John Stossel? You serious with this crap? I also don't think you get the irony of laying into movie stars when you just got done linking a piece by a movie star "journalist."
GW Predictions fall short
- Thread starter Vroom_C14
- Start date
Another duck and dodge.
How hard can it be for you to answer with a yes, no, or even a maybe on the subject - Einstein. We all figure you know because you have read everything that you agree with on climate change.
What we all want to know is have we reached it not how you define it.
I've already defined it. And the reason I haven't answered if we've hit the tipping point is because nobody knows for sure where it is. Nobody knows for sure what the exact consequences of CC will be. All we know for sure is that pumping billions of tons of carbon emissions into the atmosphere causes the earth surface to appreciably warm, a point your side keeps ignoring. Maybe you think that humans having the power to effect entire climates, temperatures, and weather systems is nothing to worry about, but the vast majority of experts disagree. I would prefer to error on the side of caution.
Actually water vapor is what drives the climate cycles. CO2 is a lagging effect. But since you've never examined both sides of the issue you aren't very knowledgeable.
Actually, the "tipping point" generally refers to the point where a future 2+ degree warming is locked in and feedbacks like melting permafrost and the collapse of the Amazon ecosystem start kicking in that will drive temps higher. We might have an opportunity to stabilize global temps at ~2 degrees C but it would require an extinction level event amongst the deniers. We're probably not at the climate tipping point yet but we passed the political tipping point years ago. We're not going to change.
We'll not see a return to "normal conditions" for....well...a really long time, if ever.
BTW, the Marshall Islands are becoming uninhabitable rather quickly. Thanks to our close relationship with them, anyone who wishes is guaranteed a spot in the US. 70,000 islanders will be heading our way soon.
First thing I thought of when you said "G W prediction falls short?"
This thread is a monument for why Donald Trump is even in the race.
Spoken by someone who doesn't even understand what the op article is about.
When and how huey? Dispute the article, point out the ones that have come true... you can't so you wont.
No, I just know the history of GW alarmists and their extremely poor predictions.
Hey hey hey my friend. It turns out the continents are drinking the oceans and that's why the seas are not rising. So if we can find a way to put the continents on an inclined treadmill and keep them nice and sweaty . . . problem solved!
You mean like this one?
Figure 4: IPCC SAR Scenario IS92a global surface temperature projection (blue) vs. observed surface temperature changes (average of NASA GISS, NOAA NCDC, and HadCRUT4; red) for 1990 through 2012.
Too be fair, only one of those observed temps is even almost on the line. Technically, they were wrong every year. I'm not sure that technicality will allow deniers to slip past St. Peter. I may be hanging out in Hell with a whole lot of Republicans. In fact that sounds a lot like what Hell would be.You mean like this one?

The sky is falling meme.
Ah yes, the Daily Caller, that paragon of scientific knowledge and accurate reporting.
Oh, you did that thing where you ignored the Nobel laureate in a different video in this same thread. Do ya see how that works? You Cherry-pick which pieces of information you will allow your diseased brain to digest. Just like the emotion-driven fanatics in your movement cherry-pick which data to exaggerate while ignoring other pieces of data which disprove their apocalyptic religion.
They are always the same. You can just jump to page 3 and join right in like a well used brownstar at an orgy.
Did you watch the video? Of did you do that thing where you investigate one side of an issue and declare yourself an expert on both sides of the issue?
