Heard of a guy who believed that, and tried crack to demonstrate that he would not get addicted. He got addicted.

How gullible are you, and how gullible do you think I am, or anyone else?

They've been screaming for decades that 1.5C is the panic point, and 2.0C is right out. There's your tenths.

I have never liked the "mother may I" copyright system. What matters is that creators receive compensation, not that creators have total control. The control was supposed to be nothing more than a lever for authors to obtain payment.

But as usual, commercial interests have confused the issues to construe them to their advantage. Copyright is more powerful and controlling when it is their work, and less powerful when it is someone else's work.

They claim they can predict the global temperature in 75 years within a tenth of a degree. How much more accuracy do they need?

Answer: they don't, unless their models are so inaccurate that the claims of knowing the temperature 75 years from now are false.

They lie.

Cattle in Greenland is historical fact. I learned it in grade school and a simple google finds all the confirmation you need.

The 97% fallacy is also easy to verify.

You lie again.

Again: rebut my assertions and claims, or you are a fraud. If all you do is skirt the issue and claim to be right and I am wrong, without any evidence but the sound of your keyboard, you are a fraud.

Like, that's only 20% faster than you're going right now. Big deal. :)

Relative to what?

Watch the video. The guy is going around a banked corner at 400kph, and hits 500kph on a straightaway. Honestly, this thing is fucking terrifying, but based on what I could see from the video handling isn't an issue.

Explain where I have confused climate and weather. You didn't, and you won't, because you can't. You make arguments with nothing to back them up because you don't know what you are talking about, and because you don't want to risk anyone rebutting your claims.

That's also why you didn't rebut a single one of my claims. You don't believe your own claims. You are just another climate alarmist yelling at the clouds and wearing an onion on your belt.

Your faux-concern is so touching -- and fake, as you well know.

I'm glad you at least recognize you treat people as stereotypes instead of pondering what they say and responding as if you had actually read and understood what they say. You may eventually cease to be a stereotype yourself some day.

You're an idiot.

Of course *climate change* is real. It's been changing for 4.5 billion years.

What's not real is the fantasy that humans are changing climate so fast that we have already passed several tipping points on the way to Venus, that polar bears and penguins have gone extinct, that New York City has been drowned, that Arctic summer ice has vanished, that Mt Kilamanjaro has lost its peak snow, that snow has vanished from the Earth ... how many more failed predictions do you need to discern a pattern of lies?

CO2 was 6000 ppm 500 million or so years ago. It was 4000 ppm during parts of the dinosaur age. If it falls below 150 ppm or so, plants go extinct, and without plants, all animal life goes extinct. 280 ppm was the so-called baseline 150 years ago; how much closer to extinction do you want to get? It's 430 ppm now.

The global climate was warmer during the Medieval Warming Period, as attested to Greenland actually being green enough to raise cattle. It was warmer during the Roman Warm Period, and earlier eras, as attested by olive trees growing above the current tree line. Glaciers retreating up mountains now from warming have uncovered forests which grew for 300 years, 1000-1500 years ago, until they were knocked down, in situ, by growing glaciers.

I saw a map of the US Atlantic coast, showing claimed recent sea level rises. Coastal cities only a couple of hundred miles apart showed remarkably different sea level rises -- for the same ocean on the same coast. Oceans can't do that, but land can, meaning these were not sea level rises but different degrees of land subsidence.

The climate alarmists have made failed predictions and lied about so much for so long, that anyone who still puts any credence in them is a blithering idiot. People who have truth on their side don't need to invent so much fraudulent data and lie so thoroughly.

The claim that 97% of scientists agree that AGW is real is based on selective cherry picking of self-selected survey results. It also flies in the face of demanding trillions more dollars in research on global warming. If it's settled, why do they need trillions more dollars to study it? As the old saying goes, "If it's settled, it ain't science. If it's science, it ain't settled."

If you like being taxed to support bullshit artists, why not donate a little extra all on your own?

Yes, I wish more people would pay attention to what he said about them.

I don't think anything better illustrates the corruption of free money than the climate alarmists simultaneously wanting trillions more funding for science that is settled, which is an oxymoron to start with; if it's settled, it ain't science, and if it's science, it ain't settled. So shut up and give us your money. After a while, along with a few fiascos like Fauci, the public begins to notice they're being plucked.

The art of taxation consists in so plucking the goose as to obtain the largest amount of feathers with the least amount of hissing. -- Jean-Baptiste Colbert

One need not see very many current science papers to see how much nonsense is being peddled as science. Aside from the fakes, from both AI and paper mills, most of it contributes nothing to knowledge. Too much has the appearance of being "publish or perish" trivia that will never be referenced or even read beyond its title.

The problem is politicians who think the way to advance their careers is to shovel money at "science", and that scientific knowledge is measured in dollars and euros and yen and every other currency. Plenty of bureaucrats are ready, willing, and able to funnel it to their buddies, because the only way bureaucrats can measure their professional success is in bigger budgets, more underlings, and fresh regulations. After all, a bureaucracy which does not issue new regulations is declaring "mission accomplished" and its own obsolescence.
