Well, as far as i am concerned, when all the volcanoes are plugged, then we can begin to measure what effect man has on the climate.

Amen to that. That is a red-flag phrase, just like a financial advisor announcing that we now have a "completely new economy" and stock market crashes are a thing of the past. (They said that in 1929, too.)

Good article. Love the way he combines humor with facts. It is so nice to hear someone else drives people around them crazy, like many of my friends and I do. It is so hard to hear talking points from someone with no science background, and know everyone is waiting for your argument. I have gone to asking them to please put their talking points in their own words, which they never can, and that ends it. It is never about saving the planet, it is about control of people, and some sheep are already in the paddock.

yes.

Miami, FL. Have streets flooded at high tides for as long as the City has existed? If not, then it's not the ocean rising but the city sinking?

I imagine so. But at almost 70, living in a 100yr old house--both of us existing through more tornadoes, lightening strikes, and ice storms than I care to count, and a war--I've come to the realization that they're all reminders that I'm alive and looking forward to nature's next storm.

Less interference from gravity might be appreciated, too.

My article was 100 percent convincing. No ONE person commenting, here, any longer believes in Big Climate alarmism. I do thank everyone for elaborating upon, analyzing, and sometimes correcting my thinking. Great response.

The most cogent statement to me was that trying to predict long term future weather is not possible. The rest, to me, is just so much gobbledegook. Of course, we know that it is just another way to put more control over the populace by the state.

Thanks for the kind words, K. Now here's one thing we ought to settle right now. By what authority should anyone even try to find out whether human action can affect weather or climate in any way, shape or form? I happen to believe the globe has been warming, much more slowly than the alarmists claim, since the end of the Ice Age, or at least since the end of the Little Ice Age. And I don't think there's anything human beings can or should do about it.

As soon as the politicians get involved, you know its not going to be true. They always have an agenda to screw the average citizen. I am also getting older (who isn’t), and these cold winters need to change. Bring it on.

When I heard the phrase, "The science is settled" a few years ago, I knew it was a scam.

I thought you said " fatel." never mind

I had to look that word up.

nice to see you in here, Tem

The older I get the more I like it warmer. Bring on global warming, if that's to be the earth's fate!

I deny climate alarmism because it has a clear basis in fraud. "I've just completed Mike's Nature trick...to hide the decline." Smoking gun.

I also deny climate alarmism because those who scream the loudest, refuse to pay some of the price they demand I pay. Clearly they don't even believe it themselves. They just want to bring about a world in which they have all the privileges and I carry all the burdens.

And last of all, I deny climate alarmism because it simply has proved false. All the alarms they have raised, have proved false.

Having done some geology study in college (luckily before the global warming craze), I understand that the earth has been going through these periods of warming and cooling for millions of years. It's as stupid to worry about climate change as it is about plant and animal evolution (including species extinction). These are just part of living on planet Earth, and humans will either adapt to all these ineluctable changes or become extinct. The only things that all these futile efforts will bring about are increased wealth for liberals like Al Gore and increased tyranny from collectivist governments and international agencies

About 15-19,000 years ago, much of North America was covered in glaciers, some over a mile deep. It was very cold in North America. Then the the climate warmed and those glaciers melted. Was that a tragedy? Did the Earth need saving at that time? Was the warming created by natives burning coal to generate electricity? A little bit of thinking goes a long way. Well that eliminates most self-described "progressives".

I think the most notable part of the whole article was the exposition that the entire reason for the scare tactics is to enable a centralized government with control over every aspect of life with the purported purpose of combating the weather! It's one of the greatest bait-and-switch ploys ever!

A mean streak you say?
Only my hairdresser knows for sure.

well, we do. lol

I don't even get alarmed about storms.

I've listened to Rush warn of the dumbing down "educational" process since the 90s.
Me old dino is finally glad I'm 70 (-50=20) next March. Missed Big Brother's government youth camp education technique during my salad days..
Otherwise, I may have become a deadhead econazi on a mission to save the African triceratops.

The level of ignorance in the general population must be attributed to the "government youth camps" (public schools) which have been in business for at least the last 50 years. The dumbing down is effectively complete.
