    Its about FUD. From the Rockefeller foundation, the UN, the governments of the west, who all want in on this new bandwagon.

    Your appeal to authority only impresses those that have already bought into your ideology.

    The sky is blue. The brown you are talking about is invisible and has no demonstrated any harm so far. But you and your "specialists" assure us we are doomed.
    I know another body of people who assure us we are doomed, and they have a big report out called The Bible, its true, because all the Bible experts say its true.

    The UN and associated governments have been outspending 10 to 1 any moneys put forth by those "big oil" companies, in propaganda in the last few decades.

    Not to mention the big oil companies have been funding both sides.

    I know we are leading up to COP 21 in Paris and they feel there is a need to spread the propaganda thick, but this is getting ridiculous.

    Contrary to what the media is spreading, Exxon and other oil companies have been funding both sides fro decades.
    i.e. http://news.stanford.edu/news/...

    Rockefeller has been behind this push and drive on climate alarmism from the get go. Funding research and organisations like 350.org.

    Those that believe the fallacy that big oil is all alone and behind only the "denier war machine" are keeping their heads in the sand.

    Besides, the governements of the west outspend the supposed denial money by 10 to 1.

    Finally, someone who can reason.

    For some reason, when it comes to climate change, people have blinders.

  17. I cant believe you got moded up for this.

    Citibank has a stake in this. They will make loads of money of carbon trading and loans on all the "ACTION" projects.

    Doing nothing does not "stimulate" the economy, thus no money for the banks.

    I am baffled by the usual "Dont trust the media and the banks" except when they talk about "Climate change". Than you can trust them without question.

    Its hiding under the surface right? Thats your reasoning?

    It is pretty complex and chaotic, but why do you have to believe in the most catastrophic scenario?

  20. Re:3mm is the key on NASA Scientists Paint Stark Picture of Accelerating Sea Level Rise · · Score: 1

    That line is pretty close to linear, especialy if you consider the error bars for the first 50-75 years.

    A sea level rise of 3 inches for 23 years is not abnormal.

    3mm/yr sea level rise is pretty much what we've been seeing since the end of the little ice age.

    At this rate we will see about 1foot rise per century, which is absolutely NOTHING to worry about and just natural variation considering we are comming out of an ice age.

    If it hasnt been a catastrophic problem in the past, why would it be for the next 100 years?

    The EXPERTS are showing non catastrophic data and trying to convince you that it is catastrophic.

    Finaly, the first 15 years of this century has seen about 45mm of sea level rise. To reach 3 feet it would require 3 times that rise per year and NOTHING indicates this will happen.

    False premise is the the base of your post.

    CO2 is life. C is life.

    Calling it pollution is a political stance, ushered in by those that created this system, a system designed to be gamed from its inception.

    The fact that y our ideology lets you gobble up these lies, is irrelevant to the truth, that it has nothing to do with the environement.

    If I call you an idiot because I believe you to be an idiot, that is still name calling. "Rightly" doesn't factor into this.

    You are acting religious, as you believe in something without foundation, only because others have told you to believe it.

    Strawman argument is exactly what you did, you made an argument, projected it onto me and than used it to try and take me down. The fact that you don't realize how weak your arguments are, shows you have no good arguments and/or your arguments come from a place of emotion.

    You presume to be an intelligent person, but you follow and parrot what others say like a sheep. Because it fits your ideology, because you believe you are righteous.
    Which makes you the religious believer not I.
