You point to cherry-picked, incomplete and manipulated data rather than complete and unaltered observations, and demand that others believe lies. You are an intelligent woman...why won't you look at the real data rather than hide from it?

I feel no need to raise plants and verify that genetics work.<br /><br />So it is here. There are curmudgeons who don't believe in evolution, genetics, or astronomy. If the vast weight of climate science says that the glove is warming because of a doubling of atmospheric carbon dioxide or that the increase in atmospheric CO2 is causing a slow acidification of the oceans, I see no reason to doubt that. <br /><br />You guys on the Right seem to think that science has a political slant. In that, you are firmly in the camp of Donald Trump, Josef Stalin and some former Austrian corporal of minor historical note.Comrade Misfithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15404477636451308763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-91698410818367124432021-11-04T16:58:34.049-04:002021-11-04T16:58:34.049-04:00Still getting your data from the headline.....you ...Still getting your data from the headline.....you aren't bothering to look at actual numbers, are you? <br />Sea Ice is up, and has been over the last 20 years. It was down in the 80's and early 90's, but not that much nor at record (if you look at 100 year data, not 30 years data to "hide the decline") lows.... It has been much worse, over time...even before we as a species began burning great amounts of fossil fuels. <br />Iceland and Greenland have been both lower and higher in ice coverage in the past few hundred years. Again, look at the data, not the skeery headlines. <br />Data, not fearmongering. Seriously.<br />Folks are getting rich telling you how bad it is, but the temp data has to be "adjusted" every year...and always upwards. if you look at raw data, there is no discernable warming...only after the "adjustments" are made. <br /><br />Try using Goggle to look for sources that don't agree with what they told you to think. You might be surprised to find that they have been lying to you....if you can be bothered to look. You decry those who are swallowed by religion and just believe and follow what the preachers tell them, yet you fall into the same trap on "Climate Change". You believe without skepticism. Even worse, you still drive cars and heat your homes with fossil fuels and use coal powered electricity. If you really Believed you'd live differently and so would those who tell you how bad it is...but they don't and you don't. <br /><br />B https://www.blogger.com/profile/10586046436233366155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-75672000824486297442021-11-04T15:27:58.305-04:002021-11-04T15:27:58.305-04:00The fact that CRT isn't taught in public schoo...

The people that are squawking about it probably have no idea what's in the course. They go into denial that there could have been anything in America's past that doesn't support American Exceptionalism. Intellectual curiosity is not their strong point. They have already rejected critical thinking.dan gerenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02365785263885600301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-17170190747061961342021-11-04T09:34:29.957-04:002021-11-04T09:34:29.957-04:00Comrade Misfit: How about on the Virginia Departm...Comrade Misfit: How about on the Virginia Department of Education page for starters: <br /><br />http://www.virginiaisforlearners.virginia.gov/anti-racism-in-education/Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08146728790019377401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-18196157767210464692021-11-04T08:31:37.832-04:002021-11-04T08:31:37.832-04:00I say again: Show me where CRT is being taught in ...I say again: Show me where CRT is being taught in Virginia.<br /><br />I understand the argument of the Indians and the Chinese, that they had little in the making of the causes of climate change.

Sinema had other reasons, but the way she has been treated has not proved persuasive, has it?<br /><br />CRT is promoted on the VA DoE website. Search for it; I'm reluctant to post links here.<br />Christopher Rufo has posted screenshots on Twitter. It definitely influences the teaching, and parents are seeing what is being taught via remote learning.<br /><br />Climate- I'm not sure blaming conservatives and capitalists works. EVERYONE burns fossil fuels. You even mention the biggest emitter. And if the USA cut emissions in half tomorrow, it wouldn't do much worldwide.<br />I've said it before here- whether climate change is believed or not, the world will extract every bit of fossil fuel it can access. What should be a no-brainer is to recognize the supply is finite, and we need to make it last as long as possible. A side effect would be reducing the rate of CO2 and hydrocarbon emissions.0_0https://www.blogger.com/profile/00086088624785365469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-61950114885640888472021-11-03T19:20:27.944-04:002021-11-03T19:20:27.944-04:00B, bullshit.

The Arctic ocean ice cap is melting to the point that ships can transit the Arctic. That’s beyond dispute. The seas are slowly acidifying.

It is not a matter of how much energy is consumed/wasted, but of the geopoliticization of energy. As such, it goes back to Winston Churchill's decision, in 1911, to convert the British Navy from coal to oil. Britain had had autarky in coal, but oil could only be got from the Middle East. Everything flows from that.Frank Wilhoithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800594066476167549noreply@blogger.com
