Has anybody even taken a look at a GLOBE? Most of the surface of the Earth is WATER. Today's scientific knowledge of climate can't even scratch the surface of this wild and unpredictable system.

For someone who denies climate scientists exist, you sure claim a lot of scientific authority.
Let's just say I do not deny wingnuts exist.

Interesting segment on today's PBS News Hour
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/wi...urvive-or-sink
Tangier Island is disappearing due to climate change. Yet:
Quote:
James “Ooker” Eskridge:
And we can see the effects of erosion daily, weekly for sure. But the sea level rise, things just look the same to me as they did when I was a boy.
I have been working the bay for 50 years, and pretty much day in, day out. And I just don't see any difference in the sea level.
John Yang:
The debate has drawn national attention, largely because 87 percent of the island's voters went for President Trump, a climate change skeptic.
That prompted CNN to visit last summer.
James “Ooker” Eskridge:
I love Trump as much as any family member I got.
John Yang:
After the broadcast, the president called Eskridge and told him the island would be around for hundreds of years more.
Earl Swift:
There's a great distrust of expertise, of scientific expertise.

Moron president* is telling these poor, ignorant folks that the climate change that is, without a shadow of a doubt, destroying their island, is "fake". And they believe the ass, despite the obvious.
Sigh. How is it possible, in the 21st century, in this great country, that anti science fools are so prevalent? It boggles the mind.

I saw a neighbor woman who's little girl had a pacemaker put in a couple weeks ago. I asked her;
"How's your little girl?"
"She's doing wonderful!"
"Well, thank God for the miracles of modern science."
"Science aint got nothin' to do with it! All the glory goes to God, Praise Jesus!!!!"
That, right there is the problem.
The doctors, surgeons, nurses and technicians...… The decades of research by smart people around the globe that led to this moment.....All meaningless because "Jesus got MY back! I am highly favored!". Well, let's see. We've had religion for thousands of years but, sick little girls like hers usually didn't live to see 10 just thirty-forty years ago.
Could this be bullshit?

I saw this cartoon when I was about 12 or so and saved it for many years. It showed a computer installation of the time, a big room full of complex equipment, tended by white-coated technicians--the tangible products of the highest achievements of man's society and intellect. One of the technicians is gazing out the window though, where he sees a worker sawing a limb off a tree. The worker is perched on the limb that will be sawed-off.
Organized for smartness, we can be pretty smart. By ourselves, we can be pretty stupid.
And you really have to watch out for organized stupidity.

So true. And this quote speeks to why I'm such a proponent of home schooling:
"The trouble with our Liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so." -- Ronald Reagan

Startling new research finds large buildup of heat in the oceans, suggesting a faster rate of global warming
As if the hurricanes weren’t evidence enough for the idiot deniers, now the oceans are heating, which will result in even more and more potent hurricanes, not to mention killing off sea life. How will Fox “News” report this?

Holding up very well, Whell, you moron, According to the Trump Administration’s own report. Too bad you’re too cowardly to defend your posts.
