The U.S. is now the only country not part of Paris climate agreement after Syria signs on

Is this some sort of deflection on your part. I asked you a direct question and your completely avoiding it. The overwhelming scientific community that you all like to hang your hat on has an overwhelming credability problem when nothing they have predicted in the past has happened nor can they show any verifiable evidence that what they are guessing is resonsible for the conditions that they think we should be alarmed about.

So again i ask you to answer my question and then tell me what facts you think im trying to avoid argueing.

If you intend on presenting suppositions as facts i can do that too.

98% of scientists world wide agree that climate change is occurring, and that various forms of pollution are responsible at least in part.

A scientific hypothesis must be*falsifiable, implying that it is possible to identify a possible outcome of an experiment or observation that conflicts with predictions deduced from the hypothesis; otherwise, the hypothesis cannot be meaningfully tested

Not acquainted with the science enough to judge, but they have said there would be more extreme weather, and that appears to be the case. I assume that as time goes on they will keep altering and refining their analysis, which is what I assume scientists do. Who knows, if the evidence changes, they may change their recommendations. Meanwhile nothing wrong with taking steps to diminish the problem as we have with other environmental problems.

Everyone agrees that climate changes. What that 98% fail to do is show peoof that pollution is causing any of it or how m7ch of it is caused by pollution.

They can not say that yhe enviroment would not fontinue to change if we reduced pollution down to 0%.

As for your snark about the scuentific method i think it moght be you eho does not understand it. Your 98% os guessing but in order for it to crediable it has to tested with controls.



I will ask you for the 3rd and finale time where is your evidence to support their claims that sayisifies the above quote?

If you want to believe in man-made climate change i dont care. Stop being so arrogant and falsely claiming that you know it to be a fact. Its an ignorant thing to do. Your using dishonesty to try and win an argument.

When 98% of Climatologists concur, and the data is following the models very closely, it's about as close to fact as you're going to get. You're still in pre-1912 scientific levels. Maybe you'll start catching up.

I thought it was 97%, can you provide the names of those who changed their mind to make it 98%?

I thought I had read that the number went up to 98%, but I looked, and all-in-all, you are correct. I'll give you that one. 97% it is...

Our team of citizen science volunteers at Skeptical Science has published a new survey in the journal Environmental Research Letters of over 12,000 peer-reviewed climate science papers, as the Guardian reports today. This is the most comprehensive survey of its kind, and the inspiration of this blog's name: Climate Consensus – the 97%.

The U.S. is now the only country not part of Paris climate agreement after Syria signs on

The United States is now the only country on Earth that's declined to be a part of the Paris climate agreement, after Syria announced Tuesday it would join the landmark 2015 pact. In an address to delegates at a global climate meeting in Bonn, Germany, Syria’s deputy minister of local administration and environment, M. Wadah Katmawi, said his country would join the Paris deal “as soon as possible.”

“Syria’s announcement that it will join the Paris agreement leaves President Trump in not-so-splendid isolation as a result of his irresponsible and ignorant decision to withdraw the United States from the most comprehensive effort ever to confront the mounting climate crisis," said Alden Meyer, of the Union of Concerned Scientists. The U.S. is the second-largest carbon dioxide-emitting nation on the planet after China, according to the European Commission.

It's official. The rest of the world - every nation in the world - believes in science. We believe in unsubstantiated claims by large donors to our government. So the US has fallen behind in technology and innovation - we alone can't figure out alternatives because our Republican controlled legislature have swallowed the kool-aid from Trump.

Trump - "NBC News just called it the great freeze - coldest weather in years. Is our country still spending money on the GLOBAL WARMING HOAX?"

It's for idiots like Trump who have no idea of the difference between climate and weather that the term has been changed to Climate Change.

We have become a rogue nation that willfully ignores the 98% of scientists with evidence of what is happening to the earth, because it's bad for business. Our govt pretends those coal mining jobs are coming back when it's pretty clear that machines will be doing any work and not people. The rest of the first world countries will be experimenting with cutting edge technology, while we close our eyes and cover our ears - singing Nyah Nyah.

We have become a nation that officially supports opinion over evidence - a nation where people believe they can have their own facts. Our scientists are moving to other countries - the brain drain here is going to have a lasting impact on our technology. America is no longer a super power - we have become a laughing stock.

Every so often the US makes a good decision that seems wrong in the moment, either the result of wise leadership or serendipitous luck, that keeps them as the top economic force in the world. This is certainly one of those moments.

Betcha Syria has a whole lot less to lose by signing it than the United States.

"Here...sign our agreement."
"What's it cost?"
"Well...for you (Syria), it's a one-time charge of a buck fifty. For the United States, it'll cost them a million dollars a year."

It's not rocket science.

which makes it meaningless and why we should have pulled out.
The pledges that obama made though would have driven energy costs through the roof.

Not to mention all the money he planned to ship over seas.
