Hi there ! Thanks for the cross post . I ' ve given you an rgonewild verified flair for now . If you want an IGW Verified ! flair , please make a similar post with rindiansgonewild mentioned on the piece of paper . <| sep |> Lol le drumpf meme . So fucking cringy <| sep |> I don ' t know what ' s more ignorant then deliberately ignoring it when hackers discover a coverup of cooling trends to make the data look like what you want it to . And then ignoring it . But it ' s never ignorance as long as it meets our presuppositions ! Temperature adjustments increase temperature trends in some regions while decreasing them in others . Overall these adjustments make a negligible difference on global surface temperatures from the 1940 s onward . And then we spontaneously see some headlines every now and then about an ice age . Who ' s ignorant again ? The radiative forcing decrease from a solar minimum is less than the radiative forcing increase from our greenhouse gas emissions . Thus , at most , such a solar minimum would only slightly slow down the rate of warming from our greenhouse gas emissions . Just because it is written in an article doesn ' t mean it is true . Some ice is at record highs . Antarctic sea ice is slightly increasing although it is currently at a record low for this time of year but overall the world is losing net ice at about a trillion tons per year . Arctic sea ice is declining , the Greenland ice sheet is declining , inland glaciers are declining , and the Western Antarctic ice sheet is declining . Just saying . the earth warms and it cools . The earth warms and cools in response to forcings on the climate system . Natural forcings on the climate are neutral or slightly negative at the moment , meaning we should have flat or slightly cooling at the moment based on natural cycles of the earth . We are warming at more than ten times the rate of warming coming out of the last glacial period due to our emission of heat trapping gases such as carbon dioxide and methane . Carbon was at far higher levels in the atmosphere thousands of years ago then now . Many millions of years ago , not thousands . And the greenhouse effect would have been stronger back then than it is now due to those elevated co 2 levels . Pretty sure man isn ' t causing global warming . Yes , humans are entirely responsible for the warming trend over the last half century . The United States and any other western nation sure can ' t do crap to stop it . Waste your time lobbying China instead . The US emits more than 15 % of all carbon dioxide emissions and is the highest per capita emitter of co 2 in the world . We will certainly have a significant effect on how much the earth warms . It is true through that we need all nations to collectively agree to work together on this issue . That is why the US has joined with most every other nation on the earthincluding Chinato reduce greenhouse gas emissions . Don ' t hit me with a pointless and idiotic carbon tax or some crap . A carbon tax is a very good free market solution to the externalities of greenhouse gas pollution .
