Want to know the REAL future of climate? Ask an astronomer

No wonder you are so confused, your lousy reading comprhension has led you astray right out of the box. I never made any such claim, no matter how much you think otherwise... |

: Someone wrote... "It doesn't matter if Chicken Little *is* right if nobody listens. And nobody listens to environmental alarmists any more precisely because they have been predicting the end of the world for over half a century. And not "someday," but "any day now." Over and over and over. It's like - *just* like - the religious cults that say that the Second Coming is next Tuesday. Every Wednesday. For years. Excatly like that." WOW! That's quite a statement. And it's true. If you don't already know that, you're an idiot. The envirowhackos have been making the same claims in the say way for decades, and gotten the same results: ignored, because they sound like hysterical children, and their predictions of apocalypse never come true. If you keep doing the same thing, you'll keep getting the same results. The only rational conclusion anyone can read is that either you are droolingly stupid, or you know exactly what results you'll get, and that's your goal. The leadership of the AGW crowd act very, very much like a cult. They set impossible goals, and deliberately alienate the general public to isolate their followers. And get rich doing it. You're nothing but a mark, but you get the attention you crave, so you're OK with it. -- Terry Austin Vacation photos from Iceland: https://plus.google.com/u/0/collection/QaXQkB "Terry Austin: like the polio vaccine, only with more asshole." -- David Bilek Jesus forgives sinners, not criminals. |

nobody listens to environmental alarmists any more precisely because they have been predicting the end of the world for over half a century. And not "someday," but "any day now." Over and over and over. It's like - *just* like - the religious cults that say that the Second Coming is next Tuesday. Every Wednesday. For years. Excatly like that." WOW! That's quite a statement. No wonder you are so whipped up my intentionally silly comment. You think, apparently, that all climate scientists are alarmists, which is quite far from the truth. The people who claim, over and over again, that the end of the world is going to occur any day now due to climate change are just as whacky as the people who completely deny there is any climate change to begin with. Both groups are not worth listening to, ever. Both groups don't understand science in general and climate science in particular, and for some reason are actually proud of their ignorance. Throughout the history of the Earth there has been constant climate change in one direction or another, but the big issue today is that the current RATE of climate change is dramatic when compared to any other period of history that you care to choose. This fact is impossible to refute, at least when compared to the periods for which we have evidence. Sure, there are various different interpretations about this accelerated rate of change, but with time and constant research the facts are becoming clearer every year. No matter which camp you are in, no matter what you choose to believe, you cannot fool Mother Nature, and she will reward you or punish you tomorrow for you actions today, and there not a darn thing you can do about it. You cannot ever hurt the Earth, she will always adjust and survive, but the current thinking is that her adjustment will certainly affect mankind overall for the worst, especially if we don't stop dumping almost 40 trillion tons of CO2 into the atmosphere every year and expect nothing bad to happen. It just won't happen tommorow... |

I have presented what I believe to be a fairly accurate picture of "the way things really are", but you can't make any kind of reasonable argument in rebuttal. Your kind just can't be dealt with in a civilized manner, and so will be routinely discarded. It's pretty clear just who the idiot is here, and I'm done with him. No need to respond anymore, you will just be talking to yourself. |

I don't take environmental alarmists seriously either.
However, their past behavior in no way has affected how seriously I take the consensus of the scientific community, the credibility of which had not been subject to any similar erosion. It is quite true that, for a number of reasons, many in the general public are not making this distinction. Paid apologists for the oil industry have had something to do with this. Oh, and being right may not matter to the public response, but it will still make a difference when the end of the world, or somewhat lesser adverse effects, happen right on schedule. |

One of the most dangerous things the human race has ever faced, and one which has the potential to destroy our current civilization. Perhaps you haven't noticed but the US has reduced coal energy by 40% over the past decade, solar is projected to increase by 30% over the next TWO years and China is building two wind turbines per hour (half of the world's production). At 4 per hour worldwide, that's 8000 per year assuming a 2000 hour work year. At 1.5 MW/turbine and 6 hours/day, that adds 3 GWHrs to energy production every year. Things aren't so bad. Renewable is small but it's growing rapidly. Gary, Do you think that the increase in solar and wind is a good thing? Why do you think that if you deny the effects of rising CO2. |

OK, it is clear that you are completely irrational and cannot be dealt with in any reasonable way. It is clear you are a deluded cult member, and like it that way. I have presented what I believe to be a fairly accurate picture of "the way things really are", And convinced me you're a moonbat with the IQ of a turnip, yes. but you can't make any kind of reasonable argument in rebuttal. You've offered nothing to rebut. Only your religious beliefs, based on the theology of your cult. Your kind just can't be dealt with in a civilized manner, and so will be routinely discarded. Your kind can't deal with . . . much of anything. That's why you turn your life over to the cult. It's pretty clear just who the idiot is here, Indeed, it is. and I'm done with him. You're going to, what, kill yourself? No need to respond anymore, you will just be talking to yourself. Did you *really* believe you'd get the last word? Are you *that* stupid?

After all, global warming is denial of real science. Global warming is real, and is very scary. Not too scary to serve as inspiration for movies about imaginary catastrophes, such as "The day after tomorrow". One of the most dangerous things the human race has ever faced, and one which has the potential to destroy our current civilization. However, that wouldn't be the first time a human civilization has been destroyed. It has happened several times before, and mankind survived that. This time we're too many, we consume too much resources, and we're too focused on eternal growth, which of course is impossible within a finite world. That's the lesson we must learn this time. If we don't learn it voluntarily, the Earth will teach us, in a quite harsh way. I don't anticipate global warming has the potential to eliminate humans, or even close to it. But civilization is fragile. It wouldn't take much to take down our current cultures and replace them with something more typical- despotic theocracy, for instance. Not something I want to see. In a way we already live in such a society. Our current "religion" is our belief in eternal growth, and those who question that belief are considered to be backwards a little mad, or even dangerous to society. As expressed in their living style, people prefer global warming over having to change their living style. |

One would have to be slightly mad to drive in a city where walking or cycling are clearly much quicker. Or would be, if cyclists and pedestrians were not subject to countless red lights just to allow vehicles to proceed at intervals in a road system which cannot possibly cope with the space available. |
