Are you saying Republicans aren't dinosaurs?
I'm saying your delusions prove globull warming isn't man made.

Man cannot affect weather, otherwise in my semi arctic region I would welcome it. Lets wait for winter, that'll shut the MAN'S FAULT crowd for a few months.
Say what?Ah yes Nikola Tesla, been there done that. Wanted to build his earthquake machine. Next time I'll build a Frankenstein monster and rule the world.
Go buy oceanfront property.I'm saying your delusions prove globull warming isn't man made.
Weather is not equal to climate. A heat wave does not prove global warming, nor does a blizzard disprove it.
A year or two of slightly more or less this or that is insignificant.
The earth does, or has so far at least, warmed and cooled "naturally".
The difference this time around is that there are in fact significantly more humans, and that those humans are not living in huts and caves and gathering nuts and berries.
Can the level of human activity cause climate change? Science can't answer that with certainty.
Can human activity, specifically the "para-natural" generation of greenhouse gasses influence, or for example accelerate, climate change?
The consensus of scientists is that it can, and probably is.
Can changes in human activity reduce the effect humans have on climate change?
Again, scientifically, consentually, yes.
Stop it?
We aren't that smart yet, or that important. Or willing. ( not science... My opinion only...)
Should we try?
Or just let Allah sort it all out?

"And yet it moves" (Italian: Eppur si muove; [epˈpur si ˈmwɔːve]) is a phrase said to have been uttered before the Inquisition by the Italian mathematician, physicist and philosopher Galileo Galilei (1564–1642) in 1633 after being forced to recant that the earth moves around the sun. In this context, the implication of the phrase is: despite this recantation, the Church's proclamations to the contrary, or any other conviction or doctrine of men, the Earth does, in fact, move around the sun, and not vice versa."
Nice but you cut and pasted the url with the vid muted.Ruh roh
Time to look for a new home...
Changes in the "tilt" of the earth can change the severity of the seasons - more "tilt" means more severe seasons - warmer summers and colder winters; less "tilt" means less severe seasons - cooler summers and milder winters. The earth wobbles in space so that its tilt changes between about 22 and 25 degrees on a cycle of about 41,000 years. It is the cool summers which are thought to allow snow and ice to last from year to year in high latitudes, eventually building up into massive ice sheets. There are positive feedbacks in the climate system as well, because an earth covered with more snow reflects more of the sun's energy into space, causing additional cooling. In addition, it appears that the amount of Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere falls as ice sheets grow, also adding to the cooling of the climate.
The earth's orbit around the sun is not quite circular, which means that the earth is slightly closer to the sun at some times of the year than others. The closest approach of the earth to the sun is called perihelion, and it now occurs in January, making northern hemisphere winters slightly milder. This change in timing of perihelion is known as the precession of the equinoxes, and occurs on a period of 22,000 years. 11,000 years ago, perihelion occurred in July, making the seasons more severe than today. The "roundness", or eccentricity, of the earth's orbit varies on cycles of 100,000 and 400,000 years, and this affects how important the timing of perihelion is to the strength of the seasons. The combination of the 41,000 year tilt cycle and the 22,000 year precession cycles, plus the smaller eccentricity signal, affect the relative severity of summer and winter, and are thought to control the growth and retreat of ice sheets. Cool summers in the northern hemisphere, where most of the earth's land mass is located, appear to allow snow and ice to persist to the next winter, allowing the development of large ice sheets over hundreds to thousands of years. Conversely, warmer summers shrink ice sheets by melting more ice than the amount accumulating during the winter.
And, for those moreminterested in learning than merely repeating talk radio hype...
