What he meant was, because it snowed in Greenland every winter for the last 100 years, there isn’t any Global Warming, even though the fact that stuff was covered up 100 years ago is finally uncovered is actually proof of Global Warming.
That is a great quote. talk about appreciating the beauty and wonder of the natural earth and marvelous awesomeness.Too bad that so many people don’t see things that way.If the big rich powers felt like that instead of worshipping money and warmongering to get that money instead of being sociopaths who have no conscience, we would have a truly beautiful and peaceful world.
I’m still trying to figure out whether this cartoon is trying to suggest that the Climate Change Agreement is actually a way of putting off making any serious changes indefinitely. We always seem to celebrate making commitments to act, then forget to actually do anything.
So, so many issues…Ice cores have been studied, which gives us over 100,000 years of data. They confirm the Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) hypothesis.Asking “ice a mile thick or warm weather” is a nonsensical pairing. Warm or TOO warm is more to the point here.Greenland got its name because Erik the Red wanted to encourage settlers from Iceland, so he named it Greenland. It had nothing to do with its actual ability to support growth, which is actually worse than Iceland. The Icelanders colony was eventually abandoned.
Actually, they didn’t get that long a delay, and even though not “legally binding”, the agreement of almost 200 nations that climate change is real, and something does need to be done, is a step long overdue. That folks with the science background of a chipmunk still deny that the change is real, and a threat, shouldn’t be the basis for further inaction. Small step, but it’s finally a step in the right direction.
Nice! But it won’t have any impact on the right wing delusions. Invincible, willful ignorance combined with a good measure of self-referential confirmatory biases. It’s sad, really.
denis1112 — you know so much more than the accumulated research by thousands of scientists over the last 150 years! Impressive. But Greenland got it’s name from the colonizing Norsemen who found it uninhabitable and settled in Iceland. It was early propaganda: they wanted other settlers to leave the better island (Iceland) to themselves, and diverted them to the “better” Green Land which was frozen over.

As glaciers recede they are finding relics from WWI which took place about 100 years ago. So that means the glaciers weren’t there 100 years ago.

Why get rid of the evidence,when you can just go on ignoring it?
