I Care About The Environment

Good thing that whole "Climate Change" thing was a hoax! Am I right???

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/trump-administration-releases-report-finding-no-convincing-alternative-explanation-for-climate-change/ar-AAupvvD

[quote]The report affirms that climate change is driven almost entirely by human action, warns of potential sea level rise as high as 8 feet by the year 2100, and enumerates myriad climate-related damages across the United States that are already occurring due to 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit of global warming since 1900.

“It is extremely likely that human influence has been the dominant cause of the observed warming since the mid-20th century,” the document reports. “For the warming over the last century, there is no convincing alternative explanation supported by the extent of the observational evidence.”

The report’s release underscores the extent to which the machinery of the federal scientific establishment, operating in multiple agencies across the government, continues to grind on even as top administration officials have minimized or disparaged its findings. Federal scientists have continued to author papers and issue reports on climate change, for example, even as political appointees have altered the wording of news releases or blocked civil servants from speaking about their conclusions in public forums. The climate assessment process is dictated by a 1990 law that Democratic and Republican administrations have followed.[/quote]

Ice caps melting sea levels rising.
Haz anyone ever put water into a measuring jug. Throw in ice cubes/bergs note displacement. Wait for ice to melt.
Reault no increase in levels.

Why hasnt anyone done this simple of simple test????

Because we are taught that scientists are smart n we arent.

They lie about this what else are they lying about.

Issac Newton illuminasty lil Freemason like every one of "the great discoverers"

@Graciebaby Ice caps are growing as are the glaciers on Greenland. Yes you are right melting ice leaves the water at exactly the same level.

@Graciebaby While it's true that melting ice doesn't change the total amount of water present on Earth, most of the Antarctic ice sheet sits on a continent, buried under the ice. So, ice that was on land migrates into the sea, melting as it moves north away from Antarctica. The water in the ocean is increased in quantity and the reflective qualities of the ice sheet are reduced as the surface area providing albedo decreases, so the amount of thermal energy reflected away from the planet also decreases, resulting in faster ice melt.

@RemovedUsername8862 And the glaciers on Antarctica are growing. Did you hear about the mass penguin loss because there was so much snow and ice the penguins couldn't make it to the ocean?

@RemovedUsername8862 WHAT???? No way, much easier to believe scientists missed the idea that ice-melting doesn't raise water levels or some kind of conspiracy is afoot!

@Pherick Would that all problems were as easily resolved as science fairs.

Id love to agree, but that sou ded to me like sudoscience. We are lied to so much that any excuse sounds far fetched.im on a girls baby shower, trying to get a lil sqiffy here, sorry i opened my mouth, hic.💋

@hippyjoe1955 No, it really doesn't. You see, salt water actually freezes at a colder temperature then fresh water. Also the salt water that does freeze, will have no salt.

@hippyjoe1955 Climate scientists differentiate between ice melt on land and on water. Ice melting on the sea does not contribute to to sea level increase. Ice melting over land does. The only exceptions to this are where there are ice caps that are over water but tied into the land, so they are not free floating. It is simple science. Scientists are well aware of this and it is taken into account in sea level modeling.

@windinhishair I think you are wrong, scientists all over the world missed this and thankfully for us Hippyjoe here caught it ;)
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@Pherick Well, hippyjoe [b]does[/b] know more than all of the scientists in the world. He also knows that acid rain is a hoax and doesn't exist. All of those pH meters used in sixth grade science classes around the world are wrong! 😉

There is exactly to the molecule the same amount of water on this plate now as when H2O began. So how we downing land ice melt n sea ice melt psycobabble@windinhishair
Pherick · 41-45, M
@Graciebaby Umm. I think you might still be drunk, but you do realize that continents have shifted in the past right? That the world doesn't look the same now as it has in the past.

So its possible that in the past more water has been frozen and kept out of the water table. Now its all melting and being released into the current continent configuration.
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@Graciebaby Because quite a bit of water is not in the oceans. If you add more water to the oceans, the sea level will rise. Also, above 39 degrees F, water becomes less dense with temperature, so it will expand. Just because you don't understand science doesn't make it psychobabble. It just means you don't understand the mechanisms behind the science.

Really

@Graciebaby Yes really.
