@1ownjoo2 You are confusing weather with climate.

There is an awful lot to ignore if you maintain that we can continue on our current path.

Where are the Deniers now?

@stuttgurth I just saw that your comment was 8 months old. Sorry about that, I know I don't like being bothered about old comments.

[stuttgurth]

@winterstellar Yes you caught my slip. However, if you wanna get technical the universe is believed by some to be infinite and any point can be taken as the center of an infinite plane.

@stuttgurth Actually winter occurs when the earth is tilted away from the sun, so the rays are more indirect, which is why it's colder in winter, and also why the poles have darkness during that time.

[whistler2255]

The temperature records ate at best questionable, since the raw data has been fudged, minimizing the Urban Heat Island Effect, and temperature stations have been selectively eliminated, and are improperly sited. CO2 caused warming has never been proven,and many scientists believe we are entering a cooling period that could last 2 to 3 decades.

@stuttgurth ... The Earth isn't the center of the universe?  Holy shit! What are you gonna tell us next...the Earth isn't flat?

[emantabrizi]

@MultiVlad16 ... Global Warming refers to an increase in the average GLOBAL temperature. Therefore, it takes into account temperatures from all over the planet, not just Europe.

[stuttgurth]

Im not discrediting emission caused warming. But Im sure the real culprit is the universe and not our little selves. Remember, the sun is the center of the universe, not the earth.
