Editor,

The Jan. 3 article about Half Moon Bay sea level rise is absolutely ridiculous. Five feet of sea level rise? The only thing that needs addressing is erosion. The rest is just fear mongering.

How appropriate, - that the most science challenged questions the scientists! It’s like a student flunking math, questioning the math teacher! Don’t you read anything about what’s happening, like icebergs melting on both poles and in northern countries, while warm water fish find their way into previously cold waters? Fear mongering? What Wild nonsense!

Ask Miss Google about the difference between climate and weather. That might enlighten you. Perhaps.

Jorg – I hate to break it to you but three million years ago temperatures and CO2 levels were higher, yet there were no humans driving cars, no plastic, no air conditioning and no aerosols, so obviously the Earth will do what the Earth will do, regardless of man. Maybe you could weigh in on the carbon emissions due to 30,000+ people flying into Scotland for COP26 - an estimated 400 aircraft and over 50 private jets. What about the 100+ container ships hanging out off the coast of Los Angeles, idling away? And CA forest fires due to mismanagement of forests? Seems like greenies conveniently forget all the issues where greenies contribute to so-called global warming in a lame attempt to convince folks there actually is such a thing as global warming.

Terence,

C'mon man. Quit spreading your lies. Your golden idol's hero, MTG, told you a year ago that the CA fires were the result of the Jews using space lasers to burn the forest!!

Taffy - none of the facts that Terence stated are lies. Did you wait a minute before your pushed the Send button? Your reply makes no sense at all.

Dirk,

Sorry, I should have left off the s. I was only speaking about the forest fires, not the planes and ships etc. Mismanagement may contribute to the intensity of the fires but the direct cause is the Jewish space laser. Marjorie Taylor Greene said it was and she is an idol of Trump and Trump is Terence's golden idol and we all know that if Trump endorses someone, they must be right. 🤣

The climate has been changing for eons before fossil fuels due to the natural effect of the Sun on Earth’s cloud cover. This was shown to be the case in experiments at CERN by physicists that confirmed Danish scientist Henrik Svensmark's theory that the Sun was mostly the cause of climate change due to it’s effects on cloud cover. CEREN caution its scientist at the time not to talk about the results of their experiment due to it "political sensitivity". Records show that the Sun's maximum and minimum cycles correlate with warming and cooling periods on earth. The Little Ice Age that ended in 1850 occurred during three solar minimums. The Little Ice Age caused the starvation of hundreds of thousands of people in Europe. There have been 11 warming and cooling periods in the past 10,000 years since a 2 mile thick ice sheet melted on North America. None were caused by man made warming. Cold weather kills more people that warm weather. The earth is at its lowest temperature in 50 mil years because CO2 is at its lowerst levels in 50 ml years. Greenpeace founder Michael Moore said that CO2 fell to dangerously low levels during the Ice Age and it’s better that CO2 levels have risen to to safer levels for plant growth.
