I have on several occasions, but since they come from paywalled papers, you don't believe me.Show us some facts.

GEEEZ - You would hope that by now everyone would at least have warm shelter within solid walls. It's been four months already. I'm sure your neighbors appreciate your efforts. Hang in there.Disaster recovery is slowly progressing but, after 120 days, rebuilding in and around Aasheville is still at a snail's pace. Our economy is damaged. Folks are living in tents in temperatures sometimes near zero. My wife and I volunteer at a relief kitchen that is still serving hundreds of meals per day thanks to FEMA and World Central Kitchen.
Why should we be looking at this?Forget the pundits. There are thousands of papers written by scientists every year that we should be paying attention to, instead.
Actually very few of the peer reviewed studies make extreme claims, but they do have large error margins. It is usually the media who takes to highest extremes of the error bars, and write”scientists say”!Why should we be looking at this?
This imbeciles have been running around screaming about the sky falling for 35 damn years in my lifetime. How many times did they lie to us before we stop believing them?
Can you name any imbeciles screaming? Try to be factual, now, instead of just a generalization.This imbeciles have been running around screaming about the sky falling for 35 damn years in my lifetime. How many times did they lie to us before we stop believing them?

Yeah it's the climate change cult. This is what you can't have a discussion about it.Actually very few of the peer reviewed studies make extreme claims, but they do have large error margins. It is usually the media who takes to highest extremes of the error bars, and write”scientists say”!
Yep.Actually very few of the peer reviewed studies make extreme claims, but they do have large error margins. It is usually the media who takes to highest extremes of the error bars, and write”scientists say”!
How dare you try to apply physics to science.So, we apparently have another atmospheric river on its way to the Pacific Northwest. The projection I saw yesterday has it hitting landfall around the Oregon/California border from the Pacific Ocean. We can expect natural flooding, but when we have towns and cities claiming unnatural flood levels due to Climate Change....
Stop and think for a moment. Take those glasses of indoctrination off and consider a few facts.
We build in known flood plains.
We limit the land around us from absorbing water into the ground, by capping it off with asphalt, concrete, and building. Then we channel it into storm sewers that give the streams and rivers more water volume than they had before we capped off all that land. This affects the next community downstream from all that land use change. Then they do the same thing, adding more water that would be there naturally, for the next community.
We restrict the flow on rivers by building bridges and reducing the natural flow widths of them.
At some point, we flood. There is no place for the high volume of water to go, as fast as it is coming. The laws of physics require it to rise in level, so that gravity can equalize to a volume of flow equal to its input.
