    I also read an article that indicated that the Northern ice had actually grown more than it has shrunk over the past few years.

    Just not too sure what to believe anymore.

    Nothin' I suppose. Ice. Does it even exist outside a freeze box? *looks at her Alps*. Yeah, I'll run with it. :sweatsmile::tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy:

    If it's an anonymous climate scientist, they're probably just someone without a job.

    Bushfires and Australia hitting 14 out of the 15 hottest places on earth is a classic example. No one Predicted it would go that way 20, 30 years ago.

    It was all about sea level rises, Maldives supposedly being under water by now

    Not saying it's not happening. Just that its so not happening the way they predicted. Sea levels have only gone up a couple millimetres. Average temps have still only gone up 1 C. Ice melts in summer look dramatic, but it's not having that much of an impact.

    Average temps go up another 1/2 degree, el Nino and the gulf stream shift, then all of a sudden my country never gets a drought, but gets flooded all the time They don't know that, can't predict that

    Can't Predict it in part because no one can get quantum computers to work. Another set of "experts" that have been bullshitting us for a decade

    That's the guy who plans to make contact with an alien race so that he can build a time machine to save his dad dying from cancer. He's the guy that made me stop caring about science 10 years ago because of the selfishness portrayed in spending billions for his own cause. He's the guy spending all your tax money but only cares about his dad, not yours.

    Yep, that's the ****.

    No sane person spends billions to make contact with an alien race so that they can build a time machine.

    If that was the case he'd be doing pure research, not YouTube videos

    Half sane persons spend billions to make contact with an alien race so that they can build a time machine and Half insane persons spend billions to make contact with an alien race so that they can build a time machine.

    "Religious cults are pathetic. Doomsday beliefs. Prophecies that will never happen. Building relics to please the gods. Naive ideas, and strict rules about behavior and diets."

    "The world will end in 12 years. Build windmills to prevent weather catastrophes. Ride scooters to prevent melting glaciers. Go vegan to save the planet!"

    -Same people

    I read with horror the comments Menuchin made about Greta. I was an economist for many years and the economic “conclusions” from Menuchin belong in the ash pile of history. Like many Trumpites there is an appalling lack of understanding of economic concepts like externalities, inter generational equity, and short term monetary gains versus longer term economic costs. It is Thunberg’s generation that will pay the costs of selfish and ignorant thinking perpetrated by the Trumpites and her generation most assuredly must be at the table when climate change is being discussed. NB...I didn’t use the term “debated”.
