      What's not real is catastrophic, anthropogenic climate change that can only be stopped by checking off every box on a liberal's social agenda "to do" list.
      Wow.... I don't even know.... How.exactly do you extrapolate that fron the data? Even the YEC's I know accept it..

        I don't know any that do accept "climate change". I'm a YEC myself though, so that could be part of it. Oh, and IIRC mossrose doesn't accept "climate change" either.

        Too many disastrously failed predictions that I've been hearing since I've been a kid. Stuff like the coasts being flooded, or needing special protective equipment[1] to go outside in just a few decades. Really early in my life I was hearing stuff about a coming ice age. Those are just a few off the top of my head. The first two were part of educational videos at my school, so I don't exactly have access to those.

        1. The kid was wearing a heavy duty hazmat suit just to go outside into a bright blinding light in the video.

          I certainly hope the global warming skeptics turn out to be right...

            That's the best part! They don't have to face the consequences if they aren't. It's win-win.

              Didn't people say that warming would be better on balance? More food per person, for one thing.

                You don't need to hope. You just need to trust the data.

                Climate alarmists, on the other hand, obviously don't trust the data. Otherwise, they wouldn't feel the need to constantly "adjust" it.

                  Yes, a warmer climate and higher concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere has many positive benefits that are often ignored by those who seem to think there is a direct link between the quality of the environment and how much money they can extract from your wallet.
