Every conservative I talk to just doesn't understand the greenhouse effect.

>What do you think about climate change?
>It's fake news bullshit, there's no way that humans are making it hotter the earth already goes through natural heating and cooling cycles!
>That's true but the greenhouse effect doesn't just add heat, it traps heat in the atmosphere by not allowing heat to dissipa-
>NOT MAN MADE! NOT MUH CLIMATE!
>but global heat levels are steadily rising and correlates to humanity using more natural gas. Sea leveling are rising, Arctic ice is melting at an unprecede-
>BUT IT SNOWED IN X STATE
>You're confusing climateand weather. Increases global temperatures can cause extreme weather patterns across the globe. Having snow in unusual places further confirms climate change theory.

At this point they're almost always end up with ad hom attacks and try to change topic. What makes this happen?

Some understand it clearly. However, we also know we aren't the people giving others a pass. Look at China, and India. They pollute the world 10 times more than any county in the world, and what? They get PAID by the rest of the world to clean up. They haven't even tried. China likes to say things and show pictures but it's China. They say things to appease the people of the earth but are the largest polluters by far and still claim they are not.

conservatives should be worried when most of them live in parts of the country where summer can mean <200 dollar electric bills theyre literally the frog in the pot that slowly reaches boiling

I'll admit man-made climate change is real when you admit white genocide is real.

>>134307686
Climate change is real. It's been happening for 463 million years. Humans haven't helped but are not the one cause for it.

>>134307999
point to any mass murdering of white people in the last year and you might not sound like a complete fucking moron by calling it white genocide

just google genocide you fucking inbred

What use is there in understanding fiction?
>>
>>134307029
The planet self regulates itself by evaporation and white sun blocking cloud formation.

The planet is warming up to make more habitable areas. the libtards want to stop it.

I drive a gas guzzling SuV and feed the plants C02 every time I drive. what are you doing to save the planet?

Why don't libtards understand the greenhouse effect?

That's not even true in total, let alone per-capita.
Here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_carbon_dioxide_emissions
China emits about double what the US does in total, and India emits about half as much. Per capita, China's emissions are about half of the US's, or comparable to South Africa. India's per capita emissions are smaller again - comparable to Indonesia.

Sure. Still inefficient. Panels are the only things worth getting right now.

Scott Adams is kind of a moron.

Different models are good at different things, and it's important to try and maintain diversity. How did you manage to become an engineer without noticing this?

>3
It's somewhere between 80% and 120%. This is in the IPCC reports, it's not hard to find out. Did you even look?

>4
What the fuck?
What the fuck.

>5
The chart's can't be "explained away" because they're perfectly fine. It's the interpretation of them that's bullshit.

>6
They're not ignoring the ice on the other pole.

>7
Are you basing this list off a single discussion? Anyway, the world is warming as predicted.

>9
Stop listening to dumbfuck newspapers. They're not particularly good sources for science news.

>10
The models are good at forecasting. Not great, but pretty good.

>11
"Dramatic" doesn't mean you can stand on the beach and watch it happen.
And if random blogs and peer review journals sound equally credible to you...

>12
Why would you assume that our pre-agriculture past is relevant here? Shit that wouldn't bother nomadic hunter-gathers could obviously be a major deal for a nation with major cities and food-growing areas.

>13
The models are required to actually do anything with the basic science.
That's how science works - it builds models.

>14
Jesus Christ No.
