Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

Joe is a fundamentally good human being. I wish this side of him - generous, wise and eloquent, had come across in the ‘debates.’

Plus he’s fundamentally too old, too white, too rich, and too out of touch with how our taxes are wasted on military contractors & welfare for big business.

People (well, mostly jamin and probably rojo) have been in and out of this thread under different handles for the past 3 years. Most of them show one or more of the following characteristics : borderline, if not full blown autism (nothing wrong with autism, just my observation), intentional and excessive obtuseness (la langue de bois comes to mind frequently), and roughly zero sense of community.

DFF, DiscoGary, Sally Vix, whoever else... it's all pretty much been the same, plus or minus some egregious emoji usage. The reality is that engaging the trolls keeps things interesting, otherwise the thread would be nothing but Flagpole agreeing with himself (....wait).

Shout out though EPIC Flagpole because I honestly look forward to his 1st of the month updates and Flagpole streak counter.

Perhaps you’re right.

Maybe I’ll feed some of them now and then. I do sometimes find jessyriley’s over the top paranoid Bernie-Bro act mildly entertaining. Although, sometimes I wonder if it’s not an act and he’s real person (which would be scary).

Here’s the dirty Lex Liar’s money at work in SC:

Yes, you are scared by real people. Please stay in your basement, it’s safer there.

I'd just like to point out some interesting things here and I hope Fat Hurts is paying attention.

1) There are a lot of really dogsh!t scientists these days. I mean really bad;

2) Most of these publications are beyond most of you;

3) Most of them are tainted by weird precautionary principle b.s. becuase ->

4) Most of the studies get hijacked, dumbed down, and intentionally cherry picked by political/interest groups to push an agenda and scientists are trying not to get caught in the middle.

So I broke my rule about reading anything with Sally in the thread. Your address to me personally caught my attention.

I agree with all four of your points. Science can be messy. But of course, that doesn't mean we ignore the science and just believe whatever we want to believe.

To address your third and fourth points, this is exactly why we should be terrified. Scientists are a very cautious lot. For decades the climate science community has tried to just put out the facts, stay out of the spotlight, and hope that we deal with those facts rationally.

Instead, we have ignored the science and continued to spew emissions. The fact that this will continue to heat our planet can be proven by simple greenhouse gas experiments in any high school science lab. So despite some amount of junk science, skewed science, and hijacked science, we know with certainty where we are headed.

Global warming will continue to accelerate and if we don't slow it down it will destroy the human race. Scientists are trying to work out how fast it will happen and if we can even stop it. But there is little doubt that if we keep burning fossil fuels then mankind will perish.

Antarctica is melting, Australia is burning. Probably just a coincidence. Nothing to be concerned about. It's only the Dow that matters.

EPIC Flagpole's monthly Flagpole Flagpoling streak posts are indeed among the highest quality on this thread. It's nice to get the simple Cliff Notes version of what actually mattered that month, especially after hundreds TDS-driven hope and speculation posts.

On the bright side, I got rid of my snow blower when I moved recently and haven't needed it since.

Visited NYC last week, temps weren’t bad, no snow, highs in the 50s. They said it’s like this a lot now.

15,000 years ago, there was 2 miles of ice where I sit.

8,000 years ago, it was all gone.

150 years ago, the industrial revolution began.

25 years ago, the SUV started to become the vehicle of choice for many Americans.

Today, Global Warming Alarmists put pictures of polar bears sitting on a small pieces of ice, and look at people driving SUVs and say "Look what you did!"

Come on, guys! A little common sense reality checking, please! There is no way that "20% of Antarctic's snow has melted in just 9 days". Please stick to reality - it is bad enough.

This reminds me of some of the math classes that I taught where a student would multiply 3.27 x 6.42 and come up with 209,934. Absolutely zero sense of what a reasonable answer should look like.

No, 20% of the Antarctic's snow did not melt in just 9 days. I wouldn't even care if the video said it did because the proposition is preposterous. But in fact the video did NOT say this. Watch it again if you are still unclear on this.

Correct. Armstronglivs misunderstood. It's not 20% of Antarctica's ice. It's 20% of the ice on this particular island.

I do encourage everyone to watch that video though. It's quite alarming how warm Antarctica has been recently and how fast things are melting.

What the video didn't mention was the albedo effect. More melting means less white snow and ice cover. This means less solar radiation is reflected into space and more is absorbed into our planet. So terrestrial ice loss doesn't just mean higher sea levels. It means an acceleration of global warming.

The faster the ice melts the warmer the planet gets. The warmer the planet gets the faster the ice melts. It's a deadly feedback loop.

Of course you don't. I think Global Warming is a hoax and you have bought into it hook-line-and-sinker. How many "Tipping Points" have come and gone? How many IPCC reports have been riddled with false prognostications time and time and time again? How many IPCC reports - the subsequent ones - have been forced to correct the errors in previous IPCC reports. Global Warming - what a crock.

The IPCC reports are really just an overview of the body of relevant literature. From report to report new literature accumulates, adding insight to particular areas where advances have been made, but it is rare that there are major paradigm shifts or significant corrections to the general understanding. Generally confidence in particular conclusions strengthen as additional data is collected, but broadly the IPCC reports are all about the same.

I say this knowing that with the understanding that pretty much everyone is aware you're knowingly spouting nonsense, but from time to time, it's worth pointing out bullshit for what it is.

There’s my boy. Right on cue.

Trumpanzees are so scary lol.

This reminds me of George W Bush presidency, albeit much worse. Bush and his Attorney General John Ashcroft were in the midst of cutting anti-terrorism funds when 9/11 happened. Duh.

There's always, always a tweet

Nonsense? Perhaps the IPCC reports are spewing nonsense.

This is from the 5th IPCC report dated 2014:

Over the period 1992 to 2011, the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets have been losing mass (high confidence), likely at a

larger rate over 2002 to 2011. Glaciers have continued to shrink almost worldwide (high confidence). Northern Hemisphere

spring snow cover has continued to decrease in extent (high confidence). There is high confidence that permafrost temperatures have increased in most regions since the early 1980s in response to increased surface temperature and changing snow

cover. {1.1.3}

This is also dated 2014 and looks at the conundrum of the growing Antarctic ice mass in spite of the ever-increasing CO2 emissions:

Paul Holland, a climate modeler with the British Antarctic Survey, has spent the last ten years studying Antarctica’s sea ice and the Southern Ocean. Lately, he has been scrutinizing the seasons of Antarctica and how fast the ice comes and goes. Holland thinks these seasons may be a key to a conundrum: If Earth’s temperatures are getting warmer and sea ice in the Arctic has been shrinking fast, why then is sea ice in the Antarctic slowly increasing?

So, are the IPCC reports just riddled with lies?

I can show you many more examples. Like when they talk about the increasing magnitude of hurricanes in like the 3rd IPCC report when instead we didn't even have a major hurricane (Cat 3 or higher) for like 14 years since Wilma in 2004 or 2005.

You're "pretty sure". You couldn't provide a counterpoint link. Your fantasy math problem is of your own making.

Ummm . . . no additional counterpoint link required. The original link did not say what was claimed.

Seriously, do you have an IQ over 70? If not, that's ok. I'm sure you can't help it. But maybe you, like Sally, should consider only asking questions on this thread..
