#10  IMO, HAWKINGS, etal > however imperfect, are ilustrative of my Belief that the majority of the GW-Solar Perts are anticipating the Sun to get hotter + release more Heat Radiation-Energy towards Earth, a Belief which is suppor by the News this week of Perts expecting EARTH TO WITNESS ANDOR EXPER SOLAR FLARES 30-50% STRONGER THAN IN [any]PREVIOUS CYCLES???

MSM-NET > PERTS > STRONGER SOLAR FLARES + LITTLE-To-NO-SUNSPOTS-FOR-DECADES = ?????

What does your CAR/AUTO ENGINE, ETC. say when it overheats but can't release stored Energy(s)???

#9  IIRC, I understood STEPHEN HAWKINGS as claiming or inferring that GLOBAL WARMING WILL SERIOUSLY OR SEVERELY DAMAGE ALL HUMANITY + CIVILZ, IFF NOT PER SE DESTROY IT, WIDIN [roughly]300 YEARS OR SO UNLESS MANKIND CAN BEGIN + MASTER DEEP SPACE EXPLORATION + COLONIZATION WITHIN 100 YEARS, To includ making forced changes as per MMGW = ANTHROPOGENIC WARMING???

#6  Simply put, our planet has been warming since the last Ice Age around 12,000 years ago. If this trend continues unabated, the Earth will eventually be hotter than the surface of the Sun. When that happens, we will be like, totally screwed and stuff.

#4  Always remember that "Man Made Anthropogenic Global Warming Climate Change Disruption" has no negative case.

Neither does religion. There is no case in religion that permits proving that God or gods don't exist. More importantly, it is also forbidden to question what the priests say about God or gods as well, in their holy books, or even whimsically.

This is why Galileo was forced to recant. Not because he questioned the existence of God, but because his observations called into question the infallibility of the priests.

#3  I predict that over some time they will settle on four key names for this weather phenomenon: Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter.

#1  Cooling was the problem, until we cleaned up the US particulates. Then it was warming, but if you can't prove that, expand the focus while making it vague and vaporous.

The explanation he gave last week was that the impact from greenhouse gas emissions covers a broad "disruption" of climate patterns ranging from precipitation to storms to hot and cold temperatures. Those changes, he said, affect the availability of water, productivity of farms, spread of disease and other factors.

Everything bad, in other words, no matter who thinks it's bad. The antithesis of Obama, who was all good to everyone.

Everything is our fault. Hot. Cold. Rain. Drought. Storms. Sunshine. Change. Statis. All of it. All caused by our living the good life.

They have to get control of your global footprint. From each according to what they determine is our ability, to each - whatever is left over after paying the bureaucrats their 10% COLA every year.
