Question for liberals about climate change research...

[basquebromance]

I thought you Leftists told us that the "science is settled"

Then why the hell do you need money for "Climate Change Research?"

 

[Boss]

Whenever someone says "the science is settled" rest assured they are ignorant of what science is or how the scientific method works. There is no such thing as "settled science" ...that's actually the antithesis of science.

With climate change, they use this to shut down debate. This way, they can promote their faith-based beliefs as truth and fact. The reason they need more funding is so they can continue proselytizing their religion.

No, dumb fucks, the science is settled that GHGs warm the atmosphere. Has been since 1859. And the science is settled that we are the reason that the CO2 has increased from 280 pm to 400+ ppm, and CH4 has increased from about 750 ppb to over 1800+ ppb. These are experiments and observations that anyone can do. The GHGs are measured by multiple nations, and they all show the same thing.

And every government has measured the increase in temperature. Those with glaciers and bordering the Arctic are measuring the rapid decline of the cryosphere. Direct observational evidence.

Of course they do! If that didn't happen there wouldn't be life here and water would remain frozen.

And the science is settled that we are the reason that the CO2 has increased from 280 pm to 400+ ppm

Nope. This is where you're wrong. CO2 has been much higher long before man roamed the planet. It has also been much lower. Plant life functions optimally at ~600 ppm. Mother Nature knows best.

And in between ice ages, ice SHOULD naturally melt. If it didn't, we would be locked in an ice world perpetually. So the fact some ice is melting doesn't mean anything more than we're not going into an ice age.
