No Liberal cares about anything but their own agenda. Prove the guy wrong with an accredited world class scientist that isn't paid. That's the
argument, not Dennis Prager. If you can't do anything but call Prager names, well, that's what I'm talking about.

Pretty definitive statement, Timo...How did you manage to get all those liberals surveyed in such a short time? More absorbed knowledge?..I gotta go
feed cattle, now that's REAL BS....

Speaking of generalizations, what about this one? Sounds like someone got a rejection letter from Harvard Business School. It happens to a lot of
us. I got over it, you can too!

As Liberals will tell you: 97% of Climatologists agree. What they won't tell you is that the "97%" number was the results of a SURVEY that a bunch of
Climatologist were given that asked ridiculously skewed and stupid questions that could only be answered one way "would you rather be shot in the
head, or make love to your spouse". It wasn't based on data or results based from any study! It was a questioner who's purpose was hidden from the
scientists that took it. If it's such and so widely accepted, why did Al Gore have to hide the reason and intent for the study to begin with and why
did so many scientists threaten to sue if their names were used after they found out it's intent? It's all a lie. I trust Prager videos over ANY
main stream news source in the United States. Prove one of their hundreds of videos false, just one, you can't. All you can do is call them names.
It's easy to find dirt on anybody who's lived a lifetime and been involved in thousands of studies and reports, nobody lives a lifetime without any
faults. That's what's it's all about, learning and moving on. It's not about dropping to your knees and following a party who who's only mantra is
lie, deny and counter accuse.

Here's how Liberals came up with the "97% of Climatologists" if this type of science is all it takes to reach into your pocket or take away your
freedoms you deserve to reap what you sew.

You have to wonder, if Timinator, was serious and a real Scientist, why is in posting links from right-wing loon, Dennis Prager, who talks politics,
loves, Jesus, and Jews, and hates Muslims, and women, if the women don't know their place? Now if that's your thing to watch Dennis Prager, I have no
problem with that, but Prager, is no scientist and only has typical right-wing views against global warming.
And if William Happer, is some expert Princeton physicists, with serious global warming scientific credentials, then why isn't he posting his reports
on scientific published research sites that are subject to peer review, but instead publishes his opinions on Fox News owned Business paper, the "Wall
Street Journal?
________________________________
From "skeptical science," some highlights:
William Happer is a Princeton physicist and Chairman of the Board of Directors at the right-wing fossil fuel-funded think tank George C. Marshall
Institute. Although he has not published any climate-related research in his scientific career, Happer nevertheless seems to enjoy making his
opinions about climate science known, as we have previously examined here and here. Unfortunately, Happer does not seem interested in taking the time
to ensure that those are informed opinions.
Rather than subject his thoughts to the peer-review process, Happer's publication of choice appears to be The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), as he was one
of the 16 scientists who recently published a plea for climate inaction in that paper, and a follow-up article defending their previous
misrepresentations. Happer has now gone solo, publishing another opinion-editorial in the WSJ with such a Gish Gallop of climate-related myths as to
be a truly Moncktonian effort.
Though we will briefly whack each of Happer's moles in the post below, one particular myth caught our attention. This myth was also recently endorsed
by Roy Spencer in an interview with John Stossel on Fox News - the myth that the planet has not warmed in the past 10 years.

_______________________
The Latest Denialist Plea for Climate Change Inaction
As they tend to do from time to time in an effort to distract from the climate science consensus, a group of scientists who are also climate
"skeptics" have published an opinion-editorial (op-ed), trying to make the case against taking action to address climate change. As usual, the
article is little more than a regurgitation of a number of climate myths we have debunked at Skeptical Science.
The op-ed begins with the wholly unsupported assertion that:
"...a large and growing number of distinguished scientists and engineers do not agree that drastic actions on global warming are needed."
The fact that only 16 scientists and engineers signed this letter casts serious doubt on this assertion. The fake skeptics were able to get ~100
signatories on a similar letter 5 years ago - this seems more like a small and dwindling number of fake skeptics. It's also worth noting that 255
National Academy of Science members (truly prominent scientists) signed an opposite letter, urging action to address climate change.

Stanford, please. Give me a break. Full ride at USC, baby! I think they were surprised to see a white guy named Harper show up!

Problem is, he's more accredited, better published and more accomplished than anyone here on this site. All you can do is call him names, you can't
change the science or discredit a think he said with science or data. Lie, Deny and Counter Accuse, that's all you got. You have no policy wins to
fall back on or point to, and the country just handed you your walking papers to the tune of 8 out of 10 elections...again! So, boohoo hoo.
"97% of Climatologists agree". That's a liberal lie. Period. Just like Obama knowingly lying to every person in the United States selling us on
Obamacare lies. Keep your doctor, keep your plan, save the average household $2500/yr., most people are unhappy with their healthcare plan, will only
cost 900B/yr (it's over 3T/yr now and climbing). When will you liberals stop? You have collapsed every civilization in world history that's adopted
your liberal policies. Don't you get it, it's a lie.

He is not accredited and better published on climate science, unless you want to include right wing loon sites like Dennis Prager, sites, and
opinion and op-ed write ups in the "Wall Street Journal, that's good or business news, but not for science. Oh yeah, The "World Nut Daily" also posts
opinion pieces from this crank.
Please Timinator, no more Dennis Prager's videos, I can't take anymore of that BS.

For those who are interested in global warming due to the burning of fossil fuels, and the climate change that is now occurring as a result, here's a
history of the first 10 years of the 40-year-old subject.
"Losing Earth" https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/08/01/magazine/clim...
A snippet about a 1979 EPA report: In the final paragraph of a chapter on environmental regulation, the coal report’s authors
noted that the continued use of fossil fuels might, within two or three decades, bring about “significant and damaging” changes to the global
atmosphere.

A some what different view of things
Credit: ADAM NIEMAN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY
Caption: Global water and air volume. Conceptual computer artwork of the total volume of water on Earth (left) and of air in the Earth's atmosphere
(right) shown as spheres (blue and pink). The spheres show how finite water and air supplies are. The water sphere measures 1390 kilometres across and
has a volume of 1.4 billion cubic kilometres. This includes all the water in the oceans, seas, ice caps, lakes and rivers as well as ground water, and
that in the atmosphere. The air sphere measures 1999 kilometres across and weighs 5140 trillion tonnes. As the atmosphere extends from Earth it
becomes less dense. Half of the air lies within the first 5 kilometres of the atmosphere.
http://www.sciencephoto.com/media/159214/view
Given the actual volume of our atmosphere in terms relative to the volume of the earth .. One should see how small the “atmosphere” actually is
… Thus subject to greater variation due to its smaller volume .. creating a relatively thin layer around the planet…. water is also less in
overall volume and would therefore be subject to the same laws of thermodynamics
Amazing balance we have going for us … on this little planet
… Totally the luck of the draw

Yes, we a truly a fluke of the universe,
You have no right to be here.
And whether you can hear it or not
The universe is laughing behind your back.
Since I've given up all hope, I feel much better

Fluke it ALL !
No Right to be HERE ?
On the bright side .......................... soon we won't be !
And, others will still be arguing over the reasons for the warmer, cooler, dry or drenched seasons.
Having NO effect and reaching NO agreement.
It's a cosmic joke.
On US.
Just say "F" it, have a beer and go for a swim.

Mr Bill M
It sounds to me from reading some of your earlier posts ( and perhaps, I hope, they were in jest) that you have no worries because you are speaking
with "God". If so, may I ask which "God" :biblical, muslim, hindu, buddist, catholic, there really is a huge list.
My only thought is when one thinks they have a direct line to some "God" that perhaps they have a line to their own narcissism.
The issue of Climate Change is really, non controversial. The earth's climate has changed often, radically for much longer then our mere human
existance. Are we exacerbating/ escalating it? Quite likely by the sheer stress so many humans have on a limited sphere. Can we do something to
mitgate it?
Maybe we can. And that is why we don't sit back and have a beer and disengage. IF we can do something to preserve what we have for our children,
grandchildren, don't we have the moral onus and caring to do so?
I sincerely hope so/

God's Got IT !
"Harvey" (As he likes to be called by those of us on his Direct-Connect celestial Friends list, cautions that the
Bible (in its various permutations) is, in general, mostly accurate in its portrayal of events and attendant moral guiding principles, BUT like all
(or most) Ghost-Written autobiographies, there is the tendency for the Ghost or, in this case, Ghosts to interpret,
enhance, embellish and expand in the interests of improving story flow, attracting additional readers and improving sales.
Heavenly Harvey often clashed with the writers during collaboration, sometimes insisting on corrections while sometimes accepting their arguments in
favor of literary license improving the action and driving home an important point.
The result has been the record-setting sales of an historical work which, obviously, validates the editing strategy of producing a lively,
action-packed allegorical philosophical guide for navigating life.
In the original first edition, there was an initial disclaimer in the forward that certain places, events and persons may have been altered for
promotional purposes, but Harvey thought that it would detract from the acceptance of the guide.
As to the Global Warming question ....................... Obviously we are in a period of warming. Those who don't recognize that are just
plain dumb. Which is why one hears so much denial from Donald devotees. While there are valid debating points regarding the earthly causes
and responsibility as well as debate over the eventual resolution, it IS Harvey that's in charge.
He's a bit vague on what he intends to do at this point, but I'm sure that the subject will continue to come up in our gab sessions.
Stay tuned, I'll share what he says.
