Wildlife collapse from climate change is predicted to hit suddenly and sooner

I could come up with 300 given enough time. But it's not my job to convince people who are unable to evaluate evidence rationally. You can't cherry pick three things out of three hundred. All your objections are strawmen - nobody claims a picture of a melting glacier is evidence of climate change. Now the satelite data showing Greenland and Antarctica losing ice at an unprecedented rate is good evidence. I want to say just take an honest look at the whole of the evidence, not just things that agree with your bias. I don't think you will though. Good luck with that attitude with anything in life - it has a way of punishing people whose mental model of the world drifts too far from reality.

You attacked me, your up and down.

A local community college, when the epidemic is over, should be able to give you a course in remedial reading sufficient for you to read and understand my posts I referenced.

For your 300 pieces of evidence, I asked for only three. So, you were unable to give even three and, instead, attacked my "rationality".

Rationality? I hold a Ph.D. in applied math from a world class research university, and have published peer reviewed research in several technical area.

Let's see your three best pieces of evidence.

So, how do you explain scientific consensus on climate crisis?

MIT Professor R. Lindzen explains the consensus in

"The Great Global Warming Swindle"

The explanation is in one word -- money, as in two words, too much money.

In addition, look at the arguments. Since I hold a good STEM field Ph.D., I'm supposed to do that.

For more, I gave my explanations in the two URLs to YC I mentioned above.

Wow, how does one achieve this level of self-deception? Can this power be used for good as well as evil?
