You should read the conclusions of the article. Every university agrees, too. You blow your entire credibility when you even question that.

It's done a lot. New buildings and infrastructure along coastlines are being completed with future sea level rise accounted for. People can make informed decisions before deciding whether to buy those properties along coastlines, or move north or south. Cities like New Orleans and Miami can begin planning for the future. We can make informed decisions re: what we want to do as a society, if anything, about the anthropogenic global warming. We can start planning to grow more crops at higher latitudes, or maybe fewer at lower latitudes. List goes on and on.

I need context. I'm not aware of this claim, which was obviously not mainstream (like the current claims that man is causing global warming). Who said it, what was their qualifications and what was the exact quote because you wingers constantly take things out of context.

Who's "they?" Are you gonna cite another cherry-picked random guy?

I'm not, but I know enough about science in general to defer to those with the most expertise; those with PhDs in climatology. The best authorities are those doing climate research at universities or NOAA. On the other hand, the dumb wingers want to defer to cherry-picked non-climatologists (many of which aren't even scientists at all) that say what they want to hear from Breitbart or Fox News. It's pathetic.

Correct, I'm working in the applied science field. So you're only a scientist if you did "LONG TERM" research?

As indicted above, I did a Masters Thesis

Yes I did a thesis and am a state licensed professional geologist, still working in the field

A geologist is a scientist. Omg are you dense.

Whoever claimed that he said earth would cool 11 degrees is a liar.

Cav did.

Its very different to anybody w very basic math, logic or science background. For example, today was 5 degrees cooler than yesterday. If present trends continue well be below freezing in 10 days. True, technically, but can you see how that is very different from simply saying it will be beloelw freezing in 10 days? It's very basic.

Yes. He said, "if present trends continue..." That's very different from saying it will either way

But you lied. He didn't say the earth would cool by that amount. Liar!!!

Masters in Geology. Yes, I'm a scientist but not close to being an authority on climate. Regardless, the words "if present trends continue" that he provided makes your own claim a total lie.

The statement "if present trends continue" makes it completely different. Today was 5 degrees cooler than yesterday. If present trends continue well be below freezing in 10 days. True, technically, but the context makes it somewhat worthless. Doesn't mean much. You'd have to be pretty dumb to think that means that it WILL happen.

First, he was an ecologist, not climatologist. Second, he said "if present trends continue..." which makes it a completely different claim. Third, he was an outlier even if he was making that claim (which he wasnt). YOURE A TOTAL LIAR AND BUSTED. Has zero relevancy to anthropogenic climate change, which is unanimously accepted by actual climatologists.

You talking about thus? From an article: "In 1970, ecologist Kenneth Watt told a Swarthmore College audience: "The world has been chilling sharply for about 20 years. If present trends continue, the world will be about 4 degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990 but 11 degrees colder in the year 2000. This is about twice what it would take to put us into an ice age."

Show me

He said he'd like to be part of NATO. That's an ask. It's very simple. Never implied he would force it to happen. You did a Google search and cherry picked whatever you could find that used that word but 99% of the statements say he wants it or asked for it.

Then Google the difference between a,demand and want. Countless articles explaining the difference. There are actually multiple differences.

You should learn to read. Waiting for a quote from him that shows a "demand" to join NATO. STILL WAITING.

How many said that, and how does that mean that EVERY climatologist is wrong on this particular issue? You're going back 50 years. Pathetic. Can u also show me one scientist that made those claims? It's literally almost as obvious as the sky being blue. Unreal.

Show me the quote where he demanded to be part of NATO.

Another fail. He didn't demand to be part of NATO. You're just drinking other peoples Kool aid.
