Less than three weeks to nationwide riots....

Taxation. Carbon credits. You can use as much as you want, as long as you pay a tax to a government that will piss it away on complete and utter bullshit that does absolutely nothing to fix any problem related to the issue.

No, you pay that tax to Al Gore and his friends and family.

Lol, never thought that word would get under anyone's skin. Perhaps you can suggest something less offensive.

I did take a little liberty with that though where a better term might be anthropogenic. It was in geological context. In a discussion of geomorphology it would mean lasting impacts from human activity...something like a strip mine. To expand context, the Anthropocene is a proposed epoch that would begin where human influence left lasting impressions on the planet. These features are what I meant by anthropomorphic (where I really should have said anthropogenic).

Look on the bright side - you learned a new word or 2.

Haha! I'm telling you, YOU and Sam Spade would get along brilliantly!!! Check him out on diyma, and you will see what I mean...

Just some simple questions for you. What caused the end of the last ice age? What caused the end of the ice age before that? Why is there geological evidence that it has been warmer in the past? Why is there geological evidence that sea levels were higher in the past?
Humans DON'T control Earth's climate.

Are you saying that ALL of the climate change in Earth's past happened slower than it's changing now? Seems unlikely, given that some of the major changes in the past were caused/helped by massive volcanic eruptions and cataclysmic meteor impacts.

People like Rob are so obsessive in their ideology they try to come up with lame excuses ignoring the facts and science that we know to be true. Kinda like when my sister says the US isn't the greatest country in the world. "we're only 12 in overall education and 10 in infant deaths" or whatever bullshit she says that day.

Again there are natural cycles that occur. The planet cools, the planet warms. Read up on Milankovich cycles.

And no, we don't control it. But the majority of evidence suggests that we are having an impact.

In the absence of certain large events (like as you say volcanic eruptions or bolide strikes), yeah.

Ah, so you weren't talking about this Sam Spade

Again you fail even basic comprehension. I'm the only one here defending the science.

Do you realize you say the same shit over and over again?

Here's how your version of "science" works:

In a criminal case, two sets of forensic scientists testify after examining the same pieces of evidence, one testifies for the prosecution and the other testifies for the defense. They are both experts in the same field, but they don't agree at all. One expert's conclusion supports one side and the other expert's conclusion supports the other side.

Exactly this scenario is what is going on with climate change, Covid and a bunch of other issues.

If you don't see and understand this, then, I'm sorry, but your are totally blind and clueless.

Exactly right. They are totally blind and clueless to the facts that they don't support.

You are picking and choosing your science and not the overall scientific facts. There is lots of science to refute what you say. And lots of scientist also. Honestly, I'm so over climate change like I am covid. It's not even worth debating anymore.
