Republicans can't admit trump is a career criminal and they love him. Brent can't admit he's wrong about science and politics yet loves what those views bring to his personal benefit.

I’m just happy he admitted to record heat

Will you admit that a few hundredths of a degree of warming is no big deal especially when it fails to deliver the apocalypse predicted by the alarmists?  There once was a time climate scientists referred to a warming period as a “climate optimum”

“The U.S. is experiencing its quietest start to a wildfire season in at least the last 10 years.”

First admit to record heat...then there's the backflip!

0/10 for intentional ignorance, and cherry picking. Did not stick the landing.

Soon brent will be back saying there's no warming after all. He can't make his mind up.

It's not.  But a degree and a half is.  Which is what we are seeing now.

Since we are coming out of one of our worst Ice Ages then of course the temperatures have risen and are on a natural rise.

And sea levels are also rising, right?

You've been very adamant that sea levels haven't been rising at all.

 

You know when someone is lying, the first thing that goes is consistency. Time for some mental gymnastics!

Brent has no idea though. He thought that the temperature anomaly graphs were absolute temperatures. When I asked him to predict this year's anomaly he didn't even know what it was.

Just like Slim. Just like Rhys.

There is no observable difference in 60 years.

So, is there any change in sea level since the ice age? (or more specifically, the last glacial period)

So?  Where are the unprecedented disasters we have all been promised?

You mean, other than Sandy, Harvey and Katrina, the unprecedented fires out West and in Canada, the unpredecended droughts, the 62,000 people who died in Europe from last summer's heat?

No one promised any of them to me.  Who promised them to you?  Have you been listening to politicians and FOX News talking heads again?

Do you know what Unprecedented means? All it take is one year to disprove that.... correct? And about the fires .. Check out the facts.

Is it just me, or have your posts gotten slightly less comprehensible since your last vacation? English is a perishable skill, I guess.

You want a source that we had Sandy, Harvey and Katrina?  Sorry.  You will have to do your own work there.

Hurricane Dora started in the Caribbean, crossed central America, then hit the warmer-than-usual Eastern Pacific waters and intensified to a Category 4.  Fortunately it will likely miss most populated areas.  However, its winds have led to intense fires on Maui, and they are worsening.  So far over a thousand acres have burned, and tens of thousands are evacuating.

Bill, you need to stop watching disaster porn, it will rot your brain even more than living in California.

Every death is a Sad thing... very bad. We must try to stop death from catastrophes like this. Looks like we are doing a good job for the last 100 years.

Crazy. So once we passed the Slim King golden age of communication, a time when just yelling at your neighbor over the fence constituted social media, and found a way to let folks know that tornadoes and hurricanes and floods and locust explosions and zombie attacks were coming deaths went down. Damn, who could have guessed?

[billvon 2,997]

Now up to 53 dead.

I know!  And no one could have foreseen that adopting building codes that prevented damage in high winds or earthquakes would end up, you know, preventing damage in high winds or earthquakes!  It's just so shocking; unthinkable even.

And aviation!  I mean, sure, when designers began designing safer, more capable aircraft, everyone thought it would make for good ads.  No one thought it would make them safer, or more capable, in dangerous weather!  And when they started using better and better radar and satellite systems to forecast weather and delineate areas of dangerous turbulence or icing, we were all shocked when the accidents due to turbulence and icing went down.

The world is just an unpredictable, confusing place to conservatives.

 Love you Joe but These Globalists say that Climate Change will kill us all. They say We've never seen this kind of deadly climate before. They are now saying we are BOILING. Greta said we only have a few years left .. AOC said only 12 years left about  5 years ago. The government said the North Pole would have melted by now ... I can't swallow all these lies ... How can you?

No, the Global, Elite, Border Wall Hating Cartel is not saying that Climate Change will kill us all. We are actually happy that we'll all be dead from other causes before the worst effects of a warming planet make life on our pale blue dot less tenable. Now I won't lie, I think most of us would be happy if it could be arranged that all of the chowder heads went first. But I digress, the thing is that we have already had a more active than "normal" Atlantic Hurricane season and warming sea temperatures have caused NOAA to upgrade their forecast to more activity. Will it happen? Got me, but I wouldn't bet against it. In truth you'd need to be a complete ninny to not notice that hot, ugly, weather is happening mostly everywhere. Yes, Brent will be along with a graph he doesn't understand to refute the point but if you don't believe it just step outside. Now, you'll forgive me for being a little giggle and agog as I enjoy the world going to hell but here in Oregon, where no one believed it was safe to cross the border without a stash of umbrellas and a few bath towels not too long ago, we are now the nations comfy banana belt of easy sunshine, with no humidity, and pleasant light winds daily. Add to that excellent wine, great craft beers and, for those so disposed,  weed stores in numbers like auto part stores in Georgia. The point being that one mans melted glacier that ruined his life will be another mans benefit at least in our meaningless time frames.
