    Why do you keep posting a gif of Pelosi sinking your party even further into the depths of irrelevancy? When people laugh at that, they're not laughing with you, they're laughing at you.

    The Earth was a molten rock largely because it was constantly being bombarded with meteorites and planetoids during the early stages of the solar system. As the planets formed (i.e. as these planetoids and meteors combined) and less impacts took place, the planet eventually cooled over the course of a billion years.

    But yes, the water on the planet is thought to have been obtained from some of those comet impacts.

    I am totally fine with the President's men trying to pretend that they really wanted Pelosi to rip up his speech and become such a glorious meme that lives rent free inside Trump's head.

    It's pollution, and it blocks the sun's rays. You want to clean the atmosphere to eliminate global warming, but all you would do is make the Earth hotter with harmful sun rays, so stop trying to play God.

    yes it did, it was called Anthropogenic global warming, (global warming for short, or AGW) The Anthropogenic part being humans contributing to the warming, as in burning fossil fuels and that would release CO2 which is a greenhouse gas, more greenhouse gas = warmer planet.

    Climate Change is a useless term when talking about extra greenhouse gas, which is what the whole theory is based on. The Climate has ALWAYS changed. there is not a point in time where the climate was not changing. Anthropogenic global warming is a perfect term when talking about man adding extra CO2 and increasing the greenhouse effect, which is what the whole discussion was about. Climate Change is a perfect term if you want to blame every weather event on it. Its hard to blame extreme cold on "warming". The fact that Anthropogenic global warming is no longer used should be a big red flag to most people

    That is not an answer to the question. That is your theory and it is devoid of any facts or any reasonable explanation as to why we are responsible for all of this. So glaciers have been forming and melting for millions of years but now humans are responsible for this phenomena?

    What about clouds? Are humans responsible every time it rains somewhere in the world?

    LOL - We were told in the 70's the Ozone would be gone by now if women kept using hairspray.

    The overall concentrations of ozone in the atmosphere, worldwide, have not increased since 1997, but are the same today as they were back then.

    Guess what, it's still there.

    Do you think there was a massive explosion of energy that created round stars, and round planets to go a certain distance, stop, and start orbiting those stars due to the size of the star? A planet like Pluto, tiny and 3.6 billion miles away, can stay in orbit without falling away or being drawn to the planets close to it. Comets that orbit in an oval shape, close enough to the sun that gravity should suck it right in. How does a planet the size of Mercury, so close to the sun, not get sucked into the sun? At 28 million miles away, it's basically touching the surface.

    Science can dream up some crazy scenarios to avoid simple answers.

    Nobody has led you to believe we wanted Pelosi to rip the President's speech up. You keep posting it like it's a jab, but the joke is on you.

    No, the name never changed.

    Climate Change, AGW, and Global Warming are all acceptable terms and they have been for years.

    No, we mean to remove a certain percentage of greenhouse gases from the upper atmosphere if it is feasible.

    I already answered your question - multiple times now. Here is again. "I already explained that glaciers melting in the past because of other reasons, like a meteor strike or volcanic activity or solar intensity or orbital variability, does not mean that humans are incapable of melting glaciers today. You dodged again with the same fallacy and I answered - AGAIN.

    You appear to think that answering the question with a question is the only way to answer a question. It is not. Try again.

    Why does the fact that glaciers melted millions of years ago mean that humans are incapable of melting glaciers today?

    If you dont want to answer that question, then please answer the following: Do you think it is possible that you will ever be convinced that humans are almost certainly responsible for most of the current warming trend?

    I have no clue what this garbled post is supposed to mean. You appear to doubt the existent or the effects of gravity, but again, I don't know.

    If you want an explanation for the concepts of how the solar system formed, might I suggest watching a "Cosmos" Episode.

    Yes but enough about you. My reply was to Bowerbird.

    I see you are still having trouble with the truth.

    What your article actually says:

    The evidence for human influence on the climate system has grown since AR4. Human influence has been detected in warming of the atmosphere and the ocean, in changes in the global water cycle, in reductions in snow and ice, and in global mean sea level rise; and it is extremely likely to have been the dominant cause of the observed warming since the mid-20th century.

    Extremely likely is a theory not proof and there is no evidence in your article that gives any actual data on human contributions being the dominant force for climate change.

    But I do love your inability to actually read what you post and once again I had to correct your fake claims :)

    LOL Says the guy that claims CO2 is the primary cause for climate change.

    Oh this keeps getting better and better.

    Ah so now its the "type" This should be good :D

    And nothing in that article states Cumulative anthropogenic CO2 emissions of 2040 ± 310 GtCO2 are the primary cause of climate change and "likely" is not proven fact its a theory nothing more with zero numbers provided to support its impact on climate change.

    So once again your BS theory about humans being the primary source for climate change is not supported or even theorized in the articles you post.

    Jesus Legal this is 5th grade reading level. Why do I have to continue to point out the fallacies of your claims vs your actual data?

    LOL If you had joined the big leagues Legal you could quote those links claiming humans are the primary source of climate change

    But your links don't make that claim which is why you just hyperlink to them knowing the fallacy of your flat earth theory is not supported within the articles you post

    Clearly you aren't ready for the big leagues :)

    What about the clouds? Are humans responsible every time it rains somewhere in the world?

    What about waves in the ocean?

    What about evaporation?

    Tornadoes have been happening for millions of years but now humans are responsible for this too?

    The entirety of your argument is "I don't see data here" (while quoting some of the data) and "I don't think the phrase 'likely' or 'extremely likely' is strong enough" (despite the fact that those are conclusionary statements which is supported by all of the data - and more - that you have already been provided).

    And I love that you think NOAA, NASA, The Met Office, National Geographic, The United Nations, The EPA, and The European Union are all devoid of facts. I didn't quote them because THEY ALL AGREE on the basic facts.

    The Earth is Warming and Humans are almost certainly the majority cause of that warming.

    Go back to T-Ball.

    No, it's a theory not an answer. Your theory with no explanation of valid facts to back it up. Why do you fail to answer such simple questions? You fail to answer them because it flies in the face of your political agenda. :)

    Are humans responsible every time it rains?

    What about the formation and dissolving of clouds?

    Except you can't prove it. Evidence to the contrary leads us to believe that there are many other factors that lead to the planet warming and cooling and going through natural cycles. Especially since we know O2 and CO2 levels have been higher and lower and the planet has been hotter and colder in the past before humans were walking the earth.

    It's literally so easy, a caveman can understand it.

    I copy and paste because you keep refusing to just answer the questions.

    Why does the fact that glaciers melted millions of years ago mean that humans are incapable of melting glaciers today?

    If you dont want to answer that question, then please answer the following: Do you think it is possible that you will ever be convinced that humans are almost certainly responsible for most of the current warming trend?

    You copy and paste a theory, that is it.

    Are humans responsible for the formation of all the clouds too?

    And yet you can't convince NASA, NOAA, the EU, the UN, the IPCC or literally ANY recognized group of national and international scientists on the planet to agree with your caveman logic.

    Dude, there are two questions there. Just answer them.

    Why does the fact that glaciers melted millions of years ago mean that humans are incapable of melting glaciers today?

    If you dont want to answer that question, then please answer the following: Do you think it is possible that you will ever be convinced that humans are almost certainly responsible for most of the current warming trend?
