I may have misspoke on that one. Fair enough.

Milankovitch cycles would now have the planet cooling slightly, not warming. The warming that ended the last glacial period ended 9,000-8,000 years ago, at the Holocene Thermal Maximum. A global temperature plateau then lasted for about 2,000 years, followed by a slow gradual cooling that...

" ice age predictions from the 70’s. Or were those climate measurements somehow wrong? A laundry list of fortune tellers have mad a, well, a fortune." You are repeating from something put out by AEI, a known fossil fuels funded dispenser of disinformation on climate change. "5 decades of failed...

"you were definitely using subsidies." The U.S. Oil & Gas industry has been subsidized Non-Stop since 1918. The U.S. Coal industry has been subsidized Non-Stop since 1932. The nuclear industry has been heavily subsidized also. Now, the adding of carbon capture to coal and gas power plants is...

"The results show that there is no robust statistical evidence for a divergence between models and observations" http://iopscience.iop.org/.../10.1088/1748-9326/aaf372/meta

Global Climate Models have successfully predicted: That the globe would warm, and about how fast, and about how much. That the troposphere would warm and the stratosphere would cool. That nighttime temperatures would increase more than daytime temperatures. That winter temperatures would...

" Climate models are notoriously bad" FALSE - more disinformation from bad actors. ------------------------ Evaluating the Performance of Past Climate Model Projections https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/2019GL085378?utm_medium=email&utm_source=substack

Or the sulfur falls out of the atmosphere by itself. That it oxidizes into H2O and CO2 is what I have read. I will check on that again though.

Musk and politicians like Trump spread baseless claims such as Fema blocking flights and confiscating supplies Elon Musk, the owner of X and key Trump ally, claimed Fema was blocking flights trying to aid the area, calling it “belligerent government incompetence” One myth amplified in the...

"look up impending ice age predictions from the 70’s." Your comment is right out of the fossil fuels funded disinformation PR machine playbook. There was never anything within a lightyear of consensus on global cooling in the 1970s. There were SIX TIMES as many studies on AGW from our CO2...

" I guess global warming is cyclic." NOT THIS TIME. According to NASA, the current warming is 10 times as fast as the warming that ends ice ages (glacial periods). And here's why. Keep in mind that the greenhouse effect of CO2 has been known for 168 years and is much better understood now...
