More accurate than predictions from Conservatives saying there is no climate change

The ideological dogma that decrees one is free to poop into the heavens with impunity appears to be tenacious.

Housebreaking the obstinate is a challenge.

Spewing greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere impacts the atmosphere.

C02 is not a pollutant, moron. Plants need it to live.

Statement: "C02 is not a pollutant, moron. Plants need it to live."

Response: Retention of CO2 is deadly in Human Beings.

That's a claim with no visible means of support.

Or is this also fake news and lying scientists, in your opinion?

Yes. 0.04 % is not dangerous in any way, moron. Much higher levels are beneficial to plants. That's why they add CO2 in greenhouses.

LOL, you really are a kook. If you had read the link you would understand that smoking creates COPD. But you never read anything which might upset your beliefs.

Your link says that CO2 levels would have to be 100 times higher than normal in order to be life threatening.

That's like saying water is deadly, as if you consume 100 times the normal amount, you will most certainly die.

Sure only 1 degree in 40 years does not seem like much, but consider the mass of the earth, oceans, and atmosphere.
That is huge, so that is a massive amount of retained energy, and it is not only already having deadly effects, such as desertification, floods, storms, heat waves, etc., but is a rapidly accelerating curve that is an indicator of far more harmful problems in the future. For example, they estimate that an increase of 9 degrees more would end all life on the planet

Wrong.
While volcanoes do spew CO2, they also spew even more of aerosols, and particulates, that result in more cooling than warming.
Volcanoes always cool a planet.
After Krakatoa eruption, there was no summer that year, and it stayed winter for several years straight.

{...
The explosion of Krakatoa (Krakatau) may have contributed to volcanic winter-like conditions. The four years following the explosion were unusually cold, and the winter of 1887–1888 included powerful blizzards. Record snowfalls were recorded worldwide.

Why do they keep adjusting the "measured" temperatures?

Because "they", the consensus of climatologists and international climatological authorities, out of pure cussedness, in conspiring to pretend that spewing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere has a predictable impact on the atmosphere, keep refining their data.

Of course, Trump has told us that it is all a Chinese hoax.

That's all bullshit. Deserts are not expanding. They are contracting. Storms are decreasing. The same for floods, storms, heat waves, etc.

"I don’t know about you guys, but I think climate change is...​

'BULLSHIT!’ ​

...‘By the way, it is!"​

[Sen. Ron Johnson mouths to Republican luncheon that climate change is ‘bullsh—’]

​

Knowledge respects reality. Ignorance must have reality forced upon it. When ignorance is sustained by ideological dogma, it's a bitch to overcome, particularly in especially resistant cases.

The predictions are being validated. The theoretical is becoming blatant. The forecasts are being realized. Denial is becoming an increasingly costly ideological self-indulgence - agricultural failures, wildfires, flooding, soaring energy costs, droughts, mass starvation, relentless human migrations, etc., etc., etc.

By midcentury, if greenhouse gas emissions are not significantly curtailed, the coldest and warmest daily temperatures are expected to increase by at least 5 degrees F in most areas by mid-century rising to 10 degrees F by late century. The National Climate Assessment estimates 20-30 more days over 90 degrees F in most areas by mid-century. A recent study projects that the annual number of days with a heat index above 100 degrees F will double, and days with a heat index above 105 degrees F will triple, nationwide, when compared to the end of the 20th century.​

​

Extreme heat can increase the risk of other types of disasters. Heat can exacerbate drought, and hot dry conditions can in turn create wildfire conditions. In cities, buildings roads and infrastructure can be heated to 50 to 90 degrees hotter than the air while natural surfaces remain closer to air temperatures. The heat island effect is most intense during the day, but the slow release of heat from the infrastructure overnight (or an atmospheric heat island) can keep cities much hotter than surrounding areas. Rising temperatures across the country poses a threat to people, ecosystems and the economy...​

[Heat Waves and Climate Change | Center for Climate and Energy Solutions]​

​

An early summer heatwave across the western United States broke all-time records in multiple states, with temperatures above 100 degrees Fahrenheit for days on end in some places. This event marked yet another climate extreme for residents of a region already suffering through a devastating drought and with memories of last year’s horrific wildfire season likely still fresh on people’s minds.​

You mean your predictions that are 100% wrong every time? There is climate change it got into the 70's last night and will get in the mid eighties today.

There is no doubt that climate change is having an impact. Liberal predictions may not be happening as soon as predicted but they are still happening.

How are Conservative claims that THERE IS NO CLIMATE CHANGE working out?

what predictions? There havent been any predictions coming true especially when you watch the snow come down at their global warming summits

So what's the evidence?

Your ideological dogma appears to be impervious to science, but if you are really trying to grasp reality, I'll provide it with little hope that you are capable of accepting it.

The research falls into nine independently studied, but physically related, lines of evidence:

1. Simple chemistry – When we burn carbon-based materials, carbon dioxide (CO2) is emitted (research beginning in the 1900s).
2. Basic accounting of what we burn, and therefore how much CO2 we emit (data collection beginning in the 1970s).
3. Measuring CO2 and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and trapped in ice to find they are increasing, with levels higher than anything we've seen in nearly a million years (measurements beginning in the 1950s).
4. Chemical analysis of the atmospheric CO2 that reveals the increase is coming from burning fossil fuels (research beginning in the 1950s).
5. Basic physics that shows us that CO2 absorbs heat (research beginning in the 1820s).
6. Monitoring climate conditions to find that the air, sea and land is warming, as we would expect with rising greenhouse gas emissions; as a response, ice is melting and sea level is rising (research beginning in the 1930s).
7. Ruling out natural factors that can influence climate like the sun and ocean cycles (research beginning in the 1830s).
8. Employing computer models to run experiments of natural versus human-influenced simulations of Earth (research beginning in the 1960s).
9. Consensus among scientists who consider all previous lines of evidence and make their own conclusions (polling beginning in the 1990s).

  Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
  “Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, and since the 1950s, many of the observed changes are unprecedented over decades to millennia. The atmosphere and ocean have warmed, the amounts of snow and ice have diminished, and sea level has risen.”13
  
  “Human influence on the climate system is clear, and recent anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases are the highest in history. Recent climate changes have had widespread impacts on human and natural systems.”14

Scientific Consensus - NASA Science

It’s important to remember that scientists always focus on the evidence, not on opinions. Scientific evidence continues to show that human activities (primarily the human burning of fossil fuels) have warmed Earth’s surface and its ocean basins, which in turn have continued to impact Earth’s...

That's just one great big appeal to authority, a logical fallacy.

[Scientific Consensus: Earth's Climate is Warming]

The residue of anti-scientific ideologues cite Trump's rectal thermometer.​

Oh My GAIA, it's gone up a degree in only 140 years...


Fucking anti-science Nazi loon....

Sure only 1 degree in 40 years does not seem like much, but consider the mass of the earth, oceans, and atmosphere.
That is huge, so that is a massive amount of retained energy, and it is not only already having deadly effects, such as desertification, floods, storms, heat waves, etc., but is a rapidly accelerating curve that is an indicator of far more harmful problems in the future. For example, they estimate that an increase of 9 degrees more would end all life on the planet

>Sure only 1 degree in 40 years does not seem like much

It's not much.

Most folks, hardcore ideologues excepted, seem to get it.

Exclusive poll: America catches up with climate science​

​

By the numbers: ​

The poll found that 84% of Democrats and 77% of independents were aware that climate scientists overwhelmingly agree that climate change is caused by human activities, and that the world is off track to meet the Paris targets.​

​

Republicans had the lowest share of correct answers, but a slight majority — 52% — were aware of both the scientific consensus and the reality that the world hasn't made enough progress toward the Paris targets.​

The poll also found significant differences by education, with 80% of people with college degrees or higher answering the question correctly, compared to 73% of people with some college and 65% of those with a high school degree or less.​

Polls aren't science either, dullard.

But since you brought them up, guess which issue lands dead last, or very near it, in the list of things and issues that most people believe that gubmint should be tending to?...That's right, Goebbels warming.
