The thing we need to focus on is plastic in the oceans. That’s a real problem. But this global warming bullshit is some of the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard. It’s not something humanity can do anything about. Besides, we’re in the coldest 5% of the temperature on earth since it’s origin. We might even be affected by super suns from other solar systems without even knowing about it, so to think us tiny little humans on a tiny little planet are godlike creatures who are so important in the big picture of things is incredibly naive. It’s typical human behaviour though – Make the image of some sort of god to resemble man, and then think man is godlike.
Well I’m not going to play a part in turning backinamo.com in to a site for debating conspiracy theories. Suffice to say the level of evidence and international scientific consensus on man-made climate change is overwhelming and comes from bodies of research with highly diverse political, economic and national backgrounds which do not share vested interests. As I say, I’ll leave the topic there, I just mention because I used to be sceptical on man-made climate change until I really looked at all the huge range of research and evidence and found the conclusion is simply undeniable.
What evidence? You’re aware that the “consensus” was a fabrication by both the main sources behind the saying “97% of climate scientists agree”?
Here, let me explain: There was an Illinois professor (think the name was Peter Doran or something) and his assistant or student (Think the name was Maggie Zimmersomething), who ran a “study”. Their “study” consisted of a form with 2 questions:
A: Are you a climate scientist
B: Do you believe climate change is man made
They sent these 2 questions to over 10,000 experts listed on the latest update of some climate science expert list, and got got ~3400 replies. Out of these 3400 or so replies, they chose to use the results from only 79 respondents, and 77 of their chosen said they believed it was man made. They then said it was a huge consensus based on the answers of 77 out of over 10,000 experts.
Then there’s John Cook’s Cook et al, a complete and utter nonsense fabrication of conclusions based on a bunch of other people’s studies, where everyone’s studies used denied that his conclusion was even remotely close to what they had found out, and said he was fetching at straws all through his conclusion to get the result he wanted.
Obama then made a tweet about this a few years ago, and that’s where the “97% of climate scientists agree” comes from.
And even here, the 97% might agree that climate is changing, although 100% should do that, cus it has since the dawn of the planet almost 5 billion years ago, and it’s never gonna stop, but there is absolutely no consensus on climate change being man made.
Oh, and there were only 6000 polar bears when Al Gore was born. Now there are only 30,000 left. Think about that.
