re: Biden tapping Bill Nye the 'not really a' science guy

quote:Simple questions.
Do you have anything of value to offer other than inquisitions, nitpickery, and cherry picking?
Who claims that volcanos and cowfarts are responsible for the cyclical temperature fuccuations of the Quaternary ice age? Was that the "armchair scientists"?
Who claimed 15-20 years ago that an ice free Arctic was imminent? Was that the "armchair scientists"?
Who claimed Covid came from bats, or bat soup, or an outdoor market in Wuhan? Was that the "armchair scientists"?
Who claimed cloth masks helped? Was that the "armchair scientists"?
Who claimed SARS-CoV-2 appeared naturally evolved? Was that the "armchair scientists"?
Who claimed the CV19 Vax was 100% effective? Was that the "armchair scientists"?
Who claimed preschoolers should get the CV19Vax under an EUA? Was that the "armchair scientists"?
No answer?
... or is CV19 and its origin unimportant "nitpickery"?

Lol. Sorry not gonna play! Pick ONE thing to talk about. Then we can talk about it. And when we're done, we can talk about something else. I can't think 20 different thoughts all at once and I think you might be better off if you didn't do that yourself. Just a suggestion. Not trying to be "uncivil".

If you can't bring yourself to think only 1 of the 20 thoughts you should have no expectation I would do it for you.

First of all, please tell the board on how you get around from place to place, and how you live and eat, etc. and how you have implemented changes in your lifestyle that you and your ilk wish to impose on other US citizens. Second, yes such things as the warming of the Gulf of ME recently have been documented via recent data and as such I am not a "climate denier" but instead someone who doesn't buy in to all of the political extension of things such as increased intensity of hurricanes, fires, high temps, droughts, etc. Third - especially pinning humans as a major cause cannot be proven against the vast historic climate changes that have happened over the course of earth history. Fourth, if this is not again a political scheme, why not instead of the focus being on 'changing our ways' which is an approach that is BS, why are not monies and the focus be towards means to deal with and perhaps exploit say warming temps? For example, creating a hard clam industry in ME or research towards enhanced corn and wheat cultivars in South Dakota?

I will ask one more time.
How much climate change is caused by man.
How much money do we need to save the earth.

You asked two questions at once. He only does one at a time.
As to the first, we both know he hasn't anything but a guess, IOW barely a clue.
The term climate change implies deviation from climate baseline. It's an easy derivation as long as the baseline is known. But as you rhetorically point out, the baseline is not known.
Likewise, while we can calculate CO2 forcing contributions in isolation, environmental interplay is far more complex. It's one reason predictive modeling has been less than actually predictive.
As to how much money ... the answer is "your fair share" of course.

$0. The Earth does not care if you live or die.

Oh really? That's interesting. I'm guessing this is based on your review of stories in the press, statements by non-scientists including has been Presidential candidates and little girls, and non-profit "research" groups with undisclosed funding sources, and zero peer reviewed papers.
Prove me wrong.

The Warming Denier's Checklist. Please complete before entering an argument.
1) Pick one: a) global warming is natural b) the globe is cooling
2) Pick one: a) too many volcanos b) not enough volcanos
3) Pick one: a) The Earth is 4.5 billion years old b) the Earth is 5000 years old.
4) Select all that apply: a) the Sun b) a thermodynamic law chosen at random c) the greenhouse effect doesn't exist d) the climate changed without man before e) orbital cycles

a) global warming is natural
quote:We live in the Quaternary period manifested by an ice age. To clarify, for those "experts" who get their "science" from the likes of António Guterres, the fact we're in an ice age means the climate is currently cooler than at any point for over 200,000,000 years predating the Quaternary.
b) the globe is cooling
The rest of your post is impish, though I did have to chuckle at your use of the term "greenhouse effect."

Okay, your turn:
The Warmist Science Checklist. Please complete before entering an argument.
1) Pick one: a) global warming is natural b) the globe is cooling c) the climate is controlled by man.
2) Quaternary CO2 cycles come from: a) too many volcanos b) not enough volcanos c) pelagic effects d) cow farts
3) Quaternary interglacial maximums: a) are caused by increased atmospheric CO2 b) cause increased atmospheric CO2
4) The vast majority of terrestrial CO2 is contained: a) on land b) in the atmosphere c) in the ocean
5) Familiar with Henry's Law: a) Yes b) No

Wow look Dr. Armchair got distracted by a word again.
Let's take a look at the Denier Model of Global Warming
1. It's natural.
That's it. Zero predictive ability.
Now ask yourself, is that the baseline upon which you are judging climate models?

Which ones are those? Do they have names?
You tell me what happens to all that CO2 we're pumping into the ocean. The denier view seems to be that the pH drop is part of a worldwide conspiracy to lie about pH, and all the CO2 is instantly converted to limestone. Please correct any misunderstandings I might have about the Denier Model.
