@Ann_L_Stevenson @Suzierizzo1 Denial was dead of science near half century ago and the GOP is still there. Ideology and money.

When the Democrats have to always save the American people from what the Republicans have done to this Country and its economy! The proof has always been there for everyone to see with their own eyes.

@herotimeszero Everything he says is as true as their science for their denials on climate change. Meaning all lies, known distortions. He represents the GOP quite well

@SatireLives @ChrisGloninger wtf are you talking about? AGW is real is us is our burning fossil fuels . Read with comprehension

Let's dismantle this recycled denialist greatest hits compilation with actual science.
That "46 scientists REBEL" list has been circulating since the early 2000s - some quotes are literally 25 years old. Imagine using a 1999 flip phone to argue against current mobile technology.
Dr. Bogataj's CO2 lag quote? That's from ice core glacial cycles where orbital forcing triggers warming, oceans release CO2, which AMPLIFIES the warming. It's literally evidence FOR CO2 as a greenhouse gas. Climate Science 101.
"No acceleration in sea level rise"? Cool 1990s quote. Current data: 1993-2023 rate is 3.4mm/yr vs 1.7mm/yr previous century average. That's DOUBLE. Math still works.
Dr. Christy claiming "most IPCC scientists don't agree"? The IPCC involves THOUSANDS of scientists. Every Assessment Report is approved by 195 governments AND scientific authors. That's consensus with receipts. And his own UAH satellite data shows +0.14°C/decade warming since 1979. RSS satellite: +0.21°C/decade. Both datasets SUPPORT warming.
"The Sun is cooling" - you're absolutely right! Solar irradiance has been DECLINING since the 1980s while global temps keep rising. You just provided evidence AGAINST solar forcing. Thanks for the self-own.
Let's check those "natural forcings": Volcanic? Near zero. Solar? Declining. Orbital? 10,000-year timescales. Meanwhile CO2: 280ppm (pre-industrial) → 425ppm (2024). Isotopic signature? Fossil fuels. Case closed.
IPCC projection accuracy: The 1990 First Assessment projected 0.3°C warming by 2020. Actual? 0.3°C. Nailed it. 1995 projection? Nailed it. 2001? Nailed it. These models work.
"Wild swings then global cooling"? Earth just had its hottest year on record (2024), breaking 2023's record, which broke 2016's record. The 10 hottest years EVER recorded? All since 2010. That's not "wild swings" - that's a trend with a flamethrower attached.
The actual IPCC AR6 (2021-2023): 234 authors from 66 countries, 14,000+ cited papers, 78,000+ review comments. Confidence level on human-caused warming? "Unequivocal." Not 46 cherry-picked quotes from the '90s - the ENTIRE scientific literature.
Here's the tell: when you need to quote-mine 25-year-old statements, rip scientists out of context, and ignore two decades of data, observations, and physics... you're not doing science. You're doing apologetics.
The emperor has no clothes? The emperor is wearing a thermometer reading 1.2°C above pre-industrial. The real question is why you're still trying to sell us invisible fabric from the 1990s.

🚨BREAKING!!! 46 IPCC Scientists REBEL: The Climate Narrative is Crumbling from Within!🚨 Forty-six scientists tied to the IPCC have stepped away or spoken out because their evidence-based views clashed with the official alarmist script. They weren’t “listened to.” Their data didn’t fit the doom-and-gloom story pushed in the Summaries for Policymakers. Don’t trust me, read their own words here! ⬇️ Dr. Robert Balling: “The IPCC notes that ‘No significant acceleration in the rate of sea level rise during the 20th century has been detected.’ This did not appear in the IPCC Summary for Policymakers.” Dr. Lucka Bogataj: “Rising levels of airborne carbon dioxide don’t cause global temperatures to rise…. temperature changed first and some 700 years later a change in aerial content of carbon dioxide followed.” Dr. John Christy: “Little known to the public is the fact that most of the scientists involved with the IPCC do not agree that global warming is occurring. Its findings have been consistently misrepresented and/or politicized with each succeeding report.” Dr. Rosa Compagnucci: “Humans have only contributed a few tenths of a degree to warming on Earth. Solar activity is a key driver of climate.” Dr. Richard Courtney: “The empirical evidence strongly indicates that the anthropogenic global warming hypothesis is wrong.” Dr. Judith Curry: “I’m not going to just spout off and endorse the IPCC because I don’t have confidence in the process.” Dr. Robert Davis: “Global temperatures have not been changing as state of the art climate models predicted they would. Not a single mention of satellite temperature observations appears in the IPCC Summary for Policymakers.” Dr. Willem de Lange: “In 1996 the IPCC listed me as one of approximately 3000 ‘scientists’ who agreed that there was a discernible human influence on climate. I didn’t. There is no evidence to support the hypothesis that runaway catastrophic climate change is due to human activities.” Dr. Chris de Freitas: “Government decision-makers should have heard by now that the basis for the long-standing claim that carbon dioxide is a major driver of global climate is being questioned; along with it the hitherto assumed need for costly measures to restrict carbon dioxide emissions. If they have not heard, it is because of the din of global warming hysteria that relies on the logical fallacy of ‘argument from ignorance’ and predictions of computer models.” Dr. Oliver Frauenfeld: “Much more progress is necessary regarding our current understanding of climate and our abilities to model it.” Dr. Peter Dietze: “Using a flawed eddy diffusion model, the IPCC has grossly underestimated the future oceanic carbon dioxide uptake.” Dr. John Everett: “It is time for a reality check. The oceans and coastal zones have been far warmer and colder than is projected in the present scenarios of climate change. I have reviewed the IPCC and more recent scientific literature and believe that there is not a problem with increased acidification, even up to the unlikely levels in the most-used IPCC scenarios.” Dr. Eigil Friis-Christensen: “The IPCC refused to consider the sun’s effect on the Earth’s climate as a topic worthy of investigation. The IPCC conceived its task only as investigating potential human causes of climate change.” Yet the grift rolls on. New grads, indoctrinated in universities, keep repackaging the same scares for the next generation. “Consensus!” “The Science says!” Endless control through manufactured ignorance. Meanwhile, nature doesn’t care about the narrative. Natural forcings rule. The Sun is cooling. Jet stream gone meridional. Cosmic rays surging, seeding clouds. Result? Wild swings, then global cooling. The emperor has no clothes, and the scientists who know it are finally speaking up. 🔥 Original work from The Dragons Breathe Substack: open.substack.com/pub/thedragons…

@sunnshiiny 31H, 32T, 36% did not vote. Over 2/3rds of us saw Trump one and did not vote against Trump2. Democracy not a couch potato sport.

This is the exact same tactic used by Cambridge Analytica to harvest 180M personal data files from Americans and Brits in 2015 to steal the elections in Brexit 2016 and the US presidency in 2016.

@EnergiMedia It's just like a 2018 data heist by Cambridge Analytica. Same people too. Data breaches done in 3-parts: 1. data illegally given to unauthorized org 2. data then dropped on unsecure site 3. major conservative strategists then profle & fear-monger us using our data UCP Koch-Atlas

@Bots_Rule @OurShallowState Bye. Make stuff up with someone else. You stick with the outliers, I will trust the mainstream that have shown they are correct for over half a century.
English
@ddbetty @OurShallowState You say the opinion of Judith Curry (for example) is wrong.
English
My good friend Dave in the UK tells me that Trump's ultimatums, market manipulations, and disdain for NATO, as disturbing as they are, are less disturbing than the continued enablement of Trump by GOP elected officials. He says the global mindset among politically astute pro-democracy world citizens, is that it's the GOP Congress that is killing America.
Nobody weeps for the Iranian regime, Dave says, but the world sees the Iranian people as real flesh and blood people with families and dreams and emotions, they see Trump as disordered, his cabinet as unchecked, and the rest of the GOP as being purely motivated by politics and political gain without consideration of what's good or what's right.
Dave believes many GOP elected officials are in favor of staying in power by upending the midterm elections.

I meant to say property insurance, not property tax. That was my mistake.

My federal taxes were $2,900 higher this year and I made 20% less income than last year.
My property tax has tripled in six years.

@Bots_Rule @OurShallowState You seem to have never seen or read a real science paper in a real peer reviewed journal. You have no idea it seems of how thoroughly every step is documented.
English
@Bots_Rule @OurShallowState That requires reading with comprehension, papers that are very complex and detailed. Every step, every method, every material, the reason for the work, the data of the work, the analysis method of the calculations of the data, and the conclusions from the above. Not fit in 280.

Or - I get it - you never knew she existed until yesterday.
Why is what she has written wrong and your gods right?
