This is why there’s been so much extreme rainfall and flooding in the U.S.

[ding]

I am constantly amazed at the instant internet experts here spouting about concepts they are not qualified to evaluate, but positive they have found the simple answer to highly complex problems that muddle the experts. As always, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

I’ve spent over 20 years studying paleoclimates. You?

You seem so invested in the belief that those questions that you obviously copied from some anti-science site would disprove man made climate change. Like a good little cult member, you didn't bother checking if the questions were even relevant. Here's the next one. Do you think you can figure out the answers to the rest, or must they all be hand fed to you?

What is very amazing is that you who is not a scientist, nor have you produced evidence to support your beliefs, conclude you are actually an expert.
I suggest you check into the talks given by the esteemed climate scientist, Dr. Richard Lindzen. But there are many climate scientists who agree with him.

Climate is so hard to predict that in Kerrville TX they did not predict the floods would be very heavy.

Why are flooding rains abnormal? ... these events have been happening all over the world since the beginning of history ... yes ... there was a flash flood in Flash Flood Alley ... that's normal for Kerr County, Texas ...

Big flashy headline ... no actual data to back it up ... the Gullible want to believe ...

Yeah we are dealing with a two faced idiot who out one mouth side screams education/source fallacies then out of her other side of the gaping mouth screams you are wrong, because you have no science training/degree and she is right about what is valid science while she admits she doesn't have any science education.

She is gobsmacking stoooopid!

I'm Batman. I'm also an astronaut who gives Elton John singing and piano lessons in my spare time. For a short while, I served as a life coach for Gandhi after he got out of prison, He had some anger issues he needed help working through. I'll show you my credentials as soon as you show me yours. Your turn.

Those voices in your head must be talking again, cause I never claimed to be an expert. My entire point in this thread is that neither of us has the training or experience to even evaluate the complex issues in this subject. I'll admit my shortcoming, and need to rely on experts. You're trying to bullshit your way past yours.

But have you bothered to educate yourself? ... it's okay to rely on experts to help you learn ... but to rely on them and them alone speaks to cult-like worship ... Atmospheric Science has some complexities ... but carbon dioxide isn't one of them ... it's pretty much straightforward how it acts as a Greenhouse Gas ... and it's too little mass to have the effects your so-called "experts" say there is ...

I'm guessing your "experts" are in fact journalists misquoting and cherry-picking the actual experts ... we won't know because your own knowledge doesn't seem to be adequate to discuss the matter ...

I took a class in meteorology ... not an expert but I know a few things most folk don't ... like water's latent heat of evaporation is 2,100 joules per gram ... that certainly throws water on your climate change hysteria ...

What a pathetic response you made, it is becoming a trolling on your part pushing the well worn Education Fallacy, because you make clear you are a science illiterate who doesn't realize there are plenty people out there who do and think amazing things without a college degree.

What about Alfred Wegener who as a trained Meteorologist was making Geologists of the day look foolish in their denial of well known science behind the evidence that South America used to be connected with Africa which is a major factor on his proposal of Continental Drift which most Geologists of the day derided.

From Wikipedia:

On 6 January 1912, he presented his first proposal of continental drift in a lecture to the Geologische Vereinigung (Geological Association) at the Senckenberg Museum, Frankfurt am Main. Later, in 1912, he made a case for the theory in a long, three-part article<a href="Alfred Wegener - Wikipedia and a shorter summary.<a href="Alfred Wegener - Wikipedia"

What about J. Harlan Bretz who as a Geologist correctly postulated that massive flows of water created the scablands in Washington state, it took decades for many geologists finally accept the obvious he had known for decades before.

Bretz encountered resistance to his theories from the geology establishment of the day. The geology establishment was resistant to such a sweeping theory for the origin of a broad landscape for a variety of reasons, including lack of familiarity with the remote areas of the interior Pacific Northwest where the research was based, and the lack of status and reputation of Bretz in the eyes of the largely Ivy League-based geology elites. Furthermore, his theory implied the potential possibilities of a Biblical flood, which the scientific community strongly rejected.<a href="J Harlen Bretz - Wikipedia" The Geological Society of Washington invited the young Bretz to present his previously published research at a meeting on 12 January 1927, where several other geologists presented competing theories. Bretz saw this as an ambush, and referred to the group as six "challenging elders". Their intention was to defeat him in a public debate, and thereby end the challenge his theories posed to their conservative interpretation of uniformitarianism.

Another geologist at the meeting, Joseph Pardee, had worked with Bretz and had evidence of an ancient glacial lake that lent credence to Bretz's theories. Pardee, however, lacked the academic freedom of Bretz, as he worked for the United States Geological Survey, so did not enter the fray.

Bretz defended his theories, kicking off an acrimonious 40-year debate over the origin of the Scablands. As he wrote in 1928, "Ideas without precedent are generally looked upon with disfavour and men are shocked if their conceptions of an orderly world are challenged"."J Harlen Bretz - Wikipedia"

Both Pardee and Bretz continued their research over the next 30 years, collecting and analysing evidence that eventually identified Lake Missoula as the source of the Spokane Floods and creator of the Channelled Scablands. Research on open channel hydraulics and NASA satellite images in the 1970s further vindicated Bretz's and Pardee's theories."J Harlen Bretz - Wikipedia"

What about Milton Humason who didn't have a degree at all when he made his discoveries after he started as a janitor at Mt. Wilson who was hired to help pack up the many telescope parts up the mountain to build the Hooker Telescope that was at the time the largest in the world.

From Wikipedia:

Milton Humason was born in Dodge Center, Minnesota.

Humason dropped out of school and had no formal education past the age of 14. Because he loved the mountains, and Mount Wilson in particular, he became a "mule skinner" taking materials and equipment up the mountain while Mount Wilson Observatory was being built. In 1917, after a short stint on a ranch in La Verne, he became a janitor at the observatory. Out of sheer interest, he volunteered to be a night assistant at the observatory. His technical skill and quiet manner made him a favorite on the mountain. Recognizing his talent, in 1919, George Ellery Hale made him a Mt. Wilson staff member. This was unprecedented, as Humason did not have a Ph.D., or even a high school diploma. He soon proved Hale's judgment correct, as he made several key observational discoveries. He became known as a meticulous observer, obtaining photographs and difficult spectrograms of faint galaxies. His observations played a major role in the development of physical cosmology, including assisting Edwin Hubble in formulating Hubble's law. In 1950 he earned a D.Sc. from Lund University. "Milton L. Humason - Wikipedia" He retired in 1957.

You might be shocked to learn there is a wide range of subjects I don't particularly care about being an expert on. I'm old, retired, and just don't have the years or interest in dedicating the effort to becoming an expert in climate science, juggling, or tap dancing. Sorry if that disappoints you.
