So provide the research. 

We both know you're reading this. You'll pretend that you're not because you can't provide any science that actually backs up your claims..  Which means you probably haven't read any, you're just repeating what other people told you without verifying like a good drone. 

but you'll claim that others are 'denying the science' that you yourself have never seen.

https://www.britannica.com/science/global-warming

One of the most detailed climate articles I've ever seen and the best it can conclude is,

"since preindustrial times, and most of the warming over the second half of the 20th century could be attributed to human activities."

None of this or any real scientific report claim we have a crisis on our hands. No, instead there's yet another "could".

The frustrating thing is, many of us who find the government actions for The Boogeyman, are perfectly willing to have government funded research into a realistic replacement for oil and gas, but the climate religious just freak right out and refuse to make any concessions. Then we get mad and you get rather abrupt leadership in return.

Well ok, but an encyclopedia entry is not authoritative when it comes to providing the complete evidence of climate change caused by humans.

Furthermore, you're nitpicking one word in that article and trying to work backwards to say that we can include there's not enough evidence. I would say look at summaries of the scientific papers, how often they're cited by other papers etc.

There is enough evidence, though ,and as I mentioned, there are no other factors that add up to causing climate change on the level that it's happened other than human produced CO2

See what I mean? You have no intention of pursuing a compromise...and in another thread you'll bemoan the culture wars.

Then.  Post. Something.  Authoritative.

ANY actual research that says it's a crisis.  Any science. 

"I REFUSE TO POST SCIENCE BUT DEMAND YOU BELIEVE THESE NON SCIENCE SOURCES"

ok - here's a non science source that says you're wrong. 

"THAT'S NOT SCIENCE, I ONLY BELIEVE SCIENCE SOURCES"

Sigh. @Nationalist, you have the patience of a saint.

Lol...ya well...I suspect Mike knows I'm right. I'm perfectly willing to concede that 8 billion people, can generate warmth. Just look at Toronto. Buffalo gets snow and rain...Barrie gets it...Toronto doesn't. Toronto has a "heat sheild". We did that.

But noooo...

No cost will satisfy these greenies. Yet they're so enthralled that they dint realize Orangemanbad is the result of their own childishness.

Ya gits wut ya pays fer.

They think 'orangemanbad', and then are set to elect a guy who's a rich international banker and who gave musk 250 million to buy twitter and who gave Jarad Kushner hundreds of millions to help him bail out his country by moving his offices to the states and leasing his building. 

It's the final proof there must be a god because there's no way THAT level of stupid could happen accidentally.

Yeah but he's winning at the moment.  SO he may be a thief and a goof and a liar but hes' an effective one. 

We'll see. Still 4 weeks left and that's a long time in poiltics. I just have a tough time believing quebecers want someone who's already insulted them that badly and that leftist want someone who's the very example of a rich person they wanted to eat just last year.

No on interpretations and response.

We haven't talked about response.  So how can you say I'm not interested in negotiating or compromising?

 

And I don't think interpretation should be subject to negotiation.  Facts point to a conclusion, what would be the role of negotiation in that exchange?

 

"The thermometer shows it's -20.  I interpret that to mean that I would feel cold if I went out"

"Let's compromise on this"

?

Do you or do you not agree with the measures taken in the name of climate control?

Interpretation is ALWAYS open to further discussion.  Facts DO NOT point to the same conclusions for everyone, and in fact the most common interpretation of the facts in science have very often proven to be wrong later. Newton was WAY off base but we believed his stuff for years. 

So it is 100 percent reasonable that two people would say "I interpret it this way" and another would say "i interpret it that way" and for those parties to discuss and debate and 'negotiate' on what they both can agree on and what actions would be wise to take that make sense in both scenarios. 

It displays your complete lack of understanding of science that you think that somehow a conclusion is absolute

Say what? His stuff still forms the foundation upon which modern physics is built.  Theories like relativity and quantum mechanics have only refined the laws of motion that he developed and they're still routinely used by engineers and physicists in everyday applications.

I don't see technophiles tearing his statues down. Do you?

A display we'll probably be treated to as you spend the next several posts filled with insults, emojis and sure kids trying to show your dismissal of Newton is absolutely conclusive.

No, it does not. Some of it is still interesting and works kind of at low speeds.  He just did not know all the variables. 

Most of his work was shown to be horribly flawed by the time we got to general relativity. But it's still amazing what he did with what he had.

No, they were completely rewritten.  Sorry. His formulas were wrong. They made assumptions about speed in motion that unfortunately we're untrue, but of course he had no way of knowing that at the time.

Why would they? He was an amazing pioneer who advanced the science in his day. His works have been replaced but he did amazing things.  Columbus doesnt' stop being the guy who 'discovered' america just because america is different today. His work inspired others to continue to search and to experiment and test and even tho he was found to be wrong in the end he still advanced science tremendously.  But he was wrong.  Mind you you can still use some of his equasions in specific circumstances and get a more or less correct answer. He was on the right track at least :)

LOL i love how you're already trying to excuse the fact you're wrong  and blame it on me. :)  Here's an emoji for you :P 

Have you ever thought looking up the truth of things before you go posting on the internet and looking like a drunken grade school drop out?

Still highly accurate actually.

 Uhhh yeah i did. 

You clearly did not which is why you didn't provide a cite. 

I would imagine now you'll try to play some word game and claim his work was actually just 'incomplete'.  Incomplete is wrong. 

Sigh.  trust you to double down on the stupid

If you've ever driven across a bridge or flown in an airplane you've put your life in the hands of Newtonian physics.

I already told you his work was improved on by modern theories. Trust you to miss that.

Show us the facts that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt there is a climate crisis. Only then could there not be any negotiation.

Until then I'll be cleaning up after the ice downed 40 branches on my driveway.
