Yes. The argument today is whether humanity is accelerating/altering the process. And by argument I mean numerous verifiable scientific studies that are reproducible versus what slightly racist, retired Uncle Joe heard on Fox News.

Yes except I’m not buying anything those guys are selling as they’ve been caught twice rigging the studies and throwing out information they disagree with.

Science should be free of politics and this just isn’t.

and yet here we are over 10 years removed from Al Gore's infamous climate film predicting global devastation and nothing is different

Whether it's racist or not what is reproducible and reproducing is the ever increasing human footprint - and some humans are more guilty (racially, ethnically, or culturally) than others.

Every human being radiates heat. Processes to sustain human life radiate heat. The simple fact is that increasing human population will increase heat. Now you can play with all kinds of things that affect efficiencies and perhaps reduce heat and waste generation per person, but in the end it's the total population that will determine the outcome. So where is the debate over human population in all this? You see there's no profit across the board for limiting human population growth and expansion because more people means more sales of goods and services.

Just like any other good crime, climate change fraud is all about greed. Go to the heart of the problem and how you deal with that, and nobody can backpedal fast enough to get out of the undertow when addressing world population and the need for control that sinks the climate change ship.

On the off chance that you're not just trolling and are actually as ignorant as our science denier and tweeter-in-chief, here is what the world looks like outside your bubble:

Yes, it's very cold this week in the eastern US. It's also unseasonably warm in many other parts of the world. Heck, all you have to do is look at the US west coast where we still have a record-breaking fire in the middle of the rainy season. It looks like the US will approximately tie 2015 for the record of total acres burned (about 10 million). 2017 will also be the 2nd (NASA) or 3rd (NOAA) warmest year on record, trailing only 2016 and maybe 2015, which were boosted by El Nino (we are currently in La Nina).

It’s why they’ve tried to abandon “global warming” in lieu of “climate change”

For the millionth time, “They” did not change the name from global warming to climate change. Global warming refers to the rise in average global temperature. The planet does not warm uniformly, though (for example, the artic is warming at 2-3x the average rate just like scientists predicted decades ago). Climates are relatively local, and climate change also includes things like changes in precipitation. Climate change and global warming are related terms but not quite interchangeable. Both terms have been used for decades and continue to be used.

Ironically, though, Republican political strategist Frank Luntz did once suggest:

It’s time for us to start talking about “climate change” instead of global warming and “conservation” instead of preservation…“Climate change” is less frightening than “global warming”…While global warming has catastrophic connotations attached to it, climate change suggests a more controllable and less emotional challenge

No, Earth’s temperature is now rising 20x-50x faster than the fastest rates in the geologic record, and at a time when our orbital mechanics should be gradually cooling us into another ice age (just like it had been doing for the last 10,000 years or so, up until the industrial revolution).

What we’re witnessing today is more like one of the half dozen or so mass extinctions in Earth’s history that were caused by greenhouse gas buildups from thousands of years of increased volcanism.

How many carbon credits did you purchase from Al Gore?

The global warming farce is a cash cow for the scientific community. Label their work as pertaining to “global warming” and instantly secure government money and mindless backers. Not a bad deal

It goes further than that. There's real money to be made by manufacturing alternate types of power generation, A company like GE, for example, sold lots of other types of power plants; now they can sell replacement generation even if the original plants have not reached their operating life. Industrial strength, built in obsolescence.

Alternate sources like solar to be effective need battery storage and inverters. Batteries are expensive and have a finite life - so there's the newly created need for replaceable parts - the new bottle cap and razor blade scheme. There's always money to be made on chaos and change.

Of course, all that newly minted manufacturing generates heat, waste, and pollution.

Welp

The Paris Climate Accords Are Starting to Look Like Fantasy

That is all to say, it is a virtual certainty that we will inflict, thanks to climate change, the equivalent of 25 Holocausts on the world. Or rather, thanks only to the air pollution associated with climate change. We are almost sure to break two degrees of warming, and those numbers do not reflect any of the other — quite considerable — effects of climate change. So 25 Holocausts is our absolute best-case outcome; the likely suffering will be considerably higher still. “We are locking in place a scale of suffering that has no precedent in our history,”

It's over. We're all finished. Time for these scientists to find something else to do. Something that might allow their waning days on earth to be more fulfilling and fruitful.

Also, due to the impending apocalypse, I'm going to need to keep my guns. Thanks.
