Can Trump TRULY unify the GOP, or has that ship sailed?

Climate science is similar to psychology. Things can be observed, rationalized, and those discoveries can even lend to predictability. But climate and weather is too vast and has too many variables...like people to reach definitive conclusions.

It isn't rigid science to me.

I think the mistake was to put definitive timelines to it, both scientifically, and worse politically. Climate and the resulting weather from it can be volatile and unpredictable at times. Still, there are trends based on annually occurring events

Edit: Do you think the Earth's temp increasing by 1° over 50 years is inconsequential?

The biggest factor in our climate, the sun is generally ignored in the data.

Climate science is extraordinarily complex because there are so many variables and feedback loops. Additionally, it is practically impossible to make statistically valid comparisons to long term climate trends when we have only been collecting detailed meteorological data for about 150 years.
The one thing I think all scientists should be able to agree on is that if you pump enough additional CO2 into the atmosphere, things WILL eventually heat up.
The rub is that all of the complexity makes it hard to determine the exact point at which that occurs and what degree of heating results from what CO2 levels.
Prudence would seem to recommend taking whatever steps we can to reduce the rate at which we put additional CO2 into the atmosphere. But it is senseless for the IS to do so unilaterally while China and India keeps doing business as usual. And it is not wise to take measures that cripple our economy because a weakened US cannot do anyone else any good in terms of research or leadership.

Told for years that was due to CFCs.

Yes, I know, but the SUN is the constant factor, as you know. I may can agree that hasn't been mentioned. Maybe it was understood in scientific community???? I don't really know. We can't control the sun. I do know that fact

Does that lead you the truth about about Trump? Do you still emotionally love him because you said, "he made me rich🤭🤭

I am so flattered that you remember things I have said. I don't remember nor care to have any of your posts in my memory. It just isn't that important.

But I get it. You don't like Trump for some inexplicable reason, therefore everything he does is bad. But I'll take those mean tweets any day and along with it the secure border, the respect of the rest of the world (whether or not it is because like you they think he's crazy matters not), not getting us into wars, lower inflation, the list is almost endless.

MAGA baby!

You are 100% correct on the border
Inflation, outside of oil, would be just as bad
The world didn't respect/nor were they fearful of Trump
We were involved in wars and numerous military conflicts under Trump. I'm always confused as to how that claim can be made with a straight face

What a dumbass take on it. It's hilarious that you characterize Trump's tweets as "mean". The clown is so hypersensitive and thin skinned, he gets his feelings hurt over the least bit of criticism or perceived disloyalty. You totally ignore his behavior for some reason. Inexplicable? That's laughable. It's mind blowing the ignorance oozing from your post

Methane release due to thawing Arctic tundra is the newest factor in ozone and other layer thinning.

I have yet to see any proof of man made global warming.

One proof you may be overlooking. Smog (and that doesn't mean a small hog). We've improved in the USA in that regard, but China and other emerging nations in a hurry to become industrialized, and recognized as modern, and important, are rapidly doing what we did to smog up our air, and raise temperatures.
