What I Don't Understand About "Climate Change"

[Independentthinker]

1. the Earth has had many periods of warming and cooling and the left can't prove that the current warming isn't just a natural cycle that would have happened anyway, despite industrialization. The two happening at the same time could just be a coincidence and the left can't prove that they aren't just a coincidence.

2. Assuming we did everything the left wanted to do (like bankrupt the entire planet and having us all wearing animal skins, eating berries, and traveling on foot), even most of them admit that global temperatures would still rise. While they always imply that temps would go back down, their own facts show that temps would continue to rise, admitting that the best we can do is cut down on the rate of the increasing temperatures. Somehow they never bring up that little factoid.

3. Now this is the biggie. I really don't understand how in the hell the left thinks that the US and the US alone can decrease global temps (see point 2 that even the left admit that all we can do is limit the growth rate of global temps, not actually decrease global temps). The left are always implying that If the US (all by itself) did all of these things they want the US to do, there would be fewer catastrophic fires, floods, hurricanes, etc.. India and China are by far the biggest polluters on the planet and several other countries are out in front of the US, and yet now that environment fighting Joe is now president, several other world leaders wouldn't even attend Biden's recent forum on the climate. So, what good would it actually do if the rest of the planet, particularly the really bad countries, didn't do their part?

Here is your fatal flaw.

You assume the left "thinks".

I am not being jovial, facetious or joking in any way or manner. Ordinary bed wetters have no functioning frontal lobes. Some were born without them entirely because generations of them never used their brains, this is evidenced by the fact that dystopian marxist governments have been created, murdered 120 million people, increased poverty, and failed to deliver any semblance of equity beyond feudal societies where a ruling class dominates the proles. You're either equally poor, or "more" equally rich and powerful.

The entire premise of the MMGW hoax is to undermine if not totally destroy anything and everything in America that creates prosperity. It has just as much to do with "protecting the environment" as Gun Control has to do with "public safety". If the bed wetters gave a fruit fly's fuck about "the environment" they would put their efforts behind endeavors that would make a difference,like getting the plastic cleaned up out of the oceans. If "public safety" was a concern, they would at least tacitly support police but also mandate gun safety education, and shooting courses for every sane adult. They should be the biggest advocates of the NRA, but they're the biggest enemy, and they're the enemies of humanity, the COTUS and the USA in general.

You can't prove that it's NOT just a coincidence that CO2 emissions happen to be high at the very same time a heating event naturally happened. It's nothing more than saying that at the very same time more people are mowing grass than ever before at the very same time cancer cases are increasing. You can't prove a causal effect that more cancer cases are related to more grass mowing, just as you can't prove that at the same time CO2 levels are high that it is just a coincidence that it is happening at the same time as a naturally occurring heating event.

Do you care to address points 2 & 3, because if everything you say about point 1 is 100% correct, then we still have the other two points.

They never take into account the amounts of Water Vapor in the air either. Progs havent figured out how to tax water vapor, but they are using a rain tax now for that problem.. Never enough taxes, because prog elites hate anyone, not them. That is why you see them flaunting themselves while those around them must mask up and be slaves.....


Now shut up prog slaves and put on your masks, as your prog masters demand that you comply or else.

Social media rages at Met Gala A-listers and AOC for NOT wearing masks

While the A-listers were all vaccinated and wore masks indoors, many were quick to slam the hypocrisy of the attendees supporting masking mandates while being maskless in a crowd.

1. the Earth has had many periods of warming and cooling and the left can't prove that the current warming isn't just a natural cycle that would have happened anyway, despite industrialization. The two happening at the same time could just be a coincidence and the left can't prove that they aren't just a coincidence.

There are no "proofs" in the natural sciences. There is evidence consisting of causal relationships, satisfied predictions and an absence of falsification. There is a GREAT deal more evidence that human GHG emissions are causing warming than that they are occurring concurrently. Your assumption here and in your other points that concern about global warming is solely held by "the left" is patently false. A far better argument may be made that such concerns are held by the educated but if that's a parallel you want to make, feel free.

2. Assuming we did everything the left wanted to do (like bankrupt the entire planet and having us all wearing animal skins, eating berries, and traveling on foot), even most of them admit that global temperatures would still rise. While they always imply that temps would go back down, their own facts show that temps would continue to rise, admitting that the best we can do is cut down on the rate of the increasing temperatures. Somehow they never bring up that little factoid.

Those concerned about global warming would like to see serious reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and deforestation. That requires moving even more rapidly to alternative energy sources. That does NOT involve bankrupting the planet, wearing animal skins or eating berries. Oddly, you clearly admit here that human action is responsible for global warming and that a human response will eventually overcome it. As for the "factoid" you claim is being hidden; you certainly didn't learn that from the fossil fuel industry or their representatives. That stopping AGW will take committed effort and time is not a reason to skip it. It's reason to start is as quickly and as intensely as possible. You reason here like a grade schooler.

3. Now this is the biggie. I really don't understand how in the hell the left thinks that the US and the US alone can decrease global temps (see point 2 that even the left admit that all we can do is limit the growth rate of global temps, not actually decrease global temps). The left are always implying that If the US (all by itself) did all of these things they want the US to do, there would be fewer catastrophic fires, floods, hurricanes, etc.. India and China are by far the biggest polluters on the planet and several other countries are out in front of the US, and yet now that environment fighting Joe is now president, several other world leaders wouldn't even attend Biden's recent forum on the climate. So, what good would it actually do if the rest of the planet, particularly the really bad countries, didn't do their part?

No one has argued that the US can end global warming on its own, thus your "biggie" is more of a nothing burger. Given our per capita consumption of fossil fuels, however, the rest of the world would have a great deal of difficulty succeeding without us. It is absurd - and I do mean absurd - to claim that demanding the US take action equates to a belief that no other country need do anything. The truth, of course, is that we must ALL act. And since we are citizens of this democracy, it is with our nation we can have the greatest impact. Agreements like the Kyoto Protocol, the Montreal Protocol, the Bonn Agreement, the Bali Action Plan, the Paris Climate Accord and others allow us to negotiate and apply pressure on other nations to take the action we all know is required. Again, you reason this issue like a grade schooler.

You can't prove that it's NOT just a coincidence that CO2 emissions happen to be high at the very same time a heating event naturally happened.

Do you care to address points 2 & 3, because if everything you say about point 1 is 100% correct, then we still have the other two points.

On the contrary, the geological record points out that the time of high temperatures on Earth are exactly the times of high CO2. And that when there is a very rapid change, in either direction, it is a time of extinction.

Damn. So I had to look at the rest of your really dumb post. What the scientists say that if we went to zero emissions instantly, and impossibility, that temps would continue to rise for at least 20 to 30 years. Though at a declining rate. We have a big inertial system out there called oceans. As far as your oh so laughable comment about animal skins, it is people like you that are stuck in the past. The technology is already here to completely switch to renewables by 2030. And we would have a more stable and robust grid. But willfully ignorant people like you have zero understanding of technology. I am willing to bet that you were one of the fools that stated the EV's would never work, and Tesla would be bankrupt in a year. And that was only about 8 years ago.

Ummmmmmmmmmmm, if man is responsible for global warming, and the world's population is growing exponentially, we will NEVER get to the point where temps would reverse. As I said, the US isn't even in the top countries who pollute and Biden just had a climate change meeting where the biggest polluters and several large European countries didn't even show up. If the entire US started wearing animal skins, eating berries, and traveling by foot, the world's temps would still be rising. Why should we do that to ourselves? How is the world going to get to zero emissions with the biggest polluting countries in the world NOT getting to zero emissions? The left are fools for believing this.

What??????????????????????????? You just admitted that climate change isn't necessarily man made because the other times in our history with high levels of CO2 and global warming, man wasn't even around. You just proved my point!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lordy, lordy. Damn, some people are just born stupid. Prior to the industrial revolution, CO2 was 280 ppm. We know how much coal we have burned, how much oil and gas we have burned. And that is the only reason at present for the increase in the CO2 in the atmosphere. We stand at 410+ ppm now, and it has not been that high in the last 23 million years. And at that time there were no continental ice sheets in either Greenland or Antarctica.
