No Harry you,as you frequently do,are missing the point. There was nothing in the article denying the climate is changing,what was in the article is the fact millions of people are not going to die in a few years due to a changing climate,major cities are not going to be under water due to the changing climate. Sure the climate is changing and people will need to change accordingly,so what people have been changing due to climate change forever and the human race has the ability to change as needed and will change as needed in the future.
You believe things that can’t be objectively proven because you are told to and dismiss those which can so it doesn’t matter if you’re convinced or not.Originally Posted by RPETER65
Frankly you’re just lucky that you’re dim enough to not realize just how embarrassing your stupidity is.
So so you Harry how many degrees do you have in climate science,oh let me guess—————-NONE, no your just spouting what you have read or someone told you,you have no more credence in climate science than me or anyone else. You might as well stop with the your to stupid garbage as I say you,not being a scientist,have no credibility. Isn’t that what you say Harry,not being a scientist it doesn’ Mean squat. Like I said keep quiet and stop embarrassing yourself.
The difference being he is posting what climate scientists are saying whereas you as posting utter drivel from right-wing echo-chamber blogs and the like.
You lack the intellectual ability to be able to distinguish good from bad sources and the intellectual integrity to admit it even if you could.
I posted an article from the Washington Examiner you claimed it was owned by the moonies,false
You claimed Christianity to be a cult,false
You claimed I am a member of a cult,false
That was a simple mistake as I thought the article was from the Washington Times. They are both trash fake news propaganda sites that have a specific agenda. They do not employ legitimate journalists.
Umm not I claimed the evangelical sect of the church to be a cult which it is.

Please read one of several sources that confirm my claim. You have never denied being an evangelical in the past.
Once again as always you FAIL.

Disappearing frontier: Alaska's glaciers retreating at record pace
Yereth Rosen
ANCHORAGE (Reuters) - Alaska will soon close a year that is shaping up as its hottest on record, with glaciers in the “Frontier State” melting at record or near-record levels, pouring waters into rising global seas, scientists said after taking fall measurements.
Lemon Creek Glacier in Juneau, where records go back to the 1940s, had its second consecutive year of record mass loss, with 3 meters erased from the surface, U.S. Geological Survey glaciologist Louis Sass told Reuters.
Melt went all the way up to the summit, said Sass, one of the experts who travel to benchmark glaciers to take measurements in the fall.
“That’s a really bad sign for a glacier,” he said, noting that high-altitude melt means there is no accumulation of snow to compact into ice and help offset lower-elevation losses.
At Wolverine Glacier on the Kenai Peninsula south of Anchorage, loss was the second highest in a record that goes back to the 1960s. Sass said it failed to match the record set in 2004 only because so much of the glacier had already melted.
“The lower part’s completely gone now,” he said.
Drastic melting was also reported at Kenai Fjords National Park, which former President Barack Obama once visited to call attention to climate change. There, Bear Glacier, a popular tourist spot, retreated by nearly a kilometer in just 11 months, according to August measurements by the National Park Service.
“It’s almost like you popped it and it started to deflate,” said Nate Lewis, a Seward-based wilderness guide who takes travelers into the new lake that has formed at the foot of the shrinking glacier.
Even one of the few Alaska glaciers that had been advancing, Taku just southeast of the city of Juneau, is now losing ice at a fast clip.
Particularly ominous is the high altitude at which Taku is melting, said Mauri Pelto, who heads the North Cascades Glacier Climate Project. This year, the summer melt reached as high as 1,450 meters, 25 meters above the previous high-altitude record set just last year, he said.
Now that it is retreating, Taku is expected to start casting off big ice chunks, increasing Alaska’s already significant contribution to rising sea levels, according to a study co-authored by Sass and Shad O’Neel, a glaciologist with the U.S. Geological Survey. The study is scheduled to be presented at the annual conference of the American Geologic Union next week in San Francisco.
Alaska recorded its warmest month ever in July and the trend has continued.
“Alaska is on pace to break their record for warmest year unless December is dramatically cooler than forecasted,” Brian Brettschneider, a climatologist with the University of Alaska Fairbanks’ International Arctic Research Center, said in a Dec. 1 tweet.
Alaska’s glaciers account for far less than 1 percent of the world’s land ice. But their melt contributes roughly 7 percent of the water that is raising the world’s sea levels, according a 2018 study published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters and co-authored by O’Neel.
There are also local impacts. Scientists say glacial melt affects salmon-spawning streams and harms marine fish and animal habitats. It is creating new lakes in the voids where ice used to be, and outburst floods from those lakes are happening more frequently, scientists say.
Changes in the glaciers and the ecosystems they feed has been so fast that they are hard to track, said O’ Neel at USGS, who measured the melt at Wolverine Glacier last month. “Everything’s been pretty haywire lately.”

What are you dribbling on about you senile old twat?
I don't claim to be producing climate science, I simply said I understand it.
You on the other hand post easily debunked climate science hoaxes from dubious websites usually supported by the fossil fuel industry.
Because you are a stupid dickhead and you don't know what you're doing.
And that's different from what you do how exactly?Originally Posted by RPETER65
I don't know how many more obvious signals they need.
For decades Victoria Falls, where southern Africa’s Zambezi river cascades down 100 metres into a gash in the earth, have drawn millions of holidaymakers to Zimbabwe and Zambia for their stunning views.
But the worst drought in a century has slowed the waterfalls to a trickle, fuelling fears that climate change could kill one of the region’s biggest tourist attractions.
While they typically slow down during the dry season, officials said this year had brought an unprecedented decline in water levels.
“In previous years, when it gets dry, it’s not to this extent,” Dominic Nyambe, a seller of tourist handicrafts in his 30s, said outside his shop in Livingstone, on the Zambian side. “This [is] our first experience of seeing it like this.
“It affects us because ... clients ... can see on the internet [that the falls are low] ... We don’t have so many tourists.”
As world leaders gather in Madrid for the COP25 climate change conference to discuss ways to halt catastrophic warming caused by human-driven greenhouse gas emissions, southern Africa is already suffering some of its worst effects – with taps running dry and about 45 million people in need of food aid amid crop failures.
