  Science News article: ‘Case closed’: 99.9% of scientists agree climate emergency caused by humans

  a news article has the headline of " ‘case closed’: 99.9% of scientists agree climate emergency caused by humans"; see https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/oct/19/case-closed-999-of-scientists-agree-climate-emergency-caused-by-humans .

  the article says in part the following.. 'the scientific consensus that humans are altering the climate has passed 99.9%, according to research that strengthens the case for global action at the cop26 summit in glasgow.. the degree of scientific certainty about the impact of greenhouse gases is now similar to the level of agreement on evolution and plate tectonics, the authors say, based on a survey of nearly 90,000 climate-related studies.

  this means there is practically no doubt among experts that burning fossil fuels, such as oil, gas, coal, peat and trees, is heating the planet and causing more extreme weather.. a previous survey in 2013 showed 97% of studies published between 1991 and 2012 supported the idea that human activities are altering earth’s climate.. this has been updated and expanded by the study by cornell university that shows the tiny minority of sceptical voices has diminished to almost nothing as evidence mounts of the link between fossil-fuel burning and climate disruption.. the latest survey of peer-reviewed literature published from 2012 to november 2020 was conducted in two stages.

  Hi there Joey. Perhaps less heat but more radiation. This you can see from the aurora borealis and australis. For every action there's a reaction. Scientists have established that the auroras of Jupiter are heating up because of solar wind. Well, if solar wind affects Jupiter, should it not affect earth in a similar way? Why do you think volcanic activity has increased. Because magma from below is being heated and expanding. Absolutely nothing to do with CO2 emissions but a lot to do with radiation from the sun.

  The angle does matter. That's why you have poles and desert. All to do with angle. And whether we freeze or fry will depend on our distance from the sun. Not topics generally discussed. Doesn't support the narrative.

  Based on preliminary analysis, the global average atmospheric carbon dioxide in 2020 was 412.5 parts per million (ppm for short). The levels of CO2 in the air and potential health problems are: 400 ppm: average outdoor air level. 400–1,000 ppm: typical level found in occupied spaces with good air exchange. 1,000–2,000 ppm: level associated with complaints of drowsiness and poor air. Long way to go to reach "poor air."

  Just because the Watchtower misquoted him, doesn't automatically make him reliable. David Attenborough works for the BBC, (an organization that used to fawn about Joe Biden!). He is part and parcel part of the system and paid by the system. Why would he say anything contradicting the narrative and jeopardizing his pension? I trust him as much as I trust Anthony Fauci and Bill Gates.

  With CO2 making out a negligible 0.04% of the total gases of our atmosphere, for the life of me I could not work out the philosophy of Net Zero carbon emissions by 2050. The scientists are either stupid, under mass hypnosis or bought. Seems to be the latter.

  According to Bank of America and one of their “Thematic Research” tomes, it has to do with money. To achieve Net Zero carbon emissions by 2050, will have a hefty price tag. It will be costing the nations in the vicinity of $150 trillion over thirty years. This amounts to about $5 trillion in annual investments which is two times the current world GDP. Simply put, “it provides an endless stream of taxpayer and debt-funded "investments" which in turn need a just as constant degree of debt monetization by central banks. Does the proverb not say the debtor becomes the slave of the lender?

  By the way, other planets of our solar system are also heating up, e.g. Jupiter. Might the problem not lie with the sun, earth's distance from the sun and the tilt of the earth?

  Watchtower More Important than the Scriptures

  They are more interested in preserving the beehive and its hierarchy than truth, honesty or the Bible. If you endanger the beehive or queen, you are ejected. The Australian psychologist suggesting the beehive model to explain JWs cleared up the riddle for me.

  A drone-like "brobot" mentality is called for each JW or a big split is underway. I put my money on the latter. Forced vaccines tested on aborted human fetal cells are really pushing the boundaries of obedience. Obedience to God or following seven or eight self-serving men only interested in their self-preservation? I think this time they have miscalculated and overplayed their hand. Time will tell.

  Would it be correct to equate Faith and belief in any God with superstitious belief ? I believe so.

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  their are millions of peoples all around the world who believe in one god or another christian and non christian.. all of them pray to their gods for this, that, and the other.

  by far the majority never hear god answer them audibly ,however most assume he answers their prayers or not , by what transcribes next in their lives.. you pray for what is right according to god and he answers your prayers ,otherwise your prayers are not answered .. those few who who do claim to hear the voice of god audibly are usually found to have mental problems ,either physical or emotional.. if you do good you will be rewarded either now or in the hereafter , if you do bad you will feel the wrath of god and his judgments.

  i equate this with superstitious beliefs ,what do you think ?.

  I think a person is quite sophisticated believing in a superior being. Amongst other things, a rule-based religious system controls diet, association and gives life guidance. Complicated prophecies are studied and explained. Whether the religion is based on truth or is a man-made construct is immaterial. It takes a lot of dedication and a level of sophistication to work all this out, whereas believing nothing is quite primitive. A good example is the Afganistan's Taliban. As Westerners we don't like their religious interpretations but they did take on a world power and all its minions and came out victorious in the end. That took some doing.

  Interestingly, he died of COVID-complications even though he was fully vaxxed. How does that work?

  Censuring medicine and information; our new culture.

  'last night's flccc weekly update featured stories of families who fought in court to compel hospitals to give their loved ones ivermectin.

  that it has come to this is tragic.

  63 studies have now shown ivermectin’s efficacy in all stages of c19 disease.'.

  Cases in Vermont, already at record levels for the state, just keep on rising, even with the highest vaccination rate in the country — 89% of the 18+ population is at least partially vaccinated, 88% of 12+ & ~100% of seniors.
