There's a fair amount of propaganda on "climate change" regarding weather "changes" on the western coast of the USA, which is actually directly attributable to the PDO (Pacific decadal oscillation), a natural 60-80 year cycle.

Obviously attributing climate to a natural cycle doesn't fit the desired narratives.

That's another great example of an opinion. And now here are the facts:



Bah. You can't even read a sentence and understand it.

Let's try again, factboy (actually a simple propagandist).

am just trying to understand why some people in society are still skeptical about climate change even though there are scientific proof.

Well if you mention what proof it is easier to answer Smiley and I think they mainly doubt why things change not that the change they see is real.

The main problem is that the climate always change over long periods of time, so there is always something to blame. We have gone from hot climate to ice age and back so many times, it might not be a problem many could arguee.

Can you really prove that the amount of dimming vs the amount of heat absorption is heating us, that no natural causes is to blame(sun etc)?

The next thing comes down to simple psychology, human brains do very bad with change, especially for the worse, and we rather blame nature then accept being part of said change.
We also must come to realization of the situation, something that requires humans to read up on it and focus on it, which they most likely won´t. If media gave them a false view, it is even less likely they will ever come to see the situation with pure logical thinking or even read sources stating opposing facts :S

Good luck!

I find that climate cycles are something that are not talked about enough. I certainly don't think that what humans are doing has no effect on the environment, but we have a very limited data set in terms of the history of the earth. So often people talk about climate change, but it's so rare for people to acknowledge that it's (at least in part) a natural cycle. Another thing that bugs me is that in popular media sometimes so much responsibility is put on the end consumer, average people. If all the people in the world stop letting their vehicles idle when they aren't driving and start using reusable bags at the grocery store, it will still be a drop in the ocean compared to the effects industry and agriculture have on the environment. Talk about climate change is often a political stunt or an ad campaign. The issue is so complex. If everybody changes their light bulbs to some more environmentally-friendly ones, that may be a good thing, but you also have to take into account that a new factory had to be create to produce all those light bulbs. I've heard similar things about electric cars. Sure, it's great that electric cars don't burn fuel, but whats potential damage do the production and disposal of those huge batteries do to the environment.

There's a fair amount of propaganda on "climate change" regarding weather "changes" on the western coast of the USA, which is actually directly attributable to the PDO (Pacific decadal oscillation), a natural 60-80 year cycle.

Obviously attributing climate to a natural cycle doesn't fit the desired narratives.

There's that same mistaken argument again - there are no opposing facts. The facts are unequivocal and undisputed that climate change is real and man-made. There are opposing opinions, but they are just that - opinions.

Really? That's an interesting OPINION you have.

Google Teams Up With UN To Create Climate Change Tracking Platform




It seems the Snowball Earth theory has been settled by 97% of people, just by staring at that tasty looking ice cream cone... Smiley




Tech giant Google will help the United Nations track climate change data by sharing information from its environmental satellites.

The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) announced July 16, that it was working with Google to create a platform that “aims to expand what the world knows about the impacts of human activity on global ecosystems.”

Caroline Haskins, writing for The Outline, bemoaned Trump administration cutbacks in funding for climate change research which led the UN to “lean heavily into private partnerships.” But a privately funded company producing open source data could possibly produce more accurate data than the opaque systems that created data debacles like Climategate. Unless Google’s liberal views and “shared vision” with the UN regarding climate, lead to compromises of its data.

“When completed, the platform will leverage Google’s cloud computing and earth observation public catalogs and for the first time enable governments, NGO’s and the public to track specific environment-related development targets with a user-friendly Google front-end,” a UN press release declared.


https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/business/paul-wilson/2018/07/19/google-teams-un-create-climate-change-tracking-platform




Of course if climate data was maintained on public blockchains, then no one would be able to ADJUST IT, and a lot of problems would just go away.

But that wouldn't be acceptable to the powers that be, because it wouldn't be capable of being corrupted.

I think that all this epic about the fact that the real Satoshi Nakamoto will write a book is just another of the mechanisms with the help of a whales will continue to control the consciousness of the masses. The true Satoshi Nakamoto is not the one who writes the book and the one who can demonstrate that he really owns private keys to a million bitcoins.

Correct.

There is nothing simpler than someone proving he is Satoshi.

There is zero reason, gain or advantage in speculation.

Anyone who says the Quran advocates terrorism obviously hasn't read its lessons on violence. The permission given in Quran 22:40-41 to fight in self-defense was not only granted to defend Muslims from persecution, but to defend Christians, Jews and people of all faiths from acts of terror like those committed by Isis today. So I don't know why you ask "Are terrorists only muslim in religion?"

If this is true, then why do true believers in Islam feel the need to create multiple identities, and under these differing names post nearly identical things to this thread?

Just one more case of Takiyya, right?
4808  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Are terrorists only muslim in religion? on: July 18, 2018, 04:00:31 PM
Why do people connect terrorism with muslims? It was not so long away when I think in Norway one man in the name of Cristianity killed 40 muslim's children . Whell the children did not even know what is terrorism. It is problem in head for any religion  Huh

Because Muslims have carried out over 33,000 terror attacks since 9/11.


....I'd estimate upwards of 90% ....

Now now. Let's not be making things up.

Most people hate islamic religion because they usually worship with weapons on them which in one way or the other prepares them for war even though they are worshiping Allah.

I wonder if this is true.

Article asserts that the more devout a Muslim is, the more violent he is likely to be.

Trump is most insane president so far , do believe a president willing to fight up with Europa , Russia and UN security council .
at the end American citizen is the big looser when traveling abroad .



Europa needs the US market to sell their goods.
The UN Security council and the whole UN Building is in the US.
Russia is doing what Russia does best with Germany and Merkel: no Lube, the way the Euros like it (massive illegal immigration, women and children raped, massive amount of terror attacks, submissive destructive attitude of the European citizens, etc).

Is there any needs for an American Citizen to travel abroad, especially in Europe?

No.
Non.

When people see a particular group as “the other” as opposed to co-equal members of society, there is a psychological effect related to what is termed, In-group/Out-group group dynamics. This means that if “my” group does something, it is not as bad as when “their group” does something. Members of the In-group are viewed with harmony as opposed to animosity and this is what you see in the above comment. So, if a Muslim asks for the same rights as everyone else, it is viewed as “forcing the religion” or “changing our laws” when in fact, neither is the case. As for the idea that Islam needs to be eradicated, this is actually no different than antisemites who say all Jews have to be eradicated. The person is frankly, an extremist.Thus , the muslim said to be hated by other religions because they want to force their beliefs and religion in one place thats why most people hate islam.
Bah.

It's Muslims that view non-Muslims as "the others," as opposed to co-equal members of society.

This is codified in their belief system, in the Koran, and is readily admitted by believers in Islam.

Yes, that one was easy to see coming. The Russian pipelines, the careful manipulation of the German population to NOT believe in nuclear power, to stop using coal, to do all the "Green things..." a path that purposefully led them into energy dependance on Russia.

You say it was easy to see, but I wasn't looking. Thanks for pointing it out!

I wonder how this all plays out with the whole Russia collusion story? I know this question sounds stupid but, any connection you think?

I don't think it's a stupid question at all. But given the apparent lack of Russian collusion.....

The unpleasant reality of the politics of oil and gas is that the simple way to force a long term reliance on oil and gas is to push a belief in solar and wind energy on naive populations.

people don't hate islam. its a stereotype that islam-is terrorism. Sadly that's what people believe. now innocent people who rely on this religion are affected everyday. all because of terrorism. Not all terrorist are religion based , that's what people have to know.hopefully one day people will see that islam is not bad and we as people are all equal no matter their race or religion. those who are terrorist are not human
