re: #70 tshinkle

Arctic sea ice, then and now.

Higher-than-average temps vs lower-than-average temps, and record highs vs record lows

Accurate scientific rebuttal to every other lame talking point you spewed.

Oh, and another epic critical thinking fail on your part: the reason the Malthusian population bomb didn’t occur was because we learned to make extra nitrogen for fertilizer. If it hadn’t been for that discovery, yes, there would have been mass starvation. And the ozone hole? It shrank after Ronald Reagan restricted the chemicals that were destroying it. If it hadn’t been for those restrictions, the hole would have continued to grow. And heterosexual AIDS is an enormous problem in Africa, where there are all kinds of barriers to safe sex education that don’t exist here (at least, not in places that don’t rely on abstinence-only idiocy).

Do you understand this? That if action is taken to mitigate an impending disaster, the disaster doesn’t occur?

As for this bit of derpitude:

The amount of bad that happens in the world has an inverse relationship to the strength of the US, so I would want us to be extremely careful to make sure the science is truly settled before dramatic changes are made

I’m so glad, for America’s sake, that the US military is smarter and more forward-thinking that you.
