global warming is not real!!

There are extremists on both sides of most arguments and the climate is no different but ask yourself this:

What would be the motivation of thousands of scientists who promote the notion that the climate issue is serious if it really wasn't? 

Sure there are a few who disagree but they are in the minority.  The science that supports the climate change argument is not just one field.  It's not just some cadre of weather kooks.  It's people who study the structure of polar ice, who study animal populations and ocean salinity, etc.  These are basically unrelated fields that have come to the same conclusion.  The earth is warming faster than any time before and the CO2 in the atmosphere is rising higher than any time before.  It's not about the extremely long periods of ice and thaw in the past thousands of years.  It's about the fast rise in the past hundred years.

It makes sense to me far better than just waving it away and saying they're all just fascists.

Fester, this thread was originally written as a joke. You may want to post your thoughts and opinions on the real global warming thread. Nice bump though

Yes I'm aware of the original intent and of the comments by some known deniers previously.  I am also aware that threads take on a life of their own as this one did long ago.  Just adding two cents rather than in the long and overdone actual climate thread I also contribute to.

Plus I know some of the comments I'm replying to have closed accounts.  Makes me seem a tad nutty.

Just a tad...but thats exactly what the off topic forum is...a tad nutty

Think the topic creator has pretty much blocked anyone who isn't a bootlicker by this point. Comes across as a sad echo chamber with the occasional trolling of unsuspecting newbs.

This thread was fun when @ExploringWA. also known as @movedtolichess, was ranting as usual.  

Oh Elroch, I don't know how you do it! I envy you! The normies who can't drink in your greatness. Yet you still carry on for the good of us all!

I'd give Exploring a 6/10 for ranting. Bit above average.

Normie?

Most people have global warming far down their list of priorities.

And they don't live in basements in their middle age.

 I don't think a topic on a chat thread on chess site is high priority for anyone.  Just entertainment with limited social value as is the overused metaphor of living in a basement.  It seems the same comparison could be said about trolling just those threads for no apparent good.  Unless of course you consider yourself a 'normie' and somehow above it all.
