NASA Study: Mass Gains of Antarctic Ice Sheet Greater than Losses

[Blobfish]

So called Global Warming is an ideology or religion promoted by the Left..
Did you know that INDIA and CHINA can burn coal without any restriction..even though Global Warming
is caused supposenly by C02 burn.

I will say Climate change, but leftys call it Climate change even though the climate has been changing between the Geological Periods.
The Climate has changed between Ice Age to Warm ..Nothing to worry about

The Left just want attention.. Climate Change is their ruse

[Yvaelle]

How do you know that?

Studies such as the one reported on in this NY Times article suggest it.



And the US is definitely amongst the most denialy of developed countries by any measure, if not the most denialy. With that said, the oil industry is a global phenomena - and their propaganda isn't confined to the US.

As it stands, the countries who are experiencing the impact of climate change already are generally the ones who a) recognize it as a threat, and b) attribute humanity with some degree of responsibility for causing it.

The Left just want attention.. Climate Change is their ruse

AGW legislation really only has two results

a) people have less money to spend because energy costs are higher
b) companies which don't lean left face putative taxation and regulation

The climate itself trucks on just as it has long before man and shall for long after.

True, but humans have a limited time to live on Earth while its climate is habitable, and we can speed up the process of climate change which narrows our lifespan window.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo what are you talking about? We'll all be fine forever something something climate cycle something something I don't understand science something something liberal left.
We all know that the only thing the Earth understands is tough love. /s

They probably shouldn't have polluted the issue with so much bogus hate game hysteria and wealth redistribution corruption then.

They tried to come off as the sole voice of reason but people saw through the scam.

Its like being able to make the best hamburger in the world and then setting up a restaurant that spits in the customers face when they walk through your door and calls them a racist when they turn around and leave.

None of that is true. It's all nonsense that was made up by deniers, as slander. Not understanding projections does not mean those making them are creating "hysteria".

Taxing companies to offset the environmental damage their products cause is not "wealth redistribution", however much you think they should get a pass.

[TrumpIsPresident]

Our country used to dream to solve problems. We would have debates on what to do and how to get to the solution. Now we have a party whose argument is to never dream to create any solutions.

You want to make America great again? Start thinking of how you can use government to accomplish the goals of society.

I can get the ball rolling with some satire.

To start, we wont be letting some micro-concentrated leftist elite world super-government tell us how long we can run our air conditioner in the summer.

ENDUS! I missed you most of all.

So you're saying all that was "fake news" hehe?

Whole lot of tax payer money ended up in the pockets of "green tech" CEOs who pitched obviously bad ideas to the government but got grants anyways and then went bankrupt.

[Afrospinach]

Just think about how if you give the government all this power, what happens when someone you do not like gets elected.

[TrumpIsPresident]

Americans all doing their part to curb our energy consumption. My heart swells at the idea of such a perfect image of patriotism.

Lol well we little people have to make cutbacks so Leo and Al can have their private jets roaming the planet dumping out more carbon in an hour than we do in a year hehe.

[Endus]

Basically. It's not like it's a secret that the fossil fuel industry is directly funding climate change denial, in the same way that tobacco companies were directly funding tobacco-is-healthy "research";

Is this where you point at Solyndra and ignore that the program it was a part of was a huge success overall?

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articl...unded-solyndra

One failure among a strong string of successes does not mean that money was being thrown away; the program's been a net gain.

[Orbitus]

Why the hell the only place in the world where global warming isn accepted as a fact by a large % of its population is the US?

Ask the Trump supporters.

Could point to Solyndra...

Could also point to this list of so called "green tech" companies that share three things in common:

1. They have key players with connections to the Obama Administration.
2. They all received tax payer money.
2. They (or for some just the green tech divisions/subsidiaries) all went bankrupt but those same key players walked away wealthy.

Scam --> KABOOM!

Just one of the many reasons why America chose to reject this agenda.

So, straight-up lying, then. That's how you want to play this?

You're taking that list from here; http://nation.foxnews.com/obama/2012...nergy-failures

There is no "key players with connections to the Obama Administration" aspect. You're making that shit up.
While they DID receive money, and these companies did go bankrupt, the program itself has been highly profitable for the government, generating far more success than failure. So cherry-picking these is again dishonest.

Fox News just cherry-picked the details misleadingly. You're blatantly lying on top of that.

Taxing companies is the answer! Consumers will get passed on the tax and the companies will continue to pollute, brilliant.

Actually it was from gatewaypundit.

And nope no lies.

Just a truth you've never been exposed to.

Anyways the good news is under President of the United States of America Donald J. Trump we wont have to worry about funneling of tax payer money to bad companies.

Hooray!

The claim that "key players" have connections to Obama? That's a lie. Absolutely baseless statement, unless the "connection" is "participated in this green-energy program".

I missed victory night here on MMO-C, how was it?

[Celista]

Yup.

But before anyone decides to misunderstand: when you factor in all ice sheets, there's a massive net loss.

Gee, I wonder why the OP didn't include this info in his post.
