  1. ​@turtle-frogs Nope. The North of Australia is wetter the South of Australia is drier, much drier. Drought Statement Bureau of Meteorology.

  2. The Netherlands won't leave the EU. That's an absurd claim.

  3. Nonsense. Look at the tide gauge measurements. NOAA Tides and Currents Sea Level Trends.

  4. ​@user-McGiver Floods are increasing, and intense rainfall events are increasing due to Climate Change.

  5. @ljkking622  A Carbon tax is a way of lowering CO2 emissions. What's your point?

  6. ​@stevealba4599 Brexit bad? The extraordinary thing about Brexit is how the English managed to shoot themselves in both feet.

  7. Summers aren't getting cooler in Melbourne and Southern Australia is suffering a rainfall deficit. Winter rain has dropped considerably on average.

  8. That's simply not true. Infrastructure is sometimes built around weather stations but the heat island effect is well known to meteoroligists. Temperatures at rural weather stations show the same trends. Predictions of peak oil have nothing to do with climatology. New drilling techniques, oil sand extraction and fracking have opened up more fossil fuel reserves.

  9. No one said we would be burning to death by the 90s.

  10. Yes they do.

  11. I took it as 3 to 4 degrees C warmer than pre-industrial not 3 to 4 degrees more. It's a reasonable estimate given an Equilibrium Climate Sensitivity (Temperature rise on doubling of CO2) of about 3 degrees C. Sherwood - An Assessment of Earth's Climate Sensitivity - Reviews of Geophysics.

  12. Care to name any of these failed predictions? The Climate models have been quite accurate. Hausfather - Climate Models - Geophysical Research Letters. Even the fossil fuel company's scientists got it right, that's why their projections were hidden. Supran - Assessing ExxonMobil's Global Warming Projections - Science.

  13. The planet was slightly cooling for six thousand years and heading towards another glaciation until the beginning of the Industrial Era when it began rapidly warming due to anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Kaufman - Holocene Global Mean Surface Temperature - Scientific Data. Carbon fertilisation is a well known effect. More greenery is not much of a plus given the negatives of a rapidly warming planet.

  14. Global temperature records have been available for a century. Tony Heller aka Steven Goddard is a notorious liar and fraud.

  15. The innovation of "Drill, Baby, Drill"?

  16. There's no evidence of that. It was probably Ukrainians.

  17. When was the last time there were 8.2 billion people on the planet?

  18. These "real unbribed scientists" can be found where? The Heartland Institute?

  19. Who has debunked these models? Equilibrium Climate Sensitivity ( Temperature rise on doubling of CO2) is estimated at about 3.2 degrees C. Temperature has risen 1.2 degrees C since the beginning of the Industrial Era and CO2 has increased by fifty percent. CO2 is increasing at 2.5 ppm annually. A 4 degrees C rise is probable by about 2080.

  20. Better than voting for the fascist Trump.

  21. In the 70s most Climatologists were predicting warming. Peterson - The myth of the 70s cooling consensus - Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society. Acid rain was ameliorated by installing scrubbers that removed the Nitrogen and Sulphur Oxides that caused it. The Ozone layer has stabilised because the Montreal Protocol banning CFCs which caused the depletion has worked. Polar ice caps and glaciers are rapidly melting. Otosaka - Mass Balance of the Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheets - ESSD. Hugonnet - Accelerated Global Glacier Mass Loss - Nature Journal. Estimates of oil reserves have increased due to new drilling techniques, oil sand extraction and fracking. What does that leave you with? Hmmmm ... nothing.

  24. Lomborg isn't a scientist and constantly spreads misinformation about the Climate.

  25. CO2 levels have gone from 280 ppm to 420 ppm in the Industrial Era due to anthropogenic CO2 emissions. That's an increase of fifty percent. I'll repeat that. 50%.

  26. Water lapping at the summit of Mount Everest by 2000, they said? Nonsense.

  27.  @50Nobody50  Congratulations? For what? Not getting my science from journalists?

  30. Tony Heller aka Steven Goddard is a notorious liar and fraud. He has a degree in Geology and has never published any scientific papers.

  31. You mean the social media site formerly known as Tw@er?

  32. That film is a litany of pseudo-scientific nonsense. It features what looks like the speakers list of a Heartland Institute conference.
