Nobody would agree with that claim. Heat requires a source of energy. The ocean is basically just a body of H2O. It does not produce energy and therefore does not produce heat. It absorbs radiation from the sun which heats the ocean and releases it into the atmosphere or earth. The main source of heat is the solar radiation mainly from the sun and some from radiation from space. But that has nothing at all to do with the article I posted which shows the NOAA fudges the statistics on temperature change. We are the cause, the ocean is storing 90% of the heat, not the atmosphere. Edited August 28, 2023 by Aristides Quote

Or was that just a theory? not surprising that you bring up an example from when modern science was in its infancy. Those who disagreed were branded heretics by the church. The way forward was with better science The only way to improve on science is with more science. Quote

We are past the point where we ever had a choice. If you have not noticed yet, most Canadians have already made that choice.. and it is not with climate change if it is going to cost any great amount...Thats across all political spectrums... How do you know we have past the point where we don't have a choice ? your going to find scientists with a wide range of times, there is no one consensus in which all of them say within the next 100 years, or 1000, 10,000 years... Quote We, the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have now done so much for so long with so little, we are now capable of doing anything with nothing.

Unfortunately some of what is called science is not really science at all. The theory of evolution, which has been debunked by some scientists, is still believed by many people as fact and is taught in schools as scientific fact. There is nothing further from the truth. Evolution has been exposed as a fraud. There are no transitional fossils to show the transition between different species. The claim that humans evolved from the slime in a pond or even from apes or monkeys has been shown to be false. So more science is not necessarily going to bring mankind the truth. There are some things that science simply can not explain or prove. One of them is the theory of evolution and the other is the so-called man-made climate change. They cannot be proven. It is all speculation. Everyone who claims man-made climate change is a fact are no different than the people that claim evolution is a fact. They are believing that purely on speculation, not scientific fact. It is a cult or religion to them. Edited August 28, 2023 by blackbird Quote

blackbird Posted August 28, 2023 Report Posted August 28, 2023 Just now, TreeBeard said: Do you believe the universe is billions of years old? If you’re getting your biology education from the bible, do you believe that bats are birds, as the bible says? The Bible states that God created everything in six literal days. That is the only interpretation that makes sense. If you want to try to compare the Bible to what the majority of scientists say, you are making a fatal mistake because most of them do not believe the Bible. Yet they have no rational explanation for where the universe and life came from. But yet you want to take them as absolute truth? Why would you do that. As I said, they do not have the answers about some things. You either believe in a God that revealed himself to mankind in the creation and written revelation or you don't. Bats fly around like birds, so it is understandable why some people thousands of years ago would give them the term birds which could have been applied to anything that flies. Quote

Exactly! It makes total sense for ignorant people to think that bats are birds. But I thought it was the word of God…. How did he get it wrong? If the bible is wrong about bats, why couldn’t it be wrong about other things? Edited August 28, 2023 by TreeBeard Quote

Man should be responsible how he develops and uses natural resources. There is nothing anywhere that says fossil fuels are bad and should not be used. That is what environmental radical say. I assume you are now against fossil fuels. You have not made yourself clear. There is no proof the use of fossil fuels is destroying the environment. Quote
