Hey, Doc just gave climate science a huge compliment. Credit where it’s due. I was just clarifying for dim bulbs like you.

Holy cow. This is possibly the most definitive post of the Pretentious Git that I've ever seen. Hard to top.

Just another Climate Alarmist and their lies stayer... a scientific theory was never mentioned.

I stated that they are ALL theories, ie. SPECULATIONS, POSTULATIONS, CONJECTURES, etc.

... sorry Judge.

theory

noun
  1. a supposition or a system of ideas intended to explain something, especially one based on general principles independent of the thing to be explained.
    "Darwin's theory of evolution"
    synonyms:hypothesisthesisconjecturesuppositionspeculation, postulation, postulatepropositionpremisesurmiseassumptionpresumptionpresuppositionnotionguesshunchfeelingsuspicionMore
    • a set of principles on which the practice of an activity is based.
      "a theory of education"
    • an idea used to account for a situation or justify a course of action.
      "my theory would be that the place has been seriously mismanaged"

Gee and here I was giving you the benefit of the doubt. A “scientific theory was never mentioned”.

Every time I think you’re done shooting yourself in the foot, you always find another bullet in the chamber.

Oh I'm sorry "Climate Scientists" are like real scientists, are they?

... and here I was thinking that they claim the "science is settled" and anyone who disagrees is a "denier" - you know, like zealots and mercenaries.Wink  

You lose.Embarrassed

Ok let’s go with “avoid”, now you mention it. As far as I can see that’s what you do when it comes posting anything of actual substance in here. For the number of times you post, it’s remarkable how little you actually contribute to anything.

Maybe you’re finally tired of being pointless in the Trump thread and you’d thought you’d give it a go over here.

To all the school kids going on "strike" for Climate Change.

You are the first generation who have required air-conditioning in every classroom.

You want TV in every room and your classes are all computerised.

You spend all day and night on electronic devices.

More than ever, you don't walk or ride bikes to school but arrive in caravans of private cars that choke suburban roads and worsen rush hour traffic.

You are the biggest consumers of manufactured goods ever and update perfectly good expensive luxury items to stay trendy.

Your entertainment comes from electric devices.

Furthermore, the people driving your protests are the same people who insist on artificially inflating the population growth through immigration, which increases the need for energy, manufacturing and transport.

The more people we have, the more forest and bushland we clear and more of the environment is destroyed.

How about this...

Tell your teachers to switch off the air-con.

Walk or ride to school.

Switch off your devices and read a book.

Make a sandwich instead of buying manufactured fast food.

No, none of this will happen because you are selfish, badly educated, virtue signalling little turds, inspired by the adults around you who crave a feeling of having a "noble cause" while they indulge themselves in Western luxury and unprecedented quality of life.”

Wake up, grow up and shut up until you are sure of the facts before protesting.

look around the burbs, especially the new ones.

not a tree in sight, to cool the house, so every house has an air conditioner. Even more required now in rising temperatures.

no trees to cool the ozone layers, create clouds for rain etc etc 

CHINA, land develpoers, air condition sales, etc etc laughing all the way to the bank, and wrecking the climate/world along the way

It was posted in your China thread.

Do you read it?

Anyway, they are building artificial moons to reflect light to do away with night time street lighting. How clever is that? How much in power cost and in emissions will be saved?

The flog that wrote that absolves the generation that parented the children from all blame.

According to the flog It is the children that 'demand' air conditioning in every classroom.  It is the children who 'demand' to be chauffeur driven to school.  The children who put a TV in every room.  It is apparently the children who created, manufactured, and marketed all those electronic devices. And it is the children's fault that they are supposedly selfish, badly educated, 'virtue -signalling' (WETF that means) little turds.  

The whole diatribe absolves the children's parents from all blame.  It's all the kid's fault.  

You can bet your boots the flog that wrote it was a baby boomer cusping Gen X, the very generation that actually demanded class rooms be air conditioned, that refused to allow their children the liberty to walk or ride to school, who put a TV in every room, who created manufactured and marketed all those electronic devices to the children, who provided the kids with their bad education.

Now confronted with the world they have created for their children he wants to blame the children for it. 

Another petrified middle class white man scared gelatiless that the world has gotten away from him and he wants to go back.  

A flog, first class.

with your response no wonder the world wars with itself.

do you actually have the answer

or do we just continue to blame each other.?

the generation coming after you will blame you for not helping.

thought about that?

I agree 100% with Tontonan, and have said it before, this was tantamount to child abuse.

Those children were indoctrinated by brainwashed left-wing zealots both at home and in the classroom and then exploited by parading them like trained monkeys in front of the media - if people don't find that disturbing, it is a worry ... put it this way, could you imagine the outcry if these kids were Pro-Adani Climate Skeptics???Cry

The teachers should have been sacked, and a parent brought before child services.

There is very little difference between what is being done to these kids and what was done to the Hitler Youth ... the perpetrators share the same frenzied, blinkered arrogance and elitist bias and bigotry.Evil Smile

If the teachers just did what they get paid to do, which is teach kids how to read and write and spell, firstly, and not be stuffing them full of their own ideas, it would be better.   Kids are easily influenced by adults, and teachers shouldnt be taking them off on protest marches !!!  Geez, half of them couldnt make a sensible statement about what they were marching for, let alone get the spelling correct on their placards.  Embarrassed

   I Think Adolf's fanatical followers were a result of what teachers in schools brain washed kids with.      . We know what a disaster that turned out to be .
Much the same faces us today , on many fronts.
