What makes you think you can predict climate change years in the future?

[KlausSchadenfreude]

If you can’t predict historic amounts of water a few months in
advance, what makes you think you can predict climate change years in
the future?

Earlier this year “experts” said it would take 50 years to build back
the water levels at lake Powell. They were off by 49 years.

That's experts for you, right enough.

Truth is we CAN predict climate change. It's unavoidable. It's like
predicting that the clock will strike midnight in 24 hours or less.

The problem is predicting HOW it's going to change.

Pretending there's some kind of constant, the planet is going to
warm. This is because we're running out of fossil fuels and
fossil fuels cool the planet.

Yeah, exactly the opposite of what the propaganda tells you.

Pollution, particles -- "Particulates" -- are objects. They're tiny
objects, minuscule objects but they are physical objects. And if
you pump Giga Tons of them into the atmosphere then, although
each one represents the tiniest of area, cumulatively they amount
to a large chunk of the sky being blocked -- shading the earth.

This cools the earth the exact same way that standing in the shade
cools you on a hot sunny day. The particulates are shading us.

EVEN WORSE than the particulates would be the sulfur. All our
fossil fuels contain sulfur -- coal being the biggest offender -- but
it exists in all of them.

NOT ALL OIL IS EQUAL. There are different grades of oil, each
with their own properties. Some have much higher sulfur content
than others...

Gasoline tends to be better than diesel fuel... a lot better.

Anyway, the sulfur converts to an aerosol in the atmosphere,
bouncing the sun's energy out into space. So, we literally get
less sunlight.

Recapping here: Fossil fuels REDUCE the amount of energy the
earth receives from the sun, because the sulfur content converts
to an aerosol and bounces energy back out into space, like a
mirror. At the same time the particulates given off as pollution,
though barely even perceptible on their own, cumulatively amount
to huge areas of blockages -- WE'RE SHADING THE PLANET!

Our fossil fuels are running out. When they do the planet has to
heat up.

Who is saying they can 'predict' everything about global warming
years into the future, dumbass?
