I hope they didn’t pay too much for this study because I think any one of us would have been happy to give them our opinion about change being the norm over the centuries for much less money 🙂
Here’s my beef: If Conservatives dare say anything like “We knew that!” or “Climate change is not the biggest fear in our world today!” we’re branded as uncaring and uninformed. NOBODY doesn’t think change happens, that some places are now hotter and others are now colder. And nobody doesn’t care that our children have clean air and water. This is a perfect example of the Alinsky Rules for Radicals, isn’t it?

I read that article earlier today. It still has the climate hoax spin to it. Here we have a real, documented change that is making life better in one part of the world. But the article says, without any real world supporting evidence, ‘don’t get used to it – things are still getting worse even though none of our models has ever been correct.’

Several thousand years ago, the Sahara Desert had an abundance of water and thick foliage. How is what happened there the fault of human activity? At some point, we puny human beings must accept the fact that it isn’t all about us. We are as susceptible to natural occurrences as any other life form on our planet. None of us can control Mother Nature, but we adapt to it or we perish. If we leave it up to the political left, we will all surely die —and more likely the result of a leftist bullet to the back of our heads than to an over-exposure to the sun.

I read recently where greenhouse gases are at the highest recorded levels. Then I read where the ‘globe’ has been cooling the last 16+ years. Applying the simple scientific method that briefly states that when actual results do not align with your forecast then your theory is no good.
I guess it’s too simple for libtards to understand.
Then you have the executive secretary of the UN IPCC admitting that man made climate change is a scam cooked up to destroy Capitalism over the next 150 years.

It’s all a big scam anyway. Organizations are now ‘fixing’ the climate data since it didn’t conform to their orthodoxy.
Before we believe any more pseudo-scientific balderdash, the ‘consensus’ caucus needs to make a hard and fast prediction of say, 5 years from now. Something quantifiable and measurable.
If the prediction bears out, we will listen to them. Until then, they have no credibility, since they were preaching global cooling back in the 70’s.
* btw, I think we are entering a period of global cooling, based upon low solar activity.

If Sahara could become green, that would be indeed amazing. But the leftist bourgeois don’t like it because their area may not be the same as it used to. They’re very conservative in that regard.

Mustang’s comment about consistency in inconsistency reminds me of another adage: “There is nothing so constant as change”. Actually, I have a bit of a problem with saying it is all the normal change of mother earth when we have 6 billion people (and growing) contaminating our air and water to the extent we have. Most of us have seen satellite pics from outer space of the huge styro foam and plastic trash pile in the northern Pacific Ocean that runs for miles and miles, and growing. Both are petrol byproducts and aren’t bio-degradable so will be around probably for centuries. While some of the recommendations being suggested are a bit stupid we can and should be better stewards of our planet, don’t you think?

Mal, fwiw, MIT invented a reactor that eats the waste from conventional reactors. There are also various flavors of Molten Salt Reactors, thorium based for example (of which one was run in the 60’s) that are 100% impossible to have a meltdown. Why aren’t we building these safe and problem solving reactors while we rid ourselves of coal plants? I’m all in favor of getting rid of pollution, for health reasons if nothing else. And yes, we should be better stewards but we don’t have a lot of global control obviously. I feel overpopulation is a problem too. From the 10,000 foot level I guess you could say we are a species that consumes and breeds. Where will the tipping point of no return be?
Really bugs me we aren’t doing something intelligent with energy.

Yeah, Kid, I think that was the one at Oak Ridge. They axed that because it didn’t produce plutonium for weapons. I’ve read that India, which has a lot of thorium (and no uranium) plans to build these reactors. I’m preparing a blog on on thorium reactors and Bill Gates’ project for a client’s blog site. They drift into this climate nonsense and jumped on the bandwagon about last year being the hottest on record, and I hope to broaden perspective. As land temp measurements have shifted into warmer urban environment it’s not surprising this difference isn’t higher! (Both NOAA’s and NASA’s numbers indicate the probability of 2014 being the hottest year is more NO than YES. And satellite temps of the troposphere have been trending down for years. I wish I could post the charts.)
In the classic trivium academic view, we mature from the grammar to logic to rhetoric stage as we move through the first of the 7 liberal arts. If we miss the logic stage (the mechanics of thought and analysis where you learn to recognize specious thinking) we arrive at rhetoric with just our emotions and strong feelings. And you get wholesale believers in this nonsense who don’t know how to think their way out of a paper bag. But they sure know how to beat their breasts about it.
Z, I’ve long thought why don’t those companies offer a copy of a translation in a list of languages (you pick) for $50, say. Otherwise we ALL pay for it and there’s less incentive to learn the language of your country.

The earth has a mechanism for renewal, too. Wind, rain, snow, glacial ice and earthquakes all serve to remodel our planet. The movement of tectonic plates renew and volcanism redistributes new surface —and you know, I think these aspects of earth renewal are all quite fascinating— and by design. I do think it comes from intelligent design.
Remember that the leftists championed plastic because it saved the trees. Now plastic has become a problem, but it is not an insurmountable difficulty. I recently saw a Japanese professor convert plastic refuse back into liquid gasoline. One wonders why we Americans are not doing things like this. Well, maybe we are but just not hearing about it. It was the Japanese tsunami in 2011 that gave us miles and miles of plastic trash … and taken another way, the opportunity to demonstrate American technology. But no, as you say, the trash remains laying along the shore in states controlled by progressives. Yes, it is true that the libtard claims to care about the earth, but it is only blather. Did they clean up after themselves at the end of the Occupy Wall Street fiasco? As Z mentioned above, how many millions of children did Rachel Carson consign to an early demise because of her false claims about DDT?

Mustang; fabulous input there, thanks SO much.

And they IDOLIZE these two! Says a lot, doesn’t it.
Baysider; INCENTIVE TO LEARN ENGLISH? It’s never even been made the official language of America! Now I’m beginning to wonder if that wasn’t planned 🙂
Kid..the “point of no return?” I could name a few liberals, in politics and on the blogs, who tell me we’ve reached it, right? 🙂
Oh, and in high school, even this constant Conservative bought into the “ZERO POPULATION GROWTH” rubbish. Sadly, it’s white, bright, intelligent folks who stopped breeding. Others are gaining all over us for that.
Mal, though I’m not a Green nut, I certainly DO believe we can be good stewards; I just don’t want the total economy ruined needlessly for leftwingers who are getting filthy rich by crying wolf.
As I often say, if Rightwingers say we don’t believe in the climate change drum thumping, the left/media broadcast that REPUBLICANS DON’T CARE ABOUT THE PLANET. As if WE don’t want clean water and air? They SHUT US DOWN with those ridiculous conclusions….that’s why I keep hoping for SOME REpublican candidate who can address the fallacies and articulately respond LOUDLY and it gets COVERED.
I want some Republican candidate to say something outrageous like “Where the heck do Americans GET this CRAP? You REALLY think Republicans don’t want clean air? you REALLY think we don’t want clean water? ARE YOU CONSCIOUS? What are you THINKING?”
And I’d like that candidate to say the same about the economy “We can’t keep giving free phones and other things away! This is the land of opportunity, not a candy store! WAKE UP, work hard, we will help you LEARN, not LIVE…unless you need us badly, then we will help…..until then? GROW UP …WORK HARD…LEARN ENGLISH….BE A MAN!”
