From the linked article:
"After all, the human body can lose three pounds after a good poop."

Sea levels have gone up almost a foot in the last 150 years. Four inches in the last 20 years alone!

Move up the hill before it's too late!

Climate goes through natural cycles mostly because of the suns natural cycles. No doubt we are polluting our world and humans may be playing a small factor in the warming (1 degree over the last century) but the sun determines how hot it is.
Hopefully we are not heading back into the ice age. That would be very bad for humans.

"NOAA fixed the 2016 increase at 0.04 degrees Celsius. The British Met Office reported an even lower rise, of 0.01C. Both increases are well within the margin of error for such calculations, approximately 0.1 degrees, and therefore are dismissed by many scientists as meaningless."

Good point. Now everybody who was convinced that AGW is real based only on the temperature rise from 2015 to 2016 can relax. How many people do you think that is?

What's going on with the collapse of property values due to SLR?

You skipped over the fact that around 2010, all the brilliant skeptics were predicting a cooling trend due to sunspot cycles. They weren't only wrong they were EXTREMELY wrong and exactly the opposite happened.

How much warmer is it now than 2010?

Let me help you. 0.85 degrees over the last century, that is if you BELIEVE that worldwide temps can even be measured.

You call people who question the AGW narrative.deniers. What does that even mean?

So global warming means MORE snowfall? I thought snow required cold?

Are you seriously that ignorant or is this a joke? On the chance that you are serious (see Poe's Law)...

Scientific America: Why Global Warming Can Mean Harsher Winter Weather

[W]armer temperatures in the winter of 2006 caused Lake Erie to not freeze for the first time in its history. This actually led to increased snowfalls because more evaporating water from the lake was available for precipitation.

Skeptical Science: Does record snowfall disprove global warming?

Global warming decreases the likeliness of snowstorm conditions in warmer, southern regions. However, in northern, colder regions, temperatures are often too cold for very heavy snow so warming can bring more favourable snowstorm conditions (Kunkel 2008). This is borne out in observations. Over the last century, there has been a downward trend in snowstorms across the lower Midwest, South and West Coast. Conversely, there's been an increase in snowstorms in the upper Midwest East, and Northeast with the overall national trend also upwards (Changnon 2006).

To claim that record snowfall is inconsistent with a warming world betrays a lack of understanding of the link between global warming and extreme precipitation. Global temperatures in the last few months of record snowfall are some of the hottest on record. Warming causes more moisture in the air which leads to more extreme precipitation events. This includes more heavy snowstorms in regions where snowfall conditions are favourable. Far from contradicting global warming, record snowfall is predicted by climate models and consistent with our expectation of more extreme precipitation events.

“Milder winter temperatures will decrease heavy snowstorms.”

Do you think the ipcc is credible? If so why have their predictions failed?

I don't expect a straight answer but hope to be entertained by your response.

97% OF SCIENTISTS AGREE: GLOBAL WARMING IS MAKING WINTERS COLDER AND MILDER

11   Dan8267   @   2017 Aug 3, 11:20am  

The evidence for man-made climate change and it's dangers is overwhelming. At this point, anyone denying the existence of man-made climate change should be considered a lunatic or pathological liar. Such persons should have zero say in policies.

I have no say in policies.

Can you answer the questions:

This does not seem right. How could the temp have risen over the last 150 years but fallen over the last couple of decades. Help me Dan
