Default Climate Change for Wingers (IOW "made simple")

Explain how burning gasoline in L.A. is making the planet Pluto hotter.



How exactly do you jump to that conclusion from what I wrote? I was
saying that the combustion of fossil fuels in a highly populated area
like L.A. was enough to have a major impact on the environment. It
basically ruined the air quality. I used to live there. I'm saying
that if man can negatively affect the quality of the air in a local
area like L.A. why is it a big jump to think man can do the same thing
on a planet wide scale? Or why can't man increase the temperature of
the planet if he burns enough fossil fuel? Not only do I think we can
do that I think we did do it. Lots of climate scientists say we did
too. I'll believe them over what a coal company says any day of the
week. The question is why would you believe a coal or an oil company
when they tell you global warming is not caused by using their products?

Ok, then explain how burning oil, coal, or gasoline anywhere on Earth,
not just locally in L.A., is making the planet Pluto hotter.


We're talking about earth here, dingbat, not Pluto. Are a lot of cattle
farting tons of methane into the atmosphere on Pluto? Oh, I guess not
Pluto doesn't have an atmosphere. Are Pluto's inhabitants burning a lot of
coal there? There is no correlation between Pluto and earth, which even
you should know.


Ok, I give up. Tell me how are the cows farting on Earth making the planet
Pluto get hotter?



I just saw a program yesterday called extreme ice. It was about scientists
studying ice all over the world. Glaciers and ice sheets are melting at a
rapid rate. Columbia glacier in Alaska is melting like mad. Evidence of
the increased rate of glaciers melting into the oceans is unequivocal.
Evidence from the warming in the Arctic and in Greenland's ice sheets
shows them melting rapidly. Much faster than expected from the past.
Evidence from ice from 400,000 years ago shows Co2 levels to be much
higher than any time from that period until now. The evidence just keeps
mounting that global warming is a fact. But if you don't know the facts
you might think otherwise. You obviously are not acquainted with the
facts. Not a surprise to me.



That show was made especially for dopes like you.
