etking said: From a strictly scientific standpoint Trump is right, no one really knows. The only thing we know is that before the next ice age can be happening, all ice on the poles needs to completely melt. |
the bitter irony of that video is that he is arguing "earth's processes are waaay too complex and not understood well enough to make predictions", but shows a single chart of the global atmospheric temperature anomaly (I suppose - the chart actually doesn't say what it's about, so for all we know it could be from how warm his piss is each year - highly unscientific) to say "very little has changed"
yet there _are_ dramatic changes in the size of the northpole icecap, in the acidity of the oceans (> much more CO2 has been stored), the amount of permafrost soil that began thawing, the local temperature anomaly around the north pole, length of the hurricane and taifun seasons and average storm strength, extent of glaciers around the world, ..........
and it's funny he spends a large portion of the video saying how politcians and activists try to make money from climate alarmism, but doesn't utter a single word about scientists that have been bought by big Oil and other industries to influence politics/public opinion in their favor - now I wonder why that is
