SkyDekker 1,121 #2 April 26, 2022 Still calls for changes to avoid negative effects of climate change, just disagrees with the pace of it. That study doesn't agree with your standpoint that climate change is not negative, no changes have to be made and the there is a net benefit to warming.

So far the facts are in agreement with my position, (declining climate related deaths and growing food supply). Humans are well suited adapt to any climate related challenges we may face in the future, we have been doing it for tens of thousands of years,(and without the benefit of modern technology). No need for a carbon tax or green energy boondoggles. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So even when you think the "facts" align with you view, you tend to be wrong. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why would I want to refute that? I am waiting for you to provide evidence of the correlation and causation. You seem to think that less people dying from falling of buildings must mean gravity doesn't work, or people have learned to fly. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's what he does - bait with some cherry-picked links, then challenge people to refute it, even if he hasn't done any work since it's someone else's points in the first place. If someone actually does the work to refute it, he'll just drop it and move on to the next topic. That's all he's got to contribute. Rinse, repeat, ad infinitum. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You seem to think that less people dying from falling of buildings must mean gravity doesn't work, or people have learned to fly. I just need to show that climate change is NOT leading to more climate related deaths and reduced food production, and I have done that quite nicely. I don’t need to get into the weeds about how elevated levels of CO2 are good for plants or how EF4 and EF5 tornadoes are now exceedingly rare. That ground has already been plowed. Ball is in your court, make the case for the existential threat of man-made climate climate change and what, when, where and how we are going to do something about it.

I have been waiting 19 years and no one has been up to the task. Perhaps you would like to take a crack at it. Show me that we are currently in a CO2 driven “climate crisis” posing an existential threat to humanity. If that is beyond your capacity (and I suspect it is) I suggest you go back on the porch and take a seat, my young friend. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You aren't showing men have learned to fly cause less people are dying from falling off buildings. Because deaths from natural disasters are down does not automatically prove that climate change is not leading to more climate related deaths. Again, you are failing to provide evidence of correlation. But, I don't think you actually care about this, science or anything like that. All you really care about is being able to laugh at memes that "own the libs". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No. The fact that deaths from natural disasters are down doesn't necessarily prove that climate change does not have an adverse effect on deaths. Again causation and correlation. But I know that isn't very meme "own the libs" worthy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkyDekker 1,121 #25 April 26, 2022 Just now, brenthutch said: No, just piling on. Appears that your understanding of correlation and causation is as strong as your understanding of "pilling on" and "continue digging." Since you aren't presenting evidence there isn't much else to discuss. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
