@augustus speaking of #Japan `s #typhoon meteorologists now forecast that Mother Nature is lethally next set to devastate the entire U.S. East Coast anywhere from Savannah, #Georgia to #Richmond #Virgina and beyond! This is very close to the world's largest Naval Base. Meanwhile reality deniers like Trump merrily tore up the Paris #climate #agreement

@ozer you're gonna want to unfollow me ozer, i am extremely pro-Trump and do not believe in anthropogenic global warming. typhoons and other weather phenomena existed long before the industrial revolution, they will continue long after. even if AGW was true, these intergovernmental climate deals are just a circlejerk to control the economy and increase taxes. here is a list of other "reality deniers" as you like to call them: https://shitposter.club/url/2361989

@augustus Augustus if #climatechange is all "one big corporate hoax" as your #toot inherently implied, how do you/we/humanity account for the NASA verified and certified data that has been captured by scientifically-precise
earth-orbiting satellites and other tech advances. Augustus are you point blank denying the very heat-trapping nature of carbon dioxide (C02) and other gases ? An inevitable, inescapable heat which we witnessed at the dawn of what you termed the "industrial revolution" (i.e. middle of the 19th century). Do you put forward a blind blanket dismissal on the increase of greenhouse gases causing the Earth to warm as attested by NASA/other bodies ? Let us be realistic and practical. Entire samples of Ice cores drawn from #Greenland #Antarctica and tropical mountain glaciers show that the #Earth ’s #climate responds to alterations in toxic greenhouse gas levels. Scientific testimony demonstrates this to us in ocean sediments, tree rings, coral reefs, and layers of sedimentary rocks. Globally eminent climatologists are reminding us, time and again, that if by 2030 we do not reduce the global climate by 2 degrees celsius we are in for a rude awakening. Why are entire cities reducing their carbon footprint ? Augustus logically all this can`t be reduced to a corporate mafia conspiracy here is why - remember the il and gas and automotive industry stand most to lose from these bitter realities. Paleoclimatologists testify that current #globalwarming is mathematically occurring 10 times faster than the average rate of ice-age-recovery warming. In light of all the above and so much more evidence (melting of the glaciers, warming of the oceans etc) are you dismissing all this data as "weather channel fake news" ? I know we live in a "post-truth" world but common Augustus...... ?

@ozer it's one big government hoax, not a corporate one. NASA and NOAA are the agencies pushing AGW and they are bureaucracies controlled by the american government. there is plenty of independent evaluation of the datasets they use and people have shown them manipulating them to make the past ever cooler in order to create a warming trend in the present. CO2 is 0.04% of the atmosphere, it has been magnitudes higher % than this in the past, eras like the eocene had high CO2 levels and the earth never experienced positive warming feedback back then. ultimately my position just comes down to not trusting the sources of authority. science may seem settled and convincing to you, but the table can be tilted in any number of hidden ways and governments have billions of dollars to spend distorting the market for truth by pushing out the more critical scientists (william grey for instance had his funding cut off for questioning global warming) and funding the ones who tell them what they want.

@augustus
Exactly, what evidence would convince you anthropogenic climate change is a thing?
@ozer

@arteteco @ozer 1) separation of government and science
2) same results observed

@augustus @arteteco @ozer but where should the funding come from? I wouldn't trust tobacco company funded research on the health effects of tobacco either, and if it's not taxpayer money and not corporate money, what is it?

@shpufeff @augustus @arteteco @ozer Even if glibal warming is real, we should do the opposite of whatever leftists tell us to do about it.
