    Now, where are those 2,000 species extinct in the last century?

    Easy google search, first result: UN Environment Programme: 200 Species Extinct Every Day, Unlike Anything Since Dinosaurs Disappeared 65 Million Years Ago | HuffPost[^]

    There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data. There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

    A link to a guardian article? Name the species. Name 2000 species. Find actual evidence instead of some story in a paper.

          So yo totally missed the part abotu water vapour feedbacks and its absence in reality? Sigh. Why? That IS the point. That is the single key crucial critical issue. Why are you ignoring it?

          Because this is speculation. No-one knows for sure what will actually happen. Temperatures may rise enough that the absence (or not) of water vapour is irrelevant. Maybe it will be a critical factor, maybe it won't. All we do know for sure is that there is currently an upward trend in global average temperatures, and there is a general consensus that mankind has played a significant role in bringing this about. Everything else is speculation and hypothesis. But if the trend continues - and for not much longer - there could be quite severe consequences.

              To a point - but the word "socialism" on its own is pretty meaningless. To most Americans (and you are one, I believe) the word conveys a meaning tantamount to communism. To most Europeans it has a very different meaning. NO one (well, hardly anyone, and no-one that matters) is talking about literally taking money off richer people and giving it to poorer ones on the "to each according to their needs" principle, but - as whathisname said in the the quote, a "de facto" redistribution of wealth, by which he means changes in policy which will result in some such. Unregulated capitalism is proving to be a disaster, not just socially. but environmentally (and this is where he's coming from of course.) When companies care about nothing but their bottom line, and are given free reign to do what they want, then others suffer, and this is ultimately unacceptable. It has to change. So their bottom line will be hit, and a certain redistribution of wealth will follow. Call that socialism if you want, but at least recognise that there are degrees of it - it doesn't have to be blood red. But carry on as you are, and blood will very likely be spilled in due course. The current shitfest will not be tolerated forever.

                No it isn't. It is the fundamental basis of CAGW. Without the +ve feedback from water vapour the warming from CO2 is very mild. AND THERE IS NO WATER VAPOUR INCREASE. This is fact, not speculation. Are you aware of the basic physics of AGW? This is from the MODTRAN model. MODTRAN Infrared Light in the Atmosphere[^] You can see the additional 3.4 watts of forcing. Now increase the surface temp till the emission is the same and the value at '...Difference' is zero. The surface temp you need is 14.75 So 0.75 is the increase in surface temperature that doubling CO2 gives, according to MODTRAN. This is the physics behind AGW, and without a water vapour increase this is all you get. 0.75 C. Have a play, it is an interesting model.

                    I didn't read the article. You were asking where the 2000 extinct species were as if we aren't losing any species. I pointed you to a google result of over 26 million results that talk about how many species we lose on average in a day. If you're going to choose to ignore it, that's OK with me.

                        NO, it is speculation. No one - NO ONE - knows what is going to happen. But MOST climate scientists are more pessimistic. People like you who claim to KNOW it's all nonsense are simply lying. You do not know anything of the sort. The point is, there are too many unknowns for anyone to really know. WV is just one.

                          No, it is a FACT that water vapour has not increased with temperature. Thus it is not amplifying the warming from CO2. Did you take a look at MPDTRAN and have a play with it? It really is very interesting.

                          What other +ve feedback process is there? The reason water vapour was looked at is because for each Kelvin increase air can hold 7% more water. What other mechanism exists?

                            Put it this way, as Churchil said, the passive majority will never control a fervent minority. The muslim council of Britain asked Blair if they could implement Sharia law in the UK. So the answer is 'all of them', since those who don't are not in control.

                                One of the nicest blokes I know is a Muslim. His daughter was recently lauded as a girl coder at a set of Microsoft events. He's one of the most vocal advocates FOR women's rights that I know. Then again, people like him don't play into your narrative so you'll write him off as a statistical outlier.

                                  I am not going to argue this with you, except to say that if you seriously think you can know and predict the world's climate, then you are a compete and utter fool, and we're done.

                                    Good on him. I wish there were more. The problem is if you put him in a community of muslims where the majority want sharia law, will he still be vocal, or will he shut up?

                                      I am not going to argue this with you, except to say that if you seriously think you can know and predict the world's climate, then you are a compete and utter fool, and we're done.

                                      who said anything about predicting the future climate? I was merely pointing out that the very basis of CAGW is in fact disproved. Water vapour is not amplifying warming from CO2. Thus CO2 is totaly beneficial, mild warming and huge increase in plant growth. And this is exactly what we have seen.

                                      Why dont you direct that sentiment at alarmist climate scientists who do exactly that?

                                        Good on him. I wish there were more. The problem is if you put him in a community of muslims where the majority want sharia law, will he still be vocal, or will he shut up?

                                        Knowing what I know about him, he'd still be vocal. He's not exactly the shy and retiring type.

                                          Good, with more like him perhaps we can see islam modernise, take on western values, and become acceptable in the west.
