What we agree with = is a good source
What we don't agree with = is a bad source?

@St-Sinner LOL He didn't say that at all. Are you ever not ridiculous with legitimate responses to your posts?

@AlPastor But I am saying that and it is a fact unlike your ridiculous response.

@St-Sinner Of course. LOL

@AlPastor LOL

This is one viewpoint but not the only one. Conservatives do not like Washington Post and New York Times, so they call it fake news. Would agree with that?

If not, why should other people not agree with this institute?

"For example, global mean sea level has risen by over 3 meters, if I read the report correctly, since 1901, and it has accelerated fastest since 1990".

ppl who accept these unsubstantiated alarmist claims as 100% true without even checking are hopelessly deluded & brainwashed.

@callmedubious I'm not sure why you think I haven't checked.

For example, the Solomon Islands have lost 5 islands altogether to rising sea levels, and another island in the chain lost 1/2 its habitable surface between 2011 and 2016 to rising seas and erosion. [theguardian.com]
The Arctic ice pack is melting far faster than it should... and we've known for over 10 years. [science.howstuffworks.com] Even Mike Pompeo acknowledged it. His comments about the future of Canada's Northern Passage tacitly admit that global warming is happening, even as his president and party deny it.

It's those who aren't alarmed that are delusional and brainwashed into thinking this is all perfectly normal.

@St-Sinner It is true that Trump coined the term "fake news" for any actual news that casts him in a negative light (which is, basically, any news about anything). It's also true that this term was widely adopted by his followers as a put-down for the mainstream media when the news carries stories that reflect badly on the conservative agenda. What does that have to do with the link you cite from an industry shill with a clear agenda of reducing governmental regulations?

Why should we not uncritically accept the CEI as a source? Because they are not a news-gathering organization or scientific organization, they're an industry promoter and cheerleader. They're dedicated to resisting regulation, in the name of maximizing profit.

Put it this way; their commentary on climate change is worth about as much as the Vatican's advice on what to do about pedophile priests.

@callmedubious The point here is that doomsday scenarios of the world ending within 5 years, 20 years have been predicted citing reputed scientists many times in the last 50 years. It is not denying the science. It is about the fake urgencies that overshadowed the other urgent issues that need dire help such as children dying of food- simple food on a daily basis.

@callmedubious, @Paul4747
You have to consider this simple fact:

It is unreliable and fake to progressives = Fox News, The American (magazine), American Affairs, The American Catholic Quarterly Review, The American Conservative.The American Enterprise., The American Interest. The American Mercury, American Outlook.

It is unreliable and fake to conservatives = CNN, Washington Post, The New York Times, Politico, MSNBC, Indivisible Guide, The Sanders Institute, Salon, The American Prospect, The Progressive, New Democracy Project, Center for American Progress

This has been going on for decades.

Nobody has the sole right to the truth. No scientist is right on all. There are scientists on both sides. There are viewpoints on both sides. We are not always right, just the opposition is not.

@Paul4747 ,
i have lived very close to the pacific ocean for 44 yrs. now just 3 blocks. and i walk along our boardwalk & the beach at least 3 times/wk. i can tell you that there is no sign of the ocean level rising even inches, never mind feet, since i've been here.
climate change occurs cyclically & has forever. read about the NW passage & you will find that over the centuries since men on ships have tried to get thru there there have been drastic changes in the ice cover (melting & freezing again) even over a few years, never mind decades or centuries. grade 10 science students know what happens when ice melts on a body of water.
since when is Pompeo an authority on climate change, or anything else for that matter.

Yes, right but then I realized he fucked up for himself and for us big time, So I decided to leave him out.

There were your type and all kinds of arguments to support and push all those 50 years of calamity predictions. I am sure that involved many many scientists also. We even gave the Nobel to Al Gore. Where is he now? I heard he does not use solar panels on his house.

@St-Sinner That first sentence really doesn't make a whole lot of sense. This whole exercise in cut and paste trolling equates the scientific consensus on anthropogenic climate change with the blitherings of an inbred member of the British royal family.
D-, must try harder.

@MrBeelzeebubbles I did not understand a thing in your scholarly response.
