I notice a lot of avoidance in your responses to questions put to your comments, Jack.
Why is that?
In my view, mankind can and does impact our climate; however, I also believe that there are many additional factors/forces that affect our perception of climate which have a much greater actual impact on the Earth's climate.
Do you understand the concept of climate 'tipping points'?
Apparently not.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tipping_point_(climatology)
It's mankind's addition to climate pressures that is hastening tipping point events as opposed to a system functioning with out mankind's destructive activities , reacting to natural influences.
You should read this:

And political insults have nothing to do with the current conversation nor will they get you any points. The topic is of a scientific nature. And I get the feeling you'd like to make it political by introducing arbitrary commentary that's non scientific in nature. Essentially trolling.
It's not exactly new to this topic
Like the made-up BS you posted here:
https://forums.techguy.org/threads/global-warming-climate-change.1219967/page-2#post-9564486
Or your above over-simplification:
Man-made Global Warming - Mostly BS
with out any scientific explanation to back up that out-burst.
Saying it doesn't make it so. Demonstrating there is evidence would, but you don't.
the nuances of my perception on Climate Change
It appears your political support of Trumptonian logic is all you have to offer.
You say 'it's so' and in your mind that appears to be enough to 'make it so'.
That appears to be the Trumptonian version of Lysenko's fallacy.
Do you realize that you are perfectly acting out my complaint/concern with media involvement?
I realize you are desperately trying to steer the conversation away from the science involved in global warming/climate change
Does it really matter that we disagree on the questionable science?
You haven't posted any commentary of a scientific nature.
Just wild claims of denial.
Why not put aside the continued insults, name calling, and belittlement of opinion when we are in agreement that everyone needs to take better care of the only planet there is to live on?
I suggest you review this thread.
You are only getting whiny as your lack of constructive participation becomes obvious.
If people would allow the common sense discussion to occur,....
Like your first post in this thread?
Here are some of the reasons that I have heard based upon varying levels thought processes:
Climate Change (scoff) just a new name for Global Warming. Couldn't get the people to buy into Global Warming so they changed the name (HA!).
Climate Change has been occurring throughout the history of the earth, why should I suddenly think that man has the ability to change the course of nature.
Don't worry. The next big volcano to go off will decrease the global temperature for a couple of years.
So let me get this straight, too hot - Climate Change, too dry - Climate Change, too wet - Climate Change, too clod - Climate Change, drought - Climate Change, flooding - Climate Change, blizzard - Climate Change. Us normal folk call that weather.
Egypt used to be lush with greenery and covered in foliage. So, what did the Egyptians do to cause the Climate Change that turned their land into a desert.
We know that the earth used to be much warmer in prehistoric times. So, what did the dinosaurs do to fix their Global Warming problem.
The hockey-stick graph was proven to be a lie, based upon faulty math.
Climate change supporting (scientists and organizations) have been caught lying (via compromised e-mails) about the information contained within published Climate Change reports.
Short of a nuclear war; solar flares, solar winds, the earth's elliptical orbit, the tilt of the earth, shifting plate tectonics, and the path of the jet-stream all have a significantly greater impact on Climate Change than anything man could do.
If Climate Change is really that big of a problem, why pick on the United States to make small reductions, when other countries produce significantly more greenhouse gasses? China being subject number one.
Liberal politicians keep getting caught in lies used to support Climate Change. Normally followed by an Al Gore - fish swimming in the street - comment.
Yep, weren't we all supposed to be dead already from this whole Global Warming thingy?
Ummm, in the 70's /early 80's, the news told us to worry about Global Cooling.
Considering the history of the planet there is little to no empirical data to prove the Global Warming theories.
If the weatherman cannot accurately predict the weather/temperature next year, next month, next week, tomorrow, even today (sometimes); then how can they predict the weather/temperature 10 years from now?
I am sure that there are more; but, I am tired of typing.
You really think that was an intellectual attempt at a discussion?
Like a member in the distant past, all you seem to offer is trolling.
Sure it's fun, at least till you get called out for it LOL!
Why not put aside the continued insults, name calling, and belittlement of opinion when we....
What insults, name calling and belittlement are you referring to other than noting your constant whine when things go typically wrong for you? (
)
So, let's look at your sincerity.
Man-made Global Warming - Mostly BS
And then follow up a few sentences later with:
If people would allow the common sense discussion to occur, realistic solutions could be found and the realistic objectives of both viewpoints would most likely be met.
LOL!
I'm sure others see the contradiction
You did finally respond to Tim's question . (
" Man-made Global Warming - Mostly BS "
But I suspect you aren't going to respond to mine.
