Greetings from the source of all heat (sunny 102 F but it's a dry heat) ... anyway, just a reminder to participating NYC forum members that the August temperature forecast contest thread is open. The July scoring has been estimated and almost everybody scored very close to consensus despite a range of forecasts, just all variations cancelling out. This leaves the contest in perhaps the most competitive mode it has seen for many years. Annual update not yet posted but it was close after June so will stay that way, I believe.

How dumb would you have to be to not believe it. 

I certainly believe that fossil fuel gases are contributing to global warming.  However, science is very divided on this subject.  I guess you can argue that science is also political.  

Jeff Beradelli is a big proponent of man made emissions  causing the warm up.  I asked him to go on Sean Hannity's show, but he declined.  While Hannity is a staunch conservative, I think he would have given Jeff a fair shake, if he stuck only to the science and presented it well.

Good morning Dark Star. This is a missed opportunity. I remember former Mayor de Blasio being interviewed on his show. A good discourse done civilly would help all of us. Stay well, as always ….

I vaguely remember the interview.  deBlasio would not answer certain simple questions.

I'm not on the electric cars will save our planet train because as of today the damage is not much different than ICE vehicles. 

Mass public transportation, trains would actually be far more effective.

Sure, we’ll adapt after half of us are wiped out. Most of which are people who live in poor and under developed countries. I’m sure many in this country will disregard that as any importance because of the fascist nature of our ideology.

I was at the first earth day in 1970 in Central Park…I know a little about the climate since I’ve studied it for 60 years…I don’t listen to people like John Kerry or Al gore…they are politicians making money off of the climate changing… if you think they are worried about flooding on the coast or some other disaster you are wrong…

Chances are those prominent enough to get a lot of people to listen to them also have a lot of money or are accused of profiting off of the cause so that logic doesn't track to me. 

Do I wish more people listened to scientists than Al Gore, sure but sadly that's not how things work.
