Electric Cars: Chev Bolt seems to be the first practical one.

And you state this because you have critically reviewed the data and discussed this with some of the vast majority of climatologists, geophysicists and astrophysicists who believe CO2 is important? Or did you just regurgitate another line of political bs from some two bit political activist writing crap to energize the Breitbart faithful???

It's funny you ask that, because it's a NASA engineer who told me this; "there are only 4 things controlling the heating and cooling of the earth and don't believe anything else. Earth gets closer to sun the earth warms, earth moves away from sun, earth cools. Sun warms earth warms, sun cools earth cools. Nothing else matters." My sun completed in first robotics in HS, their team was guided by NASA, the engineer who designed the robonaut was man who told me this... Team 118 if you want to look it up. Funny.

It's funny your NASA engineer would tell you that.

NASA ROBOTICS engineer. Maybe with a sense of humor.

Certainly a NASA engineer who never heard of the earth cooling effects of massive volcanic eruptions that put millions of tons of ash and sulfuric acid droplets into the upper atmosphere where they reflect sunlight and cause multiyear cooling resulting in years of crop failures and famine. And I guess the dinosaurs must just be on vacation somewhere because here have been no changes in Earth orbit to explain their sudden demise.

Having a robotics engineer opine on the role of CO2 is like asking a dermatologist for an opinion on management of a brain tumor. Worse actually as a dermatologist would at least have seen a few lectures years ago in medical school. I can easily imagine a robotics engineer never having read more than a newspaper on the subject of climate change.

Earth orbit in almost circular path around the sun. If the orbit would go closer it would have to orbit faster and we would have shorter days. And vice versa. I don't see evidence of it in all recorded history.

The robotic engineer was just pulling HS leg.

Study up you couldn't be any more wrong....

Orbits and revolutions and then revelations?

This is all "little picture" as compared to the big picture...

The absolute fact is if the powers that be have/are changing the "time of observation" to recorded temperatures...This cannot be denied...and the absolute bottom line is the "TOB's" are the only reason there is any increase in global temperature data...period...end of any credible argument by the agw zealots...

Hey Houston, take a trip to the North Pole. Take a cruise from Seattle to New York via the NorthWest Passage. Is the lack of any ice to impede your journey simply a matter of falsified data sets???

You really shouldn't have slept through those classes on critical thinking in high school.

You might want to take that trip yourself. A major climate study in the north was cancelled since the ships could not make it through the ice.

Large Canadian Arctic climate change study cancelled due to climate change -- ScienceDaily
