The planet is warming. Do you disagree?

Thanks for the link!

Science is a process. It's not the same as knowledge. You are describing knowledge, not science.

Sea levels have indeed risen, but some isolated spots have geological processes causing them to rise. Very few places have those processes working to make them rise.

Which islands were predicted to be inundated? Sea levels have risen largely as predicted, so it would be an incompetent scientist who couldn't calculate whether an island would be flooded. Or, do you have a dim memory of some tabloid headline?

https://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/sea-level/ What you are effectively saying is that sea level rise won't be a global issue in your lifetime. This is true. Sea level rise is only impacting low lying areas now. At a rate of an inch a decade, its more of a 2100 problem. So for those who care about themselves, and not future generations, you don't have to worry about it.

Voluntary masking is okay at this point. More important are vaccinations.

The planet is warming, yet you waste your time on sophistry to protect the oil companies from diminished profits. Sounds weird to me.

Trolling again. Oil company produce pollutants, and pay trolls to confuse people about the impact of their produce. Your flawed logic leads you down a path where anyone who teaches a child how to speak English is liable if that child grows up to be a killer.

Reminds me of the movie "Minority Report" where people are convicted for future crimes. Do you suggest impeaching Joe Biden now for what he will do next year?

Defending Ukraine and January 6 are issues many Americans care about. And Trump was correctly impeached twice. And indicted 4 times.

The concept of excess deaths seems lost on you.

So, oil companies are responsible for pollution, kind of like drug dealers are responsible for drug use. It's not an exact analogy, so don't get worked up over it. As for university compensation, do you really believe that grad students are overpaid? Meanwhile, the CEO of Exxon makes $35 million and his company makes a fortune from pollution. But you guys complain that grad students are profiting off climate change.

So, Biden is clean, but some relatives engaged in petty offenses. Does that merit impeachment? what's your point? Did you know that Hunter Biden collected $2 billion from the Saudis? Oh wait, that was Jared Kushner.

In your opinion, are these impeachable offenses?

Proof, please. No proof = lies.

This is free speech?

You have forgotten that rioting innthe US Capitol is a serious crime. Enrique Tarrio got 22 years in the slammer.

Nope. The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is higher than at any point in the existence of Homo Sapiens. So, we are going to see more severe climate that we have ever experienced. I am sure you have at least once complained that politicians only worry about the short term, and ignore the long term. You are doing the same. You cannot grasp the long term consequences of the warming, so as long as you are not flooded right now, you don't worry about the warming.

Nope. You have it backwards. Humans are changing nature by polluting the atmosphere - making nature nastier. Some people in the climate movement simply want to stop polluting. Is there some part of this you don't understand?

You are looking through the telescope the wrong way. Oil companies are making billions while polluting the atmosphere. Graduate students researching climate change make little or no money. The CEO of Exxon made $35 million in salary last year. A top professor might make $90K from their university, but little of the work is research. So, the side that sows doubt about climate change makes the big bucks.

Okay, I was a bit frustrated that your answer conveyed a lack of understanding of science. You questioned whether islands now being swamped are sinking,or covered by rising seas. Implicit in your comment is that you don't believe or understand that scientists can measure sea levels very accurately. I can address either, in detail. Do you deny that sea level rise is carefully measured?

Indeed there are places with significant tidal extremes. Global warming will increase this in the near future.

Yeah, you really don't understand any of this, do you?

I am installing a kilowatt of solar on my balcony. Thank you for your interest.
