You can still participate in the discussion, it just won't be evidence-based. : - )
Therein lies the quandary. The Green movement based its entire agenda on a rise in temperature. The melting ice shelf, apparent worsening weather, drought and monsoons are presumed to to be the result however, the linchpin is a supposed temperature rise of 1° in a span of eighty years.
Note that I characterized the rise in temperature as "supposed". That is pseudo science on a grand scale....no less than the entire planet. The same bunch that will tell us about a galaxy far, far away. .....25,000 light years from Earth and here's an artist's depiction based on some x-rays that hit a receiver located on a mountain in Argentina. They like to point out that there are possible life supporting planets....and the planets have moons.
Well those guys and gals have families to feed, mortgages to pay, an electric car to polish. They exist by feeding us an intellectual pablum. Do you recall the brontosaurus? It was the made up dinosaur that Fred operated at the quarry. Most every science text book had one. That's because a group of paleontologists needed to secure new grant money so they took a few bones from around the globe and created Dino.
Skepticism is healthy. Bernie and Sam didn't get any of my wealth. I am not willing to place my eggs in a green basket based on a possible 1° rise in temperature over one year much less eighty years. And who are we trusting for that data? A pack of schlubs that work for the government????
The resources poured over the green altar are enormous. One study after another. Ice cores from far flung places and tree rings from others. Might as well be chicken bones and sea shells…although that has probably been considered. The rise in ocean levels is said to be six inches in the last hundred years. Oceans are miles deep and schlubs pinpoint a six inch rise.
Now satellites are used to monitor the ocean levels… 800 miles from Earth they measure millimeter changes in levels of miles deep oceans…amazing stuff huh?
Okay let’s sail off that cliff and accept Chicken Littles’s rantings. The seas are a rising. Drought is getting worse. Weather is too. Who’s to say that there isn’t some other cause besides mankind? If you accept the premise that the Universe was created, perhaps the Creator is turning up the heat.
