Thirty Years On, How Well Do Global Warming Predictions Stand Up?

It's generally not a good idea to take hyperbole literally.

One has to take this one serious . One has to put it in context of what is observable. The anti - birth crowd and the 12 years shouters are part of the same crew.

1. There is an anti-birth crowd?

2. "Thirty years ago, a NASA scientist, James Hansen, told lawmakers at a Senate hearing that “global warming is now large enough that we can ascribe with a high degree of confidence a cause-and-effect relationship with the greenhouse effect.” He added that there “is only 1 percent chance of accidental warming of this magnitude.”

This is the first sentence of this review of 30 YEARS of getting nowhere on climate change. The statistical certainty of greenhouse climate change has now risen to the 'five sigma' level, that is, from 1/100 chance of error to 1/1,000,000. That is what the '12-year shouters' are shouting about.

1) Yes. They have a very powerful influence in large cities. Here in NYC the propaganda against reproduction is pervasive; abortion is talked about with a casual air: no sign of qualms or queasiness.
Anecdotally many people here view children as a menace to life and progress. First the attitude was distinctly white middle class. Now it has spread to many different classes and ethnic groups. Only the Hispanics seem to be resisting.

2) I would just hope the shouters make their argument and leave the children out of it.

As usual, you're a tool and a dull one at that. The freshwoman, AOC has you poor old cons in a lather, breathlessly awaiting a leftwing Teabagger movement to destroy the Democratic Party the way your morons destroyed the GOP. I've heard that if you hold your breath long enough, you'll turn blue, Mike.

Typical nonsense. AOC has establishment Dems far more "in a lather" than she does anyone on the right.

The MSM loves to quote her and feature her. She's become the darling. And it only makes sense - Dems are more fond or soshulism than capitalism, at least according to Gallup, and of course according to some of the commentary here.

AOC isn't the only evidence of the continuing leftward shift of the Dem party. Bernie's success in 2016 emboldened a number of far left Dems to jump into the mix. As the Atlantic says quite succinctly, though: The future of the Democratic Party looks a lot like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

You can try to distance yourself all you want. You've celebrated the "demographic changes" that you think spell doom for Repubs, and maybe they will. But don't under-estimate how those same changes might impact the Dems as well.

Don'cha love it when Whell gets all condescending, as if he actually understands anything at all, lol. Too funny!

Bet'cha his bestest hero is Spiro Agnew.

Not really. MAGAMedia has at least a story a day about AOC. In any event, I'll take here and her two Muslim sisters over over Matt Gaetz, Louie Gohmert and Steve King.

...and twice on Sunday. After today's antics from Matt Gaetz, he should keep a sharp eye on his six for the next few years. I was watching Donnie Deutch on the tube today and the attack on Mike Cohen's wife and family won't go unnoticed. Stupid fecker.

You really should stop getting all your news from Hannity and crew, it shows.

ps those 'demographic changes' that you're so worried about are unlikely to take place within my or your lifetimes, you nattering nabob of negativity.

Another useless post. I provided links to support my statements in the post that you responded to. None of them were from "Humanity". They were from publications that even you would consider mainstream.

If you're going to respond, please at least try to respond with something that makes some level of sense.

I'm sure you would. And just think, at one time you were a John Kasich supporter. You continue your leftward drift...
