Climate Hoax

You are asking a Viking if climatologists can comment?  Well i guess a Viking can comment on whether a climatologist can comment but Vikings aren't experts so ... 

So if you aren't a climatologist yourself, then who should you listen to for your climate information? 

Am I dumb to actually look to the climatologists? 

I'll also go to a doctor if I have a medical issue. The dumb wingers probably ask an electrician.

I feel like a good veteran  plumber is a far better “doctor” vs an electrician.  Electricians are slightly more Arrogant.    Take my advice and go to a plumber.

Whoever tells me what I want to hear.

I listen to the experts. It's very simple. I listen to climatologists for climate knowledge. Not Mr. Conspiracy whack job. 

So... weather scientists can't comment on climate, but climate scientists can comment on weather?

And you're smart enough to determine who the real expert is?

My plumber gave me good advice on which balm to purchase for a burn I received.  My lawyer was unhappy that I had used a balm.

Maybe we should only take advice from wingers not from Vikings telling us what wingers think.

I already said that anybody can comment on whatever they want. The idiots will pay attention to what a meteorologist says about climate and ignore the climatologists.  I don't blame the meteorologist, but rather the idiots that see him her as a climate expert.

I’d trust a good, experienced, meteorologist over a climatologist.  They both use the same data, the same tools, but the meteorologist is a lot less prone to groupthink.

It's all one big conspiracy theory. The wingers are unreal!!

They don't use the same data, at least not in the same way for the small amount that overlaps. VERY different subjects. You obviously know very little about either area. Almost all meteorologists will acknowledge that they aren't climate experts.

Is this a 'dog on Cali' thread?

If so, I am in.

Where did your skills in this department get developed?

I know more than most people. I taught college earrh science for a couple semesters. It included chapters on climate and weather.

Are there climatologists who claim to be experts?  Or is that a badge that only you can bestow?

Ah *I poop my pants, don't laugh at me*.  So we can lump Cali and Jersey in to one boat...

Le me tell ya'll something... 20 years ago?  Everyone was like "You know what's wrong with Philadelphia?  People from New Jersey live in Philly.  Know what's wrong with New Jersey?  People from New Jersey are from New Jersey."

Now when you compare that to turdbrains from Cali?  Gawd.  I'd rather live in back alley of Newark with an old, retired show donkey than in the $HlT-hole state of California.

California is a beautiful state with wonderful weather, but it’s like a bowl of cereal.  If you take out all the fruits and nuts, all you’re left with is the flakes.

Having been to Cali, I agree at is raw beauty.

It's the people that make it suck.

I am pretty much excluding the folks on here from Cali, as there are still some 30 million+ good folks from Cali... it's the crappy 5-10 million phuktarts that screw it up for everyone else.

California is the larger manufacturing state in the US, has the world’s 4th largest economy, and has seen population growth steadily over the last three years.  
 

People should stop blindly falling for the silly emotion filling click bait. They bungled COVID, but have since gotten things back on track.

Most of the country, save Martha’s Vineyard, has experienced population growth over the last three years.

California's recent population growth: slower than the national average

For several years, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, California experienced a decline in population. The state lost nearly 1% of its population by July 1, 2021, a significant shift from decades of steady growth. 

However, more recently, there are signs of a rebound:

• In 2024, California's population increased by 0.59%, a greater increase than the 0.14% growth experienced in 2023.
• California's population rose by an estimated 108,000 people in 2023, marking the second consecutive year of growth following pandemic-related declines.
• A report from the Governor of California indicated a population increase of over 225,000 people between July 1, 2023, and June 30, 2024, revised upwards from previous estimates. 

Despite these recent gains, California's population growth rate in 2024 (0.6%) still lags behind the national average of 0.9%

If you guys are trying to point out something I said as not true, you’re not doing a very good job. (Guess you didn’t want to discuss the manufacturing or economy.  I thought those were hugely important topics?)

 But please, continue…

Somebody w a PhD in climatology is an expert, especially if they're also working in the field. 

It's very simple.

No one can take someone touting Cali as a good state seriously.
