One is may. The other is could. No one cares about what may happen. No one cares about what could happen. The final sentence sounds pretty scary, but scares no one. I quote. As a result, the era of oil, gas and coal may yet live on – and, if it does, many of the rest of us may not. http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/the-year-climate-change-2015-may-be-the-beginning-the-end |

People tend to be optimistic about the future. People evolved that way over hundreds of millions of years. Alarmists say, you may die next year, you may die in 10 years, your children may die in 50 years, your grandchildren may die in 100 years. The more alarmists threaten people like that, the more they are offending people and putting people off. |

Tai Hai Chen wrote: A prediction uses the word "will", as in "will happen." Merely identifying a possibility involves the word "could", as in "could happen." Global Warming dupes are so easily convinced that identifying a possibility counts as "making a prediction". When the "prediction" doesn't happen, of course they are quick to point out that it only said "could." IPCC prediction from AR5: IPCC prediction from AR5: Amazon tipping point: Moist Amazon forests could change abruptly to less-carbon-dense, drought- and fire-adapted ecosystems IPCC prediction from AR5:For most metrics, global cost differences are small under scenarios of global participation and cost-minimizing mitigation pathways, but implications for some individual countries and sectors could be more significant .

Clouds block cold. - Spongy Iris Printing dollars to pay debt doesn't increase the number of dollars. - keepit If Venus were a black body it would have a much much lower temperature than what we found there.- tmiddles Ah the "Valid Data" myth of ITN/IBD. - tmiddles Ceist - I couldn't agree with you more. But when money and religion are involved, and there are people who value them above all else, then the lies begin. - trafn You are completely misunderstanding their use of the word "accumulation"! - Climate Scientist. The Stefan-Boltzman equation doesn't come up with the correct temperature if greenhouse gases are not considered - Hank :*sigh* Not the "raw data" crap. - Leafsdude IB STILL hasn't explained what Planck's Law means. Just more hand waving that it applies to everything and more asserting that the greenhouse effect 'violates' it.- Ceist |

CAGW creeps are saying CAGW is the most pressing existential threat to the American people. That is an extremely offensive statement. Parents tell CAGW creeps to stop threatening their families or else they'll call the cops. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/climate-changes-challenge-for-americans-from-sea-to-risingsea/article27943529/ Edited on 31-12-2015 18:58 |
