Relaxing the definition of “family” doesn’t seem very “Catholic”...

The only surprise in this article is that it was printed in the Pravda of Climate Change — the BBC.

Just another opportunity that Republicans completely let go by the wayside. I mean just think of a Republican candidate who absolute exposed these punks for the frauds they are, just absolutely let them have it, the support for that candidate would absolutely skyrocket, someone who has a big mouth and exposes all this crap, but no...Nobody on the right has the guts which is why the Democrap are going to hold the senate

Yeah, and why haven’t they, for the good of the earth and mankind, volunteered to remove themselves from the equation? Guess they’re too stupid to realize that ‘See-Uh-O-2’ is essential for our survival.

Climate cultists are scrambling to explain why their theory of CO2 increases leading to increased global temperatures doesn’t match the actual data. What they are missing is that in true science if the theory doesn’t match the observed data the theory is wrong.

Can’t even generate a good lie.

Don’t let the truth that the Vostok ice core expedition PROVES WITH LABORATORY SCIENCE, and not computer modelling, that for the last 420,000 years CO2 increases have ALWAYS FOLLOWED global temperature increases.

I can make a spreadsheet, and call it a modelling, so it sings “Mary Had a Little Lamb” when you open it. Don’t try and buffalo me with the all holy computer modelling.

If atmospheric CO2 levels are still going up wouldn’t this mean that more CO2 was produced than previously thought? Just saying.

"exposed these punks for the frauds they are"

Its not fraud because "these punks" have always acknowledged that they don't have all the info on carbon sinks.

The remedy for this was the orbiting carbon observatory to detect all the sinks and quantify them. Unfortunately, OCO1(2009) didn't achieve orbit but OCO2(2014) did.

As for the sink mentioned in this article, photosynthesis, OCO2 has a spectrophotometer that measures fluorescence, which is produced by photosynthesis, which will enable them to quantify very accurately the amount of CO2 used by plants globally and locally.

Also, CO2 spurs plant growth (on land, and in oceans). More C02 means more plants, which in turn, means more CO2 gets absorbed by plants and converted through photosynthesis into food and O2.

In other words, it creates a negative feedback, as opposed to the positive feedback theory behind the claim of accelerated out-of-control warming a.k.a. “the hockey stick”.

I recently asked a liberal who is all about saving the planet from nasty humans...”What do you think is the greatest threat to the continued well being of humanity on planet earth...The Islamic State or Man Made Climate disruption?”

I swear her head almost exploded!

As expected, she was unable to make a simple choice and give a simple answer.

This is a good way to humiliate and confound Libs. Their obsession with “Man Made Climate Change” may sound high-minded in a time of general peace and tranquility and in the absence of other real life threats, but with the world facing real life and death “existential” threats such as the Islamic State” and “Ebola,” by contrast their fetish with the weather seems silly and vacuous.

Ask the next Lib you see..."In your opinion which is the most threat to our well being...Islamic State Nazis or The Weather"?

So the science on that isn’t settled
