Since this fucking religion started in the 1970's they have made hundreds of predictions whose time has come and gone. Every single one of these predictions failed to happen. None of them even came close to happening.

This climate religion must be stomped out of existence for humanity to survive. And just like all the other major religions, the people at the top know it's bullshit.

Every single one of these predictions failed to happen.

You might be mistaken about that.

Hansen's predictions based on a model built for the analysis of the atmosphere of Venus in 1981 was eerily accurate

More modern modelling has been bang on the nose wrt global mean surface temperature.

Climate change at the poles seems to be progressing much worse than predicted. But models have a limit of resolution, and the nature of the beast is that some of the small changes that fall in between the pixels blow up into measurable or even large effects.

This climate religion must be stomped out of existence for humanity to survive.

You need to follow the money. Oil is making people who own the reserves very rich. Sunlight and wind aren't owned by anyone.

Religion is counter to science. The science behind climate change is pretty straightforward:

  • Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide.
  • Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas.
  • Increasing greenhouse gas concentration increases the greenhouse effect.

Al Gore In 2005: "Within the decade, there will be no more snows of Kilimanjaro." Kilimanjaro In 2015: snow still there.

Why would you support the climate accord... Russia is for it.

"Within the decade, there will be no more snows of Kilimanjaro."

From the paper: Kilimanjaro Ice Core Records: Evidence of Holocene Climate Change in Tropical Africa.

Over the 20th century, the areal extent of Kilimanjaro’s ice fields has decreased 80%, and if current climatological conditions persist, the remaining ice fields are likely to disappear between 2015 and 2020.

The loss as at 2 years ago was 90%. But not, as you point out, 100%. Because Gore talked about one particular point on the African glacial loss landscape that went slower than predicted, it doesn't mean that the science is wrong. It means that that data point was misunderstood. (Slightly).
