Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.
Are you trying to get blocked?This is a legacy of that president of yours who refers to serial liars as cereal liars.
Being blocked for making factual statements?Are you trying to get blocked?
In Australia we had a conservative government for a decade which had a Harry Potter approach to cutting greenhouse emissions by doing nothing and the Paris targets would be comfortably met.Trump is but a minor blip in the failures of my government to address climate change going back to when Trump was a mere professional football owner destroying his own league with bad business ideas.
Exactly. But economics is taking over. Wind and solar with pumped hydro are cheaper than coal - and that's before counting coal's health costs (which double the price) let alone climate change.In Australia we had a conservative government for a decade which had a Harry Potter approach to cutting greenhouse emissions by doing nothing and the Paris targets would be comfortably met.
no ... I am reading the Word of God .... the days in Genesis uses the word YOM .... and YOM is always used to designate 1 day .... in the 10 God says to remember the Sabbath day pointing back to creation. It would be impossible to remember and keep the Sabbath day unlessPeople remember media hype, not the state of the actual science. Have you read a summary of climate science from the 1970's? The science was that the majority of papers predicted warming. Indeed, the warming power of CO2 was confirmed by Eunice Foote in 1856. Only 10% of papers in the 1970's predicted cooling, and of them, lead authors soon retracted their work. It was all a misunderstanding about how much the sulfur in coal reflected the sunlight away. It's still valid science, and we might use "Solar Radiation Management" by flying dust up 20km to reflect a tiny amount of sunlight to cool the earth. But the math was complex - and the lead author soon admitted he got it wrong. But the media went CRAZY with it - and did not reflect what the majority of papers were saying. So NO - climate science did NOT as a majority predict cooling in the 1970s! That's just factually incorrect.
What were climate scientists predicting in the 1970s?
Please get back to us that you now know this - as it is a matter of conscience now for you not to repeat this myth again now that you know it is not true.
Indeed, so many predicted warming that movies like Soylent Green showed global warming. The Bell Telephone company reflected the state of the science catastrophic warming way back in 1958!
They do really know. The physics of how CO2 traps heat can be proved in any decent physics lab - not that I'm a physicist but I've asked them and seen videos demonstrating how they do it and read the history of climate science.
Also, it's ALWAYS been climate science. The media term used for pop culture shifted from global warming to "climate change" shifted under the George W Bush administration when the speech writer was told to look for a less threatening term, because Dubbya had too many mates in the oil industry and couldn't upset them. So the term "climate change" became fashionable. But global warming is still as good as any lay person description. But the scientific papers are written within the realm of climate sciences.
Get it? There's the scientific academic terminology, and the popular press.
See - even the popular term "Ice Age" is wrong. It's a glacial period, and we're now in an interglacial period.
Technically, from a true climate science point of view, we're in an Ice Age now. Why? Because there's some ice on the planet! Scientific nomenclatures can be quite different from popular ones - and it has nothing to do with whether or not the scientific enterprise is some kind of scam!
Yes the climate has changed in the DEEP past - and the climate scientists mostly know why. Continental drift, asteroid impacts, volcanism, Milankovitch "wobbles" in the earth's orbit and rotation and tilt, and since the dinosaur era - the sun getting 2% warmer. ALL play an impact!
Climate is global temperatures as measured across decades. Weather is what happens today and tomorrow. Climate impacts the weather much like weighting dice - but is not direct control. Or imagine it this way. Weather is a toddler making waves in the bath - the weather is the waves in the water. Climate change is someone left the tap on. Soon that bath will overflow and maybe drown the toddler!
Someone left the tap on. We keep mining and burning fossil fuels and adding CO2 to the atmosphere. We can measure what CO2 does in a lab. Even Mythbusters have done this! Good luck to any conspiracy theories trying to lie about what CO2 does. This next test can be replicated in any physics lab on the planet!Do a little maths - and the CO2 is trapping 4 Hiroshima bombs worth of heat every second - but spread out across the entire planet. The basic physics of how CO2 traps heat is known.
Oh no! The world's governments are going to legislate we have to move to local renewable energy that our own nations produce - meaning we have more domestic control over our energy prices! Oh no! We won't be buying gas off the Russians and Middle East any more - people who don't like western democracies very much.
Oh no! The cheapest power we've ever produced in a MORE stable grid! Oh no! Filling up your electric car from solar panels on your roof = free motoring. How terrible!
I believe the bible and believe the Lord will return one day. But I'm Amil - and the theologians I read show a lot of that Anti-Christ language is actually to do with Rome and really ANY dictator that sets itself up against God's people in any age - from Ancient Rome to modern China and North Korea. Not one all-controlling figure - but many. Not a prediction about a future timetable - but a message about general themes and situations for all God's people across all ages. Otherwise we may as well cut Revelation out of our bibles until the last 7 years or whatever.
Yeah, nah. You didn't listen to the John Dickson podcasts or read his article. Nah. I'm not going to listen to someone who cannot recognise what type of literary genre Genesis is in the first place. You're reading a Shakespeare sonnet as an engineering manual. Stop it.
None of this has anything to do with global warming, sea surface temperatures, or "Physical & Life Sciences". Please stay on topic.no ...

sure there have been many anti-christs' .... the book of Revelation refers to a specific anti-christ that will appear .... will fornicate with All the kings of the earth and present himself as God (a apostate religious system) .... and also another power that will be an image to that power. Also states all the earth (including non christians) will follow this religious power (wondered after the beast)

There is no other religious entity that seeks to work with all of humanity (whole world) other than the papacy. The papacy seeks to "unite the world" .... and rule over it .... Rome never changes ..... they put forth "flowery words" and deceive many. It's a deception. They are on board with all the is involved with the New World Order agenda.
What has the Pope said about peace?
Only the peace that comes from a fraternal and disinterested love can help us overcome personal, societal and global crises. “Our greatest and yet most fragile treasure is our shared humanity as brothers and sisters, children of God. None of us can be saved alone.”Dec 16, 2022
1 Thessalonians 5:3
King James Version3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
The papacy promotes humanism
hu·man·ism
noun
an outlook or system of thought attaching prime importance to human rather than divine or supernatural matters. Humanist beliefs stress the potential value and goodness of human beings, emphasize common human needs, and seek solely rational ways of solving human problems.
a Renaissance cultural movement which turned away from medieval scholasticism and revived interest in ancient Greek and Roman thought.noun: Humanism
(among some contemporary writers) a system of thought criticized as being centered on the notion of the rational, autonomous self and ignoring the unintegrated and conditioned nature of the individual.Jesus said He did not come to unite ... but to divide ... nor to bring peace.
Luke 12:51 Jesus said, “Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three.” In Matthew 10:34 Jesus states, “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to earth.

I don't claim to be a scientist .... I believe what the Word of God says ..... and yes there will be adverse climate activity according to His Word .... but the final end (end of the earth) will be by Him .... no matter what mankind attempts to put in place.Message to all 1.3 billion Roman Catholics, you're not Christian for recognizing an anti-Christ as your spiritual leader.
(The index finger is feeling a bit itchy for hitting the report button......)
Didn't see the elephant in the room?
The figures are not that impressive since 2020 was a COVID year where economic growth and industrial production declined resulting in lower emissions.
Fast forward to 2021 and 2022 and America's emissions increased over 2020 levels as economic growth rebounded.
You must be one significant individual for using yourself as a barometer for scientific knowledge and understanding.
It doesn't work that way as scientists know far more than you do, its their profession.
Scientists drill ice cores in Greenland and Antarctica to depths were the snow was initially deposited millions of years ago.
Inside these ice cores are bubbles of trapped air from which CO₂ levels can be measured at the time when the deposition occurred.
If "God" is using increased CO2 to bring about the end of the world, then we mere humans have the power to stop that because it is *our* CO2 that is doing it. If this is not the case, then CO2-induced warming is *not* the divinely induced end of the world so your religion's end of the world dogmas are not related to the climate fight.I don't claim to be a scientist .... I believe what the Word of God says ..... and yes there will be adverse climate activity according to His Word .... but the final end (end of the earth) will be by Him .... no matter what mankind attempts to put in place.
Evolution is not relevant to climate science. Climate science is not a sub-branch of biology.Without God .... the only other "plausible" belief is evolution .... science has to hold to that no matter what .... so they theorize on dates and other things using models.
It's the sheer ages in climate science that troubles YECsIf "God" is using increased CO2 to bring about the end of the world, then we mere humans have the power to stop that because it is *our* CO2 that is doing it.

I really don't think so. (There is a thread about this somewhere around here...) The data needed to set up the historical changes tied to the current trend only covers the last hundred years or so. It's also the only data that is detailed enough to initialize a climate model.
But doesn't the deep climate history also illustrate the urgency? The dramatic changes that have occurred in the past? EG: That even though Milankovitch cycles triggered the ice ages, the outcome shows that CO2 trapped plunged us into a 40% deeper glacial period, and the CO2 released as the ice sheets retreated accounted for 40% of the warming?I really don't think so.

For the YEC/climate denial overlap seems to be entirely about using the anti-science tendencies of YEC to reject science that challenges their ideological position. Here's were the "evolution is fake/lie" business is used for "climate science is a lie" by the fossil fuel industry.

Recent, rapid ocean warming ahead of El Niño alarms scientists
This month, the global sea surface hit a new record high temperature. It has never warmed this much, this quickly.
Scientists don't fully understand why this has happened.
But they worry that, combined with other weather events, the world's temperature could reach a concerning new level by the end of next year.
