And I am wondering what PROOF you are submitting that I am denying. Commonly held principles and beliefs are often proven wrong. I agree there is climate change. But so far there is no proof that it is caused by man. Give me/us the evidence that it is man made. I am happy to listen. But consider that in the 1930's there was a newspaper comment that the streets of NYC would be flooded. Al Gore has made millions of dollars telling us the very same thing, flooded streets, polar bears dying and so on. But so far not one bit of that is true. Weather forecasters/scientists cannot predict the weather for the oncoming week and yet you want us to believe that your scientists will predict the weather for the next 50 years or so. Sorry but I just don't buy it. Again, prove me wrong. Show me where weather predictors can accurately predict the weather for even the next week or month.

I live in Idaho. When looking at a weather predictor for Idaho Falls last week it showed snow falling for the next few days. A day later the sun was out and no snow with temperatures in the 50's. Now tell me how you are not intelligent enough to look at that and at least wonder where do they get their figures, how can these people predict the weather in years to come when they can't accurately predict for the next week.

I am not trying to give you a hard time but I am damn tired of you Liberals telling me I am stupid all because I don't go along with your claims which you are unable to prove. Your only recourse is to tell me that a whole lot of scientists believe in the very same horse shit theory you believe in. Quantity does not make quality in my experience. You are talking mob rule to go along with Al Gore and he has yet to be proven correct. Yet you on the Left still promote the very same horse shit claims from years ago.

There is no proof of climate change, that is true. There are patterns. These can be traced. But you are confusing weather with climate. Btw. Polar bears are dying. And parts of florida do have higher and more damaging tidal patterns. We are able to reasonably predict climate changes over time. That is different than the weather.

It is coming out today in some sources that the Virus deaths should be much lower. Doctors apparently were advised to say the death was caused by the virus when it was actually a heart attack by a person that just tested positive with the virus so the virus was listed as the cause when it had nothing to do with it.
Once we get the true numbers all we see now is just BS. Also comparing the number of cases to Spain is also really stupid seeing as the USA has over 7 times the population as Spain. One needs to multiply the numbers of Spain by over 7 to get a real comparison. Finally some of these field hospitals that were hurriedly set up thus far have remained empty. The Ship to NYC had I believe 20 patients all non-Virus.
Looks like a big scam to me so far.

I think calling it a scam is probably dis-ingenuous Architect. If a patient has stable angina, just to use an example, and gets ill with Covid-19, and his angina worsens, and the patient decompensates, then the cause of death is Covid-19. Most Covid 19 patients die from a pneumonia like complication. This is a SARS type virus, actually the real name is SARS Corona Virus 19 (19 for the year). Covid is the disease caused by that virus.

So, if the patient got Covid 19 and then died from Sudden Acute Respiratory Syndrome, do you call the death a death from Respiratory Arrest or from Covid? That's the dilemma. That does not make it a scam. Medical science has to have a coherent method of recording deaths. This is the one they have chosen.

IT would be more clear if the patient had an ongoing toe nail and got Covid 19 and died from SARS. No one would claim said patient died from the ingrown toe nail. Same applies to all other disease.

For all models - garbage in = garbage out.

The climate change models are all garbage as the complex nature of the various and sometimes unknown processes involved and their interactions are very poorly understood. The current models are highly simplified and cannot be used retrospectively to even predict the past. It is clear,however, that CO2 is not a cause for climate change. CO2 rises after a ice age and not before an ice age ends and hence is not the cause of the warming but rather the result.

For infectious diseases there are models for progression of the disease through a population. Because COVID-19 is new, basic parameters such a the probability for death and the probability of being infected are unknown. Of course better estimates are available now as compared to 2 or 3 months ago.

At present 0.001% of humanity has died from COVID-19. About 600 times this number will die from other causes. Poverty from having no job also causes early death.

And you're a notable and famous climate scientist able to understand all the models and their vagaries? Spare me. If you are, and that's a possibility, then lay out your credentials please.

From your last paragraph I have to ask, Is that why President Trump pulled America OUT of the Climate Change Accord? I haven't seen any evidence that he is embracing the man made climate change that you seem to believe in.

But then again I have asked this one question numerous times here and have never once received any reply. I ask you.

Let's say we all go along with the theory that climate change is totally man made and we all clamor to donate our money to the good people who will save us. With me so far? What will be done with the Trillions of dollars given by each country (most of course from America who I believe does the least damage compared to China and other countries) to enable a positive change to Mother Earth??? I will be right here.

So you think that the only scientists that are wrong, are the ones that disagree with you. And that’s greater than 99% of all climate scientists.
But don’t worry about spending the trillions of dollars that are necessary if we want to clean up the garbage we are putting into the atmosphere, the land, and our waters. We just spent it on what many of you right wingers called “no worse than the common cold”, “it’s just the flu folks”.
Currently, this ‘common cold’ is killing greater than 2% of all that have tested positive. The flu kills less than .1% of those tested, except when there is a novel flu virus like the Spanish flu, the 1957 strain, and H1N1.
Anyhow, one way or another our children & grandchildren are going to pay both for COVID19 and environmental mess we are leaving them.
The difference is, my grandkids will know I am doing everything I can to leave them a better world, and you are doing whatever you can to make things worse.

Climate change has been obvious since the last Ice Age. It's just the Left Wing scientists who are claiming there is a world catastrophe coming because their models equate a recent rise in CO2 levels with doomsday. Have they questioned the premises their models made lately? No. Because the science is presumably settled. And no one is able to question settled science we are told.


Actually, and i wasn't going to chime in as these discussions inevitable turn political and then to name calling on side or the other, climate change is rather settled and approximately 98% of climate scientists agree, both from the right and the left. Real science doesn't pick sides, the sides pick them. The current disagreements center around how fast and how much climate change and the contributions from human activity vs animal, vs cyclical. Don't ask me to prove that 98%, go look it up. Since your not a "Left Wing" scientist, presumably, you know how to google. Don't toss out nicknames towards people you know nothing about unless you can prove it. BTW, do you have proof climate change is proposed and supported by "Left Wing" scientists? NO? Then learn how to handle data. This points out you have little ability to think critically. PS. Yes, the models are constantly questioned, refined, and questioned again. That is what science does for itself. If new unknown evidence is found, that is compensated for. It is people with some political axe to grind or those who refuse to understand, or are too entrenched in their own Woo, who don't understand this. Some, (you?) are all the above.

This is my first attempt. A Service Berry bush starting to bloom. I literally had to half suss my way through photoshop and google way too many sources to see how it turned out. I still need more depth but hey, i figure not too bad for a rank newbie attempt. Download for best detail and comments welcome.

Too much wrong with the above. It does remind others to wash or disinfect however. I have seen the same thing here and there on fb and so on.... each time with a different attribution. Example. My friend is a nurse and her hospital posted this from harvard...from an ICU doc who really knows his stuff....etc. Each posting is geared to make you believe the bone fides of the unknown author. Wash your hands. Wash them.often. use sanitizer when you cannot. And dont pick your nose while wearing your gloves....yes I did see that at the grocery store. The proper method is remove glove. Dispose of it properly in the trash. Pick nose. Belch or fart. Don fresh gloves. We are all old enough to remember the hot spots in our cities.....with littered used condoms. Now the parking lots are littered with used gloves that someone has to pickup.
