Its really hard to trust Brietbart as a reputable news source.
Although, I ask if climate change was a myth, why is even the US military preparing for its impact?
Also, local weather conditions do not not act as great arbiter of long-term climate. It will still snow in winter and be warm in the summer. Climate is the running average of weather. And seeing extremes is an aspect of climate change. Increased precipitation is expected. So, snowier snowstorms, rainier rainstorms and icier ice flows are predicted. Warm air can hold more moisture than cold, and the air is warming.
There being ice in the arctic and there being more polar bears than before (although that meme lacked a source) appear to be strawmen.
As for the examples I gave, the bleaching of the coral reefs is visible to the human eye. And the plants being able to take root in new areas is also a human-visible shift.
Now, aside from tossing links back and forth, I'd love to understand your point of view. Even if it is a hoax, and we encourage positive, corrective action by ending reliance on fossil fuels and moving to renewable energies and letting the free market take into account externalities (like carbon emissions), isn't that all a net gain?
I typically align with the joke from this comic:
What are your thoughts?
The climate change ships have gotten stuck in ice three years in a row @somethingsubtle. What exactly makes Breitbart reporting this fact, not true?
My issue with Breitbart, at least in this article's case, is that their starting point is not the fact - research boats got stuck in unprecedented ice. Their starting point is pure, unadulterated judgement. "Ship of Fools", warming vs ice.
Consider the way BBC reports on the story:
It asks a question and delivers a theory. It doesn't start with judgement and deliver a story.
And within the report, the increased ice flow is most likely related to an earlier glacial breakup:
And I'll return the question - why do you not trust the US military, the coral reefs that are bleaching, or the plants that are thriving in higher longititudes? No human at all involved in the later two...
Wow, thanks for confirming that Breitbart is telling the truth @somethingsubtle.
Even the biased communist liars at BBC confirm what Breitbart wrote!
Much appreciated!👌🐸
Lying and misguiding are two separate things. The fact was the fact - a research boat got stuck. That fact makes no conclusions about global warming unlike the narrative created by Breitbart.
I'm a little surprised that you are so eager to belief a narrative when you appear to be a very rational and fact-driven individual.
Yeap, Breitbart told the truth, and you conf.irmed the fact @somethingsubtle with the BBC article.
Thanks for that!👌🐸
Thank you for taking the time to explain your position. I still do not quite understand your concerns, but I appreciate you trying to make it clear to me.
Have a great evening/afternoon!
Please run through Al Gore's past climate change predictions @somethingsubtle.
I'd love to see a brainwashed climate change believer like you get forced to tell the truth and deal with facts!
