It seems pretty clear that you've never researched this topic outside of your echo chamber. Google up the articles from the IPCC scientists who quit because of the politiciaztion of climate science. They say very plainly that the science has become a sad joke. That only the most alarming findings make into the important academic papers & get funding. What we see then is a competition among scientists all vying for the same academic grants & notoriety, where the only chance to advance is to have the most alarming findings. Moderates & skeptics are left in the dust or run out of the field.
The IPCC report for policy makers was an especially good example of this politization. Scientists would draft a chapter and have to submit it to various bureaucrats with no scientific background who had "edit" power over the results. They could not re-write the science, but anything they didn't like they simply had edited out of the papers. Why? because the UN was giving away money to the various countries most damaged by climate change, which incentivized them to push the most alarming scenarios possible, to get the most money. The scientists said the various chapters of were a shell of what was originally written, but this is what passes as climate science. This mind you, is from the IPCC, the generally accepted ultimate word on climate change that all others take their lead from.
It's hopeless, really. Such people are so addicted to hate and paranoia that reason and logic simply cannot penetrate the fears, hatreds and prejudices that define their reality. It's like we've been thrown back into the Middle Ages.
Yep, and the U.S. has been doing way more than its fair share. Good for China, they're loaded. They can pay for all the life-saving climate change for the next four years. We've been paying almost triple what other countries have been paying for that thing.
Are you aware of how much CO2 is put into the atmosphere when there is a volcanic eruption? Do you know how that compares to the CO2 emissions of automobiles? I do. You don't have any clue about a thing you're talking about. You are here to post links to left wing propaganda and push an agenda. You know nothing about science.
No you don't know, but I'm no longer surprised.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the world’s volcanoes, both on land and undersea, generate about 200 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) annually, while our automotive and industrial activities cause some 24 billion tons of CO2 emissions every year worldwide. Despite the arguments to the contrary, the facts speak for themselves: Greenhouse gas emissions from volcanoes comprise less than one percent of those generated by today’s human endeavors.
You cannot even understand a site aimed at grammar school kids, so you call it propaganda....I'm surprised you didn't use the usual GOP response "Fake news"....
Answer the question, did you see that in school this week?

Judging by your posts your knowledge of science does indeed belong in the middle ages, or perhaps earlier.

Maybe sometime in the last 30 years, Brazil's government started taking steps to preserve the forest, and hence why there are still rainforests.
One extreme prediction being false does not prove the entire set of ideas likely false. That's like saying because Charleston SC had one bad earthquake in 1886 and none since then proves that the region is not affected by fault lines.

All of what you said about the so-called politicization or corruption of the IPCC scientists has been debunked. Get a clue.
