Top Ten Reasons Climate Change is a Hoax

TopTenAlGore2

By Elmer Beauregard

The Senate voted this week on whether Climate Change is real or a hoax, I think it’s a hoax and here’s why.

I’m sure you’ve heard in the news that 2014 was supposed to be the hottest year ever. If it actually was “hottest year ever” you’d think all the terrible calamities that are supposed to happen would be happening now but instead the opposite is happening.

1. Record Ice

In 2014 there was record sea ice in Antarctica  in fact a global warming expedition got stuck in it. Arctic sea ice has also made a nice comeback in 2014. The Great lakes had record ice Lake Superior only had 3 ice free months in 2014. You’d think that in the hottest year ever that ice would be melting like Al Gore said.

2. Record Snow

2014 saw record snowfall in many areas, remember when they said that global warming would cause snow to disappear and children won’t know what snow is.

3. Record Cold

In 2014 we saw all kinds of cold records remember the Polar Vortex? You’d think that we’d be breaking all kinds of heat records in “the hottest year ever”

4. Oceans Are Rising Much Less Than Predicted

Al Gore predicted that oceans would rise 20 feet by 2100, it looks like were on track for about a foot. 80% of the tide gauges show less rise than the official “global average”. Many tide gauges show no rise in sea level, and almost none show any acceleration over the past 20 years.

5. Polar Bears Are Thriving

You’d think that Polar Bears would really be in trouble in 2014 “the hottest year ever” but they are thriving.

6. Moose Are Making A Comeback

A few years ago the moose population in Minnesota dropped rapidly and they immediately blamed global warming, then they did a study and found out it was actually wolves that were killing the moose. Wolves have been taken off the endangered species list and are now endangering other species so they opened a wolf hunting season in Minnesota and the moose are coming back. It turns out it had nothing to do with global warming in fact the years when the moose population declined were some very cold ones.

7. 99% of Scientists don’t believe in Catastrophic Man-Made Global Warming

You’ve probably heard over and over that 99% of scientist believe in global warming well the opposite is true. That talking point came from a study where only 75 scientists said they believe in global warming on the other hand over 31,000 scientists have signed a petition saying they don’t believe in Catastrophic Man-Made Global Warming.

8. Nature produces much more CO2 than man

In 2014 NASA finally launched a satellite that measures CO2 levels around the globe. They assumed that most of the CO2 would be coming from the industrialized northern hemisphere but much to their surprise it was coming from the rainforests in South America, Africa and China.

9. It Isn’t Actually the Warmest Year.

If you look at the satellite data 2014 was not the warmest year ever in fact there has been no global warming for over 18 years. The Reason they can say it’s the warmest year is because they are using the ground weather station data which is heavily influenced by the Urban Heat Island effect, many of which are near pavement. Even still they had to cherry pick that data to get at the warmest year ever and it is only the warmest by only two-100ths of a degree within a dataset that has a variability of a half of a degree. The fact they they had to ignore accurate data and fudge sketchy data to push their agenda proves (IMHO) that climate change is a hoax.

10. The Hypocrisy of the Main Players

One of the main reasons you can tell that global warming is a hoax is that the main purveyors of global warming live lifestyles opposite of what they preach, they all own multiple large homes and yachts and they fly around the world in private jets pushing their propaganda. Not to mention some people such as Al Gore actually profit from Carbon Taxes and other green energy laws. If they actually believed what they preached they would be leading quite different lives.

    Fossil fuels more or less comes from decayed dead dinosaurs right?

    Were they not extinct would that be a good thing?

    Come on a lot of you environmental wackos would say “YES” and you know it even if you would never care to admit it…

    Okay then would a long dead dinosaur weigh less than alive and give off less CO2?

    I REST MY CASE….On empirical reasoning alone I have just debunked so called Al Gore and Michele Gorbachev global warming.

    THANK GOD FOR COMMON SENSE

    I will tell you this. My father has been a climatologist for 45 years. He is considered one of the nations leading; however, he was let go from his government job 7 years ago. WHy? Because he was being paid to find a desired result that just wasn’t there. They use real facts to make it look tangible, and provide you with real models. The only problem is, the facts don’t support the overall theory – at all. In fact, the climate is doing now what it has done for thousands of years. Remember when people used to migrate? The climate does change, but there is a trade off.. One area may become cooler while another one becomes warmer. If humans could actually contribute to global warming, our amount when compared to nature’s amount is less than a drop in a swimming pool. Big politicians invest in solar companies, and wind companies, then they sell you on the “fact” of global warming. All the sudden the solar industries stocks are going while, and corrupt politicians are cashing in. They do this with everything. Open your eyes. My whole family is full of environmentalist, there is no reason that we would turn a blind eye to “global Warming” if it actually existed.

    I’m not a scientist, I don’t have a Ph.D and I didn’t stay at a Holiday Inn last night but in my mind the climate IS changing, it’s called SEASONS…

    Are you kidding right now? So what if 2014 wasn’t the “warmest year” because 2016 sure is. I live in Colorado which is supposed to get all 4 seasons. Well we don’t seem to be getting winter or spring. (It snows in winter and It rains in spring if you don’t know. I wouldn’t be surprised if you didn’t since you believe what this article says.) Last year we would have had a snow day already, this year it’s only snowed twice and it melts by the next day. I literally woke up last night because my nose hurt from bleeding because it was so dry. Keep in mind, I have never had a bloody nose before. It has actually been dryer than EVER! And have you seen all the flooding and hurricanes. Yeah, more than ever. Which oh ya, sea levels rise. Just from my everyday life I have experienced global warming FIRST HAND. So if you don’t want to look at the obvious facts than fine. Dont. Hopefully your children and grandchildren don’t have to suffer from your mess.

  6. TheFakeIsReal December 3, 2016 at 6:59 pm #

    The first link: “record sea ice in Antarctica” in reason #1. If you only read the headline you might think that Nasa is saying we have more ice. But if you watch the video right below it or read the article it clearly says that : the Arctic has lost an average of 20,800 square miles (53,900 square kilometers) of ice a year: the Antarctic has gained an average of 7,300 square miles (18,900 sq km). Thats a negative slope of 2.84 miles^2 each year.

    It makes me sad that Nasa would be so careless to title any article in this way knowing that many people don’t bother to read the article which allows them to draw erroneous conclusions.

    The science of global warming is so flawed…It is impossible to predict weather using models. Weather is predicted using models…how is that working out? Duh!

  8. The one that is correct December 7, 2016 at 1:03 am #

    Welp this is just dead wrong

    Comeback arguments based on reason number:

    1) Uh no look at graphs plus that was almost 3 years ago
    http://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/global-temperature/
    2) Cherrypicking data and its also almost 3 years old
    http://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/global-temperature/
    3) Still Cherrypicking data and its also almost 3 years old
    (notice recent years don’t support their model so they ignore it – (cherrypicking data))
    4) Yea but they’re rising – the human race hasn’t see anything like this while we’re taking data – the people modeling this is doing the best they can
    5) Well that’s just a bad fact – and there’s also POLAR BEAR CONSERVATION EFFORTS MORONS
    6) Yea still conservation efforts
    7) Well that’s just dead wrong – should I find links to studies that say the opposite? Okay:
    http://www.skepticalscience.com/global-warming-scientific-consensus-intermediate.htm
    http://climate.nasa.gov/scientific-consensus/
    —Also if you want to argue that it says “catastrophic” – that also says that scientists believe in global warming and the word “catastrophic” is relative – that means this point is completely subjective to whatever – it just says that 3% believes in catastrophic change – and i said above that “catastrophic” is relative
    8) https://www.skepticalscience.com/human-co2-smaller-than-natural-emissions.htm – you can say it produces more but it absorbs the co2 back through photosynthesis – our industrial system doesn’t reclaim the co2 it produces so it results in a buildup in co2
    9) http://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/global-temperature/ – look at the graph
    10) I mean kind of but how do they profit?

    If you don’t believe anything about this its okay – we’re all gonna eat it in about 20 years anyway – you can’t deny the truth. I invite you to argue but time will prove me correct

    From the laws of thermodynamics it does not pass the smell test. The total mass of the atmosphere is 5×10^18 kg, so it would take 6×10^J to rise 1C. I find it impossible to believe that a 30% increase in CO2, of a gas that makes up on 13% of air, can cause that much energy to be emitted into the entire mass of air.

    • Elmer Beauregard December 7, 2016 at 10:08 pm #

      Actually CO2 only make up .04% of the atmosphere.

      • Blair Simpkins December 8, 2016 at 12:20 am #

        Sorry, I meant to say only 13% of green house gas. Water vapor makes up about 87%. The heating is most likely coming from the oceans which is a giant heat pump/sink.

    Hottest temperature on Earth was 3,600° Fahrenheit, 800 million years ago during the period known as the Neoproterozoic. Now I’m laying in bed in my Pearl City home and the temperature is 71 degrees, and when I go to my Aiea home again it’s 71 degrees. There’s always been Climate Change since 4.5 Billion years ago and Earth has the abilities to regulate it self…

    Let’s, for a moment, accept that all of the previous cycles of the earth get warmer and cooler (before man kind built it’s 1st factory) can’t be factored into the discussion.
    Let’s assume, for the same moment or two, that CO2 is the sole reason for all of the planet’s temperature woes.
    Let’s assume, for the same (now cramped) couple of moments, that it matters not, that the argument keeps switching from warming to cooling, from melting to freezing from flooding to drought from crops failing to overgrowth.

    Finally let’s, for this now completely full couple of moments, accept that it matters not that the majority of the data collected was not designed to prove an agenda instead it’s an attempt to seek the truth.

    That all said and done…
    How does:
    a Carbon Tax help?
    a tax burden on the nations that could most solve the problem, help solve the problem?
    a tax exchange that enriches other countries that will, over time, turn into a industrious one (China) help?
    a tax that enriches a select few that control the exchange by take their sliver of the pie, help?
    Wouldn’t it seem much more logical to either give incentives to companies to develop alterative?
    If you used a tax, shouldn’t that tax go directly to that country’s alterative energy program designed to be later sold or even shared with the planet?

    Theses questions are intended to reveal the real agenda. The redistribution of wealth on a global scale while making multi-billionaires of an elite few. All the while suffering the average worker. Simply wake up and yes, follow the money.

    Science be damned.

    1. The very first article reads “Studies show that globally, the decreases in Arctic sea ice far exceed the increases in Antarctic sea ice.”

    2. 2nd article reads “However, the amount of snow does not necessarily correlate with temperature. It simply needs to be near or below freezing for snow to fall. Temperatures that average 1-2 degrees F above normal over the globe can still support snow in many places. Furthermore, slightly warmer than normal temperatures increase atmospheric moisture content, elevating potential snow amounts where they occur.”

    3. again, read the actual article.

    4. again, read the actual article…..

    5./6. Polar bear populations have been in decline over the last 50 years, and what is this about Moose populations?

    7. this petition has long proved to be a hoax

    8.True, nature does produce much more CO2 – but according to every single figure and piece of data, notably looking at this figure here http://www.justfacts.com/images/globalwarming/ipcc_2001.png it is very clear that human impact is significant and accounts somewhere between 10-30% of CO2 emissions

    9. You are looking at one year, seriously? These trends are over decades and hundreds of years; due to earth’s rotation around the sun and other phenomena, temperature varies naturally on 1-2 year cycles.

    Okay here’s what I will say: Anybody reading The New York Times, watching too much mainstream news or posting “Now This” bullshit is probably just as ignorant of actual scientific data as “deniers.” Global Warming was manufactured by the media, and is grossly misunderstood by liberals and conservatives alike. There is a lot of money being thrown around and a lot of politics involved; I actually applaud those who choose to challenge the mainstream ideas of Climate Change; true science is skepticism.

    However, Global Climate Change has reached a scientific consensus, and it takes all of 5 minutes before debunking any article that claims to suggest otherwise.

    Remember that science is a process, and through this process, the only truth we have found is that we are always wrong about something. To inappropriately (yet metaphorically) apply, Heisenberg’s principle, one cannot observe without affecting the results.

    Some liberals listen too 🙂 just make sure you “climate deniers” give the same level of scrutiny to your articles as you do to ours

    Those studying volcanoes have proven the more co2 and other gases are released into the atmosphere in one eruption than all man made gases combined, and there is at least one erupts every year. Also, we are producing more plant based foods than ever, using up vast qua ties of co2.

    cellulose is the what a plant produces during the process of biosynthesis. Cellulose is what plants use to grow there stalks, and produce their vascular tissue. Biosynthesis uses, get this @85vintage:disqus , leftover carbon dioxide from the processes of photosynthesis, and cellular respiration. So actual, a plant literally uses carbon dioxide to CREATE ITSELF. So can you explain how plants use hardly any CO2 in there lives?

  20. banzomaikaka December 16, 2016 at 2:23 pm #

    climate change is real. scientists agree on that. What some scientists believe is that it’s not human caused. There’s compelling ‘evidence’ for the argument that it’s human caused. there’s also ‘evidence’ that human activity has nothing to do with it. However, if you look closely, you’ll see that the evidence for the latter argument comes in one way or the other from people invested in the exact activities pointed to as being the main culprits of climate change – people who can fabricate as many believable evidence as they can – and if you believe they wouldn’t do this, then, well, there’s not a lot of hope in convincing you.

  21. Povel Vieregg December 18, 2016 at 12:10 am #

    Say I am open about the possibility of the theory of man made climate change being wrong. What I still have not understood is how could a global conspiracy like this ever happen. All major climate research organizations are behind this theory and so is most published peer reviewed papers in the field. Not just from organizations and people in the US but across the whole world. How did all these scientists and politicians all over the world get together and conspire to fool the public about this?

  22. Subtle3ntropy December 22, 2016 at 6:15 am #

    Think of it this way. If oceans are hotter, it will produce more violent storms. More moisture in the air means hotter temperatures. More hurricanes and stronger snow storms.
    When it’s cold, it’ll be colder and when it’s hot, it’ll be hotter. In the end, the surface of the planet will be covered by storms.

    Record cold will be accompanied by record hot. When the rate of temperature change out pace evolution, wildlife will die out without human intervention.

    Record snowfall is to be expected, so does record melting of ice caps. They are not mutually exclusive.

    Endangered animals thriving is not proof that climate change isn’t real, for climate change isn’t the only factor. Reduce hunting, adapting, change in location can all contribute to population growth.

    Awareness =/= knowledge.

    As we’ve only been on the planet a couple thousand years, it’s impossible to say what is man caused and what is naturally caused. It’s all in God’s hands anyway, so worrying is needless. The devil has many fools fooled and in a panic.
    Liberalism…is cancer.

    Climate skeptics, please MOVE TO MIAMI BEACH if you’re so sure. As others flee Miami, you will be able to buy cheap oceanfront property. Put your money where your mouth is.

    Also, please BUY STOCK IN OIL COMPANIES. As others divest, you will be able to buy low. Show us how that works out and see if you prove us wrong.

    Also, please APPLY FOR JOBS AT OIL COMPANIES. As others shy away, there should be many more openings. Show us how that works out long-term.

    You’re an idiot if you can’t see that liberals are pillaging your wallet and tax dollars, whether you’re too dumb to see it or you see it but allow it to happen because it’s another thing for you to use to argue about. Much like the theory of evolution, you need alot more than feels to turn that theory into fact. Here’s a hint: Just like evolution, global warming will forever remain a theory. You spend decades looking for that missing link. “I KNOW FOR A FACT my theory is true without a shred of evidence to prove me right. I just need to find that one piece of evidence that will rewrite the books!” It never comes around. 50 years after every single one of you idiots are dead and gone, people will still be in your place arguing how real global warming is, and not a damn thing in the world will have changed to either prove or disprove them. The only difference between evolution and global warming is one of these things are a hoax to make money off gullible liberals.

    It’s a hoax to milk dollar signs out of people. Face it, you’ve been had. But keep preaching how “it’s basically a fact” and I’ll keep driving my gas guzzler. I bet you do, too. “ooooooh maaaaaaaaan I need my car I mean I’ll sit here and debate global warming with these idiot non believers but at the end of the day me not using my car won’t save the earth sooooooooooo……”

    Fucking liberals.

    Al Gore made the case that there is a correspondence between global warming and an increased percentage of CO2 in the atmosphere. That’s true, but CO2 is the effect of global warming, not the cause. The increase in CO2 is the result of the oceans’, as they get warmer, losing some of their ability to dissolve CO2. “Man-made global warming” is all a big, big hoax! It’s an underhanded money/power grab. Environmentalists would have more effect in the long run if they would simply be honest instead of lying in order to get taxpayer dollars! Now their reputation is down the tubes. Who is going to take anything they say seriously?

No it’s not caused by humans, it’s caused by the Sun. Why don’t liberals give up cars, electricity, restaurants, and airplane travel if they truly believe their own lies. It’s a hoax.

        If the writer can not grasp concepts taught in 6th grade English, the ability to understand one of the most complex sciences in the modern field is questionable. If you would like quick rebuttal to this article they are guilty of several “logical fallacies” which are taught in 11th Grade English. I would explain which but perhaps you’ll take the time to educate yourself about them if but to only argue with me. I’d like to make the final point that I’m not engaging in the climate change discussion, rather the common sense involved in who you get your information from. Authors who’s main job is to write that don’t understand how to write is like trusting your car to a mechanic that doesn’t understand how an internal combustion engine works. Personally I’d make sure my mechanic is certified.

            “surpassed the Reagan economy”
            THAT occurred during the Obama Administration.

            “The one where millions literally lost their homes and livelihoods.”
            THAT occurred during the Obama Administration.

            “the banking systems were allowed to screw the “Little People”
            THAT too occurred during the last Republican Bush Administration.

            Millions “Stopped collecting unemployment benefits.”

            You mean Millions ran out of unemployment benefits and gave up looking for work because there was none available… a statistic not reported which greatly skewed the unemployment rate.

            Millions out of work during his tenure. Millions losing homes and vehicles due to lack of income because if no jobs… even though promise after promise of “Shovel ready projects”. The only shoveling was the BS from Obama and his lackeys. The ONLY substantial economic growth was increasing his own net worth from about 500,000 to millions all in a 200+ grand a year salary.

            You know… well maybe not.

            Let me educate you just a little…
            Throughout the Obama reign, many manufacturers closed, shut down forever, never to be heard from again. How do I know this? I saw it, was a part of it.
            Restaurants closed by the tens of thousands. Why? People had no jobs and thus no money to spend. Kmart basically folded, retail sales sucked. Jobs, lost by the millions, wages of those jobs left stagnant. Unemployment Benefits extended three times by Congress (They don’t do that if jobs are available). Obama had an opportunity to work for the people. Instead he spent the majority of his efforts in apologizing to foreign countries because America is who she is… The greatest country this Planet has ever seen or will see. Obama blew it, taxed it, benefited personally from it and walked away a millionaire while the “Little People” were trying just to buy groceries and pay the necessities to survive. That is what the Progressive, Liberal Democrats are about… themselves and every one else must bow down or pay a penalty (ObamaCare).
            I personally have checked into it and for me and my wife alone, premiums are 850 to 1250 per month with a 12,500 deductible plus copays (My most recent check was within the last two weeks) That is over 50% of my income before taxes for premiums and deductibles alone. Who, can afford such? Now I pay a penalty of approximately 1200 per year for not being able to purchase the brand of Hot Dogs Obama and the Dems mandated me to purchase. The penalty is far better… I pay out approximately 2500 to 3000 per year for doctors and meds for my diabetic wife and myself. I am far better off without his mandates as millions of others are. Not to mention the blatant lies told to promote it by him personally.
            I personally do not care what your statistics say. They mean nothing to me or 10s of millions of others because we live it daily. We have our own set of tried and proven stats, which are believable.

            and the invasion of SWAMP FLIES pillaging and pilfering the national treasury.”

            That is exactly why Congress had to put in the “Pelosi Clause”. To stop her from pilfering the US Treasury of billions for personal gain and to pay off favors from “Friends”. God only knows what Reid and his ilk took.

            Just because you order to believe Progressive, Liberal organizations and their “Reports” does not mean my account is not true or verifiable. It is easily verifiable. Talk to the real people instead if believing published garbage. Who do these organizations talk with to gather their stats? It’s definitely not the working people if this country.
            As for the subsidies you promote…
            I and my family DO NOT DEPEND ON GOVERNMENT TO SURVIVE. We are independent, working people who make our own. Why, please tell me why would I, or anyone else in this country, accept such subsidies when at the end of the year they are taxed as income and all the while you or I, at least, are still expending over 30% of income for the Brand of Hot Dogs the government says I must purchase?
            For most Americans that large of a liability coupled with the rest of their survival liabilities outs them in the position with the Banking industry where they will never qualify for a mortgage. In other words they can never own a home, never… well unless it is inherited and then pulling a mortgage to pay insurance premiums, then losing it because the subsidies were taken away because they own property.

            AS YOU CALL OBAMA a MARXIST/KENYAN
            .
            NO OTHER PRESIDENT has EVER PRIVATIZED a Huge Part of the Federal Government.
            ” Obama’s true legacy may be something altogether different:
            the standing up of a commercial space industry
            that has ended the government’s monopoly on space.

            When the space shuttle was retired in 2011,
            NASA looked to the commercial sector to fly its
            astronauts and cargo to the International Space Station,
            fertilizing the industry with billions of dollars in contracts.
            And in the past few years, the industry has begun to blossom,
            reinvigorating interest in space with
            dramatic landings of rockets on ships with other, unprecedented feats.

            “Just five years ago, U.S. companies were shut out
            of the global commercial launch market,”
            Obama wrote. “Today, thanks to groundwork laid by the men and women of NASA,
            they own more than a third of it. More than 1,000 companies
            across nearly all 50 states are working on private space initiatives.”

            Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin New Shepard rocket was the first rocket to land vertically.
            Now, after four previous flights, it is undergoing another
            test of the in-flight escape systems. (Reuters)

            Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic and Jeffrey P. Bezos’s Blue
            Origin promise suborbital tourist flights within a couple of years.
            (Bezos owns The Washington Post.)
            SpaceX and Boeing are working toward flying astronauts to the space station.
            Bigelow Aerospace is building inflatable habitats that could ultimately succeed the station.
            In fact, one of the habitats is currently attached to the station.

            “It will become one of the great ironies in the history of exploration
            into space that someone many politicians called a socialist
            was a champion for the possibilities of capitalism in space,” said James Muncy,
            a space policy analyst at PoliSpace, a consulting firm. Obama “stepped in and
            said we’re going to try public private partnerships, and it is working.”

            Obama summarily destroyed the societies in Lybia and Syria advocating for civil war and giving arms to “moderate” opposition groups. Leading to the deaths of 100,000s of people. Those arms somehow ended up in the hands Of Isil/Isis.

            Obama’s economy only started to improve once the sequester of 2013 took hold. The immediate response by the market was a down turn, but that was fueled by doomsayers like Paul Krugman. Once reality kicked in unemployment came down and the market started to stabilize and go up. Trumps tax cut and deregulation has improved the economy further.

            that has ended the government’s monopoly on space.

            When the space shuttle was retired in 2011, NASA looked to the commercial sector to fly its astronauts and cargo to the International Space Station, fertilizing the industry with billions of dollars in contracts.

            And in the past few years, the industry has begun to blossom, reinvigorating interest in space with dramatic landings of rockets on ships with other, unprecedented feats.

            Annual Deficits were cut by 70% since 2007!

            Unemployment rate during the previous administration, especially in the last two years, was a fabricated number to attempt to make the electorate think the Marxists were increasing employment. All for the hope of placing a female Nero in office to continue the destruction.

            I am an employer, business was so bad, almost nonexistent for our market segment, almost had to close the doors. Far more of our customers, restaurant and hospitality industry, struggling and going out of business.

            You can look at government produced numbers all you want. But all of us in my company have lived the reality of it and the current admin is far better for business and success that the Marxist, Socialist Democrats have ever been in my adult life.

            Just lime the hysteria of “income inequality”, the Global Warming/Cooling/change or whatever the new hot button is today, is nothing but a means for those like Big Al and the Marist left to control and become the top .25% of the wealthiest of the wealthy by imposing laws and mandates that they will never be required to follow, just like ObamaCare, Social Security, etc..

            Don’t know what businesses you are/were in, but manufacturing for the restaurant business sucked. Not just mine but even in talking to our competitors, they too were having it extremely rough during the last admin. Ours is private owned, as our competitors are, not publicly traded.

            Now, under this admin, we are relocating to expand and introduce additional product lines for a different industry along with our restaurant products.

            So why did you sell out???

            It took years for the Government and the FREE ENTERPRISE SYSTEM WORLDWIDE to dig its way out of the hole.

            ” Obama’s true legacy may be something altogether different:
            the standing up of a commercial space industry that has ended the government’s monopoly on space.

            When the space shuttle was retired in 2011,
            NASA looked to the commercial sector to fly its astronauts and cargo to the International Space Station, fertilizing the industry with billions of dollars in contracts.
            And
            in the past few years, the industry has begun to blossom, reinvigorating interest in space with dramatic landings of rockets on ships with other, unprecedented feats.

            “Just five years ago, U.S. companies were shut out of the global commercial launch market,”
            Obama wrote. “Today, thanks to groundwork laid by the men and women of NASA, they own more than a third of it. More than 1,000 companies across nearly all 50 states are working on private space initiatives.”
            .
            Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin New Shepard rocket was the first rocket to land vertically.
            Now, after four previous flights, it is undergoing another
            test of the in-flight escape systems. (Reuters)

            Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic and Jeffrey P. Bezos’s Blue
            Origin promise suborbital tourist flights within a couple of years.
            (Bezos owns The Washington Post.)
            SpaceX and Boeing are working toward flying astronauts to the space station.
            Bigelow Aerospace is building inflatable habitats that could ultimately succeed the station.
            In fact, one of the habitats is currently attached to the station.

            “It will become one of the great ironies in the history of exploration
            into space that someone many politicians called a socialist
            was a champion for the possibilities of capitalism in space,” said James Muncy,
            a space policy analyst at PoliSpace, a consulting firm. Obama “stepped in and
            said we’re going to try public private partnerships, and it is working.”

            Glad you could retire and enjoy a little of life. My hope in about 9 or 10 years…

            I am very well aware of the privatization of racketeering. However, remember that our own government was relying on foreign governments, some not so friendly, for space work prior.

            I think it ironic that you lay blame on a specific party for the last recession. It is the fault of both major parties. The only organization to blame is Congress, both houses. They are too worried about their own individual self preservation. They are only for the people during campaign time and one elected or reelected they begin jockeying immediately for the next election.
            Private and small business owners are what makes us great. Yes, Congress recognizes that but only when they have spent all in the kitty and want more. Enough is enough.

            AND, you do that to yourself, voluntarily!

            to your point……
            1st.
            When you lay off or fire Millions upon Millions of people as the Republican Depression DID!
            1.
            ….YOU not only lose Billions in TAX DOLLARS ! but
            2.
            ….YOU create MILLIONS! of needy children & families!
            … all around the country!

            ….which means MILLIONS! of needy friends & neighbors
            4.
            …patriots one and all.
            .
            2nd.
            In order to blame a President for this economic disaster you have to point to something HE DID that contributed to it…
            to the debt, for example.
            .
            THE Entire 8 Year Obama Admin. AVERAGED a growth in Government / Spending of just 3.3%
            …..NEARLY 1/3rd the rate of growth of GW BUSH (8.7%)
            .& NEARLY 1/3rd the rate of growth of Ronald Reagan (8.1%)
            ….
            IN FACT,
            That Obama rate is the smallest spending / government growth curve SINCE DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER !
            .
            *** THAT IS A TEXT BOOK DEFINITION OF A FISCAL CONSERVATIVE ! ***

            Despite what you have read in those political news media sites you read,
            THEY are not paid to tell the truth
            …but rather to spout the political line that best supports the Military Industrial Complex which INCLUDES the COAL & OIL industries & Proponents of Atmospheric CO2 accumulation (coal & oil Billionaires).

            ECONOMIC EXPANSION is in its 10th CONSECUTIVE YEAR.

            UNEMPLOYMENT HAS BEEN FALLING for 9 Years across the country.

            ALL WHILE GROWING GOVERNMENT SPENDING/GROWTH just 3.3%/ year !

            The Dow Jones Industrial Averages nearly Tripled from the Depth of the Republican Depression to nearly the end of the Obama Administration.

            A.
            The Annual Deficit was $439 Billion at the end of the Obama Admin.
            B.
            The Annual Deficit ROSE to $666 BILLION at the end of 2017, TRUMP’S 1st Year in office. 50% increase!
            C.
            The Annual Deficit IS INCREASING 50% Again in 2018!
            Over $1 TRILLION PER YEAR…in the name of GIVING international corporate conglomerates and the Military Industrial Complex and the Killer COAL & OIL Companies unheard of tax advantages.

            TRUMP Inherited a RUBUST Growing Economy !

            “This the biggest tax cut in U.S. history”(Evan Vucci/AP)

            THE SWAMP Trump began making this claim when the shape of the GOP tax legislation was still rather unclear.

            1.
            In point of fact Reagan’s cut was bigger.
            2.
            Obama had 2 TWO TAX CUTS that were EACH bigger.
            ********************
            Trump also claimed that the tax bill would “cost me a fortune” — when, in fact,…probably would save him millions of dollars.
            *******************
            “The tax bill will pay for itself”

            Days after this statement,
            Trump was speaking to a mega Rich crowd that paid $200,000 each for the right to attend Mar-a-Lago,

            … “YOU ALL JUST GOT A LOT RICHER”
            . Needless to say, he got a standing Ovation.

            (Andrew Harrer/Bloomberg News)
            .
            Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin repeatedly claimed
            that the tax cut would pay for itself
            — and then some.
            At one point,
            he even asserted that the $1.5 trillion plan
            “will cut down the deficits by a trillion dollars.”

            On debt. Chuck and Nancy were giddy to present Trump that enormous budget proposal. They contributed to its size and scope. In no way can it all be attributed to Trump.

            And on the 2009 budget Chuck and Nancy didnt sign Bush’s 3.1 Trillion budget proposal. They held it up and Obama added $500 billion to it and signed in 2009. Then all the leftist outlets now claim it was part f Bush’s debt. That $500 billion was a 17.9% increase compared to Bush’s budget proposal.

            Trump is reaping the deficits and debt that Obama set up from his own policies and laws pushed through. Obama’s design was to make it through his time in office and let future administrations deal with his carnage. He well knew the people had had more than enough of the socialist progressive agenda and would not put another socialist in the White House. Trump is simply reaping what Obama had intentionally sewn.
            Had by some absolute miracle a progressive would have been elected, those numbers you cite as being a Trump debacle would be much higher and our country would be in a depression similar to that of Venezuela today.

            Like I said. These are a direct result of Obama pushing out the debt and deficits he created so as to cruise through his time and set future administrations up with his debt and deficits.
            The excellent Trump economy is in no way affiliated with Obama. Trump has been hit from every direction with bad policy and sink holes Obama left behind and has still managed to grow the economy far more than any progressive socialist can imagine.

            NO EVIDENCE of Russians & TRUMP
            If there are accusations of Trump colluding with the Russians, why is it that by now not a shred of evidence has been shown?

            Greg Larson, I read the news and think about what I learn.

            If you think that not one shred of evidence has been shown, then either you have been paying no attention, or you don’t understand the meaning of the word ‘evidence’.

            Evidence is any observation, object, or fact which would tend to persuade somebody of something.

            I considered then candidate Trump’s elevation of Paul Manafort from Allie, advisor, campaigner to campaign manager(5 months) to be pretty strong evidence that he was beholden to the Russians. There was literally no other reason to put Manafort in charge.

            Candidate/ President Trump’s refusal to criticize anything that Vladimir Putin said or did,
            especially in the context of his tendency to criticize absolutely everybody else, was also evidence.

            His naming of General Flynn as National Security Adviser was another piece of evidence. Jumping out of order, the later revelation that Flynn was texting to his Russian buddies, actually during the inauguration, that the project they were putting together, which had been illegal due to sanctions, was now good to go, made perfectly clear that Flynn was working with Russians. And if you believe that President Trump would allow a subordinate to profit, while he did not, you have the wrong guy.

            We all learned of the Trump Tower meeting with Veselnitskaya, at about the same time that we learned that President Trump composed the first excuse memo, which was a transparent lie. But the lie he told, that the meeting had been about lifting the ban on adoption of Russian infants, was so well attuned to the actual substance, which was the sanctions imposed by the Magnitsky act and Russia’s banning of the American adoption of Russian infants, that he clearly had been aware of the meeting all along.

            Side note: When Jr testified before Nunes’ committee about the meeting, they knew from his cell phone records that he had placed a call immediately after the meeting was over. The Republican majority on that committee accepted his claim that he did not remember who he called or why. They did not subpoena the records of the called phone to see who owned it. I view the call as evidence that Sr was involved and read in, and I view Nunes’ refusal to find out who the call went to as evidence that Nunes was complicit in the obstruction of justice as well.

            The day that then candidate Trump asked Russia to “find” Hillary’s missing emails, Russian hackers changed their targets, and started trying to hack the email accounts of her likely correspondents. That is evidence of either a conspiracy or a startling coincidence. The day that the “Grab them by the pussy” tape was published, so were the first of those stolen emails, knocking the tape off the front page. Evidence of either conspiracy or coincidence.

            President Trump’s meeting with Lavrov and Kislyak without any American press or American aides present is evidence. His revealing codeword intel to them is evidence. His later meeting with Russian President Putin without any American scribes, translator, Intelligence officers, or other aides present is evidence.

            The fact that both Jr and Eric claimed that the Trump Organization was getting lots of its financing from Russia after the latest rounds of bankruptcies is evidence, at least of the fact that the Trump Organization owed money to oligarchs.

            The records of the startling profit that Donald Trump made in selling a house to oligarch Rybolovlev are evidence that Trump has been helping Russians launder money.
            So are many of the purchases of apartments in Trump Towers.

            You may claim that all of the bits of evidence I have named, and others besides, are not convincing, or that they have innocent explanations. I think that is naive. But to claim they don’t exist is insulting.

            Edit:
            Of course, it is likely that Special Counsel Mueller has accumulated additional evidence which he may share with us when it is legally appropriate. The answer to one interpretation of the question is that he is very careful not to allow leaks from his investigation. I have chosen to address this question only in terms of what evidence is already widely available.

            Q:
            If there are accusations of Trump colluding with the Russians,
            why is it that by now not a shred of evidence has been shown?

Why are any of those 4, not to mention their many other affiliates, still walking around the streets and allowed to be involved in anything besides cell block roll call???
            This is the joke, this is the story with all of the actual hard evidence and proof that any fresh, green attorney could prosecute with 100% conviction. Much like buying a prostitute… she’s a sure thing. Yet nothing, absolutely nothing done about their lies, deceit, and personal gain to and at the cost of the American people.

            Name CALLING is not evidence.

            couldn’t

            General Michael Flynn
            broke many United States LAWS and Virginia State Laws.
            Congress had barely begun its first, very reluctant investigation,
            & had already come to that conclusion.

            General Flynn was breaking the law on the payroll of a SANCTIONED ENEMY STATE
            of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA
            as a
            Campaigner/advisor for TRUMP, as a foreign policy advisor for TRUMP, as
            National Security Advisor, a damned important position with an office right next to the president in the white house..
            AT THE Innauguration, FLYNN was finalizing an agreement for a TRUMP HOTEL IN MOSCOW….
            Remember TRUMPS CLAIMS he had no deals, no financial arrangmentes, no nothing with RUSSIA?????

            **
            Hillary Clinton
            was careless, foolish, & arrogant, but she did not deliberately aid any foreign power!
            **
            Michael Flynn
            Directly acted-on-behalf of a foreign nation, with a history of hostility toward the United States, & accepted a great deal of money in payment for that service.
            .
            It was definitively illegal, & comes very, very close to the definition of treason.
            **
            Gen. Michael Flynn’s
            transgressions were more than 1000% worse than whatever you think Hillary did !

            and
            he was back campaigning for Republicans last week.

            Now,
            What is the motivation FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP to hire General FYNN, who PUBLICLY advocated
            a CHRISTIAN CRUSADE against the “FAKE” Muslim Religion
            ALL the while tens of thousands of US Soldiers and
            thousands more US civilians were sitting-ducks in the
            MIDDLE of 1.6 BILLION MUSLIMS (Afghanistan, Iraq, Jordan etc.)
            .
            Perhaps
            it is the same motivation that led the president to forward totally unverified
            anti MUSLIM videos:

            DONALD J. TRUMP has shared a series of anti-Muslim tweets from RABID far-right extremist group Britain First, sparking condemnation for spreading its “deplorable” ideology to a global audience.

            The first video, originally shared by deputy leader Jayda Fransen’s account, claimed to show “Muslim migrants beating up a Dutch boy on crutches”.

            A second re-post was captioned “Muslim destroys statue of Virgin Mary”, while a third read “Islamist mob pushes teenage boy off roof and beats him to death”.

            “….In the chaotic aftermath of FBI director James Comey’s
            abrupt firing on Tuesday, politicians and the rest of
            the DC apparatus rushed about in a flurry of statements
            and justifications.

            But the controversy supposedly at the heart of Comey’s conflict
            with Donald Trump—the investigations into potential connections
            between Trump’s 2016 campaign and the Russian operatives…
            .
            …one of the figures at the center of those investigations is
            Michael Flynn.”
            .
            “…Flynn was the national security adviser under Trump
            until he resigned in disgrace after lying to Vice President Mike Pence
            and others about his post-election conversations
            with a Russian ambassador. ”
            .
            “But there are still questions about Flynn’s conduct
            and why the White House didn’t fire him immediately …”
            .
            “…”The White House was already covering up for Michael Flynn
            by refusing to provide a single document to Congress.”
            .
            “…(2016 a campaigner/advisor for Trump)That July, he took the podium
            at an event put on by ACT for America, which the Southern Poverty Law Center
            describes as “far and away the largest grassroots
            anti-Muslim group in America.”

            At that time, the Turkish military was attempting a coup against
            Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan;
            Flynn told the crowd the coup was a good thing because Turkey was moving
            “towards Islamism.” The following month, according to the New York Times,
            a business linked to the Turkish government gave Flynn’s lobbying firm
            a contract eventually worth $530,000….”
            .
            “…According to former CIA director James Woolsey, while working as an
            unpaid adviser/cmapaigner for Trump’s campaign, Flynn took a meeting with
            Turkish government officials in September 2016 in his capacity as a consultant.
            The purpose of the meeting was to discuss Fethullah Gulen,
            an Erdogan opponent living in the US; Flynn had denounced Gulen in his Hill op-ed,
            and Erdogan blamed Gulen for the attempted coup.

            Woolsey told CNN that there was talk of getting Gulen into Turkish hands
            somehow at this meeting—which sounds vaguely like kidnapping—but Flynn denies this.”
            .
            “…2016: He was allegedly an unregistered foreign agent

            The 1938 law requires Americans who do lobbying work for foreign governments
            to register with the Justice Department.

            Flynn’s Turkey-related activities may have fallen under that category,
            but even though the contract his firm signed ended in November,
            he didn’t fill out the necessary paperwork until after he was out of the administration.
            Being an unregistered foreign agent—admittedly a phrase that sounds more ominous
            than it is, —is a felony, though it’s rarely prosecuted.

            Flynn also failed to disclose the payment he got for the 2015 RT event. ”
            .
            “… But in December, during the transition between Obama and Trump,
            Flynn spoke to Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak and reportedly
            talked about the sanctions Obama had imposed on Russia in retaliation
            for interfering in the 2016 election.

            An obscure law called the Logan Act forbids private citizens
            from conducting diplomacy…”
            .
            “…Flynn went on to apparently mislead Vice President Pence
            about that conversation, and in January,
            Pence denied on TV that Flynn and Kislyak had talked about sanctions.
            Sally Yates, then the acting attorney general, WARNED the White House
            that Flynn had in fact spoken about sanctions, (YATES was fired for the warning)
            but it wasn’t until 18 days after her warning that the
            national security adviser was asked to step down—tellingly,
            after the Washington Post published a story about the incident.
            (This Tuesday, reporters asked White House press secretary Sean Spicer
            why the White House waited those 18 days, but Spicer wouldn’t answer.)”
            .
            “…He may still be concealing some information about his finances

            The investigation into Flynn is far from over:
            According to an Associated Press report out this week,
            Flynn and his former Turkish client dispute whether two $40,000 payments
            were for lobbying or not, raising yet more questions about his dealings.
            And whoever the next head of the FBI is, there will be lots of people working
            on finding out answers to those questions….”
            .
            Unaccounted for funds have reached $200,000 from RUSSIAN BUSINESS INTERESTS (FSB/KGB)
            and $600,000 from TURKISH Business Interests (Married to FSB/KGB).

          Your analogy is good. I would also go as far as to say that if “The Report” is where information is gleaned to make an argument for “Climate Change”, then the one gleaning the information would be well advised to account for the published Margin of error in said report. This published margin is actually 900 times greater that nothing has happened than the touted numbers that have been “Cherry Picked” from the same report.
          Herein lies the problem… critical information is omitted in order to create a catastrophe in the minds of the masses for the sole purpose of personal cash flow.

          This month President Trump mocked a sexual assault survivor, called a woman he allegedly slept with and paid to keep silent “Horseface,” labeled the Federal Reserve “loco,” and applauded a US congressman who body-slammed a reporter for asking him a question.

          This
          isn’t even his most dangerous language.

          That’s

          being reserved for Democrats, who are being subjected to some of the most disturbing and incendiary language used in recent memory by a president to describe his political opponents.

          “The Democrats,” says Trump, are “arsonists” who “have become too extreme and too dangerous to govern.”

          • boldaq October 24, 2018 at 7:06 pm #

            “sexual assault survivor” = A lying prostitute.

            “Nationalism definition is – loyalty and devotion to a nation; especially : a sense of national consciousness exalting one nation above all others and placing primary emphasis on promotion of its culture and interests as opposed to those of other nations or supranational groups.”

            I spoke with a gentleman today, a former Yukranian. He is now an American citizen (done things the right way). He declares himself a Democrat. However, he understands, first hand, what Trump is trying to do and boldly disagrees with the Democrats. I asked why? He said; “America Is the next step from heaven” to him because he has lived and experienced “Russia” and Europe and the Democrats are working to change America to those systems that are failing and turn the people to mere subjects to a few powerful. He stated he will vote for Trump again and try his best to help keep America free.
            Now that is a testament.

            A few days after a US REPORTER was

            TORTURED & DISMEMBERED…by SAUDI’S.
            .
            TRUMP

            was at a Campaign for a candidate who

            BODY SLAMMED a US REPORTER.
            HE Congratulated and Praised the action….
            “REALLY HIGH TOO!”

            Russian Dictator Putin….who TRUMP calls a great leader !

            Who do you love,
            1.
            That when you saw a man who had owned a fraudulent University, intent on scamming poor people,
            you thought “Fine.”
            2.
            That when you saw a man who had made it his business practice to stiff his creditors,
            you said, “Okay.”
            3.
            That when you heard him proudly brag about his own history of sexual abuse,
            you said, “No problem.”
            4.
            That when he made up stories about seeing Muslim-Americans in the thousands cheering the destruction of the World Trade Center,
            you said, “Not an issue.”
            5.
            That when you saw him brag that he could shoot a man on Fifth Avenue and you wouldn’t care,
            you chirped, “He sure knows me.”
            6.
            That when you heard him illustrate his own character by telling that cute story about the elderly guest bleeding on the floor at his country club, the story about how he turned his back and how it was all an imposition on him,
            you said, “That’s cool!”
            7.
            That when you saw him mock the disabled,
            you thought it was the funniest thing you ever saw.
            8.
            That when you heard him brag that he doesn’t read books,
            you said, “Well, who has time?”
            9.
            That when the Central Park Five were compensated as innocent men convicted of a crime they didn’t commit, and he angrily said that they should still be in prison, you said, “That makes sense.”
            10.
            That when you heard him tell his supporters to beat up protesters and that he would hire attorneys,
            you thought, “Yes!”
            11.
            That when you heard him tell one rally to confiscate a man’s coat before throwing him out into the freezing cold,
            you said, “What a great guy!”
            12.
            That you have watched the parade of neo-Nazis and white supremacists with whom he curries favor, while refusing to condemn outright Nazis, and
            you have said, “Thumbs up!”
            13.
            That you hear him unable to talk to foreign dignitaries without insulting their countries and demanding that they praise his electoral win,
            you said, “That’s the way I want my President to be.”
            14.
            That you have watched him remove expertise from all layers of government in favor of people who make money off of eliminating protections in the industries they’re supposed to be regulating and
            you have said, “What a genius!”
            15.
            That you have heard him continue to profit from his businesses, in part by leveraging his position as President, to the point of overcharging the Secret Service for space in the properties he owns, and
            you have said, “That’s smart!”
            16.
            That you have heard him say that it was difficult to help Puerto Rico because it was the middle of water and
            you have said, “That makes sense.”
            17.
            That you have seen him start fights with every country from Canada to New Zealand while praising Russia and quote, “falling in love” with the dictator of North Korea, and
            you have said, “That’s statesmanship!”
            18.
            That you have witnessed all the thousand and one other manifestations of corruption
            and
            low moral character
            and
            outright animalistic rudeness
            and
            contempt for you, the working American voter,
            and
            you still show up grinning and wearing your MAGA hats and threatening to beat up anybody who says otherwise.
            .
            What you don’t get, Trump supporters in 2018, is that succumbing to frustration and thinking of you as stupid may be wrong and unhelpful, but it’s also…hear me…charitable.

      If all you listen to is mainstream news, you won’t know this :

      Global warming is the biggest scam in history. It’s been proven that global warming doesn’t exist so politicians changed the name to “climate change” so they can keep pushing for unneeded regulations.

      The global warming scam is not about the environment. They don’t give a damn about the environment. It’s a job killing scam. It’s all about contriving an (environmental) excuse to increase regulation in order to shackle the successful and advance socialism and communism on both a national and international scale – transferring wealth from wealthier & capitalist nations to poorer and communist ones.

      It’s also about creating fake global catastrophes.
      The purpose of this is to take our focus off our individual choices and nations and turn it towards the globe.
      This is supposed to make you care less if the United States is destroyed – since it’s a world-wide GLOBAL warming.
      It’s supposed to make you care less if Israel disappears since It’s a world-wide GLOBAL warming.
      The hidden goal is to lead to a one world government with open borders.

      There were 2 major scams.
      The first one about a decade ago and the 2nd one is recent.

      The original scam was revealed when secret emails between the scientists were hacked and found to show attempts to change data and interpretations so they could get more government grants since it will look like they were doing something important.

      http://www.global-warming-and-the-climate.com/arguments-against-global-warming.htm

      The 2nd and current global warming scam is even more extensive with temperature data altered at the very research facilities themselves.

      1.
      a 35% Middle Class Tax Cut
      2.
      a 30% Middle Class Tax Cut
      3.
      a 10% across the board Tax Cut

      and he gave “US”:
      1/3 of the Middle Class actually get a tax increase
      from eliminated deductions,
      The rest of the Middle Class got a few hundred dollars…but only for a few years…since the AUTOMATICALLY END.
      .

      The TOP INCOME TIER get PERMANENT nearly 83% of the nearly $2 TRILLION) in Tax Cuts.
      …in addition to all those they got permanently during the Bush Admin.
      The REST of the cuts go permanently to the International Conglomerates….owned largely by the TOP 1%…
      .
      Remember Trump telling us that his tax plan would not benefit himself….??
      .

      Days after he signed the bill….
      He gave a VERY BRIEF SPEECH to his fellow Billionaires in Mar A Logo…..
      “You ALL just got a whole lot Richer “
      .

    Okay I just there is so many things you just got wrong 1. Ask any scientist if they believe in global warming they do believe in it and it has been proven 2. You are just too afraid to admit it’s not in China or South America it everywhere here and now 3. You know the science behind it’s called the green house effect when the sun beams down on the earth to provide energy to plants after that it reflects out to space but CO2, H2O (Water Vapor), and AO2 capture these particles and keep them in the earth adding more heat to the earth. 4. You just got lectured by a 6th grade that knows more than you, Damn.

If you keep them scared about something, they wont be paying attention to what the globalists are really doing: trying to tear down borders and cause anarchy aimed at taking over the world.

    Thanks for this list, i knew this was a hoax when I first heard of “climate change” when it was called “global warming” my last year in high school. It’s very simple to know that the biosphere absorbs carbon to keep a balance, so more carbon = more plants, duh. Turns out that this “climate change” lie is part of a taxation scheme to deny people access to resources and create a new “asset” known as “Renewable Energy Certificates” and bring people down under a “technocratic” system of worldwide oppression and poverty. Looks like it has failed, but people still are buying this climate change story, but I think more people are become aware that it’s a lie. Its mathematical premise was also just disproven by Lord Mockton.

      “biosphere absorbs carbon to keep a balance”
      So what happened since we are no longer in balance????????

      World Temps are up 1.19 C in just 125 yrs.
      Nat. Cycles average 1 C in 7500 years

      Rising Carbon Dioxide has warmed temps…so there is added plant growth in far northern and far southern latitudes.
      …not in farm fields.
      .
      …Droughts and Heat waves are doing their dirt to farm fields.
      ………and, as CO2 levels have increased…nutrient values of Staple Grains have FALLEN !
      .
      LESS PROTEIN
      LESS IRON
      LESS ZINC
      .
      ALL programs proposed, to date, to deal with the reality of climate change are to
      incentivize capitalism AND to add costs to CARBON USE….which have always been there but HUGE, HUGE, subsidies & tax breaks & free bees around the world given to COAL & OIL…. about 6.5% of the Gross Domestic Product is funneled into Fossil Fuel supports.

    This is a discussion on science, not English. The scientists that I know didnt minor in English. You may also find that many historians have horrible penmanship, what is your point? Is a deflection from the facts that make you feel better?

    If climate change is exactly as they predict. Then there is nothing we can do to stop it anyways. In which case we are just here for the ride.

      CLIMATE CHANGES are being CAUSED BY GLOBAL WARMING…which IS being caused by centuries of HUMAN Industries DUMPING TOXIC GASES AND CHEMICALS INTO OUR Atmosphere……

      So TELL ME … how the hell did you reach THAT conclusion.
      .
      We Caused ACID RAIN….and a Conservative President took action…the brown & dying forests and farm fields are now thriving !
      .
      We Caused OZONE DEPLETION and the OZONE HOLE….and a Conservative President took action….the skin cancer out breaks world wide have been cut dramatically….the hole is 20%+ reduced !
      .
      The Cuyahoga River was all but dead and barely moving down stream…children were making bets on weather rats could RUN across the dead river with out having to swim….until the river repeatedly caught fire…..

      GOOGLE Cuyahoga River !

      Congress TOOK action, working with state & country & industry…the Cuyahoga is fishable again.
      .
      Lake Erie was all but dean. Congress, the President, the states took action…fishing has returned to Lake Erie.
      ****
      and you conclude: “there is nothing we can do to stop it” ???

      How about,
      just for the god defiant hell of it,
      let’s stop pouring gasoline on the fire…just to start !

      ELIMINATE the use of COAL for electric generation…..it is only 38% of total energy in the USA….but it is disproportionately responsible the thousands of deaths in the US and more around the world.
      .
      “….”1. NEW Wind & Solar Are Cheaper (Without Subsidies) Than Dirty KILLER COAL Energy………..The first point is the very basic fact that new wind power and/or solar power plants are typically cheaper than new coal, natural gas, or nuclear power plants — even without any governmental support for solar or wind.

      Not only are they typically cheaper…but FAR CHEAPER in many instances….”

      Humans are Dumping More than 135 Times more CO2 into Earth’s Atmosphere than ALL of the Volcanoes, combined. Year after Year.
      .
      In 1970,
      NASA launched the IRIS satellite that measured infrared spectra between 400 cm-1 to 1600 cm-1.
      (Google IRIS SATELLITE)
      .
      In 1996,
      the Japanese Space Agency launched the IMG satellite which recorded similar observations.
      (Google IMG SATELLITE)
      .
      Both sets of data were compared to discern any changes in outgoing radiation over the 26 year period.
      (Google Harries 2001).
      .
      What they found was a drop in outgoing radiation at the wavelength bands that greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) absorb energy…Decreasing outgoing radiation as Green House Gases were increasing.

      The change in outgoing radiation is consistent with theoretical expectations.

      ******* Thus the paper found empirical “direct experimental evidence for a significant increase in the Earth’s greenhouse effect” and Earth Warming.

      This result has been repeated & confirmed by subsequent papers
      using more recent satellite data.
      The 1970 and 1997 spectra were compared with additional satellite data
      from the NASA AIRS satellite launched in 2003
      (Google Griggs 2004).

      This analysis was extended to 2006 using data from the AURA satellite launched in 2004
      (Google Chen 2007)
      (Googel Aura Satellite)

      Both papers found the observed differences in CO2 bands matching the PREDICTED changes from rising carbon dioxide levels.

      Thus we have ROCK SOLID empirical evidence that increased CO2 is causing an enhanced greenhouse effect.

      ** Thus these research studies & papers found “direct experimental evidence for a significant increase in the Earth’s greenhouse effect” and Global Warming.

      ( If Infra Red HEAT Energy, does not escape, it is retained in our Earth System,
      AS PREDICTED, as rising temperatures, warming rising seas, melting Ice, acidification of oceans. )

      These results has been confirmed by subsequent MANY Research papers using data from later satellites.

      When greenhouse gases absorb infrared radiation,
      the energy heats the atmosphere which in turn re-radiates
      infra red radiation in all directions.
      .
      Much of it makes its way back to the earth’s lower atmosphere.
      .
      Hence Science Predicts finding MORE infrared radiation heading downwards.

      Surface measurements from 1973 to 2008 find an INCREASING TREND of infra red radiation returning to earth. (as predicted)
