Since October 1, the US has eperienced the coolest, wettest weather on record. And not surprisingly that has led to the fewest forest fires on record. Climate alarmists are (of course) reporting the exact opposite (https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=4&v=AhupiztoIrE).

I love this, science is virtually never settled. How's best to train a middle-distance runner? 40km per week or 250km per week? What do they do when a male has prostate cancer? They deprive the body of testosterone but but the risk of getting PCa increases as men age and testosterone levels fall. Many males have taken testosterone after diagnosis with better longevity outcomes. Science is never settled.

Global warming is indeed a part of climate change.
The climate has obviously been changing due to human intervention and this has now become a very serious crises.
My problem with climate change is that we have no baseline to compare it to where climate was not changing. You can say warming has accelerated recently, whatever that means, but you can't say what the climate would be like without humans at the same time under the same conditions (minus humans).
My other problem is that the atmosphere has mass in a finite space. If there is more co2 in the air than ever, it means one of two things: 1) co2 is replacing some other gas and you're claiming co2 is more "greenhouse gassier" than whatever greenhouse gas it is replacing, for no apparent reason, or 2) if you aren't of the mind that co2 is replacing some other gas, then by releasing more co2, we are putting more mass in the same finite space, effectively compressing the atmosphere. We should not be talking about the greenhouse gas effect raising temperature; we should be battling atmospheric compression. That probably doesn't sell as many carbon credits though.
Course you can. They take core samples of both poles every day. They can register climate changes for thousands of years.
You are just intellectually lazy. You think it should have been printed in the farmer's almanac

Climate isn't changing anymore than it has in the last 1000, right on par to be exact. Do try to develop a brain and think for yourself Sheep Head.

What the heck are you going on about here? Neither pole is occupied on a continuous (daily) or even regular basis.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effectWhat exactly is the motivation for this global conspiracy involving nearly all of the known scientific community?
Please don't tell me that motivation to get grant money is enough to enable a hoax that is able to drown out a counter-info campaign funded by some of the biggest corporations on the face of the Earth.
Big lies require big money, both as funding and as a motivator to create the campaign in the first place. Whoever is lying about climate change would need SIGNIFICANT financial motivation to do so.
Either scientists are lying.... or oil companies are.....hmmmmmmmm.....this is a tough one...
Correct. It's bizarre so many are willing to believe world scientists are involved in a grand conspiracy to deceive about global warming.
The link to the Dunning Kruger effect was very ironic.
Every really intelligent and educated person who has looked into it thoroughly enough has confirmed that climate change is happening.
Either something is brainwashing them or they are correct.
These are experts who understand it in a way I do not. They are very smart people, much smarter than me, who have dedicated a great deal of time to studying it.
I am going to stick to my own limited field of expertise and assume they are right for now.

Surely you will agree the polar caps at both poles are getting warmer and warmer.
Maybe the north pole, but there is little evidence of the south pole (a number of researchers have tried to make data support the idea of a warming southern pole, but most of the data points do not support this supposition). The north pole is more of a product of the Siberian Anti-cyclone increasing in strength which deflects warm air up and around Siberia during the 6 months of winter and this warming is more localized and not representative of the globe as a whole. While the Northwest Passage is open for brief periods of time now, it was also open briefly in the early 1900s as well, so this oscillation is not unheard of even in recent history. I am not a global warming denier by any means, but at least be honest about some of the things you are claiming and don't make claims like the world will end in 12 years like some people on the left.

What was the motive for scientist in the 70s to say the earth was cooling?

Very good science, don't know/understand the science, but because x amount of scientist say x you believe x. If 99% of scientist were for eugenics, would you support it?
Im not the person you are responding to, but I'll answer:
If the vast majority of scientists today all agreed that the most likely conclusion from a huge amount of peer reviewed and rigorously collected data showed eugenics to be the correct theory, yes of course I would agree with it being scientifically sound. I find the concept of eugenics unpalatable, but since I believe in following logic when forming opinions of what narrative is most likely to be the truth, not emotions, I would be forced to accept eugenics as the most likely story to be the truth.
However, I would then have a choice as to what to do about it. I wouldn't support policies that were discriminatory based on eugenics, despite my belief that the underlying differences causing people to create those discriminatory policies were valid.
However, you seem to find climate change to be emotionally unpalatable. So you seek out anybody who is a "scientist" who might agree with your emotional bias. You finally find that one scientist out of tens of thousands and latch onto him. Then you kick and scream that you are the one person who can see the entire scientific community is corrupt and perpetrating a massive conspiracy, despite their complete lack of motivation to do so.
If you were even remotely capable of logic, you would be commenting how man made climate change is real and will have serious impacts as it raises the average global temperature . Then you would suggest we make no attempt to stop or slow it for reasons X, Y, and Z.
TLDR: pick a better argument, you're either an absolute idiot, or you're a bit of an idiot as well as disingenuous.
Reading posts like this restores my hope in this website.

Being "for eugenics" is not a scientific position, dumb@ss. God you are stupid.

Back in 1984 we were all told that we were in danger of dying of AIDS and that is was a sexually transmitted disease. Almost everyone believed it and anyone who questions it, even now is subjected to... well, you know?
The reality is that as soon as the news people got hold of the idea back then, it was the end of any hope of intelligent debate on the issue.

Don't understand the reasoning behind eugenics? Hint: Darwinism

So, it was a rough late fall, winter and spring between 30 north latitude to 60 north latitude. That happens.

The Earth's atmosphere is pretty big. Releasing man made CO2 into the atmosphere isn't going to make everyone's ears pop.
yeah, global warming isnt aging too well...
seems like the target or name is continually changing to fit the agenda. not a good look
