Gotta love JWdotORG as usual regurgitating the financially/politically motivated (and thoroughly disproved) climate change propaganda:

“Thoroughly disproved” - shouldn’t that be “unproved” ?

If you're going for an adjective, sure. I was using a verb. Six one way half a dozen the other.

PS - I guess quoting these "scientists" makes them look better, because climate prophecies usually fail every 10-20 years while JW prophecies usually take a little longer. In both cases however, new understandings are brought forth and records of the old ones are scrubbed where possible.

The notion that Climate Change is either unproven or discredited “propaganda “ is itself an untrue statement that regurgitates the American Right political propaganda .
Climate change is real, it is happening. Ask those who live in tha Arctic or The Australian continent. To some extent we can all feel it . Only those with vested interests would remain in a state of denial.
NB, I know I am rising to a piece of click bait, intended to cause an argument, but I could not resist.

There's climate change all right, but it has nothing to do with CO2 levels.

Blues:
The fact you think the opposing argument to climate "consensus" is that climate change isn't happening shows that the misrepresentation is working. Almost no one thinks the climate doesn't change. It has from the beginning of time, and the amount of change now is so miniscule compared to historic changes that to attribute to CO2 (which is a RESULT of warmer temperature and not the cause of it, cart before the horse) is to not look at the whole of history.

Blue Dog,
So the rapid rise of CO2 levels since the 1950's is completely normal and not man-made?
Just to flog a dead horse once again, we are at levels of CO2 not seen in a million years. It started increasing the 1950's, right around the time of the post war boom- but Im sure its just a coincidence.
But please, dont take my word for it, heres a nice little quote from NASA : "Human activities have profoundly increased carbon dioxide (a heat-trapping gas) levels in Earth’s atmosphere."

Joey jojo, see if you can work it out. Nasa' in Hebrew means "to deceive." Solar activity, and not carbon emissions, is responsible for temperature and weather fluctuations. Of all the gases in our atmosphere, carbon dioxide makes up 0.04% of the total. Of that number 97% comes from nature, plants and animals, and only a negligible 3% is caused by humans. One large volcano eruption produces more CO2 than the total of man's contribution. Makes me think of the Dutch government, trying to curb nitrogen use of their farmers. Complete madness.
