Is the green bit supposed to be under water in that map Scoot?

Can you point out the bit that says it is a prediction for 2014?

Or were you being just a little bit gullible?

Did you actually remember it yourself, or do you merely believe every idiotic claim that comes across your facebook feed?

We all remember al gores map of florida , completely under water by 2014.

Hi there freediver. Do you think the claim that we might be facing a 6 m sea level rise was idiotic.

Do you just believe every idiotic claim

Do you think the ACT saying they are not using fossil fuels is idiotic.

Do you just believe every idiotic claim.

You are welcome to your truth.
As I say we live in a post truth world.
If the elites claiming sea level will rise _6metres helps them monetise climate change and make more cash by scaring stupid people, more power to them.
They are within their rights to rip off the useful idiots Wink

I'm not seeing a question mark here, dear. Are you making this claim?

I'd suggest it's a little idiotic to say the ACT said that.

Some would call it a lie.

You?

I want to point out the gullibility of clime 'sceptics'. Hence the thread title: the gullibility of climate 'sceptics'

And yet you haven't backed up your assertions with proof. Cool

He's right, FD. To date, you have not proven the gullibility of climate "sceptics".

The only thing proven in this thread is their willingness to deceive, back up their claims with lies, and run off.

What powered the pumped hydro stations prior to fossil fuels Lee?

How big was it? And how was it powered? Was it boiler driven? Boiler pumps have been around for centuries, fossil fuelled centrifugal pumps only since the early 1900's.

I present to you, this thread.

Which carries more of your assertions than known facts. See above. Wink

I am asking you Lee.

Yes Lee. Pumped Hydro is a type of battery. Welcome to the 21st century. Actually we had them early in the last century, to deal with the fact that coal fired power stations are not sufficiently dispatchable to match demand patterns.

Nope. we had them early in the last century but they were overtaken by fossil fuels. They were better at it. We didn't run out of water. Wink

They couldn't meet demand. And they don't now, they are a battery type, but they still only provide back up. Wink

People who can't distinguish between etymology and entomology bug me in ways I cannot put into words.

And when you're done with that, what powered the hand cars?

I can't give a definitive answer. Perhaps you can tell us how the slaves carried it up the hill in buckets. Grin

But boilers burned wood to create steam, as well as coal. Wood is not a fossil fuel, but a precursor to fossil fuel. Wink

But it's a 'kinda' battery, like pumped hydro. Wink

And it is ENTIRELY solar-powered.

Scoot, do you still believe that the map shows Florida completely underwater by 2014?

The only idiotic claims I see here come from you and the other climate "sceptics".

6metres which is a figure gore used in the movie would certainly see the entirety of miami and Manhattan under water.

A smart move.

It helped monetize the grift.

Many useless idiots brought into the bullshit Wink

I see. So you're finally admitting Al Gore never made a prediction of Florida being under water by 2014, are you?

That's a start. I do feel we're getting somewhere.

Now, can you post us the map you remember?

You may care to post us a YouTube clip of an Inconvenient Truth with your reference.

Cheers.

No, we'll stick with your claim, thanks.

If you can't post your evidence, you'll need to admit you lied.

That's what we'd do, as you know all too well.

Say it.

And wait.
