It would take humans over 100,000 years to melt all the ice off Antarctica on purpose

We don’t have to melt it all dumbass 

Try reading something that isn’t sponsored by the fossil fuel industry. 

And fortunately we basically can’t or even come close hey

In the middle more record heatwaves, dummies like you still deny it is happening. 

All stupid, all the time.

Duke threw a Ken doll hook in the water and ClimateBarbieHands gobbled that shit up as fast as his tiny little fins could get him to it!

:lol:

 

I was thinking maybe he had a consensus he could poast on how 1* of warming over the last 300 years will melt all the ice in an area where the average yearly  temperature is around -60c

Hold on, he’s flipping furiously through his leather bound, special edition, gold inlayed, Al Gore book collection.

Al Gore, in his 2006 climate change documentary An Inconvenient Truth, suggested that both the Arctic and Antarctic would face a huge loss of ice because of global warming.

Many like minded politicians and bureaucrats joined his chorus, eventually turning the tide of academic funding in favor of their doomsday prophecies. This week, CNN claimed that Antarctic ice loss has accelerated 280 percent in the last four decades.

Antarctica’s ice sheet extent is highly volatile, and all models have had difficulty predicting the future. In order to understand ice mass gains and losses, we need to understand the historical changes in ice mass and extent.

Empirical data indicates that the continent’s ice sheet increased in mass from 1992 to 2008—gaining an average of 112 billion tons of ice per year from 1992 to 2001, and 82 billion tons per year from 2003 and 2008.

The gains didn’t stop then. In fact, 2014’s ice sheet area of 7.76 million square miles was the highest in recorded history. A 2015 study published in the Journal of Glaciology showed that the mass gains of Antarctic ice sheet exceeded its losses.

In 2016, a scientific publication in Nature Climate Change revealed that sea surface temperatures around Antarctica have been cooling since 1979. Ascientific publication by the American Meteorological Society in 2018 concluded that there has been a cooling of surface in the Southern Oceans and a significant circumpolar increase in Antarctic sea ice. In fact, Western Antarctic Peninsula’s sea ice is at its highest in 10,000 years.

The same is true with the Arctic region. Holocene (the present climate period that began 10,000 years ago) sea ice trends for the Arctic indicate that the sea ice at its highest levels, except for the extraordinarily high levels of the Little Ice Age in the 17th century. 

A new scientific report published in 2018 clarified that half of the Arctic sea ice loss in recent decades is due to the natural climate cycle, and that nothing unprecedented is happening there.

It requires blind faith to conclude that the Arctic and Antarctic are in grave danger.

Maybe it’s time we set aside the popular media narrative and political rumors, and rely on empirical scientific data before we reach conclusions about melting ice and climate doomsday.

A heatwave is weather not climate you fucking dolt.

Fucking dolt. 

LOL Ya and record cold and this and that. The temps have been relatively static globally for the past decade, yet all of a sudden every storm, or other weather anomaly is because if a .03 degree shift in the past 50 years. Fuck off moron. We are seeing the biggest fraud in the history of humanity since the catholic church offered to absolve sins for a buck. The difference here is we have no choice to pay.

Less people need to be on this earth for it to survive. 

Revkev be the first to make the sacrifice.

That IS the only answer. BUT, the phony economic system that is reliant upon growth from the bottom to sustain the top, would fail.

Both Shell and Exxon knew they were responsible for climate change decades ago. 

They set about fooling dolts like you ever since. 

They were successful.

You still do not get it dummy. So what if the climate is changing. It will always change, and yes we humans will cause some of that change. Want to slow the human impact, the only way is to reduce the number of humans. Taxing us will not do a damn thing. We will find, extract, and BURN all fossil fuels. This use of fossilfuels will grow as we increase population, and will expand even faster as we import immigrants from third world countries to western nations. You are so stupid you think we need immigration and we also need to reduce consumption of fossil fuels. You cannot have both because there is NO alternative at all. Without oil we die, it is that simple. So keep dreaming that there is a utopia that can be found through government taxation on energy, it aint happening. What will happen is control over your life through the restriction of energy use will ensue. We will become slaves to a global government and that is the end game here in the first place. Sorry buddy but it you that has been fooled. Fooled into thinking we have a viable economic system that can continue to survive forever and fooled into thinking we will all die unless we pay high taxes. Well, gotta go, heading out on our bikes to burn some gasoline just for fun, then when we get back I will be burning some wood in the fire pit just for fun. I will also make sure I burn my used oil for which I already paid a tax, just for fun. Fuck you.

Yet you rely on companies like Shell and Exxon.
