Close. There are two groups. One says "science" while the other falls for highly politicized science-y sounding nonsense.

You do realize that the climate has never been "stable" over any long period of time, right? You do understand that modern humans have been around for at least three dramatic climate shifts, none of which humans were responsible for, right?

You know the Greenland ice sheet that the AGW proponents keep shitting themselves over? It wasn't there 1100 years ago. Glaciers that are retreating today are retreating more slowly than they advanced during the LIA.

Over a half century of study and tracking have determined that volcanic activity has the largest effect on the polar vortex from earthbound activity.

Wood's Hole has determined that the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is far more active than originally believed. But yeah, that's got nothing to do with warmer ocean temps in the Atlantic. All those GHGs being released directly into the water wouldn't have any effect whatsoever.
It's kind of cute, in a way, how we think we're so powerful that we can outperform the engine that actually drives this planet.

But hey, you know science apparently.

Northern Ontario,
Like me, I've always been anti pollution....but not because of global warming...I like to breath clean air and drink clean water....
I can see the difference in air quality when i go down south....
I'm also for recycling where and when available, and it is now available in Kap.

I've never said that once.

If people just stopped fukking as much, we would be able to swim in oil.


Or at least let petros and cap'n do that.

Normally the January thaw here lasts two weeks, not two days.

OCEAN ISLE BEACH, N.C. — Although North Carolina’s recent bitter cold snap deterred plenty of humans from sticking their noses outdoors, a group of alligators stuck their snouts into the frost and hunkered down in the name of survival.
When the alligators at Shallotte River Swamp Park recently found themselves beneath a sheet of ice as temperatures plunged below freezing, they poked their nostrils above the surface so they could get some air.

The odd scene was a matter of survival for the gators. When they get cold, they enter a period of dormancy known as brumation. They slow their metabolism and their breathing, and before the surface ices over they poke their noses out of the water to continue breathing.
Park officials say the alligators will be on the prowl once temperatures warm up.
