> [@New\_Deal\_Democrat](#): > > Saying that does not make it true. Your only argument is that in a perfect society, which presumably is one controlled by those you like and agree with, racial differences will disappear, and the long deferred hopes that inspired the civil rights movement in the United States and the independence movements in Africa will finally be realized. You have no reason to expect them to be realized, only blind hope and the will to believe. Lol, as it is said: The Revolution has not failed. The Revolution has been betrayed. Only complete conquest by the Revolution will reveal the benefits of the Revolution. ---

Unfortunately, by the time it becomes obvious that the consumption of fossil fuels is causing global warming the damage will be considerable, and irreversible. Even then many will deny global warming. How can you reason with someone who believes that the earth is less than 10,000 years old and that Jesus will come again soon anyway, so the climate 100 years ago does not matter because time will have stopped by then. ---

Studies show that water vapor feedback roughly doubles the amount of warming caused by CO2. So if there is a 1°C change caused by CO2, the water vapor will cause the temperature to go up another 1°C. When other feedback loops are included, the total warming from a potential 1°C change caused by CO2 is, in reality, as much as 3°C. > **[How sensitive is our climate?](https://skepticalscience.com/climate-sensitivity-advanced.htm)** > > \Climate sensitivity can be calculated empirically by comparing past temperature change to natural forcings at the time.

However, values this low are inconsistent with numerous studies using a wide variety of methods, including (i) paleoclimate data, (ii) recent empirical data, and (iii) generally accepted climate models.

If the negro race was biologically equivalent to the white race there would be less variability between the races. And I thought NephilimFree was a moron. Yeesh. Please actually read up on genetic differences between phenotypes and socio-environmental factors before talking about stuff like this; might make you seem like less of an idiot. ---

I have explained multiple times that cultural influences are more important than any assumed genetic issues. And quotas weren’t there to prevent too many Jews from entering and taking over- it was due to plain old bigotry. IT’S NOT GENETIC SUPERIORITY. I refuse to say this again. ETA: there were quotas on blacks as well (generally a total prohibition). They must have been even more afraid that the blacks would take over, being so superior. ---
