AFAIK that number refers to what could happen if past plans would be implemented by the end of the century, as you may not know (timelines always trip conservatives) there are other centuries coming after that, what it is calculated is that even worse heat increases **will be avoided** if we do something. > [@ralph124c](#): > > Of course, people like Al Gore stand to make billions off this hoax, so they will keep up with the alarmist BS..“those poor polar bears”..yeah, perfect sense…😉 I take it that you missed the complete bitch slapping of Lord Monckton that also minimized the Polar Bear troubles. > **[Abraham reply to Monckton](https://skepticalscience.com/Abraham-reply-to-Monckton.html)** > > Guest post by John Abraham Dear Mr. Monckton, Thank you for taking the time to comment on my presentation.

[http://www.stthomas.edu/engineering/jpabraham/](http://www.stthomas.edu/engineering/jpabraham/) What was notorious is that the Republicans did choose this loony to be their champion in the latest hearings in congress. Seems that the most respectful honest to goodness skeptical scientists do not want to be embarrassed or be put under oath. That is a long presentation, but it perfectly encompasses the shameful misleading efforts that deniers are up to now. ---

Just think of it like Afghanistan, president Obama’s war of choice. It’s just another way the president makes sense for this nation now, more than ever, _Obama_’s the One! ---

> [@Smeghead](#): > > Ye gads. When the people in your corner consist of lekatt, ivan astikov, and ralph124c, that’s as close as you’re going to get to a sign from God that you’re backing the wrong position. Change your mind, Poptech, before Rand Rover joins your club and you’re doomed for eternity! I was wondering why the usual contrarians were missing in action, I would have to assume that they are smart enough to recognize that a jerk that agrees with them is still a jerk. ---

> [@Rhythmdvl](#): > > Otherwise, I’m done with this Turing test. Heh, that’s _exactly_ what I was thinking. When I worked in a psych hospital we had a patient that reminds me a lot of **Poptech**. He sounded reasonable and lucid when he would spout some bullshit, but his repertoire was pretty much like I’ve seen here. Logic and reason would careen off him like a Super Ball in a handball court. He would win his argument when you finally admitted defeat out of sheer fatigue, muttered, “Yeah, whatever, you win,” and wander off. ---

Is that so? I don’t have the intellectual capacity to understand but the people you are arguing with (or as you define it, debating) do and have addressed many a tedious wanker just like yourself and on every occasion have burnt the same bullshit arguments to the ground. You should hang out on websites that support your fucked up point of view. And ETA: I’m here to try to learn things I know nothing about. And you sir, are only teaching me that you can polish a turd, but it’s a turd none the less. Time reading your posts is time wasted as far as I’m concerned. You are definitely one tedious fucking wanker. ---
