Lol...ya...I'm gonna take advise from a perpetual loser and ANTIFA terrorist...

If you had any brains at all, you would take advice from a genius. But you don't know what you don't know.

STUPID never does.

The Guardian says a study shows Greenland is losing 30 million tons of ice per hour. Sounds terrifying until you add scale.

If, for argument's sake, we accept the questionable headline rate, that works out to roughly 263 gigatons lost per year. But Greenland holds 2.8 million gigatons, meaning total loss would take over 10,000 years.

And the study itself adds important context. Much of its newly counted loss comes from glacier retreat in fjords where ice was already below the sea, so it does not raise sea levels in the way the headline implies.

This is how climate fear works:

Huge number. No denominator. No time scale. Just blind panic.

Where does it say "panic" at all in your tiny print quote WITH NO LINK? LMAO

I'm glad you are sharing this information. I mean even at the 30,000 foot level it looks like bullshit, but now we're getting a much closer look and it looks even more like bullshit. 

Most people have no idea where their food comes from.  One climate zealot I got into it with told me that the government should "stop subsidizing oil and gas production" (he had no idea what subsidization meant, he just heard this word somewhere) and that "oil and gas should be $500/barrel, then we would stop using oil so much".  To which I responded, Congratulations, you just killed off 90% of the people on this planet".  He had no clue what I was talking about, so I explained that planting, harvesting and trucking grain and food to distribution centers, and then converting that food to bread etc takes a tremendous amount of energy.  Almost all of which comes from petroleum.  I asked him if he had an electric combine in his pocket, and he had no idea what a combine is (the thing that harvests grain). 

These climate kooks are imbeciles.  They don't know how that bread ended up on their table.  They just know that we have to "stop using oil and gas".  Actions have consequences, and these climate donkeys have zero clue about the negative consequences of their actions.

Waste has always been a huge part of that agenda. I'm still amazed how this country let these lunatics take the wheel.

What I hate most about the climate cult is that when there is a cold day or week and skeptics say (often jokingly) that “global warming is a hoax,” alarmists will scold them, saying that “weather isn’t climate; don’t confuse long-term climate with short-term temperature fluctuations.”

But as soon as there is a heatwave or a hot day somewhere, all of a sudden the alarmists yell “See?! This is proof of climate change!! Ban fossil fuels now!”  

Weather isn’t climate, except for when it is convenient for their narrative.

Clowns. 🤡

^Doesn't understand the difference between routine fluctuations and SETTING NEW MODERN RECORDS and LONG TERM TRENDS.

When a trend which sets new modern records is 30+ years long, that is CLIMATE CHANGE.

And the thing is the reinforcement of a long term existing trend with new records set.

Prove that.

Sure. Post the science that you rely on for proof that climate change is a crisis and that we can do something meaningful about it and I'll show you that it doesn't say what you think it does.

Go on. I'm happy to demonstrate

It has always been wise to accept immigrants who perform menial jobs so citizens like you can progress up the ladder, dropout. 

But it seems you are jealous because your dropout status prevents you from escaping their competition. LMAO

Your ^fantasies don't make them "an answer." Duh

Menial jobs are fine for aliens. We just need to make sure they stay on visas. It'll be easy to kick their asses out of the country if they get unruly.

I'm glad you agree with me. There's proof that there are actions that can mitigate these large problems.

Does it not bother you that there is literally no evidence that humanity is in danger of extinction from the climate?

No serious person is saying there is. That's just another of your straw man arguments. But there will be a lot of serious changes, problems and misery in some areas.

Tons of people are saying there is.

Here's a summary of WHO"S take on it:

Scientific consensus and global health organizations formally recognize climate change as the single greatest threat to humanity. It acts as an existential crisis and "threat multiplier" that undermines global food security, exacerbates extreme weather, drives mass displacement, and severely damages public health. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]"

In fact many have suggested that climate change will lead to Extinction or something very close to it for humanity

If the word extinction is a slight exaggeration it's only a tiny one.

But the simple fact of the matter is well people frequently make statements like "The scientific consensus is...." They can't actually point to the science

And that's the problem here

Well that's simply not true. Most climate religious make the ol' doomsday claim.

If you want credibility, try being truthful.

A lot of the assertions are "playing in the grey"

For sure it's been outlined as a major threat, and also there have been errors made even by experts.   Dr. David Viner stated a few years ago that snow in England would soon become a "rare and exciting event" ... which was a rash statement that IMO spoke to his hubris.  Source

We can always solve problems we create on our own, which is why LA air is cleaner. But that doesn't get you off the hook with your climate bullshit - it's still a hoax.

Quote

Attributing single events: On forums like Reddit, users debate whether the phrase "weather is not climate" remains valid. While attributing a single hurricane or heat wave to climate change is complex, the increased frequency and intensity of these extreme events are clear indicators of long-term climate shifts.

Have you been "decimated"? I have NOT.

I bought a hybrid to save money on gas and mitigate GW.

Got a great deal because gas prices were very low at the time. 💡
