    this chart could exist if humans were causing global cooling. Empiricism is a tricky bitch.

    That is true. But his claim was that the sea level is not rising. That is false. Causation is obviously more tricky, but what he said is empirically false.

    You keep saying this and you are still wrong. One has to be willfully stupid to say such things.

    You are an embarrassment of a moderator. The fact that you moderate a board in the name of UF is just sad.

    But sea levels have risen and fallen over the life of the Earth. Oklahoma at one time was under water.
    highest sea levels in history - Google Search


    According to current scientific understanding, the highest sea levels in recorded history occurred around 125,000 years ago during the last interglacial period, when sea levels were estimated to be between 6 and 9 meters (20 to 30 feet) higher than today, primarily due to melting Antarctic ice caused by a warmer climate.

    It was probably underwater 125,000 years ago?

    Okay. But first, we have to address this from the standpoint of empirical reality. Are the sea levels currently rising?

    Large parts of humanity across the world believes in a a great flood, the cyclical nature of life, and God’s plans. I don’t think modern science alone will be able to convince anyone in a meaningful way. Perhaps an enlightened soul is required to explain the convergence of science and religion on this topic in a spiritual way.

    …then demonstrate its inaccuracy. I mean, even petroleum companies acknowledge anthropogenic climate change.

    Oklahoma was under water when we lacked polar ice caps entirely and had a different continental configuration.

    Climate change isn’t unique to people. This is obvious. The climate change we’re experiencing, at this time, is attributed to human activity. There is no other reasonable explanation.

    it means nothing for 2 reasons
    1)even if I accepted this BS(which I do not) - as long as China and India are not involved in cutting back their emissions then any plan has zero chance of ANY success and why pour trillions of dollars into something that has ZERO chance of succeeding
    2) the scientists putting out of the GW BS have a vested interest in saying it is true as that is how they get their funding

    What is it we call someone who willfully ignores scientific data based on it not meeting their preconceived opinion? The huge irony/stupidity comes when poster claims he can ignore data because( with zero evidence) those scientists must be wrong because of vested interest. OMG . Poster asked for any prognostications from GW that came true--- was given two---- ignored ?

    1) China is leading the world in renewables, producing 43% of global output.
    . India is just behind China and the United States and rapidly gaining on the latter.

    2) Your continue insistence on corrupt intent is an ad hominem. Attack the topic. Further, and I’ll keep stating this even if it’s ignored in fits of cognitive dissonance, but it’s not just research institutions doing climate research and engineering solutions. Oil companies are doing it, against their vested interests. Governments are doing it. Heck, small engineering firms are doing it.

    I noticed you didn't point out a single error in the data. Would you like to try again?

    Look at Oklahoma's post above. Its an example of a GW issue that we identified and are solving.

    Since we are apparently very concerned about possible biases, the “scientists” who called it a hoax in the first placed worked for the petroleum Industry and had a vested interest in calling it a hoax. The funny thing is even the perpetuators of that “it’s a hoax” lie have mostly pivoted away from that argument. It’s mostly just crackpots and online fools who would even use that language anymore.

    Some links you won’t read.

    Yes, we all know this. Now what should we do about the man-caused global warming we are currently experiencing?

    Climate change used to be called summer, winter, spring, and fall.
