Can I get a LOL

Quick clarification and apology on my part. I was thinking of forums user LatexDog, not LabR@t. This doesn't make the nonsense in the OP any more plausable but I did get the poster wrong so apologies for that.

This is what I don't get, nobody who is actually respected in the field is saying that climate change isn't a natural process, and the world doesn't go through warming and cooling periods, they're just saying that humans have accelerated the warming (to simplify it greatly). Of which their is a fairly insurmountable amount of evidence to prove this.

Nope

From the melted ice that had captured it, ?

It is not that NASA are on the fence with the issue. Scientists don't really make outright statements such as 'x is definitely happening'. NASA do seem to be putting out a lot of evidence on climate change, as well as seem to constantly make claims that it seems to be happening

I think that some people just don't have it in them to accept any blame, full or partial. It is the reason why some people will adamantly blame immigrants for issues that have little or no connection to immigrants - Because they can't bring themselves to blame themselves or their country (which they are part of) or the government of their country that they voted for.

So what do you think is the real reason the Antarctic is melting.
A: the huge super volcano under the ice sheet
B: humans

Both. And that's just Antarctica. The rest of the world is heating rapidly as a direct result of human activity.

Incidentally, there's a large ozone hole over Antarctica that accelerates its warming. This hole was caused by human activity as well. Occasionally the hole becomes large enough to cover parts of Australia. This is very bad news for those of us who live in Australia.

So when will the rip off taxes imposed on us stop?

Which taxes are you referring to?

Space aliens are intentionally changing our climate to suit their own needs ahead a planned invasion, also rumored that the US government has been in contact and made a deal, at least that's I've heard.

Clearly nothing to do with us, the aliens just like it warm.

Genius move - nothing will get them to underestimate us more than sending Trump in as 'one of the most powerful men in the world'.

No, this deal was made back in the 50s, Trump is in fact an Alien sent here to accelerate the process, most likely by using Nuclear weapons.

Maybe we should send May in to negotiate a new all or nothing deal and threaten them with earth leaving the solar system. I will call it Earxith. We can campaign it by telling people that aliens steal are jobs, follow up with something about sovereignty and then end it with not wanting to integrate and adhere to galaxy law.

Nope

Carbon Dioxide is not a pollutant it is necessary for all plant life on Earth, plants which through Photosynthesis produce Oxygen. If anything needs to be done to protect the ecosystem it's to stop deforestation.

VincentHanna · 10 Nov 2017 at 11:24

Cool, lets just pump out as much as we can then and see how we get on, yeah?

...and it's fatal to all other life. Which is why we need to maintain a balance.

Do you want our planet to end up like Venus?

So the problem becomes self sustaining once we kick it off. That doesn't sound great.

The level of ignorance of simple science for some members here is depressing but not surprising.

Well if its just Aliens warming the planet up we need Charlie Sheen on stand-by (The Arrival 1996)

It's like anything can be a poison or not depending on the amount ingested.

Yes some carbon dioxide is required but not the amount that's currently in the atmosphere.
