@soothfast saidIf NATO doesn't back off then you will have exactly that. 😉
Let's have a nuclear war and find out!
@soothfast said"Air pollution may obliterate the sun and cause a new ice age in the first third of the next century."
We can make it worse. Has that subtle revelation never come knocking?

@wajoma saidI understand that your literary repertoire rarely rises above the circulars lining the bottoms of bird cages, but I think our understanding of atmospheric science has progressed quite a bit since 1970.

@soothfast said1970, 1980, 1990, 2000, 2010, 2020, all the same alarmist tipping points, frying, freezing, or simply 'changing' choose a decade the panic and the scare is all the same.

@jimm619 saidClimate change has occurred through out the history of the planet, no one is claiming it doesn't exist or that it's a hoax. You're beginning to sound like your bud soothfast talking to the voices in your head.
@Wajoma
The Creepy Kiwi believes climate change is a hoax.
............Oh, the irony
@soothfast said"By the year 2000... the entire world, with the exception of Western Europe, North America, and Australia, will be in famine."

@wajoma saidAbout 20 years ago, Al Gore said something like the ice caps will be melted in 5 years.
"Air pollution may obliterate the sun and cause a new ice age in the first third of the next century."

Al Gore and the Boston Globe. Jesus H.
And the libs here are the same, believe it or not........... I think they have been pulled away to work on reporting the Jan 6 hearing, along with Sonhouse, but sadly, they will be back!!!!
I wonder how posting would go if we were charged for each word?

@wajoma saidThis is not a valid debate technique. Do I have to spell it out? Merely cherry-picking wrong predictions made by someone 52 years ago does not prove, in any way whatsoever, that current predictions about climate change are invalid. That is the "logic" of a six-year-old. It says much about your ability to think critically, but that's the limit.
