Beto: We only have '10 years' left to address climate change

Sorry. You're right.

He said that civilization would end.

I suppose, in the view of most Democrats, that would be a good thing.

Return the world to the natural paradise it is supposed to be. Of course there would be billions of bodies laying around after the famines, but the natural course of things would clear that up quickly.

Can I get a link to him saying that civilization is going to end in 10 years?
 
I'm curious about the relevance of this question. It looks like it's based on a formal fallacy, but would be willing to listen to an explanation.

Just wondering if the concurrent rise of Temperature and CO2 demonstrate a causal link or a mere correlation.

The rise of temperature in the past absent a similar rise in CO2 demonstrates empirically that the causal link is not required for the temperature to rise.

In truth, temperature has been the cause of rising CO2 in the geologically recent past.
 
Yes, when you click on the link, the words "left on this Earth" never appear anywhere on there. We've been saying that to you. When do you plan to admit that your subject line and OP are lies? You can toss Fox News under the bus for lying if it makes you feel better about copying their lying headline and lying statement on here, and without you actually watching the interview with Beto for yourself before advancing Fox's lie on this board.

And where did I say that we only had 10 years left on earth? I posted the headlines accurately and called Beto exactly what he is, kook. NEVER have I said we only have 10 years left on earth. the article title speaks for itself. Why only 10 years to address global warming? Then what?

Weird that you don’t have the brainpower to understand why Beto is calling for urgency, but you think you have the brainpower to know all the scientists in this area are wrong.
 
Actually no. Your claim was that he said we only have 10 years left on this Earth. That has been proven to be a lie. He never said we only have 10 years left on this Earth.

And if you had done the adult thing, and actually listened to what he said, he explained quit clearly why he believes that climate change needs to be addressed in less than 10 years.

#BeBest and #FailLess

You made a claim of something that I never said, does that make you a liar or just mistaken? Where did I say we had "only 10 years left on this earth?" We have according to Beto 10 years left to ADDRESS Climate change. You mature enough to admit you were wrong in claiming that I made the claim that we "only have 10 years left on earth?"
 
Since you cant win the argument so you resort to ad homs. How classy. :roll:



So?

No. It’s just a statement of fact.

These ‘arguments’ you have are pretty stale and are blown out of the water with regularity.


I may be wrong about you- maybe you’re not that sharp. I’ll pay more attention in the future.

Again, a personal attack calling me a liar for something I never said. No question about it, you radicals are a cult out for total and complete personal destruction where you are the only ones right on every issue. Where did I say we only had 10 years left on this earth? Want me to post scientists that disagree with Beto and you?

you radicals pick and choose issues based upon emotion and then never let them go always resorting to name calling when challenged. You aren't dealing with your group of minions here that buy and worship every word you say, results matter not your opinions and in this case basically calling me a liar over something I never said speaks volumes about you and your character. You are among many who are going to assure that the Democrats never again regain the WH
 
He's off by a decade, but no one is saying its the end of the world. Just the beginning of a nightmarish world that I don't think any of us want for our children.

"In it, some 90 climate scientists from 40 countries conclude that if humans don’t take immediate, collective action to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius by 2040, the consequences will effectively be baked into the natural systems of the planet. With so much heat-trapping carbon in the atmosphere, there will be, in effect, no turning back. The extreme droughts, devastating wildfires, massive floods, deadly hurricanes, and widespread famines that we’re seeing more and more of these days will cease to be statistical anomalies and instead be more like seasonal markers, as regular as the changing of the leaves."

The same people were saying the same thing 20 years ago.
 
No. It’s just a statement of fact.

You claimed I was a liar when I said that Al Gore predicted the ice caps would melt, and I proved you wrong, so you resort to ad homs, again. There's a troll here alright, and it isnt me.
 
You made a claim of something that I never said, does that make you a liar or just mistaken? Where did I say we had "only 10 years left on this earth?" We have according to Beto 10 years left to ADDRESS Climate change. You mature enough to admit you were wrong in claiming that I made the claim that we "only have 10 years left on earth?"

Your subject line and your OP are right there. Not sure why you continue to lie about that.
 
Can I get a link to him saying that civilization is going to end in 10 years?

It was in the link provided.

"We know that certain oil and gas corporations have been fighting public policy on this issue, have been hiding their own science and research at the expense of our climate and human life," O'Rourke told Hayes. "So whenever those two things come in contrast or in opposition, I'm always going to choose the people of this country."

"Having said that, I want to make sure those who work in the oil and gas industry, those who work in the fossil fuel industry are brought along as partners to make sure that we make this transition in the ten years we have left to us as the science and scientists tell us to make the kind of bold change that we need," the former congressman continued.

"We cannot afford to alienate a significant part of this country and we cannot do this by half measure or by only half of us. It can't be Democrats versus Republicans, big cities versus small towns, we all have a shared interest in a cleaner future for this country. So I'm going to work with, listen to everyone anytime, anywhere to make sure that we advance this agenda and get to net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050."

I don't see the part where he says civilization will end in 10 years. Can you point that out to me?
 
I'm not a leftwing radical. You must be confusing me with Trump and all his left wing fans who voted for him in 2016, knowing how he was a lifelong liberal.

I'm an honest poster who points out lies when I see them. Like everyone else who is honest did in this thread.

Still waiting for you to admit that your subject line was a lie.

This explains why I didn't waste my vote like you did

Every Time Democrats Talk, I Want To Vote For Trump Twice

As for the subject line, it is what it is and nothing in that subject line claims we have "ONLY 10 YEARS LEFT ON THIS EARTH!" You keep making things up to suit your ideology and yes you are indeed a radical
 
Your subject line and your OP are right there. Not sure why you continue to lie about that.

Exactly but it does appear that you are reading challenged, no where in that subject line does it say we have "only 10 year left on this earth" You simply cannot apologize and admit when wrong. We only have 10 years left to address climate change is quite different than we only have 10 years left on this earth. You cannot seem to comprehend the difference.

You can't seem to comprehend that he never said we only have 10 years left on this Earth, and you and Fox News lied about it.

Someone is lying about his own post.

The NEW face of the Democratic Party and more gloom and doom from another Kook running for the office of the Presidency. Perfect example of why no one should ever vote for a Democrat for National office again.

So?

Virtually the entire scientific community accepts Anthropogenic Global Warming. There were no climate models predicting that the poles would melt in just 10 years, or for that matter in the next 40 years. Many models do predict ice free summers in the Arctic by the end of the century. The claims of Al Gore are irrelevant to climate science.
 
You can't seem to comprehend that he never said we only have 10 years left on this Earth, and you and Fox News lied about it.

Really? where did Fox or me say that we only had "10 years left on earth?" Do you often have issues of delusion and seeing things that aren't there? sounds very liberal to me as you see what you want to see but not what is actually there
 
Someone is lying about his own post.

That isn't the quote of the OP, that is another leftwing lie, what the hell does the OP actually say???? "Beto, we only have 10 years left TO ADDRESS climate change

Right in your OP below. Not sure how many times we all have to point it out to you before you read your own post. Remember - this is your post, and yours alone. Here you go:

Except we know you were wrong here and you have not proven one factual error on my part.

Again, post where I said anything about time left on EARTH? you people seem to have a problem with simple words, like provide vs. promote, or time left vs. time to address. You and others just need to get a room with no windows and no outside access because the next 6 years are going to be really tough on your health
