    The Climate Scare: Ever More Shrill, Ever Less Serious

    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

  • #2
    Nothing like an artificially manufactured crisis in order to rally the ignorant around a cause whose bottom line is a tax grab. Of the greenhouse gasses which comprise only 2% if the earth's atmosphere, only 3.62% are carbon dioxide, and of this, the man-made component is only 3.4%. Nothing to lose sleep over.

    In addition, sunspot activity has been historically linked to changes in the earth's temperature, where high activity corresponded to a warmer climate. We are now entering a period of low sunspot activity, similar to that of the "Little Ice Age" in the 1650s. If anything, we seem to be headed into a colder cycle. Wasting resources and money in an attempt to modify the earth's climate is an exercise in futility (especially since the main contributors of carbon emissions like China and India are not inclined to participate).

    The Lord has set up checks and balances so that the earth's climate alternates between highs and lows, and we have God's promise that our seasons will continue until the new heavens and earth are created (Gen. 8:22).

        Does he really think that 6th out of 40 is not also 6th out of 139 (there just aren't 139 years of satellite data)

        Did he really not notice that the mean line from which he gets ".25" degree is NOT relative to the mean for the late 1800's but rather the mean for the period 1979 to 2019?, which if the rising trend was only .25 for that entire period (which it is clearly NOT - it is greater) the same linear trend for 139 years would match up to a .87 degree C rise?

        My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1

        If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not  bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26

        This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

          The Lord has never failed to keep His promises and being both omniscient and omnipotent, all contingencies have been taken into consideration - including man's self destructive tendencies.

            Sure He can. The amilennial position is that things will figuratively go to hell in a handbasket, THEN He'll deliver on His promise.

Oh, I know, because his personal opinions coincide with your own ignorant personal opinion on Climate Change.

                You think you are like a character in a movie. Your lack of awareness shows that the religious mode of thinking is extremely harmful.

                And you are addicted to it.

                    Rolling Stone should stick to topics where it has a clue.

                      Pretty much. They're the party of crime, torture, war crimes, the overthrow of democratic governments, wars, and the destruction of humanity.

                        From the info cited it appears Global warming is on course.

                          CP's not interested in that, he's just trying to live up to his thread title of being ever more shrill and ever less serious. Don't feed the troll.

                              It's crassly provocative, intentionally misleading 'click-bait', nothing more and typical of you.
