The only deniers are those that:

Go to Concepcion Bay's El Coyote and stand by the palm trees on the beach... and the same palm is still above the sea, as it has been since the photos taken of it in the 1950's.

Are quick to point to lack of ice at the north pole, but conveniently don't credit the increase of ice at the south pole!

Need to flip a graph upside down or to change the data to make their argument...

and think that man is so mighty and powerful, he can change the weather! Good luck with that!

Big Shelves Of Antarctic Ice Melting Faster Than Scientists Thought

http://www.npr.org/2015/03/26/395379216/big-shelves-of-antar...

Arctic Ice Melting Faster and Earlier With Dire Results

http://www.climatecentral.org/news/arctic-ice-melting-faster...

Not sure which "poles" you are referencing ... I'm talking about the north and south poles of this planet, at this time

All things change ... its call evolution and "it" takes no prisoners :biggrin::biggrin:

Here's a good one on atmospheric change

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleoclimatology

Some may wish to consider man's ability to kill off species ... as a negative impact .. as some are very important to our existence on the planet ... Like the Honey Bee ... there are other critters which have importance in the "web of life" of which we are part of ... on this planet :):)

Just depends on which cycle ya fall into on the planet ... in time :biggrin::biggrin:

An interesting find by the Air Force ... 50 years ago

And they were only trying to get their missiles to work

http://earththeoperatorsmanual.com/segment/4

Don't think the Air Force had any ax to grind on this one ... they just wanted the missiles to work and found out something very interesting ... :):)

OK...I got it; there is "climate change." But nobody has eschewed their cool aid long enough to explain the Great Lakes and how man(or Mastodon) caused that.

Sure there might be some "global warming" (although that hasn't happened in 17 years) and sure there might be more CO2 in the atmosphere but most of that gets sucked up by plants which produce O2 with it and nobody has explained how the changes were caused by man and not caused by nature which has done that a lot of times in the past.

You gottta have a conceit a lot larger than your humility to get all exercised by "man caused climate change."

You ever hear about the mosquito floating down the river on his back with a hard on yelling, "RAISE THE DRAW BRIDGE!"

1952 (Howard Gulick photo)




2012, 59 years later... no rising of the sea level more than the daily and seasonally high/low tide change variations. The length of a cigarette, as some say the oceans have risen, is not a cause for the freaking out.

Now, it really doesn't matter what any of us believe because the earth and Nature will keep on doing what it is going to do.

My gig here is only to have you deniers OPEN YOUR EYES.

Are then ice caps vanishing? Do you think driving a Prius will change that? Does giving your money to Al Gore change anything, but make him richer and you poorer? Does Al Gore spend time answering your questions or showing proof that his predictions have come true? No, he can't because he only can provide projections and predictions.



Edit:

Here they are in a 1971 guidebook cover...

Isn't it amazing that the forefront of the deniers are the hardline conservative right that just happen to either own or be bought and paid for by the huge corporations (mainly Big Oil and Petroleum/Coal etc) that will lose profits if forced to cut back emissions. Yes, jobs will be lost; but better that than half of Miami...... or not.....

Here's a great piece of who's running which show, and who they're afraid of now:

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/angry-us-republicans-...

There are some great quotes in the article, some of which are so two-faced it's comical. Keep on keepin' on, Righty Righties. I'll even loan you one of my shovels.

And yet the palm tree in question is STILL there......STILL above water......STILL alive......

No, of course it's not a conspiracy, that's crazy. What happened is the shape of the sand bottom changed over the years enabling the bay to hold more water without a change in the shoreline.

Obviously. ;)

I will never open another thread with 'Climate Change' in the title. Should have known better and realized that certain Nomads cannot discuss anything in a civil manner. No wonder new participation is dwindling on this forum and regulars are leaving.

This sign should go on the Baja Nomad banner...No Attitudes!

I'm literally laughing my azz off at this one:

You talk about who has a sense of humor? I know I do, 'cause I don't care who you are, that's FUNNY right there.....

BTW, I thought the storybook said the last time Mankind screwed up it rained for forty days and forty nights....... which is it? Who's lying to whom? Now you're afraid of the Pope..... :lol:

I think someone that makes precise and accurate measurements of sea level using a documented datum can produce better sea level data than a luddite that documents sea levels using pictures of palm trees found in old tourist guidebooks.

I trust the scientific method more than the bloviating crank method!
