Didn't notice that you had already explained my point before I posted my own explanation.
As for bikes,skateboards and walking let's not forget swimming.
If leftists had any real appreciation for science, they would not deny that a pre-born baby is a human person nor that biological sex (in humans) is binary and fixed.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aneuploidy
When it comes to aneuploidy involving the X and Y chromosomes that make up “normal” males and females there are 4 other anomalies that can occur. One is called Klinefelter syndrome.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klinefelter_syndrome
The anomalies were known of for a long time and clinically identified after the 1940’s. Some of the anomolies in the X and Y chromosome are more prevalent in the general population than Downs Syndrome, the most commonly known Aneyploidy. I know because my brother has downs.
“It is more than binary. Aneuploidy is its’ scientific or medical name.”
Sex IS binary — male and female.
Aneuploidy is, by definition, abnormal.
“X and Y chromosomes that make up ‘normal’ males and females”
You don’t need to put normal in quotes here. Male and female ARE the normal states.
My point is not that aberrations never occur. It is that they are aberrations.
Sure, “gender” dysphoria exists, but it is a disorder. Trying to make society conform with a mental illness is insanity.
The salient point here is that the left thinks science is a bludgeoning tool to force everyone to agree with them. But they are really anti-science.
Abortion advocacy is a denial of the scientific fact that babies are unique, living, individual, humans.
The homosexual agenda denies that there is a biological distinction of two and only two sexes. Human reproduction requires a coupling of those two sexes. Deviation from this is possible — sure — but such sex acts are disordered and dysfunctional.
Gender is supposedly a spectrum to the left. And LGBT designations represent alternative but normative conditions, for leftists. These things are anti-science.
Echoing a lot of the comments above, DiCaprio will be believable if and when he decides to walk the walk.
Well he will be less hypocritical he won’t be any more believable! There is no AGW, saying there does not change the facts.
Saying there is does not change the facts!
You way over estimate your ability to have an effect on the earth.
There is also, I believe, a good reason that big icy Canadian island is called GREENland!
Physicist Howard Hayden's one-letter disproof of global warming claims [pre-Climategate]Dear Administrator Jackson:
I write in regard to the Proposed Endangerment and Cause or Contribute Findings for Greenhouse Gases Under Section 202(a) of the Clean Air Act, Proposed Rule, 74 Fed. Reg. 18,886 (Apr. 24, 2009), the so-called "Endangerment Finding."
It has been often said that the "science is settled" on the issue of CO2 and climate. Let me put this claim to rest with a simple one-letter proof that it is false.
The letter is s, the one that changes model into models. If the science were settled, there would be precisely one model, and it would be in agreement with measurements.
Alternatively, one may ask which one of the twenty-some models settled the science so that all the rest could be discarded along with the research funds that have kept those models alive.
We can take this further. Not a single climate model predicted the current cooling phase. If the science were settled, the model (singular) would have predicted it.
(excerpted from Professor Hayden's letter to Lisa P. Jackson, Administrator Environmental Protection Agency. More at link.)
There is not a person on this planet who could convince me that human induced global warming is a greater threat than the natural cycling back into the cold ice age period. And we have to assume the cold is coming soon due to scientific analysis of the recent geological past.
If DiCaprio believed what he is pushing he would not have flown an eyebrow groomer in from half way around the world but would have "acted locally".
He didn't.
He is a fraud pushing a fraud and he knows it.
So you might want to put your respect and admiration somewhere else.
[[There is not a person on this planet who could convince me that human induced global warming is a greater threat]]
There is no human induced warming- none- The math doesn’t lie- man is not producing anywhere near enough CO2 to cause warming- man’s CO2 comprises just 0.00136% of the atmosphere- That’s it-
To put this into perspective- take a stadium with 100,000 people in it- 0.04% (the total of all the CO2 and greenhouse gases in the atmosphere) means that 40 people would represent ALL the CO2 and greenhouse gases- take 3.4% of that amount- which represents man’s contribution of CO2 to the atmosphere, and it = 1 and 1/3 people-
That 1 and 1/3 people out of 100,000 represents how much CO2 would be in the atmosphere as a direct result of man
For another visual- picture an olympic sized swimming pool of 95 degree water- now picture a 9 gallon pail of 100 degree water being poured into that pool- what is going to happen to the temperature of the pool? Nothing- It can’t- there isn’t enough hotter water to over power the mass volume of cooler water- the pool temp remains the same except for very local small area that very briefly warms but instantly reaches equilibrium with the rest of the pool’s temp of 95 Degrees
0.04% of 661,000 gallons = 264 gallons
3.4% of 264 gallons = roughly 9 gallons
warming of this planet is 100% natural, and has nothing to do with CO2- Did you know warming happens hundreds of years —Before— CO2 rises? CO2 does not drive temperature changes-
Yep. Am aware of that. What the psuedo scientific proponents of AGW claim is that the insignificant warming possible from CO2, causes an increase in water vapor which then actually causes significant warming. They have no actual experimental proof of this however. The hard facts are that the amount of vapor a single moderate El Nino releases dwarfs the theoritical AGW input. During El Nino solar energy gets transferred into water vapor.
I don’t have the link now, but the water vapor supposedly caused by man’s CO2 is shown to also be too insignificant to cause any issues-
No doubt. Its not about the climate anyways. The issue is never the issue.
