Maybe that hole in the ozone layer was supposed to be there.

Climate change has been going on for 4.5 billion years, we are just here to notice this small slice of time.

If we stop putting corn in our gas tanks there will be more to eat.

One of my professors once said, if you piss upstream of where your buddy is drinking that's pollution, if pissing down stream it isn't.  Too many people pissing upstream.

CORN certainly isn't the answer for ANYONE!  Get behind HEMP my dude. It's all about the seed, not the weed (in your pipe).

More on the Greenland ice loss:

you're an educated man, Greenland is fairly close in proximity to Iceland. See where I'm going with this??? Being one of the planets hottest volcanic locations I'm making a correlation.  Discuss.

There is mot much to discuss there. Iceland has been geologically active for a very long time. The Greenland ice sheets have started increasing their melt rate only recently.

Did you watch the drama unfold last year on the BIG island. I for one am totally fascinated by anything volcano... The take away: This is the most studied volcano on the planet, and when the caldera suddenly drained suddenly and sprang up miles away in the middle of a development, well, that's impressive! The exact same thing happens on Iceland. Did I mention these two islands (Greenland/Iceland) share what I would call "close proximity"??? There is MUCH going on under the surface that we have NO idea about. I don't see my correlation being far fetched.

I will assume then that you have nothing more than your feelings that this is kind of cool to go on.

Granddad away's said, got a hunch, bet a bunch. My overwhelming common sense gets in the way... I HAVE A HYPOTHESIS!!!  That's a Dinosaur Train reference if you didn't get it.

Well I hope you keep your gambling under control and don’t try to make a living at it!

What? Me smile? I just had a quick peak at Google Earth. A glance tells me that Greenland and Iceland are about as close together as New York City and Chicago are. FWIW.

That's practically on top of each other as seen from Mars.

They're not.  In fact the absolute closest they get is ~200 miles.  And the area that is melting most rapidly now is over 1000 miles away from Iceland.  In fact it's a lot closer to Clyde River, Canada than Iceland.  No volcanoes in Clyde River that I know of.

I believe it is the earliest "S" named storm ever.

Because...... science!

I read it, land use bla bla, grasslands yada yada.  The point is, contrary to alarmists predictions, global fires are going down and substantially.

But those global fires aren't down due to global warming or any other factors really related to global warming, so what is your point posting it here?

Sure, the increased risk of global warming on wild fires is currently mitigated by non-related factors, but that doesn't say anything about global warming. (never mind that the mitigated areas are in Africa and South America, which is hardly consoling for those who are being affected by the increased risk of wild fires in California, Oregon, etc.)

That would have made it impossible to make his point, so of course not.

Maybe, but as the attached chart clearly shows, volcano usage worldwide has been on a steady increase.

Then why should he? That makes no sense. I'm not sure who's in charge of mowing those Asian Grasslands but as the attached chart shows landscaping has been on a steady rise in the US at the same time that landline use has been going down. Coincidence? Cause-effect? There must be a reason. No reading required.

I’m glad you pointed this out.  CAGW theory says we should have more hurricanes as temperatures rise, and as NOAA has illustrated, we have both an increase in temperature and no trend in hurricanes.  According to scientific principle this would invalidate this portion of CAGW theory. Apply this sober analysis across the board and one is left with an irrational, blubbering puddle of emotion and not a rational theory.

The 2020 Atlantic hurricane season is an ongoing tropical cyclone season. So far, it has featured a total of 21 tropical cyclones, 20 tropical storms, eight hurricanes, and one major hurricane.^{[nb 1]} With 20 named storms, it is the second most active Atlantic hurricane season on record, tied with the 1933 Atlantic hurricane season, and behind only the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season. The season officially started on June 1 and will officially end on November 30; however, the formation of tropical cyclones is possible at any time, as illustrated by the formations of tropical storms Arthur and Bertha, on May 16 and 27, respectively, marking the record sixth consecutive year with pre-season systems. During the season, Tropical Storm Cristobal and 16 later systems have broken the record for the earliest formation by storm number. In addition, the season is the first to see seven named tropical cyclones make landfall in the continental United States before September.^[2][3] This activity has been fueled by an ongoing La Niña, which developed during the summer months of 2020.

I disagree.  It's the number of pirates that determines how fast the Earth is warming and thus how many fires there are.  And I have proof below.

Let's see all those climate change alarmists refute that with science - THEY CAN'T!

See, no mention of man made climate change.
