Is green tech good? Yes. Applauding policies that forces poor people to not modernize, barking regurgitated leftist sheep propaganda from your SUV clutching a Starbucks venti and virtue signaling on Instagram that you recycle because you "care" on Earth Day doesn't make you an environmentalist. Makes you an anti-science leftist simp.

Demagogue much?

Part of the "dumb" here is the Holier Than Thou attitude—the boldfaced text—that overpowers any actual thought.

What does implicitly endorsing memes of this kind, by posting them without further comment on this forum, make someone?



So the people at the global warming conference (2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference or COP27) are IDIOTS..? All of them? Just some of them? What about the people who created this meme, and the people who are enthusiastically circulating this meme on their social media networks and copying it into online forums like this one?

It's idiotic to set up a "science lesson" to troll the Climate Change Conference, when the ice cube melting in a measuring glass is a complete disconnect from the concerns at COP27 about sea levels rising, As I've already explained (like a dozen times) this simple science experiment has nothing to do with how global warming is connected with rising sea levels. That's not how it works.

Why should I stop explaining it, if it pleases me to do so? The demagoguery—the banal and mindless screeds about the "anti-science left"—haven't stopped! Screeds about the "anti-science left" from people whose forays into science-related topics on this forum have exposed them as science "flunkies" themselves.

I think it was just yesterday when the same chorus of bulls**t artists showed up on this forum again, trying to fob off the nonsense that there are no research reports in the science journals about the origin(s) of Covid-19, because the "left" will not allow it. I knew this was a lie, so I used Google and Google Scholar to find some of these research reports and document their existence, posting that into the thread. Then I asked, why this lie, and what would cause someone to repeat it?

I'm no closer to enlightenment on that, then I was when I asked the question, yesterday.

I explained why this meme, which invokes science, is actually a science fail. I explained it, with a little help from forum member IMSA GT.

Would you like a little variety? A change from your long endeavors to "shoot me down" in these climate and global warming-themed discussions? What do you make of this?

Some here like to say don't ignore the science, yet they themselves are ignoring the science that his might just be "normal"

"Various records reveal numerous large, widespread, abrupt climate changes over the past 100,000 years. One of the more recent intriguing findings is the remarkable speed of these changes. Within the incredibly short time span (by geologic standards) of only a few decades or even a few years, global temperatures have fluctuated by as much as 15°F (8°C) or more. For example, as Earth was emerging out of the last glacial cycle, the warming trend was interrupted 12,800 years ago when temperatures dropped dramatically in only several decades. A mere 1,300 years later, temperatures locally spiked as much as 20°F (11°C) within just several years. Sudden changes like this occurred at least 24 times during the past 100,000 years. In a relative sense, we are in a time of unusually stable temperatures today—how long will it last?"

Abrupt climate change: inevitable surprises
Published by the National Academy of Sciences—a report from the Committee on Abrupt Climate Change, including members of the Ocean Studies Board, Polar Research Board, Board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate, Division on Earth and Life Studies, and National Research Council.
