So you are blaming belief in a fantasy as the cause of global warming? Global warming was and is caused through excessive use of fossil fuels. It is also caused naturally...it is accelerated through human irresponsibility. If you choose to blame a few million peoples religious fantasy as the cause of global warming you are simply out of touch with reality.
The bill will get paid and not by the pitiful and deplorable Jesus you and the CCoi created and market..
Ever heard of a scapegoat? The bill will get paid or attempted only to satisfy the creditors such as stodgy old Texans who count on wise investments to tide them through retirement. Or it may well be that our investments get wiped out in order to pay the bill. Neither an actual Jesus nor a fantasy Jesus will likely help us there. He may well ask you what you dislike about the group of people known as the CCoI. I fear the CCP far worse. At any rate, i'm sure that the real Jesus wants us to forgive those who have hurt us. And yes, global warming is a human responsibility if we are to live.
There will be wars and rumors of wars. Wars will be fought over which bills get paid and which don't. Blaming the Biblical Christians wont solve anything.

Re: A denier denies
A claim is not scientific unless its falsifiable... Is climate change falsifiable?
Of course.
The edifice is built on the overwhelming abundance of actual facts and data.
If we find enough facts and data that contradict our present conclusions those conclusions have been falsified.
You don't science much do you.

No Phat, learn how to read. I'm saying that all of the suffering and deaths we will see will be the result of such fantasies. It is the stupid people that expect Jesus to fix what they broke that is the pitiful and deplorable cause of what will come.
It's not too late for the Biblical Christians to throw God away and get off their asses and begin mitigation.
But the Bill will get paid and not by the picayune Jesus marketed by the CCoI.

Re: A denier denies
he outsiders that the mainstream fear, made predictions that are true... The world is getting cooler.
That may be in your altered belief-based wishful-thinking fantasy world but the actual data that reality is showing us is quite the opposite.
How many top scientific studies from reputable corners agree with your fantasy-centered claim? Any?
Reality is sitting right there in front of your face. You can deny that reality all you want. It's not going away.
You are blind for the sake of your religious and political beliefs. How intellectually backward of you.

Re: Far Right vs Far Left Ideology
Oh OK now I get it. But you included me in this group. I dont expect Jesus to fix anything other than my heart and mind. I realize that it is my response as well as the response of others to achieve global unity and consensus and most importantly action.
I will say, however, that there are two camps. One camp trusts Jesus.
The other camp trusts only humans. (or false deities)

I don't see it as black and white as you do. Everyone...believer and unbeliever alike...have issues that can be better understood. You seem to think it is as simple as a large group of rational people vs a large group of stupid people. It isn't that simple.

Re: Far Right vs Far Left Ideology
You seem to think it is as simple as a large group of rational people vs a large group of stupid people. It isn't that simple.
Why isn't it?
A large group of rational people say "this is bad, this is very bad" vs a large group of irrational people (to include charlatans, the greedy, the religious and politically motivated in addition to your standard nutjob) that say "hey, ain't so bad, beers cold."
Is this THAT difficult a decision?
I know, I know, this is humanity and we have a tendency to do the stupid. We can't, should, but can't help it. We have Christians and republicans or their equivalents all over the world running everything so stupid it's going to be.
Seems simple enough to me. Stupid wins.

Meanwhile, the other experts have predicted that a cool period would begin last year - Australia has just had its coldest summer in living memory, snow fell in Mexico, Egypt, and other unusual parts of the world.
Prediction was true

The second link said "several" (NOT ALL) power plants failed due to the cold. The rest were shut down to avoid a complete collapse.
It was fossil fuel power plants failing that created the sharp increase in demand that caused the still functioning fossil fuel power plants to shut down.
Not according to the false Message 658, and the reaction it got from most everyone here.
Then you need to reread those posts. Simply saying that all fossil fuel power plants could be replaced by other types of fuel is the truth. It also doesn't cast any doubt on our dependence on fossil fuels at this very moment.
No one has yet shown me any proof that Republicans were 100% responsible for a lack of upgrades to fossil fuel plants.
It was a mixture of Republicans and plant owners. Republicans threw away regulations that would have required plant operators to winterize. Those same policies also resulted in the loss of connections with surrounding states. The plant owners decided they wanted more profit, so they didn't make the changes they needed to.
You are claiming that it is the Democrats fault, somehow. Care to explain?

There are two camps. One trusts only humans (mostly they trust themselves) but delude themselves into believing that they are trusting Jesus.
The other camp trusts reliable documented empirical evidence.
