    Oh! Wow! A YouTube video

    Yes! Very scientific!

    I am not saying they do not happen just that climate, like your underpants, does not change by itself

    So when will we expect this ice age she asks expecting to be linked to a long debunked myth

    Of wow, a YouTube Video,


    McCartney perfect? Nope. But musically accurate? Yes.

    YouTube may not be an Oracle, but it can be helpful. So what’s your point?

    Yeah, it’s sad, I know, but hysteria and paranoia are psychologically contagious. What can one do but fight for the truth and hope for best. After all, Reason is all the human mind can count on.

    Yeah. Global warming wasn’t very beneficial to the Wholly Mammoth.

    Youtube rarely has real experts talking in the subject let alone an academic in rigorous and heaven forfend if anything like a citation is used!

    Generally it is about as reliable as a used car salesman in a recession

    It is constantly changing.

    It's on a 40,000 year cycle with about a 3 degree change and it's always moving back and forth.

    It doesn't happen all at once you know.

    lol

    Don't look now because we are in a cooling cycle.
    Strange we are not cooling.

    So did it change 2 degrees worth in the last 200 years?

    That 3 degree tilt can cause a complete reversal of the seasons and the melting of the caps so it doesn't take 2 degrees to see a change.

    All it takes is very minor changes to begin affecting climate. Yes 200 years worth of slow tilt would probably start showing an impact.

    I don't think so. :)
    The tilt is 23 degrees.
    But having said that I want to withdraw mu previous post.
    Tilt does not change the total sun hitting earth - so no world wide change in temperature.

    It is called a Milankovitch cycle and at present has NOTHING to do with the current climate change!

    And yet, can’t predict the weather any better than looking out the window. But can forecast a whole planet’s climate 12 years in advance What’s that acronym? GIGO?

    Gee your forecasters must be pretty crappy

    Our do pretty well given they are working with a highly complex system but then, THEY do not rely on the sharpie pen method of hurricane prediction

    Even to countries whose primary language is not English?

    Hate to tell you mate but the world is a little more complex than this

    Nothing in your link says it has nothing to do with climate change.

    The world is as simple as “is” is and “isn’t” isn’t. No more, no less. It’s the key to the universe.

    Aristotle and Rand knew, Plato didn’t, but Kant did and lied about it so he could say his prayers at night without feeling guilty.

    What? A 2-degree rise in Earth's temp couldn't wipe out the dinosaurs, but 0.2° Celsius will destroy civilization as we know it, and we have air conditioning? Sorry, Will Robinson, that does not compute

    "Volcanic activity in the late Cretaceous caused a gradual global warming event of about two degrees, but not mass extinction," said one of the study's co-authors and former Yale researcher Michael Henehan, in a statement. "A number of species moved toward the North and South poles but moved back well before the asteroid impact."--https://www.foxnews.com/science/dinosaur-extinction-asteroid-study?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed: foxnews/scitech (Internal - SciTech - Mixed)

    Climate models predict that Earth’s global average temperate will rise in the future. For the next two decades warming of about 0.2° Celsius is projected.--https://scied.ucar.edu/longcontent/predictions-future-global-climate
    This is going to melt the Poles, extinct the Polar Bears, and flood Kansas City? Yeah. Right.

    Better to fret about that damn asteroid instead worrying about extra swimming days in May.

    no one disagree, but I would not want to live with walls between every state, I like all the states being one and we can come and go as we please between them and buy property in any of them and live there

    I like my drivers license works in all states, same as open carry should, it just works

    the song is about a Utopia, a system that works, we are not there yet as a species, maybe when AI and robots advance enough we will

    things will have to change in the future
