I remember when I was a boy, during summer, the temperature dropped so much when it rained that we had to wear warm clothes and use blankets but now......well, you know. What a big change! Yes, global warming is real.

Even in my place, the summers have become very intolerant now. Back in my hometown in Nepal, even in the hills it is getting really warm during the summers. A few years back, there was no need of an air-conditioner in the hills. But now in the summers you can't survive without one.

Do you even know what "climate change" is? Climate is defined as decadal change, ten years. At least three periods of ten years are required in terms of data, to comment on change in climate. Year to year weather that you don't like or find unpleasant is not climate change.

Numerous climate patterns run in long cycles such as 60-80 years. The effects of these are often misunderstood as being caused by man. An example is the PDO, or Pacific Decadal Oscillation.

Numerous regional changes are mistakenly attributed to man's CO2 production. For example, in Nepal you have glaciers melting. What's the cause?

http://www.climatechangenews.com/2013/02/25/black-carbon-blamed-for-30-of-nepal-glacier-melt/

This is not "global warming," but a regional phenomena.

Global warming is real, but whether it is caused by human activity is debatable. There cooling/warming cycles of Earth has happened in the past, probably over a million time, this time is not much different.

It probably can not be scientifically proven that global warming is caused by human activity, because animals produce much more CO2 than humans just by existing, plus global warming has happened in the past without human activity.



Pretty much all people stereotyped as "Deniers" agree that  co2 has an effect on atmospheric temperature.

They may think it is insignificant compared to natural variation, though, and the climate record of the last three decades seem to bear this point of view out.

Unfortunately, the hysterical propaganda arm of the eco-climate business and politics keeps hammering gloom and doom at people, creating purposefully what might be called a climate of fear.

Global warming is fake.

The 3rd Congress of Freedom Force

was convened in Phoenix, Arizona, on December 3 & 4, 2016.
The theme of the Congress was …

Global-Warming;
an Inconvenient Lie.
It was a gathering of the world’s top experts on this subject
who completely demolished the myth
of anthropogenic (man-caused) global-warming.

The whole event soon will be broadcast free on the Internet. If you would like to be informed of the date, click here and leave your name and email address where we can send the information.

because all religions are fake! All religions are made by human and they use it as tools to satisfied their needs. However it is good too to have religions, to give the people ways of life by choosing the religion.
Religion is not a human creation, but rather descended by a god through an angelic messenger. Special religions that created their god from their own works. Maybe you do not believe in a god for eating logic and not understanding that there is something that can not be seen.


Did the messenger told infidels to die... even before they had an opportunity to understand the message? I mean God is the creation itself. Time and space and everything in between is God. Everything that was created is God, one universe, multiple universes, doesn't matter. One would think the messenger of God, and his prophet would give humans a few years to find their way to get the message fully, not be killed at first sight by those who already 'got' the message...

...IMHO




Now you are being far, far too logical and you are not accommodating the feelings of those who know in their heart they are better than others and more able to say what others should do and feel.

It's the voice in someone's head that tells them they are the superior man.

Damned! I forgot about that. And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling Feelz!






Minor note, but Muslims basically hate dogs.

It is technically impossible for a muslim to hate a talking dog. At worse the dog would be forced to convert, or pay a tax...


I must admit such a dog - a talking dog - would fit right in with all us other kaffers....

Is Global Warming Real?

You should watch: Before the Flood (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5929776/). Leonardo DiCaprio and the crew takes us to places directly affected by global warming. Somewhere in the documentary, Donald Trump says: "Global warming? Where is Global warming? It's chilling out here." He doesn't believe in global warming may be because he's a businessman.

Trump?

Oh, he's just a clown.

It's the drastic effects on penguins that global warming has caused that both excite and alarm me.

If these banned posters were just being trolls, then I have no problem with it. I mean these posters are staring at scientific evidence in the face and denying its truth and validity in a science forum itself.
Sez who?

Methinks it is the Reddit forum and it's moderators that are denying science. Most of the posts there are auto generated by the forum moderators, and most are pure propaganda.

However, let's assume you are correct, and some poster stared scientific evidence in the fact and denied its truth and validity. Let's say he vigorously defended his incorrect position, and all of the Reddit moderators and visitors were unable to argue down the convincing presentations made.

That's called DEBATE.

In the absence of that, you don't have a science forum. You have a forum ran by Deniers of Science.

So here you go, buddy.

The crust of the earth is elastic, which is obvious because gravity has formed it into a near sphere. Worry about sea level rise is groundless, because whether the h20 is ice or water, the same weight pushes inward, and the forces will equalize. A bit more weight, a bit more compression, and hence there will be no sea level rise, even if all of Greenland were to melt.

Either refute this with science, or shut the fuck up.

So the > 31,000 suicide bombers and atrocities by Muslims since 9/11 are because Muslims got their feelings hurt?

No matter what you do, one way or another you are going to hurt some peoples feelings.
Those people became "kafar" when they started to follow some organized cult with that level of violence killing someone no matter who he is, like that is never fine in any religion I state that those people aren't even human let alone muslim , muslims only contain of two main routes sunni and shia that's it, those who aren't in these routes aren't muslims even if they use islamic symbols or flags.

The whole reason Isis,Jundallah or Talleban formed is for the control of weak nations from inside ,We lost many scientists and generals at the hand of rigi leader of jundallah so we are hurt by terrorism ourselves and waste of a human life is heart wrenching with or without religion.

As a kafar I am most offended you include such people in my group.

The consensus of scientists is that mankind has made global climate change.

Even the largest oil companies agree on this. Exxon Mobile's internal papers have an 80% agreement on man made climate change. Although they are spending millions a year to publish articles that "question the facts".

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/exxonmobil-xom-not-walking-climate-211909180.html


Big oil has been using the same PR companies that Big Tobacco used to fight the science that smoking causes cancer.



Little of what you have said is even in line with the actual facts. Here's a quote from the article.

Recently, Geoffrey Supran and Naomi Oreskes -- experts in the history of science at Harvard -- published an article, Assessing ExxonMobil’s Climate Change Communications (1977–2014), in academic journal, Environmental Research Letters. It stated the gap between the company's internal findings and external advertorials.

In the available documents, the experts found inconsistency between the company's academic findings and public presentations. ExxonMobil always acknowledged the climate change problems and its threats along with the uncertainties related to the topic as noted by the climate scientists. However, the gap became prominent when the company's advertorials in the New York Times highlighted only the uncertainties, but not the threats.

The study found that 83% of ExxonMobil's peer-reviewed papers and 80% of its internal reports recognize climate change as a real man-made problem. However, only 12% of its advertorials do the same. The experts compared ExxonMobil’s misleading actions with Scientific Certainty Argumentation Method (SCAM).

Global warming is real. I every year feel like the temperature rises higher and the heat keeps very long in the warm season. I hope people will start taking care of the planet in order to avoid fatal heat.

I agree with you.  These days, summer days feels like rainy days and vice versa.  Storms were getting stronger and stronger and there were earthquakes  often.  Many diseases were emerging also due to viruses carried by animals compared before.  It floods easily even it rain in just a short period of time.

Trees were vital in these climate change.  Sad to say that they were uprooted to widen the roads, build subdivision and parks.

Trees, past tense?

Every few ten/twenty thousand years a new ice age sets in. Will global warming prevent the next iceage?

This is very wrong thinking.

Everyone must work with the politicians to cool the planet and make the next ice age come faster.

 Huh

Dude here doesn't understand what global warming can do. Global warming can cause an ice age and not just that. Right now we xan already feel its effects. Stronger hurricanes and typhoons, dried rivers, extremely hot climate in some areas, icebergs melting, and this is only the beginning. Its scary to think about what will happen if this continues as the effects are felt by us pretty quickly.

This is a short intro to skepticism about the political propaganda version of "global warming."

http://www.drroyspencer.com/my-global-warming-skepticism-for-dummies/

An excerpt.

2) Why Do Some Scientists Say It’s Cooling, while Others Say the Warming is Even Accelerating?


Since there is so much year-to-year (and even decade-to-decade) variability in global average temperatures, whether it has warmed or cooled depends upon how far back you look in time. For instance, over the last 100 years, there was an overall warming which was stronger toward the end of the 20th Century. This is why some say “warming is accelerating”. But if we look at a shorter, more recent period of time, say since the record warm year of 1998, one could say that it has cooled in the last 10-12 years. But, as I mentioned above, neither of these can tell us anything about whether warming is happening “now”, or will happen in the future.

Is it hard for a muslim to leave his religion behind?

Are you serious? It is not possible for a Muslim to abandon his religion or to convert to another one. Apostasy is a crime which is punishable by death in almost all of the Muslim nations. It is like the rules of the Mexican prison gangs. It is called blood in, blood out. The only way to join the gang is to kill or injure someone. And the only way is to leave the gang is to commit suicide.

It's certainly possible for a Muslim to become a slacker, though.

That's the most common method of dealing with the irrationality and ridiculousness of any religion.

On the surface, it appears as just forgivable human weakness.

As a Iranian who's been muslim for half of my life
Religions at their core aren't bad, they are created to be used as a manipulation tool to pervert anarchy and chaos by putting rules that supposedly some kinda of god created.

They become unstable when few sides beliefs collide therefore new age or modern age needs new rewritten religion by some none existent god.
Just like my country that uses Religion as an excuse to manipulation people to follow the dictatory of mr x and y because their leader chosen by god or make them follow some king or family because their blood is different or connected to prophet or something.

Well said with one pretty funny typo.

"Perverting" anarchy and chaos

I think you meant

Preventing anarchy and chaos

Every few ten/twenty thousand years a new ice age sets in. Will global warming prevent the next iceage?

This is very wrong thinking.

Everyone must work with the politicians to cool the planet and make the next ice age come faster.

 Huh

Islam does not hate people, some individual representatives very often show aggression towards other people. But among the Muslims there are a lot of kind, sympathetic people.

So Muslims don't hate people unless they hate people.

Brilliant.

No totality in Washington, DC -- only 80% -- You can hear Trump's aides screaming, "Don't look at the sun!"
The only Trump who followed protocol was the autistic one....


"Hey, America, look what I did!"


Still sore about Sanders, huh?

"Do you feel the Bern?"
