Bought off by Big Oil and the usual greedy idiot billionaires (Murdoch, Adelson, Kochs, Moonies) who run your bs propaganda machine.RW BS vs science. Only the bought off GOP in the world denies it.The RW BS propaganda machine is dangerous in so many ways...And Trump is backing off pledge to support election results...a disgrace.

One good conspiracy theory deserves another. The left conspires to create anthropogenic global warming fear, and the right conspires to deny it. You reap what you sow, fair is fair.
Bought off by whom? I can send you as many links against as you can send me in support of anthropogenic global warming which now seems to be called global climate change (as if the global climate has never changed or isn't constantly in some state of flux).
The facts are climate science is VERY complex, That's why people get PHD's in it, nearly all the dire consequences predicted by the models have not played out, science is never settled because if it were we would be preparing for the ice age predicted by some scientists in the 1970's-
A 1974 Time magazine article Another Ice Age? painted a similarly bleak picture:
"When meteorologists take an average of temperatures around the globe, they find that the atmosphere has been growing gradually cooler for the past three decades. The trend shows no indication of reversing. Climatological Cassandras are becoming increasingly apprehensive, for the weather aberrations they are studying may be the harbinger of another ice age."
I am not saying we aren't experiencing global warming, and I am sure we are experiencing climate change, because we always are. However I think it is very arrogant of people to think we can alter the climate to suit us, or to believe we understand it well enough to know the consequences of our burning fossil fuels. Did you know the Sahara Desert was full of lush vegetation and many species of animals not too long ago? Did man cause it to dry up? Did man cause it to suddenly go from desert to lush grassland and then back to desert. Scientist can't explain with absolute certainty what caused these changes, so why should we expect them to predict with absolute certainty where are climate is going now. Healthy skepticism is in short supply by many when it comes to global warming. That is all I am saying.
A timeline of Sahara occupation [See Map]:
- 22,000 to 10,500 years ago: The Sahara was devoid of any human occupation outside the Nile Valley and extended 250 miles further south than it does today.
- 10,500 to 9,000 years ago: Monsoon rains begin sweeping into the Sahara, transforming the region into a habitable area swiftly settled by Nile Valley dwellers.
- 9,000 to 7,300 years ago: Continued rains, vegetation growth, and animal migrations lead to well established human settlements, including the introduction of domesticated livestock such as sheep and goats.
Sahara Desert Was Once Lush and Populated
- 7,300 to 5,500 years ago: Retreating monsoonal rains initiate desiccation in the Egyptian Sahara, prompting humans to move to remaining habitable niches in Sudanese Sahara. The end of the rains and return of desert conditions throughout the Sahara after 5,500 coincides with population return to the Nile Valley and the beginning of pharaonic society.
I was around for that TIME issue, which was about the whole crisis lol and an immediate joke.
I enjoy your scientific history stuff- one theory I liked was the one that it slowly heated during early civ. and that explained the movement from Egypt to Greece to Rome to Northern Europe. Also goats eating all the vegetation and wrecking economies as they moved North lol. But all irrelevant to MMGW.
