I'm pretty confident scientists can at a minimum measure the temperature and determine if it's getting hotter on average. I'm not confident they know why it's happening, how it will change or not change in the future. These people don't even know if it will rain tomorrow. And I know for DAMNED SURE the answer isn't to implement communism, reduce energy production or impose higher taxes.

Earth goes in the cyclical process of warming and cooling which can’t be controlled. It isn’t influenced by human activity like these soy boys claim. The real threat to humanity is the government which controls so much power that one psychopath can literally end us all.

Yea they are using an unexplained phenomenon to manipulate the world into a digital control grid similar to what they have in China. China is just the proving grounds for the one world government movement.

I'm not confident that scientists can at a minimum measure the temperature and determine if it's getting hotter on average...without intentionally introducting their own bias into their analysis. Hotter or coler is a realative assessment (i.e. hotter or colder than what?) The timeframe and comparative scope that is chosen can alter the final result... Are we "hotter than" the last ice age? (I'd argue yes) Are we "hotter than" yesterday? (For where I live, the answer is no) So compared to the last ice age we have global warming... Compared to yesterday we have global cooling... Statistics are relative--and it's quite simple to manipulate any statistical result to suit your own purposes and sway opinions....

there's lots of science now saying that we are more likely to see cooling due to the conditions of our sun and the energy coming from the galaxy (and magnetic fields) ~12000 years ago a cycle event happened that recurs every 6000, and every second one is bad, like, super bad, like stone age ice age bad that last time was this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Younger_Dryas for ~1200 years everyone was starving, it was cold and wet, storms, volcanoes and earthquakes were frequent, and then according to many stories, a giant fire dragon flew through the sky, it was reported from west of india across africa and southern europe, and it probably blew up and a bunch of big hot rocks slammed into some parts of what is now USA forming lakes in several places the most likely scenario is in fact that we are going to get bombarded with solar energy because the earth's magnetic field is weakening due to a galactic magnetic field oscillation cycle, there are unusual weather patterns going on, on venus, mars, jupiter, saturn, uranus, neptune and pluto, all of them unprecedented since we have been watching these planets it's a Noah situation, in fact, except we have plenty of science to point to now that proves that a nasty cold time is coming, and that there will be lots of very bad weather, and disasters, and the overwhelming pattern is going to be cold and storms and wet and that's just the warmup, when it fully peaks out, the sun will flare like a son of a bitch, throw out so much gas that a few years later there will be thousands of new little rocks floating around and they will ram everything in sight as well, and the earth's crust may well rotate so that the north pole is now in the Gulf of Mexico taht's just the short version

I’m not so sure about it getting warmer, what time frame? When in doubt, zoom out. Medieval warm period, was just 700 years ago…NOAA charting average global temp by zooming out: https://image.nostr.build/788eb51a9f6f9f50d584e303a46d0d4eb1da39d66c2ab86bd4cf549bebca092b.jpg

Many haven't ever heard of "Global Cooling" but back in the 1970s it was the existential threat to our existence... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tAYXQPWdC0&pp=ygUcZ2xvYmFsIGNvb2xpbmcgbGVvbmFyZCBuaW1veQ%3D%3D

Listen, the doomsday anthropogenic climate change scam hasn't even got off the runway yet, but when it does, you'll know. It's the scam to end all scams because the proposed solution is technocratic global government managing all the worlds energy consumption using AI.

I agree with all your points, even though I have some degree of skepticism a out our actual ability to make measurements of the remote past. Those errors are compounded enormously in the so called predictive models, so I think they're worthless. And in any case, it is absolutely ridiculous to think that, even if they get the past and the future right, they know how to fine tune the aggregated whole of the actions of 8 plus billion individuals, State-mandated violent coercion or not. Add to all this the undeniable fact that science has been fully coopted by the State, so it is virtually impossible to be a professional scientist who eats two warm meals a day outside the State-sponsored narrative...

I was watching a heart felt video on saving the harp seals yesterday and was reminded at the call to action at the end that some people feel that it’s all a conspiracy theory or something. I rolled my eyes. And then I remembered that’s how I feel about the space program 😆 Each person has their own view on what hits a chord of sentiment and what hits one of suspicion Scientists can’t tell you if it’s going to rain tomorrow but they can measure and provide data. with that said a village elder can’t measure or provide data for shit but will be able to tell if it’s going to rain tomorrow It’s not going to rain tomorrow

China knows... this year they had about the same percentage of renewable generation as the US. The rate of change is a bit different though: https://image.nostr.build/7c6c4ed80e0b5dbbde8c140fb4c2892ff5219abf725dbb8ece34f88e06c96f1e.jpg

The data is pretty clear that there has been a dramatic change in atmospheric composition and climate stability. That said, austerity and fine grained control is a solution that only benefits a small number of people. Moar energy and basic, loophole free regulation is the solution that benefits everyone.

just for the sake of argument. if you acknowledge 'we don't know why it's happening'..., how come you be 'dammed sure the answer isnt communism, reducing energy or higher taxes' either we dont know WHY and then we also dont know WHAT TO DO.. or we know WHY and know WHAT TO DO

Because these things (bigger centralized governments) NEVER work to solve anything, they always make the problems worse Individuals choices and entrepreneurial innovation solve problems, not higher taxes and bureaucracy
