That Global Warming thing? Turns out CO2 isn’t the primary culprit. The journal Nature Climate Change admits that sea level rise could be mitigated much more easily by cutting emissions of short-lived gases such as methane, tropospheric ozone, and hydrofluorocarbons. Now they tell us.

I'm so glad I've been exonerated!
Makes me wonder - do you have a cousin named methane?
Turns out CO2 isn’t the primary culprit.
Of course not! It's either JP or BOA who is at fault! ;-)
Oh no, please tell me you haven't been coopted into the Corporate Greed cult.
In a couple more years, they'll come out with a new reason that's causing global warming. Maybe someday they'll realize that they're causing it every time they open their stupid mouths.
They can't admit what the truth is because they would all be out of work. If you think about it, the "Global Warming/Climate Change" movement is 2 things...
1. It is organized crime. It's about lying & fudging the numbers with all of their power incumbent on a predetermined result for the purposes of fraud & gov't power.
2. It's a conspiracy theory. They make up sh!t when they are debunked to prolong the issue, when it should be a dead issue.
What the heck is tropospheric ozone?
"What the heck is tropospheric ozone?"
This is highly technical and scientific, but tropospheric ozone is ozone in the troposphere. I think.
Hey dude, its actually that layer of rarified air where most liberals have their heads. You know, squarely up their asses. More commonly known as Farttownship, or the beautiful Sphincter City Estates, or the famous Hollywood bed and breakfast Horses Ass B&B, just to name a few.
I think it's an old Yes album or something.
Stuff your spray can was destroying during the last hoax.
Actually that was Dichlorodifluoromethane, or R-12. The stuff used to keep your refrigerator cold and as a spray can propellant.
Easy for you to say... two di's and two oro's in one word. Holy syllables batman!
Hey bro, I worked with that stuff for 25 years before it was banned. I still have a couple of cans out in the garage!
How much? :-D
I think I have 10 14oz cans. Best for very old cars and small reefer units.
I meant, how much do you want for it? ;-)
Most of us never thought that it was, particularly as CO2 levels appeared to follow temperature rise, with a lag of 800 years, or so.
The warmist's case was shot to pieces ages ago, and they have been unable to provide ANY evidence to support their religion.
It would seem that CO2 has little or nothing to do with the changing climate, anyway, so what's the point in worrying about it, or "carbon", or taxing either, or faffing around with "emission controls" - it's all meaningless anyway, and all we are doing is guaranteeing an unpreparedness for the coming little ice age, and a destruction of our economies, for nothing.
The climate is driven by extra-terrestrial influences, the biggest of which is the sun. the AGW morons seem to want to ignore this fact, whilst they plod on with the CO2 shennanigans.
When will governments wake up? Looking at the EU (who seem to be in control of everyone in Europe, whether they like it or not), and the American government (the leader of which, with his appointed 'aides', appears to be as nutty as a fruit cake), it seems they have swallowed the warmists's bullshit hook, line and sinker, and are incapable of removing their welded-on blinkers to the fact that the globe ISN'T warming (and hasn't been for sixteen years, or so), but CO2 levels are still increasing. It's all bollox, and we (and, I suspect, they) all know it.
Common purpose is the goal, and they are relying on the gullibility of a generally "thick" public, who they believe will swallow the alarmism, without question.
They want to deprive you of the means for self defence, they want to deprive you of a voice, and of a way of life. They want to control you.
I think they have underestimated us, don't you?.
Governments don't WANT to wake up to this con. In the first place, most pols are ignorant of science, math and engineering and don't have a clue about empirical method (didn't "climate scientist" Al Gore get a "D" in his only college science course or something?) But, they can't stand to look stupid so they just jump on whatever bandwagon is rolling at the moment, never asking any kind of challenging question because they have no idea what to ask anyway.
In the second place, governments LOVE anything that gives them more CONTROL over things - makes the twerps feel important. Nitwit mayors and governors can't keep the streets clean or the schools running, but they feels better about themselves when they can go on TV and pontificate about "Globull Warming."
And last, but not least, it gives them an excuse to RAISE TAXES and hand out more money and favors to their cronies and courtesans. So governments LOVE the global warming scam .... they don't want to wake up from it, it's the grifter pol's DREAM come true.
You a conspiracy theory guy too? Here look
“We have to win the conversation about climate change. When you hear denial, speak up.” So now it's if you hear something say something? Make up my mind already.

OG I hope you're right. Most of these AGW religionists are about as "Thick As A Brick", if you'll pardon me for stealing a title from a '70's' Jethro Tull album for my comparison. This is as much a religious view as it is anything else and frankly, I think they're full of horse ahooya. I just wish they'd get a clue and stop trying to shove it up my bumm and cram it down my throat!
They'll be back. The environmental movement is what's left of the communists after the Soviet Union - aka watermelons. Same religious structure, same dedication to "changing the world" no matter if it needs it or not.
I don't think the commies ever left...they just came here!
