that we are undergoing today. If you, or anyone, can say with any certainty that "all, most, some, or none" of current climate change is being added to, or adversely effects the current natural trend, be my guest.

    Tell that to all of those folks in CA that blamed the latest spate of fires on climate change even after most were found to have been started by men.

    Conservatives made this a political issue in the first place. They place business as more important than literally anything else on earth, and the prospect of global warming meant businesses might have to pay money to be environmentally responsible. Rather than do that, they thrust thus issue out of the realm ofproven science and into the realm of public debate as if it was ever up for debate.

    Muddy the waters, obfuscate the truth, debate rock solid proven scientific reality as if it wasn't proven and maybe you won't have to spend any money keeping the planet habitable.
