    Was it 1,100 scientists called for climate action? Because there are more than that declaring the so called climate crisis is just a political stunt!

    Here ya go :)

    International scientists have jointly signed a declaration dismissing the existence of a climate crisis and insisting that carbon dioxide is beneficial to Earth.

    “There is no climate emergency,” the Global Climate Intelligence Group (CLINTEL) said in its World Climate Declaration (pdf), made public in August. “Climate science should be less political, while climate policies should be more scientific.
    Scientists should openly address uncertainties and exaggerations in their predictions of global warming, while politicians should dispassionately count the real costs as well as the imagined benefits of their policy measures.”

    A total of 1,609 scientists and professionals from around the world have signed the declaration, including 321 from the United States.

    "Therefore, it is no surprise that we now are experiencing a period of warming," the declaration said.

    Warming is happening “far slower” than predicted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

    “Climate models have many shortcomings and are not remotely plausible as policy tools,” the coalition said, adding that these models "exaggerate the effect of greenhouse gases" and "ignore the fact that enriching the atmosphere with CO2 is beneficial.
    ” For instance, even though climate alarmists characterize CO2 as environmentally-damaging, the coalition pointed out that the gas is “not a pollutant.”

    Carbon dioxide is “essential” to all life on earth and is “favorable” for nature. Extra CO2 results in the growth of global plant biomass while also boosting the yields of crops worldwide.

    CLINTEL also dismissed the narrative of global warming being linked to increased natural disasters like hurricanes, floods, and droughts, stressing that there is “no statistical evidence” to support these claims.

    “There is no climate emergency. Therefore, there is no cause for panic and alarm. We strongly oppose the harmful and unrealistic net-zero CO2 policy proposed for 2050. Go for adaptation instead of mitigation; adaptation works whatever the causes are,”
    it said.

    “To believe the outcome of a climate model is to believe what the model makers have put in. This is precisely the problem of today’s climate discussion to which climate models are central. Climate science has degenerated into a discussion based on
    beliefs, not on sound self-critical science. Should not we free ourselves from the naive belief in immature climate models?”

    Climate Models and Sunlight Reflection
    Among the CLINTEL signatories are two Nobel laureates—physicists John Francis Clauser from the United States and Ivan Giaever, a Norwegian-American.

    Mr. Clauser has made a significant addition to climate models to dismiss the narrative of global warming: the visible light reflected by cumulus clouds which, on average, cover half of the earth.

    Current climate models vastly underestimate this aspect of cumulus cloud reflection, which plays a key role in regulating the earth’s temperature. Mr. Clauser previously told President Joe Biden that he disagreed with his climate policies.

    In May, Mr. Clauser was elected to the board of directors at the CO2 Coalition, a group focusing on the beneficial contributions of carbon dioxide in the environment.

    “The popular narrative about climate change reflects a dangerous corruption of science that threatens the world’s economy and the well-being of billions of people,” Mr. Clauser said in a May 5 statement.

    “Misguided climate science has metastasized into massive shock-journalistic pseudoscience. In turn, the pseudoscience has become a scapegoat for a wide variety of other unrelated ills.”

    “It has been promoted and extended by similarly misguided business marketing agents, politicians, journalists, government agencies, and environmentalists. In my opinion, there is no real climate crisis.”

    False Doomsday Predictions, a Presidential Issue
    CLINTEL’s declaration against the climate change narrative counters propaganda spread by climate alarmists who have long predicted doomsday scenarios triggered by global warming—none of which have ever come true.

    In 1970, some climate scientists predicted that the earth would move into a new ice age by the 21st century. Pollution expert James Lodge predicted that “air pollution may obliterate the sun and cause a new ice age in the first third of the new century,
    ” according to The Boston Globe.

    In May 1982, Mostafa Tolba, then-executive director of the United Nations environmental program, said that if the world did not change course, it would face an “environmental catastrophe which will witness devastation as complete, as irreversible, as
    any nuclear holocaust” by 2000.

    In June 2008, James Hansen, director of NASA's Goddard Institute of Space Sciences, said that within five to 10 years, the Arctic would have no ice left in the summer.

    As climate alarmists continue to spread propaganda about global warming, the topic has become an issue in the 2024 presidential race, with multiple candidates openly dismissing it.

    In a July 13 post on X, Democrat presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said that climate change “is being used to control us through fear.”

    “Freedom and free markets are a much better way to stop pollution. Polluters make themselves rich by making the public pay for the damage they do," he said.

    During the first 2024 GOP presidential debate, candidate Vivek Ramaswamy called climate change a “hoax.”

    “The reality is, the anti-carbon agenda is the wet blanket on our economy. And so the reality is, more people are dying of bad climate change policies than they are of actual climate change,” he said.

    High Temperatures, Biden’s Appliance Crackdown
    Climate activists have insisted that global warming is responsible for the soaring temperatures across the United States, even claiming that temperatures are hitting record highs.

    In a recent interview with The Epoch Times, John Christy, a climatologist and professor of atmospheric science at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, dismissed the narrative of record high temperatures.

    “Regionally, the West has seen its largest number of hot summer records in the past 100 years, but the Ohio Valley and Upper Midwest are experiencing their fewest,” he said.

    “For the conterminous U.S. as a whole, the last 10 years have produced only an average number of records. The 1930s are still champs.”

    Climate change policies have been used to justify sweeping lifestyle changes across the United States by the Energy Department, like restricting home appliances, and sometimes, even outright banning them.

    In June, the Energy Department proposed rules that would require ceiling fans to become more energy efficient, a development that could lead to manufacturers having to shell out $86.6 million per year in “increased equipment costs.”

    In February, the DOE proposed energy efficiency rules targeting gas stoves that would affect half of all new models of such stoves sold in the United States while making most of the existing ones noncompliant.

    In July, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission proposed a policy that would remove nearly all existing portable gas generators from the market.

    The Biden administration has already implemented a ban on incandescent light bulbs, which came into effect on Aug. 1.

    Here ya go :)

    International scientists have jointly signed a declaration dismissing the existence of a climate crisis and insisting that carbon dioxide is beneficial to Earth.

    “There is no climate emergency,” the Global Climate Intelligence Group (CLINTEL) said in its World Climate Declaration (pdf), made public in August. “Climate science should be less political, while climate policies should be more scientific.
    Scientists should openly address uncertainties and exaggerations in their predictions of global warming, while politicians should dispassionately count the real costs as well as the imagined benefits of their policy measures.”

    A total of 1,609 scientists and professionals from around the world have signed the declaration, including 321 from the United States.

    "Therefore, it is no surprise that we now are experiencing a period of warming," the declaration said.

    Warming is happening “far slower” than predicted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

    “Climate models have many shortcomings and are not remotely plausible as policy tools,” the coalition said, adding that these models "exaggerate the effect of greenhouse gases" and "ignore the fact that enriching the atmosphere with CO2 is beneficial.
    ” For instance, even though climate alarmists characterize CO2 as environmentally-damaging, the coalition pointed out that the gas is “not a pollutant.”

    Carbon dioxide is “essential” to all life on earth and is “favorable” for nature. Extra CO2 results in the growth of global plant biomass while also boosting the yields of crops worldwide.

    CLINTEL also dismissed the narrative of global warming being linked to increased natural disasters like hurricanes, floods, and droughts, stressing that there is “no statistical evidence” to support these claims.

    “There is no climate emergency. Therefore, there is no cause for panic and alarm. We strongly oppose the harmful and unrealistic net-zero CO2 policy proposed for 2050. Go for adaptation instead of mitigation; adaptation works whatever the causes are,”
    it said.

    “To believe the outcome of a climate model is to believe what the model makers have put in. This is precisely the problem of today’s climate discussion to which climate models are central. Climate science has degenerated into a discussion based on
    beliefs, not on sound self-critical science. Should not we free ourselves from the naive belief in immature climate models?”

    Climate Models and Sunlight Reflection
    Among the CLINTEL signatories are two Nobel laureates—physicists John Francis Clauser from the United States and Ivan Giaever, a Norwegian-American.

    Mr. Clauser has made a significant addition to climate models to dismiss the narrative of global warming: the visible light reflected by cumulus clouds which, on average, cover half of the earth.

    Current climate models vastly underestimate this aspect of cumulus cloud reflection, which plays a key role in regulating the earth’s temperature. Mr. Clauser previously told President Joe Biden that he disagreed with his climate policies.

    In May, Mr. Clauser was elected to the board of directors at the CO2 Coalition, a group focusing on the beneficial contributions of carbon dioxide in the environment.

    “The popular narrative about climate change reflects a dangerous corruption of science that threatens the world’s economy and the well-being of billions of people,” Mr. Clauser said in a May 5 statement.

    “Misguided climate science has metastasized into massive shock-journalistic pseudoscience. In turn, the pseudoscience has become a scapegoat for a wide variety of other unrelated ills.”

    “It has been promoted and extended by similarly misguided business marketing agents, politicians, journalists, government agencies, and environmentalists. In my opinion, there is no real climate crisis.”

    False Doomsday Predictions, a Presidential Issue
    CLINTEL’s declaration against the climate change narrative counters propaganda spread by climate alarmists who have long predicted doomsday scenarios triggered by global warming—none of which have ever come true.

    In 1970, some climate scientists predicted that the earth would move into a new ice age by the 21st century. Pollution expert James Lodge predicted that “air pollution may obliterate the sun and cause a new ice age in the first third of the new
    century,” according to The Boston Globe.

    In May 1982, Mostafa Tolba, then-executive director of the United Nations environmental program, said that if the world did not change course, it would face an “environmental catastrophe which will witness devastation as complete, as irreversible, as
    any nuclear holocaust” by 2000.

    In June 2008, James Hansen, director of NASA's Goddard Institute of Space Sciences, said that within five to 10 years, the Arctic would have no ice left in the summer.

    As climate alarmists continue to spread propaganda about global warming, the topic has become an issue in the 2024 presidential race, with multiple candidates openly dismissing it.

    In a July 13 post on X, Democrat presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said that climate change “is being used to control us through fear.”

    “Freedom and free markets are a much better way to stop pollution. Polluters make themselves rich by making the public pay for the damage they do," he said.

    During the first 2024 GOP presidential debate, candidate Vivek Ramaswamy called climate change a “hoax.”

    “The reality is, the anti-carbon agenda is the wet blanket on our economy. And so the reality is, more people are dying of bad climate change policies than they are of actual climate change,” he said.

    High Temperatures, Biden’s Appliance Crackdown
    Climate activists have insisted that global warming is responsible for the soaring temperatures across the United States, even claiming that temperatures are hitting record highs.

    In a recent interview with The Epoch Times, John Christy, a climatologist and professor of atmospheric science at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, dismissed the narrative of record high temperatures.

    “Regionally, the West has seen its largest number of hot summer records in the past 100 years, but the Ohio Valley and Upper Midwest are experiencing their fewest,” he said.

    “For the conterminous U.S. as a whole, the last 10 years have produced only an average number of records. The 1930s are still champs.”

    Climate change policies have been used to justify sweeping lifestyle changes across the United States by the Energy Department, like restricting home appliances, and sometimes, even outright banning them.

    In June, the Energy Department proposed rules that would require ceiling fans to become more energy efficient, a development that could lead to manufacturers having to shell out $86.6 million per year in “increased equipment costs.”

    In February, the DOE proposed energy efficiency rules targeting gas stoves that would affect half of all new models of such stoves sold in the United States while making most of the existing ones noncompliant.

    In July, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission proposed a policy that would remove nearly all existing portable gas generators from the market.

    The Biden administration has already implemented a ban on incandescent light bulbs, which came into effect on Aug. 1.

    Here ya go :)

    International scientists have jointly signed a declaration dismissing the existence of a climate crisis and insisting that carbon dioxide is beneficial to Earth.

    “There is no climate emergency,” the Global Climate Intelligence Group (CLINTEL) said in its World Climate Declaration (pdf), made public in August. “Climate science should be less political, while climate policies should be more scientific.
    Scientists should openly address uncertainties and exaggerations in their predictions of global warming, while politicians should dispassionately count the real costs as well as the imagined benefits of their policy measures.”

    A total of 1,609 scientists and professionals from around the world have signed the declaration, including 321 from the United States.

    "Therefore, it is no surprise that we now are experiencing a period of warming," the declaration said.

    Warming is happening “far slower” than predicted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

    “Climate models have many shortcomings and are not remotely plausible as policy tools,” the coalition said, adding that these models "exaggerate the effect of greenhouse gases" and "ignore the fact that enriching the atmosphere with CO2 is

    Carbon dioxide is “essential” to all life on earth and is “favorable” for nature. Extra CO2 results in the growth of global plant biomass while also boosting the yields of crops worldwide.

    “There is no climate emergency. Therefore, there is no cause for panic and alarm. We strongly oppose the harmful and unrealistic net-zero CO2 policy proposed for 2050. Go for adaptation instead of mitigation; adaptation works whatever the causes are,

    Here ya go :)

    International scientists have jointly signed a declaration dismissing the >>>existence of a climate crisis and insisting that carbon dioxide is beneficial
    to Earth.

    “There is no climate emergency,” the Global Climate Intelligence Group
    (CLINTEL) said in its World Climate Declaration (pdf), made public in August.
    “Climate science should be less political, while climate policies should be
    more scientific. Scientists should openly address uncertainties and >>>exaggerations in their predictions of global warming, while politicians should
    dispassionately count the real costs as well as the imagined benefits of their
    policy measures.”

    A total of 1,609 scientists and professionals from around the world have >>>signed the declaration, including 321 from the United States.

    "Therefore, it is no surprise that we now are experiencing a period of >>>warming," the declaration said.

    Warming is happening “far slower” than predicted by the Intergovernmental
    Panel on Climate Change.

    “Climate models have many shortcomings and are not remotely plausible as
    policy tools,” the coalition said, adding that these models "exaggerate the
    effect of greenhouse gases" and "ignore the fact that enriching the atmosphere
    with CO2 is beneficial.” For instance, even though climate alarmists >>>characterize CO2 as environmentally-damaging, the coalition pointed out that
    the gas is “not a pollutant.”

    Carbon dioxide is “essential” to all life on earth and is “favorable” for
    nature. Extra CO2 results in the growth of global plant biomass while also
    boosting the yields of crops worldwide.

    CLINTEL also dismissed the narrative of global warming being linked to >>>increased natural disasters like hurricanes, floods, and droughts, stressing
    that there is “no statistical evidence” to support these claims.

    “There is no climate emergency. Therefore, there is no cause for panic and
    alarm. We strongly oppose the harmful and unrealistic net-zero CO2 policy >>>proposed for 2050. Go for adaptation instead of mitigation; adaptation works
    whatever the causes are,” it said.

    “To believe the outcome of a climate model is to believe what the model >>>makers have put in. This is precisely the problem of today’s climate discussion
    to which climate models are central. Climate science has degenerated into a
    discussion based on beliefs, not on sound self-critical science. Should not we
    free ourselves from the naive belief in immature climate models?”

    Climate Models and Sunlight Reflection
    Among the CLINTEL signatories are two Nobel laureates—physicists John Francis
    Clauser from the United States and Ivan Giaever, a Norwegian-American. >>>
    Mr. Clauser has made a significant addition to climate models to dismiss the
    narrative of global warming: the visible light reflected by cumulus clouds
    which, on average, cover half of the earth.

    Current climate models vastly underestimate this aspect of cumulus cloud >>>reflection, which plays a key role in regulating the earth’s temperature. Mr.
    Clauser previously told President Joe Biden that he disagreed with his climate
    policies.

    In May, Mr. Clauser was elected to the board of directors at the CO2 >>>Coalition, a group focusing on the beneficial contributions of carbon dioxide
    in the environment.

    “The popular narrative about climate change reflects a dangerous corruption
    of science that threatens the world’s economy and the well-being of billions of
    people,” Mr. Clauser said in a May 5 statement.

    “Misguided climate science has metastasized into massive shock-journalistic
    pseudoscience. In turn, the pseudoscience has become a scapegoat for a wide
    variety of other unrelated ills.”

    “It has been promoted and extended by similarly misguided business marketing
    agents, politicians, journalists, government agencies, and environmentalists.
    In my opinion, there is no real climate crisis.”

    A total of 1,609 scientists and professionals from around the world have
    signed the declaration, including 321 from the United States.

    "Therefore, it is no surprise that we now are experiencing a period of

    CLINTEL also dismissed the narrative of global warming being linked to

    There is no climate emergency. Therefore, there is no cause for panic
    and
    alarm. We strongly oppose the harmful and unrealistic net-zero CO2
    policy
    proposed for 2050. Go for adaptation instead of mitigation; adaptation
    works
    whatever the causes are, it said.

    Misguided climate science has metastasized into massive

    variety of other unrelated ills.

    It has been promoted and extended by similarly misguided business

    And so the reality is, more people are dying of bad climate change
    policies
    than they are of actual climate change, he said.

    High Temperatures, Bidens Appliance Crackdown
    Climate activists have insisted that global warming is responsible for
    the
    soaring temperatures across the United States, even claiming that
    temperatures
    are hitting record highs.

    In a recent interview with The Epoch Times, John Christy, a
    climatologist
    and
    professor of atmospheric science at the University of Alabama in
    Huntsville,
    dismissed the narrative of record high temperatures.

    Regionally, the West has seen its largest number of hot summer
    records in
    the past 100 years, but the Ohio Valley and Upper Midwest are
    experiencing
    their fewest, he said.

    For the conterminous U.S. as a whole, the last 10 years have produced

    Carbon dioxide is “essential” to all life on earth and is

    As climate alarmists continue to spread propaganda about global
    warming,
    the
    topic has become an issue in the 2024 presidential race, with
    multiple
    candidates openly dismissing it.

    In a July 13 post on X, Democrat presidential candidate Robert F.
    Kennedy
    Jr.
    said that climate change “is being used to control us through

    And so the reality is, more people are dying of bad climate change
    policies
    than they are of actual climate change,” he said.

    High Temperatures, Biden’s Appliance Crackdown
    Climate activists have insisted that global warming is responsible
    for
    the
    soaring temperatures across the United States, even claiming that
    temperatures
    are hitting record highs.

    In a recent interview with The Epoch Times, John Christy, a
    climatologist
    and
    professor of atmospheric science at the University of Alabama in
    Huntsville,
    dismissed the narrative of record high temperatures.

    “Regionally, the West has seen its largest number of hot summer
    records in
    the past 100 years, but the Ohio Valley and Upper Midwest are
    experiencing
    their fewest,” he said.

    “For the conterminous U.S. as a whole, the last 10 years have
    produced
    only
    an average number of records. The 1930s are still champs.”

    market.

    The Biden administration has already implemented a ban on
    incandescent
    light
    bulbs, which came into effect on Aug. 1.

    Here ya go :)

    International scientists have jointly signed a declaration dismissing
    the
    existence of a climate crisis and insisting that carbon dioxide is
    beneficial
    to Earth.

    “There is no climate emergency,” the Global Climate Intelligence
    Group
    (CLINTEL) said in its World Climate Declaration (pdf), made public in
    August.
    “Climate science should be less political, while climate policies
    should be
    more scientific. Scientists should openly address uncertainties and
    exaggerations in their predictions of global warming, while politicians
    should
    dispassionately count the real costs as well as the imagined benefits of
    their
    policy measures.”

    CLINTEL also dismissed the narrative of global warming being linked to
    increased natural disasters like hurricanes, floods, and droughts,
    stressing
    that there is “no statistical evidence” to support these claims.

    “There is no climate emergency. Therefore, there is no cause for panic
    and
    alarm. We strongly oppose the harmful and unrealistic net-zero CO2
    policy
    proposed for 2050. Go for adaptation instead of mitigation; adaptation
    works
    whatever the causes are,” it said.

    “To believe the outcome of a climate model is to believe what the
    model

    discussion
    to which climate models are central. Climate science has degenerated
    into a

    not
    we
    free ourselves from the naive belief in immature climate models?”

    Climate Models and Sunlight Reflection
    Among the CLINTEL signatories are two Nobel laureates—physicists John
    Francis
    Clauser from the United States and Ivan Giaever, a Norwegian-American.

    Mr. Clauser has made a significant addition to climate models to dismiss
    the
    narrative of global warming: the visible light reflected by cumulus
    clouds
    which, on average, cover half of the earth.

    Current climate models vastly underestimate this aspect of cumulus cloud
    reflection, which plays a key role in regulating the earth’s >> >> >> >>>>temperature.
    Mr.
    Clauser previously told President Joe Biden that he disagreed with his
    climate
    policies.

    In May, Mr. Clauser was elected to the board of directors at the CO2
    Coalition, a group focusing on the beneficial contributions of carbon
    dioxide
    in the environment.

    “The popular narrative about climate change reflects a dangerous
    corruption
    of science that threatens the world’s economy and the well-being of
    billions of
    people,” Mr. Clauser said in a May 5 statement.

    “Misguided climate science has metastasized into massive
    shock-journalistic
    pseudoscience. In turn, the pseudoscience has become a scapegoat for a
    wide
    variety of other unrelated ills.”

    “It has been promoted and extended by similarly misguided business
    marketing
    agents, politicians, journalists, government agencies, and
    environmentalists.
    In my opinion, there is no real climate crisis.”

    False Doomsday Predictions, a Presidential Issue
    CLINTEL’s declaration against the climate change narrative counters
    propaganda spread by climate alarmists who have long predicted doomsday
    scenarios triggered by global warming—none of which have ever come
    true.

    In 1970, some climate scientists predicted that the earth would move
    into a
    new ice age by the 21st century. Pollution expert James Lodge predicted
    that
    “air pollution may obliterate the sun and cause a new ice age in the
    first
    third of the new century,” according to The Boston Globe.

    In May 1982, Mostafa Tolba, then-executive director of the United
    Nations
    environmental program, said that if the world did not change course, it
    would
    face an “environmental catastrophe which will witness devastation as
    complete,
    as irreversible, as any nuclear holocaust” by 2000.

    In June 2008, James Hansen, director of NASA's Goddard Institute of
    Space
    Sciences, said that within five to 10 years, the Arctic would have no
    ice
    left
    in the summer.

    As climate alarmists continue to spread propaganda about global warming,
    the
    topic has become an issue in the 2024 presidential race, with multiple
    candidates openly dismissing it.

    In a July 13 post on X, Democrat presidential candidate Robert F.
    Kennedy
    Jr.
    said that climate change “is being used to control us through fear.”

    “Freedom and free markets are a much better way to stop pollution.
    Polluters
    make themselves rich by making the public pay for the damage they do,"
    he
    said.

    During the first 2024 GOP presidential debate, candidate Vivek Ramaswamy
    called climate change a “hoax.”

    “The reality is, the anti-carbon agenda is the wet blanket on our
    economy.
    And so the reality is, more people are dying of bad climate change
    policies
    than they are of actual climate change,” he said.

    High Temperatures, Biden’s Appliance Crackdown
    Climate activists have insisted that global warming is responsible for
    the
    soaring temperatures across the United States, even claiming that
    temperatures
    are hitting record highs.

    In a recent interview with The Epoch Times, John Christy, a
    climatologist
    and
    professor of atmospheric science at the University of Alabama in
    Huntsville,
    dismissed the narrative of record high temperatures.

    “Regionally, the West has seen its largest number of hot summer
    records in
    the past 100 years, but the Ohio Valley and Upper Midwest are >> >> >> >>>>experiencing
    their fewest,” he said.

    “For the conterminous U.S. as a whole, the last 10 years have produced
    only
    an average number of records. The 1930s are still champs.”

    Climate change policies have been used to justify sweeping lifestyle
    changes
    across the United States by the Energy Department, like restricting home
    appliances, and sometimes, even outright banning them.

    In June, the Energy Department proposed rules that would require ceiling
    fans
    to become more energy efficient, a development that could lead to
    manufacturers
    having to shell out $86.6 million per year in “increased equipment
    costs.”

    In February, the DOE proposed energy efficiency rules targeting gas
    stoves
    that would affect half of all new models of such stoves sold in the
    United
    States while making most of the existing ones noncompliant.

    In July, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission proposed a policy
    that
    would remove nearly all existing portable gas generators from the
    market.

    The Biden administration has already implemented a ban on incandescent
    light
    bulbs, which came into effect on Aug. 1.

    Enogh people in agreement makes it so.

    This the conditional point I was presenting, requiring no further comment. IOW, it stands on its own self-evident merits.
    Absolutely - but Tony is a bit of a flat-earther . . .he does not do
    conditional
    Speaking for yourself again I see Rich :)
    Indeed, I was expressing my observations about Tony; and history of nz.general demonstrates that where Tony goes so John Bowes follows.

    As do you Rich. So as usual you fail to practice what you preach. It's be nice if for once in your failed life you did...

    Now you and Tony may have a different opinion, but 2 to 1 is not
    conclusive - understand?

    So you follow in Ardern's grubby footsteps and put yourself forward as the only source of truth? So typical of liars like you and Ardern deny the bloody obvious, that you can never believe liars. They will tell you black is white and red is blue. They
    can NEVER be trusted!

    Funny but almost always it's actually 6 to 1 which is a consensus that indicates you not only lie but also have a tendency to not have clue about what you're supposedly debating. But that doesn't surprise anyone in the ng when closed minded Marxists
    like you are posting!

    Here ya go :)

    International scientists have jointly signed a declaration dismissing
    the
    existence of a climate crisis and insisting that carbon dioxide is >> >> >>>>beneficial
    to Earth.

    “There is no climate emergency,” the Global Climate Intelligence
    Group
    (CLINTEL) said in its World Climate Declaration (pdf), made public in
    August.
    “Climate science should be less political, while climate policies
    should be
    more scientific. Scientists should openly address uncertainties and
    exaggerations in their predictions of global warming, while politicians
    should
    dispassionately count the real costs as well as the imagined benefits of
    their
    policy measures.”

    A total of 1,609 scientists and professionals from around the world have
    signed the declaration, including 321 from the United States.

    "Therefore, it is no surprise that we now are experiencing a period of
    warming," the declaration said.

    Warming is happening “far slower” than predicted by the
    Intergovernmental
    Panel on Climate Change.

    “Climate models have many shortcomings and are not remotely plausible
    as
    policy tools,” the coalition said, adding that these models
    "exaggerate the
    effect of greenhouse gases" and "ignore the fact that enriching the
    atmosphere
    with CO2 is beneficial.” For instance, even though climate alarmists
    characterize CO2 as environmentally-damaging, the coalition pointed out
    that
    the gas is “not a pollutant.”

    Carbon dioxide is “essential” to all life on earth and is
    “favorable” for
    nature. Extra CO2 results in the growth of global plant biomass while
    also
    boosting the yields of crops worldwide.

    CLINTEL also dismissed the narrative of global warming being linked to
    increased natural disasters like hurricanes, floods, and droughts, >> >> >>>>stressing
    that there is “no statistical evidence” to support these claims.

    “There is no climate emergency. Therefore, there is no cause for panic
    and
    alarm. We strongly oppose the harmful and unrealistic net-zero CO2 >> >> >>>>policy
    proposed for 2050. Go for adaptation instead of mitigation; adaptation
    works
    whatever the causes are,” it said.

    “To believe the outcome of a climate model is to believe what the
    model
    makers have put in. This is precisely the problem of today’s climate
    discussion
    to which climate models are central. Climate science has degenerated
    into a
    discussion based on beliefs, not on sound self-critical science. Should
    not
    we
    free ourselves from the naive belief in immature climate models?”

    Climate Models and Sunlight Reflection
    Among the CLINTEL signatories are two Nobel laureates—physicists John
    Francis
    Clauser from the United States and Ivan Giaever, a Norwegian-American.

    Mr. Clauser has made a significant addition to climate models to dismiss
    the
    narrative of global warming: the visible light reflected by cumulus
    clouds
    which, on average, cover half of the earth.

    Current climate models vastly underestimate this aspect of cumulus cloud
    reflection, which plays a key role in regulating the earth’s
    temperature.
    Mr.
    Clauser previously told President Joe Biden that he disagreed with his
    climate
    policies.

    In May, Mr. Clauser was elected to the board of directors at the CO2
    Coalition, a group focusing on the beneficial contributions of carbon
    dioxide
    in the environment.

    “The popular narrative about climate change reflects a dangerous >> >> >>>>corruption
    of science that threatens the world’s economy and the well-being of
    billions of
    people,” Mr. Clauser said in a May 5 statement.

    “Misguided climate science has metastasized into massive
    shock-journalistic
    pseudoscience. In turn, the pseudoscience has become a scapegoat for a
    wide
    variety of other unrelated ills.”

    “It has been promoted and extended by similarly misguided business
    marketing
    agents, politicians, journalists, government agencies, and
    environmentalists.
    In my opinion, there is no real climate crisis.”

    False Doomsday Predictions, a Presidential Issue
    CLINTEL’s declaration against the climate change narrative counters
    propaganda spread by climate alarmists who have long predicted doomsday
    scenarios triggered by global warming—none of which have ever come
    true.

    In 1970, some climate scientists predicted that the earth would move
    into a
    new ice age by the 21st century. Pollution expert James Lodge predicted
    that
    “air pollution may obliterate the sun and cause a new ice age in the
    first
    third of the new century,” according to The Boston Globe.

    environmental program, said that if the world did not change course, it
    would
    face an “environmental catastrophe which will witness devastation as
    complete,
    as irreversible, as any nuclear holocaust” by 2000.

    In June 2008, James Hansen, director of NASA's Goddard Institute of
    Space
    Sciences, said that within five to 10 years, the Arctic would have no
    ice
    left
    in the summer.

    As climate alarmists continue to spread propaganda about global warming,
    the
    topic has become an issue in the 2024 presidential race, with multiple
    candidates openly dismissing it.

    In a July 13 post on X, Democrat presidential candidate Robert F. >> >> >>>>Kennedy
    Jr.
    said that climate change “is being used to control us through fear.”

    “Freedom and free markets are a much better way to stop pollution.
    Polluters
    make themselves rich by making the public pay for the damage they do,"
    he
    said.

    During the first 2024 GOP presidential debate, candidate Vivek Ramaswamy
    called climate change a “hoax.”

    “The reality is, the anti-carbon agenda is the wet blanket on our
    economy.
    And so the reality is, more people are dying of bad climate change >> >> >>>>policies

    Here ya go :)

    International scientists have jointly signed a declaration
    dismissing
    the
    existence of a climate crisis and insisting that carbon dioxide is
    beneficial
    to Earth.

    “There is no climate emergency,” the Global Climate
    Intelligence
    Group
    (CLINTEL) said in its World Climate Declaration (pdf), made public
    in
    August.
    “Climate science should be less political, while climate
    policies
    should be
    more scientific. Scientists should openly address uncertainties >> >> >> >>>>and
    exaggerations in their predictions of global warming, while
    politicians
    should
    dispassionately count the real costs as well as the imagined
    benefits of
    their
    policy measures.”

    A total of 1,609 scientists and professionals from around the >> >> >> >>>>world have
    signed the declaration, including 321 from the United States. >> >> >> >>>>
    "Therefore, it is no surprise that we now are experiencing a
    period of
    warming," the declaration said.

    Warming is happening “far slower” than predicted by the
    Intergovernmental
    Panel on Climate Change.

    “Climate models have many shortcomings and are not remotely >> >> >> >>>>plausible
    as
    policy tools,” the coalition said, adding that these models >> >> >> >>>>"exaggerate the
    effect of greenhouse gases" and "ignore the fact that enriching >> >> >> >>>>the
    atmosphere
    with CO2 is beneficial.” For instance, even though climate
    alarmists
    characterize CO2 as environmentally-damaging, the coalition
    pointed out
    that
    the gas is “not a pollutant.”

    Carbon dioxide is “essential” to all life on earth and is >> >> >> >>>>“favorable” for
    nature. Extra CO2 results in the growth of global plant biomass >> >> >> >>>>while
    also
    boosting the yields of crops worldwide.

    CLINTEL also dismissed the narrative of global warming being
    linked to
    increased natural disasters like hurricanes, floods, and droughts,
    stressing
    that there is “no statistical evidence” to support these
    claims.

    “There is no climate emergency. Therefore, there is no cause for
    panic
    and
    alarm. We strongly oppose the harmful and unrealistic net-zero CO2
    policy
    proposed for 2050. Go for adaptation instead of mitigation;
    adaptation
    works
    whatever the causes are,” it said.

    “To believe the outcome of a climate model is to believe what >> >> >> >>>>the
    model
    makers have put in. This is precisely the problem of today’s >> >> >> >>>>climate
    discussion
    to which climate models are central. Climate science has
    degenerated
    into a
    discussion based on beliefs, not on sound self-critical science.
    Should
    not
    we
    free ourselves from the naive belief in immature climate
    models?”

    Climate Models and Sunlight Reflection
    Among the CLINTEL signatories are two Nobel laureates—physicists
    John
    Francis
    Clauser from the United States and Ivan Giaever, a
    Norwegian-American.

    Mr. Clauser has made a significant addition to climate models to
    dismiss
    the
    narrative of global warming: the visible light reflected by
    cumulus
    clouds
    which, on average, cover half of the earth.

    Current climate models vastly underestimate this aspect of cumulus
    cloud
    reflection, which plays a key role in regulating the earth’s >> >> >> >>>>temperature.
    Mr.
    Clauser previously told President Joe Biden that he disagreed with
    his
    climate
    policies.

    In May, Mr. Clauser was elected to the board of directors at the
    CO2
    Coalition, a group focusing on the beneficial contributions of >> >> >> >>>>carbon
    dioxide
    in the environment.

    “The popular narrative about climate change reflects a dangerous
    corruption
    of science that threatens the world’s economy and the well-being
    of
    billions of
    people,” Mr. Clauser said in a May 5 statement.

    “Misguided climate science has metastasized into massive
    shock-journalistic
    pseudoscience. In turn, the pseudoscience has become a scapegoat
    for a
    wide
    variety of other unrelated ills.”

    “It has been promoted and extended by similarly misguided
    business
    marketing
    agents, politicians, journalists, government agencies, and
    environmentalists.
    In my opinion, there is no real climate crisis.”

    False Doomsday Predictions, a Presidential Issue
    CLINTEL’s declaration against the climate change narrative
    counters
    propaganda spread by climate alarmists who have long predicted >> >> >> >>>>doomsday
    scenarios triggered by global warming—none of which have ever >> >> >> >>>>come

    that
    “air pollution may obliterate the sun and cause a new ice age in
    the
    first
    third of the new century,” according to The Boston Globe.

    In May 1982, Mostafa Tolba, then-executive director of the United
    Nations
    environmental program, said that if the world did not change
    course, it
    would
    face an “environmental catastrophe which will witness
    devastation as
    complete,
    as irreversible, as any nuclear holocaust” by 2000.

    In June 2008, James Hansen, director of NASA's Goddard Institute
    of
    Space
    Sciences, said that within five to 10 years, the Arctic would have
    no
    ice
    left
    in the summer.

    Kennedy
    Jr.
    said that climate change “is being used to control us through >> >> >> >>>>fear.”

    “Freedom and free markets are a much better way to stop
    pollution.
    Polluters
    make themselves rich by making the public pay for the damage they

    he
    said.

    “The reality is, the anti-carbon agenda is the wet blanket on >> >> >> >>>>our
    economy.
    And so the reality is, more people are dying of bad climate change
    policies
    than they are of actual climate change,” he said.

    High Temperatures, Biden’s Appliance Crackdown
    Climate activists have insisted that global warming is responsible
    for
    the
    soaring temperatures across the United States, even claiming that
    temperatures
    are hitting record highs.

    In a recent interview with The Epoch Times, John Christy, a
    climatologist
    and
    professor of atmospheric science at the University of Alabama in
    Huntsville,
    dismissed the narrative of record high temperatures.

    “Regionally, the West has seen its largest number of hot summer
    records in
    the past 100 years, but the Ohio Valley and Upper Midwest are >> >> >> >>>>experiencing
    their fewest,” he said.

    “For the conterminous U.S. as a whole, the last 10 years have >> >> >> >>>>produced
    only
    an average number of records. The 1930s are still champs.”

    Climate change policies have been used to justify sweeping
    lifestyle
    changes
    across the United States by the Energy Department, like
    restricting home
    appliances, and sometimes, even outright banning them.

    In June, the Energy Department proposed rules that would require
    ceiling
    fans
    to become more energy efficient, a development that could lead to
    manufacturers
    having to shell out $86.6 million per year in “increased
    equipment
    costs.”

    In February, the DOE proposed energy efficiency rules targeting >> >> >> >>>>gas
    stoves
    that would affect half of all new models of such stoves sold in >> >> >> >>>>the
    United
    States while making most of the existing ones noncompliant.

    In July, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission proposed a >> >> >> >>>>policy
    that
    would remove nearly all existing portable gas generators from the
    market.

    The Biden administration has already implemented a ban on
    incandescent
    light
    bulbs, which came into effect on Aug. 1.

    Here ya go :)

    International scientists have jointly signed a declaration
    dismissing
    the
    existence of a climate crisis and insisting that carbon
    dioxide is
    beneficial
    to Earth.

    “There is no climate emergency,” the Global Climate
    Intelligence
    Group
    (CLINTEL) said in its World Climate Declaration (pdf), made >> > >> >> >> >>>>public
    in
    August.
    “Climate science should be less political, while climate
    policies
    should be
    more scientific. Scientists should openly address

    exaggerations in their predictions of global warming, while >> > >> >> >> >>>>politicians

    nature. Extra CO2 results in the growth of global plant
    biomass
    while
    also
    boosting the yields of crops worldwide.

    CLINTEL also dismissed the narrative of global warming being >> > >> >> >> >>>>linked to
    increased natural disasters like hurricanes, floods, and
    droughts,
    stressing
    that there is “no statistical evidence” to support these >> > >> >> >> >>>>claims.

    “There is no climate emergency. Therefore, there is no
    cause for
    panic
    and
    alarm. We strongly oppose the harmful and unrealistic
    net-zero CO2
    policy
    proposed for 2050. Go for adaptation instead of mitigation; >> > >> >> >> >>>>adaptation
    works
    whatever the causes are,” it said.

    “To believe the outcome of a climate model is to believe
    what
    the
    model
    makers have put in. This is precisely the problem of
    today’s
    climate
    discussion
    to which climate models are central. Climate science has
    degenerated
    into a
    discussion based on beliefs, not on sound self-critical
    science.
    Should
    not
    we
    free ourselves from the naive belief in immature climate
    models?”

    Climate Models and Sunlight Reflection
    Among the CLINTEL signatories are two Nobel
    laureates—physicists
    John
    Francis
    Clauser from the United States and Ivan Giaever, a
    Norwegian-American.

    Mr. Clauser has made a significant addition to climate models >> > >> >> >> >>>>to
    dismiss
    the
    narrative of global warming: the visible light reflected by >> > >> >> >> >>>>cumulus
    clouds
    which, on average, cover half of the earth.

    Current climate models vastly underestimate this aspect of
    cumulus
    cloud
    reflection, which plays a key role in regulating the
    earth’s
    temperature.
    Mr.
    Clauser previously told President Joe Biden that he disagreed >> > >> >> >> >>>>with
    his
    climate
    policies.

    In May, Mr. Clauser was elected to the board of directors at >> > >> >> >> >>>>the
    CO2
    Coalition, a group focusing on the beneficial contributions >> > >> >> >> >>>>of
    carbon
    dioxide
    in the environment.

    “The popular narrative about climate change reflects a
    dangerous
    corruption
    of science that threatens the world’s economy and the
    well-being
    of
    billions of
    people,” Mr. Clauser said in a May 5 statement.

    “Misguided climate science has metastasized into massive
    shock-journalistic
    pseudoscience. In turn, the pseudoscience has become a
    scapegoat
    for a
    wide
    variety of other unrelated ills.”

    “It has been promoted and extended by similarly misguided >> > >> >> >> >>>>business
    marketing
    agents, politicians, journalists, government agencies, and
    environmentalists.
    In my opinion, there is no real climate crisis.”

    False Doomsday Predictions, a Presidential Issue
    CLINTEL’s declaration against the climate change narrative >> > >> >> >> >>>>counters
    propaganda spread by climate alarmists who have long
    predicted
    doomsday
    scenarios triggered by global warming—none of which have
    ever
    come
    true.

    In 1970, some climate scientists predicted that the earth

    As climate alarmists continue to spread propaganda about
    global
    warming,
    the
    topic has become an issue in the 2024 presidential race, with >> > >> >> >> >>>>multiple
    candidates openly dismissing it.

    In a July 13 post on X, Democrat presidential candidate
    Robert F.
    Kennedy
    Jr.
    said that climate change “is being used to control us
    through
    fear.”

    “Freedom and free markets are a much better way to stop
    pollution.
    Polluters
    make themselves rich by making the public pay for the damage >> > >> >> >> >>>>they
    do,"
    he
    said.

    During the first 2024 GOP presidential debate, candidate
    Vivek
    Ramaswamy
    called climate change a “hoax.”

    “The reality is, the anti-carbon agenda is the wet blanket >> > >> >> >> >>>>on
    our
    economy.
    And so the reality is, more people are dying of bad climate >> > >> >> >> >>>>change
    policies
    than they are of actual climate change,” he said.

    High Temperatures, Biden’s Appliance Crackdown
    Climate activists have insisted that global warming is
    responsible
    for
    the
    soaring temperatures across the United States, even claiming >> > >> >> >> >>>>that
    temperatures
    are hitting record highs.

    In a recent interview with The Epoch Times, John Christy, a >> > >> >> >> >>>>climatologist
    and

    Huntsville,
    dismissed the narrative of record high temperatures.

    “Regionally, the West has seen its largest number of hot
    summer
    records in
    the past 100 years, but the Ohio Valley and Upper Midwest are >> > >> >> >> >>>>experiencing
    their fewest,” he said.

    “For the conterminous U.S. as a whole, the last 10 years
    have
    produced
    only
    an average number of records. The 1930s are still champs.” >> > >> >> >> >>>>
    Climate change policies have been used to justify sweeping
    lifestyle
    changes
    across the United States by the Energy Department, like
    restricting home
    appliances, and sometimes, even outright banning them.

    In June, the Energy Department proposed rules that would
    require
    ceiling
    fans
    to become more energy efficient, a development that could
    lead to
    manufacturers
    having to shell out $86.6 million per year in “increased
    equipment
    costs.”

    In February, the DOE proposed energy efficiency rules
    targeting
    gas
    stoves
    that would affect half of all new models of such stoves sold >> > >> >> >> >>>>in

    The Biden administration has already implemented a ban on
    incandescent
    light
    bulbs, which came into effect on Aug. 1.

    None of which disproves John's evidence.

    In some circumstances, maybe.

    Enogh people in agreement makes it so.

    This the conditional point I was presenting, requiring no further
    comment.
    IOW, it stands on its own self-evident merits.
    Absolutely - but Tony is a bit of a flat-earther . . .he does not do
    conditional...


    ...as is the case of those inevitably compromised by their deluded
    one-eyed
    obsessions, poor punctuation and messy syntax.

    Ah, yes - an accurate self analysis if ever there was one.

    I spend my life doing useful things. You seem to be keen on failing to put others down - what a wasted life you have had.
