that reaction makes this gold

>>13793513

>>13793529

Notice all voices are mature men mostly. No children. This is what's really creepy.

>janitor "cleans up" the thread

doin it for free at the speed of light

>>13793577

u u u u

Don't tell me you actually watch this crap.

>Pikachu could talk for all these years

>>13793535

Children dont care about pokemon anymore.

>>13793535

>implying there's anyone left playing pokemon aside from the genwunners who are now adults

>>13793606

They also all play pokemon go.

We should just gas all the autistic millennials that still care about this crap.

Why are there so many grown ass adults watching a kid's flick?

Well, I'd rather have them talk then the Pikachu and Caterpie scene

>>13793616

Indeed, it's pretty disgusting.

>>13793629

Fuck you

>>13793616

>>13793628

>Haha what nerds caring about videogames

You both realize that you are also both millennials right?

>>13793642

I'm 32.

>>13793629

I enjoyed the seasons all the way up to hoenn as a child, as well as the first 8 movies.

That said digimon always was cooler. Pokémon felt cheesy by comparison. I remember having a few vhs tapes with some really fucking dark digimon episodes on them and they seemed like the coolest shit ever, but I never really got to see it on TV because it was never on.

>>13793631

Fun fact. The Angela anaconda short is the only thing that kept Saban from releasing digimon the movie. The Canadians accidentally out Jewed the Jew. Under Canadian law. Saban would still pay Angela anaconda royalties. And fox no longer forking the bill.

>>13793644

32-year-olds are millennials, mate.

The Millennial generation started in the early 80's.

>>13793647

What did I miss?

>>13793647

I want to see the picture anon wanted to post. He put so much work in posting it too! C'mon janitor just leave it up for a few minutes.

>>13793647

>>13793643

>>13793638

Muh shitposting is free speech. Go back to 4cuck.

>>13793658

Except this is literally a shitposting thread anon.

Im more curius as to the types of adults in that crowd.

what the fuck is this from

>>13793661

was it NSFW?

>>13793642

Horrendously, cringe-inducingly awful television adaptations that never end and never feature character development, which exist for the sole purpose of cashing in on the small child logic that all objects part of a franchise must be equally good are not video games.

>>13793672

Holy fuck my brother and his freind are those types

lol that fucking feminine ass voice on a male pikachu

>>13793661

Moderation is just fine, you want to dump porn use /vp/. Time to read the rules, rapefugee.

>>13793678

Tbh every time it said its own name it used this voice

>>13793674

Ah, mods are fags as usual then

How disappointing.

someone link it offsite

>>13793672

>rugrats shirt

Oh fuck, what a smarmy looking cunt.

I bet they don't even have fans hard enough to make death threats.

>>13793700

>hard enough

I bet that all the greasy fuckers had a raging boner as Pikachu spoke.

>>13793530

pikachu: its because…. its because i always wanna be with you

meowth: OYY GAYY

>>13793535

>creepy

Hi SJW!

>>13793535

It could just be the parents.

>>13793720

Reported

>>13793726

Parents wouldn't know, let alone care, that Pikachu is not supposed to talk.

>>13793535

I actually cannot stop laughing because of this laud "what the fuck" from some dude that is clearly over 25.

This audience voices was some top 10 anime reveals this years.

>>13793728

>claims others are cuckchan

>he doesn't even know about the log

It's mark you huge huge cuck.

>>13793761

>>13793728

Also using the word janitor, like who are you trying to fool here?

>>13793725

>if you call an apple an apple then you are SJW

Come on anon, you know that those are some greasy autistic types in the audience.

>>13793720

if it actually worked this way, you would have NEETs and other chan-scum inhabiting the top of the rosters

>>13793784

>wahhhh how dare you don't betray your brothers

You're the type of person to go to a white pride rally and screech about whites.

>>13793787

I unironically support this nigger fetish being banned.

>>13793793

What the hell are you even talking about.

>>13793793

The fuck are you on about? It's a theater full of Pokemon fags. You really think there's anything but cancer there?

>>13793806

>>13793809

I know you're both playing dumb, but that anon dropped the C bomb and did damage control over it. Come on, it's obviously an SJW.

>people are throwing away (you)s like candy

Disappointing

>>13793592

He takes his job very seriously.

>>13793801

it's what I posted earlier anyway, sure seems like it caused more drama trying to shut it down. Dunno what crawled up Marks butt tonight. Perhaps the thicchu makes him feel funny.

>>13793816

>the /intl/ shitposter, as shown by >>13793689, is a (You)fag

It kills me how consistently right I am.

>>13793816

It is. Back in my day (You)'s were earned through hard-work and effort, hell I lived long enough to see the first (You) ever created.

>>13793815

>creepy is an SJW word

You're making shit up to try and sound cool. Creepy isn't the same as toxic or problematic. And he's right as well. That room is probably full of some of the creepiest degenerate manchildren and Pokemon's been shit since the 90's. Fuck off.

>>13793831

>You're making shit up to try and sound cool.

Then explain how my life was ruined. Because I know fully well it was destroyed by that word thanks to a bunch of SJWS. So if you have a better explanation, go right fucking ahead, traitor.

OH RIGHT YOU DON'T HAVE SHIT, BECAUSE I'M RIGHT.

>And he's right as well. That room is probably full of some of the creepiest degenerate manchildren

You'll hang with the rest, you man-hating garbage.

>>13793832

>>13793841

also, middle aged men tend to play it quite a bit.

>>13793844

Holy shit, calm down with the buzzwords.

>>13793651

That's funny, because in the 80s and 90s nobody fucking called anyone millennials and this seems an awful lot like bullshit to deflect criticism of the iPhone and Facebook generation by deliberately conflating two clearly distinct generations and pointing to the lack of similar criticisms which don't apply to one of them.

>>13793849

>being an uncalmfag

>being a kid

>being edgy

>being a nerd

>being a tryhard

>being a spammer

>being a cuckold

Oh, let's put this last nail in the coffin:

Calm down.

>>13793844

>my life was ruined because people called me creepy

Maybe that means you should jump on a treadmill and get your life together you fucking faggot. I bet the people you call sjw's are just trying to help and you're bitching about it on the one place people can't see your """creepy""" fucking face. Fuck off and stay mad.

>>13793863

The entire franchise is slow in the head tbh fam.

>>13793859

You have schizophrenia.

>>13793873

I miss the schizo anon who would post walls of words with some of the most incomprehensible shit, I still have some of his posts saved as copy pasta's to this day

>>13793867

Wanna play, you nerdy feelingsfag?

>I bet the people you call sjw's are just trying to help and you're bitching about it on the one place

Yes, I was trying to be helped by that fucking cunt who decided to chime in to call me that word, leading me to being ostracized from AN ENTIRE FUCKING CITY ALL BECAUSE I TRIED TO DEFEND MYSELF. She was TOTALLY trying to save me, yep. Not like you're a fucking liar and traitor.

Who the fuck am I kidding, I'm going to put it out there: Jessica, I'm going to kill you for this. You're a disgusting dyke and you just admitted to having shitty emotions by calling me mad. Lord have mercy on your soul when I'm done with you.

>>13793873

Not an argument.

>>13793882

This just might be him, keep reading.

>>13793890

On what? For the former, not particularly. Never tell your enemies what you're going to do, after all. Just do what you're going to do.

For the latter, well, come on. Just look at it, it's blatant ad hominem.

>>13793882

Yeah, that guy could brighten up any thread

>>13793893

Is this supposed to be funny or…?

>>13793901

Just read what I've already posted and pieced it together yourself. It's a short, yet destructive story. Gotta work harder for my dox, sweetcheeks.

>>13793911

Hi reddit

>>13793908

I don't know which one of you fuckers this is, but I don't really care. Just gotta burn the place down and you'll get your punishment.

>>13793899

What did you do to get called creepy? Why did they chase you out of town?

>>13793914

reddit social justice wankers frequently use "Fuck off" though.

Go drink some chawklit milk

>>13793923

>you can't say fuck off now because reddit uses it too

Might as well stop breathing

>>13793923

>redditors use the term fuck off

This is the point of no return. Either stopposting or subject yourself to anonymous humiliation and bullying. Either way this thread has been entertaining so do whichever you feel is more comfortable.

>>13793917

There are no enemies here. Just anons….

Besides, Jessica is to popular for 8chan isn't she?

>>13793939

Pokemon's been fucked since 2000 man. Manhy would argue it's been fucked since it's creation. If you're still invested in what's wrong with it you're nearly 2 decades late.

>>13793947

Anon's imaginary friend that bullied him out of town.

>>13793912

Anon pls.

You're saying that AN ENTIRE FUCKING CITY ostracized you because some bitch called you creepy.

I'm assuming that you are american, which wold mean that the average population of a city is over 20 000, which in turn means that thousands of people despise you because a woman they have never met and don't even know said something mean about you. I am simply having trouble imagining this scenario

>>13793949

BRRAAAAAAAAAP

So is 285ac4 the /fringe/ board owner? Sounds a lot like him.

>>13793975

Fuck off :^)

Sorry for the long-ass effortpost.

>>13793920

It was entirely unprovoked. I was talking with someone on, may Mark forgive me for uttering this word, Facebook. I was such a good goy back then, I'd cringe at my past self if it wasn't what my many enemies wanted me to do. Then I make a comment about how rarely we talk. Then in comes the wench I still need to kill, calling me creepy. From there, it all went downhill. Lost friends, I'm probably banned from a gathering, and my only brother-in-arms is now totally MIA. They probably killed the poor bastard.

As for being chased out of town? I probably used the wrong choice of words. It wasn't even my hometown. I still go there, but I have to hide my face in case I'm recognized.

>>13793941

>…

Don't do that, newfag. And I wouldn't be surprised if she WAS here. Fuckers like her love to manipulate their opposition from within.

>>13793955

>imaginary friend

God, I wish it was that simple.

>>13793960

You underestimate these factors:

>The fact she's a dyke, and therefore a manipulative whore who lives to sabotage men's welfare

>The fact that the city, and state while I'm at it, is pozzed to hell and back We're one of the states that replaced Columbus Day with Indigenous People's Day, to give you an idea

Again, sorry for the effortpost. I hate leaving people hanging.

>>13793975

Go to bed newfag

>>13793987

>I was such a good goy back then, I'd cringe at my past self if it wasn't what my many enemies wanted me to do

You should be cringing at your current self instead.

Fuck, that was long. Hey 767708, if you really want to know my lousy story, drop your >Discord or whatever the shit and I'll send a request. I'd rather not shit up the thread with my effortposts.

>>13793950

Nah' man, it's nostalgia that caused my reaction.

>>13793996

I'll die before I cringe at myself, you yiffing cocksock.

Before you ask, this doesn't count as an effortpost. :^)

>>13794000 (checked)

Same sorta. I'm glad I never fell into the Pokemon trap that so many others did.

>>13793999

Nigga I don't use discord, but thanks for going through all the trouble to explain yourself. Ridiculous reason to get kicked out of a goddamn city but I'll take it.

>>13793860

Didn't really see it get big around here, but I imagine it'd get frustrating if you tried to talk about pokemon with them. Odds are they only barely remember gen 1, maybe 2.

>>13794017

Yeah, I honestly can't wait for the day I grow a pair and take an opportunity to slit her throat. Edgy? Yes. However, vengeance is the most liberating feeling and if you disagree, you have shit taste in emotions.

>>13794027

>oy vey goy! don't seek revenge against the people who ruined your life! just lie down and blame yourself while watching some of our anti-male propaganda! yes, abandon your brothers!

Whatever you say, pal.

>>13794049

What, you want a livestream or something? Don't tempt me :^)

>>13794011

(checked)

I only watched the anime, and traded one or two cards at school, never played the games up until Pokemon X when I got a 3DS.

>>13794033

I'm not telling you to not take revenge, you can behead them on livestream for all I care.

I'm just confused why one would get pissed to the point of murder because of some retarded facebook shit

>>13794011

I did and hard, played everything since I was a kid and got my Pokemon Blue cart up to BW2 but already quit it (thankfully)

>>13794085

It ruined my life, my dude. If you don't get that by now, well no offense, but you probably never will. Pardon the cop-out, but we're probably never going to see eye-to-eye here. Sorry.

>>13793851

>That's funny, because in the 80s and 90s nobody fucking called anyone millennials

Two reasons.

One is because "generations" are poorly defined social concepts that heavily depend on cultural and political climates which vary greatly from country to country. For example, in Canada they claim Gen Z started in the 90's while in Japan they say it started in the 2000's.

The second is because millennials would have been very young in the 80's and 90's. Technically generation after Gen Z is already alive but nobody talks about them because at oldest, they're still only 5 or so years old.

>>13793669

Has that guy not been killed yet? Man /k/ needs to step up their game

>>13794113

No, why?

>>13794113

Dragon Maidfag is not the same as SchizoAnon 2.0 clearly

>>13793987

How exactly did you defend yourself?

>>13794136

Simple. I grilled the shit out of her. It's no different from self-defense, you know?

>>13794149

>oy vey, give your shekels to a man who will get you thrown in a padded cell, goy!

Thanks, but no thanks. Nice same time post though.

>>13794149

Now I want to see mentally ill posters posting.

>>13794062

>never played the games up until Pokemon X

Did you play any of the older ones? Gen 2 and 3 in particular are really good gen 1 a shit

>>13794149

He hasn't showed up since at least a month.

>>13794160

>not liking how hilarious broken all the mechanics are

Sure, the quality of life changes were welcome in the later gens, but don't tell me it wasn't at least a LITTLE fun to break it.

>>13794148

So you publicly insulted her?

Can you give us an example of what you said?

>>13794152

I am just saying that clearly something isn't right with your brain.

Do you disagree with that?

>>13794179

>Can you give us an example of what you said?

I'd rather not give you ammo to track my posts down with, buddy.

>I am just saying that clearly something isn't right with your brain.

Ever play an Ace Attorney game? There's a saying that's said a lot in it: "Turn your thinking around."

So let's turn our thinking around. What if it's not OUR brains that are wrong, but the non-creeps' brains that are wrong? Food for thought, do enjoy.

>>13794149

>Is Dragonmaidfag still posting on /v/?

He'll probably appear in an anime/game thread if you call anime a cartoon.

>>13793672

the unholy spawn of /co/ and /v/ is every bit as hideous as you'd expect

>>13793648

What the fuck? How on earth was that stupid shit that directly died to the movie? Also I remember there was a thread recently, not sure if it was /v/ or /pol/ but it pointed out the blatant Jewishness responsible for that abortion of a show.

>>13794194

>I'd rather not give you ammo to track my posts down with, buddy.

You said yourself that Jessica or one of her friends is likely browsing this thread, so they know who you are.

So how does that matter? You can certainly paraphrase or change a few things, just give us a feel. We're trying to understand.

>What if it's not OUR brains that are wrong, but the non-creeps' brains that are wrong?

Are you saying you anticipated getting an entire city to hate and ban you, to the point that you have to cover your face when you visit there?

Or are you saying they were wrong to hate you after you insulted Jessica, and that your claim that you'll murder is reasonable?

>>13794228

>So how does that matter?

Because everyone else DOESN'T know who I am. And sure, they could just drop my dox at any time, but what if they were playing the long con, to make me look like a stark, raving mad lunatic? Well, more so than usual. Point is, you have to think of every scenario in a battle.

>Or are you saying they were wrong to hate you after you insulted Jessica, and that your claim that you'll murder is reasonable?

That's correct.

>>13794217

The Canadian animation industry is a one big welfare program for artists. They get leaf government kick backs as well federal legal protections that Japanese and American animators don’t have

>>13794250

I'm just having trouble seeing why some random Canadian short would be so heavily legally bound to the Digimon movie that it would get royalties for the movie being released without the short anywhere near it.

>>13793818

>he does it for free

Fun fact: pica means dick in Portuguese.

>>13794217

It was Saban's decision as far as I know, the English dubs for Digimon are for abysmally bad.

They also decided to merge 3 different movies into one, which is "the Digimon movie" and its basically one hot fucking mess.

Not sure how exactly the discussion went, but they thought it was a good idea.

Afterwards somebody got fired over this mess.

>>13794262

Wait, so you are telling me Mark doesn't get any financial compensation for this?

>>13794264

Yeah it's been getting posted all over the place, which is bringing a lot of salt and keks. At least he spoilered it unlike the post on /pol/.

>>13793844

SJWs also use words like blue and red. That doesn't make them SJW words you bloody poof.

>>13794286

False equivalence. Blue and red aren't damaging words.

>>13794272

Maybe he gets paid in cakes.

That wasn't in the English dub was it? I don't remember that at all.

>>13793851

>I don't how generations get named

>I want to generalise entire generations but I don't want to get associated with Facebook generation

You'd think learning you were a millennial would open your eyes to thinking 'hey, maybe blaming an entire generation is a retarded oversimplification because people can do the same to me' - instead you go with doublethink. Good job faggot.

Daily reminder that Gen X were born in the 80s, millenials were born in the 90s, and the shit lord Gen was born in the 2000s. If jewgle could get way it they would say millenials were born in the 70s!

>>13793851

>That's funny, because in the 80s and 90s nobody fucking called anyone millennials

That's because generational names are usually retrospective, you fucktard

<Come back a few hours later

Wow, where did all of the posts go?

>>13794941

I believe it has more to do with the target audience. A child can suspend disbelief that pokemon can have a mental connection so strong is can turn into understanding speech briefly. Pikachu was even doing its "pika pika" thing just before it.

I dont know what people are expecting from a fucking pokemon movie. Its about caturing maguc animals in little balls. Its magic, have fun with it.

>>13794890

> trying to find out how the song in that scene is called for a year

I didnt even know the webm was a digimon thing at first and it only took me like 10 minutes to find it.

To be frank it's not a bad idea. Only risk is the kid being ostracized by their peers for not liking modern TV and liking "weird old shit".

You should share that list some time.

>>13793642

<Nerds.

"I'm so nerdy XD" people don't count as actual nerds, anon. Those are just normals who somehow became so obsessed with being a consumer whore that they have trapped themselves in delusional fantasy harder than actual nerds. It's absolutely disgusting.

>>13795053

>Only risk is the kid being ostracized by their peers for not liking modern TV and liking "weird old shit".

That's the beauty of it, no one really watches television anymore and most of it is just old shit from the 2000s. The media server is on a private network so I can stream my shit throughout my apartment but off of the top of my head:

>Age 0-6

>Bozo the Clown, That one old anime about the koalas from space, Eureaka's castle, Early Sesame street, Mr. Rogers, a lot of Hanna barbara cartoons

>Age 7-12

>Most cartoon network shows during their "Cartoon Cartoon!" era, a lot of 80s action shows like Centurions and G.I. joe

>Age 12+

>bad goy sitcoms like Early Drew carry before the faggot brother, Classic Whose line, get lax and let him get away with watching the full server full of real bad goy shit

>16+

>required season one of married with children

>>13795058

To be fair, you are comparing Pokemon (a show that had nearly as much brand clout as Disney or Looney Tunes), to generic moeblob/shonen anime #301375.

I will admit, nowadays even the "big" anime titles get a bad budget and bad people working on it. But nothing has been a mainstream success like Pokemon was. Not even "giants" like Naruto or Dragon Ball Z when they were in their prime. Even though you've got figures, that doesn't make the same money as a kid wanting merch (toys, games, lunchboxes, clothes - lots of cheap things to make).

Simply put- unless it's hot with the kids, they're not gonna put a Hollywood budget into a show enjoyed by a hyper-critical audience that doesn't spend as much in merchandise. The net profit isn't worth the risk if it does flop.

How was that "Your Name" anime movie dub? Never saw it, but it was marketed like crazy.

>>13795078

What about the internet? Most kids use it, and watch Jewtube stuff.

>>13793535

How's that any different to people who use this board of video games? What's your point?

>>13795084

>Never saw it, but it was marketed like crazy.

Where I live in the U.S., the last "big name" anime that was marketed like crazy was Ponyo and Arrietty, with Wolf Children receiving a small bit of attention as well.

>>13795094

>be an edgy shitposter in private

Don't pretend there isn't a difference between these two, I bet you don't discuss the games you like openly with normalfaggots

>>13795107

>I bet you don't discuss the games you like openly with normalfaggots

I tried that recently. I was playing F-Zero for GBA the guy asked me what I was playing, told him what it was, and then proceeded to tell me how the Xbox 360 (With the usual list) was the peak of gaming. I have normalfag tastes for some shit (Halo 2 is one of my all-time favorite games) and even I know that's way off the marker.

So … how is Pikachu a male?

>>13795132

What do you mean?

>>13795068

Holy shit isnt that supposed to be a kids show?!

Thats pretty wicked anyways, but I would have been legitimately spooked watching that as a kid.

>>13795132

You can tell a pikachus sex by its tail, pikachu has a flat ended tail, female pikachus have a curvy ended tail. The pokemon games added that in gen 2 or 3 i think.

>>13795154

>The pokemon games added that in gen 2 or 3 i think.

Gen 4 was the one that started adding random gender differences.

>>13795154

>The pokemon games added that in gen 2 or 3 i think.

Gen 4, but it was basically dropped from gen 6 onwards (note how alolan raichu and the megas lack the differences)

>>13795181

Gen 6 had Meowstics which have different male and female appearances.

>>13795190

There's no objective cure for overcoming relativism now that that's been achieved by the mind except for forcing yourself to believe otherwise. (And yes, I do hate relativism).

It's kind of like the scientific and inquisitive thought bred by Christianity evolved so much so that it undermined its own pillars and religion. Same thing with relativism. There's no cure.

Actually, I've just realized why this doesn't work (more than just Ash's VA not being the old one in a movie about nostalgia pandering).

Pikachu- an animal for the sake of it- through magic powers or Ash's concussion speaks perfect english, with an accent (albeit a moeblob accent), and despite it being knocked the shit out of, speaks with no hindrance or pain in it's voice.

To make matters worse, it speaks a bit before it says the "tear-jerker" line. Meaning it's a 1-2 (where everyone still reacting with him speaking english) instead of one massive wallop ("Oh god he spoke and he said something sweet!")

I said it earlier, but I think Pikachu's Jap VA speaking in broken english might have worked better (sort of like Stitch from Disney). Plus since Pikachu kinda says "bigga" at times, you can throw people off.

To be honest, I think Steam Marketplace kickstarted the trend of lootboxes.

>Scientism is made by jews

Why would the jews promote objective facts anon? You say you are for being objective but you are against literally the only known way of finding an objective answer to things.

>Openly admits he rejects evolution because of the bible

So the big twist was that you were the jewish puppet all along.

>Evolutionary science is unscientific

Nigger, I do research in evolution. I literally see evolution on a daily/weekly basis.

>>13798848

Scientism and science are not the same thing. Science is a valuable tool for learning about the natural world. Scientism is the philosophical stance (usually taken by people who don't understand philosophy) that science holds the answer even to things beyond its ability to study.

>Christianity is a jewish trick

Anon, this is one of (((their))) most potent D&C tactics. Jews hate Christianity and will do everything in their power to destroy it. The reason they are called kikes is because when they were immigrating to America through Ellis Island they refused to sign the documents with an X because it looked too much like a cross; therefore they signed with a circle instead, which is "kikel" in yiddish. There may be a number of kiked (((preachers))) who teach Zionism, but authentic Christianity is fundamentally opposed to the jews. Jesus himself harshly criticized jewish practices, and the jews are still doing the same things today.

>I literally see evolution on a daily/weekly basis

Oh, fascinating! Tell me about the wealth of new, fundamentally different species you've seen. If you're just going to talk about foxes/dogs/wolves though, don't bother.

>I can't understand how many changes can add up

Are you serious nigger?

Not even counting the fossil record which literally shows that, the fact that there are small changes mean that over time those changes would add up. It would be like saying

>I haven't seen a baby become a full grown man so it doesn't matter that I can measure his growth I don't believe this baby will ever become an adult

Sage for off topic but you can literally learn about this stuff yourself.

>>13799059

it's a slow process. genetically human beings have existed for some two hundred thousand years, and we've only really been paying attention for some small fraction of that.

>>13799089

What makes you think I haven't studied this? The "fossil record" isn't useful as evidence. Yes, we have many fossils of different creatures, but even if you have fossils of two different creatures that are similar, there's no way to prove that creature A evolved into creature B. This is the circular reasoning at play here:

>Creature A must have evolved into Creature B because evolution is true!

>Evolution must be true because we have similar fossils from Creature A and Creature B!

Not to mention the enormous gaps in the "evolutionary chain".

>false equivalency about babies turning into adults

Anon, the key difference here is that this is a process that has been witnessed over and over and over, and doesn't require the creature to mutate into !creature. Evolution from one fundamental type of creature to another has never been witnessed. What makes you so convinced that these changes will eventually "add up" and transform it into something else entirely? Have you heard of regression toward the mean?

>>13799097

See, the idea that humans and the Earth itself are ancient was not only conceived of before any dating methods existed, but the dating methods now used are extremely flawed at best and outright lies at worst. Carbon dating relies on several fatal assumptions, most importantly that the amount of Carbon-14 in a sample didn't change for any reason except radioactive decay. The "layers" method of dating is downright circular: they date the fossils by the layer they're found in, but they date the layer by the fossils that are found in it. Not only that, but it's not uncommon for a fossil or artifact to be found in the 'wrong' layer at which point they simply give it an arbitrary date that better fits the existing theories.

>>13799256

>evidence has to be visually provable

I'm sorry the entire field of chemistry and quantum mechanics is now wrong according to you.

>>13799256

>What makes you convinced that changes will eventually add up

Because they do. Changes add up and thats known and provable and you can see it. For some reason you think that just because you can't live long enough to see more changes that somehow all changes will just stop. Also the "Gaps" in the fossil record is a non argument. It's also not circular argument because we know evolution happens, again we can see it, the fossil record shows the evolution for things we weren't alive to witness our selves. I really can't understand how this isn't basic logic to you?

>It is a process that has been witnessed

So is evolution. For some reason you think it evolution just stops when you stop looking at it. We know it happens, we can see it happen all the time and we can conclude that it has and will continue to happen with evolution being shown in fossils to show that it has happened in the past but we don't even need that since it's proven without it, all fossils do is show how it happened.

>>13799256

the timeline of modern humans isn't based purely on carbondating methods, but a number of things including location, morphology, tools found, etc.

if you're going to just start rejecting any science that doesn't agree with your ideas, you're no longer talking sense.

>>13799313

>implying

Nice straw man.

>>13799338

Small changes within a type of creature are proven; flowers turning into !flowers or bacteria turning into !bacteria isn't proven. It is a faulty leap of logic to assume that because there are some changes over time it will eventually morph into an entirely different type of creature. Of course they will continue to change even when we're not watching, but all we know for sure is that they will change within their type; the flower will better adapt itself to its environment while remaining a flower, and same with the bacteria. To conclude anything more than that is not sound logic.

>>13799377

You'll note that I didn't only criticize carbon dating methods. In reality there are no reliable dating methods. At best we can make educated guesses. I am 100% an advocate of science; what I am not an advocate of is propaganda masquerading as science. See: (((global warming))). If I thought evolutionary theory was scientifically sound I would believe it.

>>13799338

>It's also not circular argument because we know evolution happens, again we can see it, the fossil record shows the evolution for things we weren't alive to witness our selves.

You do know that every single ancient culture on record as talked about how they lived alongside dinosaurs, right? The Bible has the leviathan and the behemoth, the Chinese and the English have their dragons, the American-Indians habe the thunderbird, and so on.

To rerepost something GG dug up (This is a long one, strap in):

1) Demonstrate “climate change” is real.

No problem there! There is plenty of geological evidence that the Earth has been much warmer for most of its existence. The Jurassic period, for example, was quite a bit warmer than today. In fact, there have only been a few colder times in Earth’s history compared to today. And ‘climate’, in the strictest sense, changes daily.

2) Demonstrate that “climate change” is manmade.

This is tougher, since we already know for a fact that the Earth has been through far warmer periods before man ever showed up. Indeed, evidence is mounting that an increase in CO2 is causing less extreme weather, not more.

3) Demonstrate that any changes, regardless of origin, happening now are man-reversible.

Good luck with that.

4) Demonstrate that they can be reversed, primarily, by crippling the American economy in particular, while nations like China and India continue polluting the planet at record rates.

And that’s where you lose your audience.

~:~

Yes, climate changes. But there is absolutely no evidence that humans are having any impact on the climate whatsoever. In order to establish an actual human impact in a statistically significant way, you must show a modern trend that deviates from a baseline of appropriate duration. Because geologic processes spanning millions of years are responsible for tremendous amounts of variation in global temperatures, an appropriate baseline must necessarily include millions of years of data to account for this variation. Not only are we not in a period of “record high temperatures,” we are in one of the coldest periods in the past 65 million years.

http://i.imgur.com/kcQnmYF.png

There is absolutely no evidence that current temperatures are outside the trend of totally natural variation, and all attempts to make it appear that way are misleading you by truncating the data to a sample of statistically insignificant size. And then they apply their misleading, exponential curve-fits and smoothing effects for dramatic purposes. The earth had had ice caps for maybe about half of the time over the past 500 million years. The picture shows rapid periods of melting and re-glaciation over periods of a few thousand years. There is nothing abnormal about current melting rates.

http://i.imgur.com/NfSDp1Y.png

The sea level has been rising at a very steady and predictable rate over the past 8-10,000 years since the emergence from the last major glacial period with no deviation at all from this trend even as humans began industrializing. When environmentalists show you graphs going back 50-100 years of rising sea level data, they omit the fact that this is both on-trend and completely expected.

http://i.imgur.com/JzjDP5v.png

We have no actual data that indicates that climate is in any way behaving abnormally, much less due to human impact. The only thing we have is a hypothesis that CO2 affects climate in a meaningful way, which is what climatologists attempt to model. But those models make terrible predictions.

http://i.imgur.com/uVtD4Ch.png

>>13799494

If your hypothesis consistently churns out inaccurate predictions–no matter how many times you tweak the knobs and change little fudge-factors here and there–then your hypothesis is shit and must be discarded. Morons who believe in this garbage have no understanding of basic epistemology, let alone science–and that goes for the so-called “scientists” peddling this mystical bullshit.

CO2 is only hypothesized to have the impact on global climate that the alarmists claim. But this has failed to be demonstrated in two major (but related) ways. First, carbon dioxide levels are currently being measured at several hundred ppm higher than measured from ice core samples. Now, it must also be cautioned that you can’t necessarily compare these two sets of data because they represent two different methods of measurement, and have other potential biases. However, even assuming that its true that CO2 levels are much higher–and that they’re caused by human activity–current temperatures are not deviating from the normal historical trends in line with CO2.

A doubling of preindustrial CO2, absent any feedbacks, would result in a maximum forcing of +1.2 ºC. Everyone agrees on this point because it’s a simple computation given the physical characteristics of CO2 which is well mixed in the atmosphere. Actual warming, again absent feedbacks, would likely be much less due to bandwidth overlap between CO2 and H2O, something that we understand but find difficult to model (H2O levels vary dramatically day to day and even hour to hour with regional weather).

http://i.imgur.com/3JzLrS4.jpg

The General Circulation Models, and the IPCC, predict 2-8 ºC of warming because AGW theory assumes a positive H2O feedback. They assume that if CO2 causes a little warming, the atmosphere will hold more water vapor which will lead to a lot of warming until a new equilibrium point is reached. The warming predictions cover such a large range because everyone assumes a different average feedback rate. Again, modeling H2O in the atmosphere is extremely difficult because it varies so much with weather. Every GCM based on this assumption has failed to model temperatures for the past 15 years. They are all trending too high. In the late 1990s, the modelers themselves stated that if they missed their predictions for more then a decade that would falsify AGW theory.

There is no data to suggest a positive H2O feedback either now or in Earth’s past. Indeed, we cannot model some periods in Earth’s history with an assumed positive H2O feedback. It would appear that Earth’s atmosphere is remarkably adept at dampening forcings from either direction and does not amplify them. If there is no positive H2O feedback, we literally have nothing to worry about. The average climate change believer knows none of this. Politicians, citizens, activists, and surprisingly even a lot of scientists are literally ignorant of the theory and the math. In their mind, it’s simply “CO2 = bad” and “experts say we’re warming faster then ever.” The more you know.

http://i.imgur.com/AJXwGoj.png

Not only are current temperatures not outside the normal trend, we are in one of the coldest periods in the past 65 million years. Also, current temperatures (at the peak of the current 100ky cycle) are actually lower than past 100ky cycles, meaning that we are expected to either warm further just by way of natural variation or we are in an unusually cold peak period.

Second, climate models that use CO2 as a major driver for global temperatures are not producing accurate predictions for global temperatures. This is at least good initial evidence that the alarmist stance on the CO2/climate hypothesis is false. Notice that current temperatures are in no way deviating from normal trends. and that the two “scary red dots” are not observed data, but “predictions.” But, as we already know, the observed data is wildly lower than the predictions. These people are completely full of shit.

>>13799497

When glaciers recede, it’s called “calving”, and it is considered a normal process of climate. Sea levels have been declining recently. (search NOAA’s database to verify for yourself)

During the last ice age, sea levels were ~375 feet lower than today. During the last ice age, the Jersey Shore was 100 miles further east.

Ice ages return like clockwork throughout Earth’s history. It’s called the Milankovitch cycle. What are signs that an ice age is starting? Simple; it’s a mark of weather “extremes.” It’s important to note that during last ice age, temperatures around the global weren’t too much colder then they are today. Example:

1) Seattle was covered with 4000 feet of ice, however ice only went as far south as Olympia. If you went 150 miles south of Olympia, temperatures were 7 degrees lower then they are today.

2) Temperatures in the tropics were 2 to 3 degrees lower then today.

3) Temperatures in the subtropics were nearly the same.

4) Chicago was covered in ice, however South Carolina was probably only 2-3 degrees lower than today.

Yellowstone is a supervolcano that erupts every ~600,000 years. The last eruption was ~640,000 years ago. We are overdue for one. If Yellowstone goes off, we would be in an ice age in 3 months.

One of the signs of an oncoming ice age was increased volcanic activity. In the previous ice age, called the “Younger Dryas,” we found mammoths with 3 feet of volcanic ash on them. 40% of all mammals where wiped out in that Ice Age. If volcanic activity keeps increasing on Earth, that is a warning sign an ice age is imminent. Interesting Note: Some mammoths remains were found still standing up. The conclusion was that giant snow/ice storms covered them up.

It takes 100 feet of snow to compact to create 1 foot of ice. It would take 80 feet of snow per year for 5000 years to get 400 feet of ice in Seattle.

Snowblitz is a term for the continuous accumulation of snow, which happens in ice age conditions. https://answersingenesis.org/answers/books/frozen-in-time/the-snowblitz/ ~11,500 years ago, something happened which caused the ‘Carolina Bay’ and magnetic reversal: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carolina_Bay

In 1600, the “Maunder Minimum” happened when there weren’t any sunspots. Sunspots affect the amount of radiant energy hitting Earth. Less energy means the climate gets cold. The Maunder Minimum resulted in a little ice age across the globe. Dr. Habibullo Abdussamatov–the chief astrophysics responsible for the Russian portion of the International Space Station–says we are heading for a little ice age.

In the 1980s and ’90s, the Sun was the most active in a thousand years. Now the Sun is becoming less active. Does it take thousands of years for ice ages to start? No. Research project “GRIP” (Greenland Ice Project) drilled ice cores (2 miles down, 4 inches in diameter). They discovered that every single ice age from the past 250,000 years, without exception, began in less then twenty years. Ice ages swing from normal temperatures to full blown glaciation.

Literally what determines a flower and bacteria are our own definition. If for some reason we decided to consider something no longer a flower than it wouldn't be.

>There are no reliable dating methods

This is objectively false. Radioactive dating is so easy high school students literally learn how to do it.

>Every single ancient culture on record talked about living alongside dinosaurs right

That never happened, stop reading your stupid christ centered news sites.

In the end literally what you don't understand is that small changes over time = big changes. If I were to randomly change parts of a lego sculpture I built it would eventually be a completely new sculpture.

Congress May Probe Leaked Global Warming E-mails

A few days after leaked e-mail messages appeared on the Internet, the US Congress may probe whether prominent scientists who are advocates of global warming theories misrepresented the truth about climate change.

Senator James Inhofe, an Oklahoma Republican, said on Monday the leaked correspondence suggested researchers “cooked the science to make this thing look as if the science was settled, when all the time of course we knew it was not.” According to a transcript of a radio interview posted on his website, Aides for Representative Darrell Issa, a California Republican, are also looking into the disclosure.

The leaked documents come from the Climatic Research Unit of the University of East Anglia in eastern England. In global warming circles, the CRU wields outsize influence: it claims the world’s largest temperature data set, and its work and mathematical models were incorporated into the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s 2007 report. That report, in turn, is what the Environmental Protection Agency acknowledged it “relies on most heavily” when concluding that CO2 emissions endanger public health and should be regulated.

Last week’s leaked e-mails range from innocuous to embarrassing and, critics believe, scandalous. They show that some of the field’s most prominent scientists were so wedded to theories of manmade global warming that they ridiculed dissenters who asked for copies of their data (“have to respond to more crap criticisms from the idiots”), cheered the deaths of skeptical journalists, and plotted how to keep researchers who reached different conclusions from publishing in peer-reviewed journals.

One e-mail message, apparently from CRU director Phil Jones, references the UK’s Freedom of Information Act when asking another researcher to delete correspondence that might be disclosed in response to public records law: “Can you delete any e-mails you may have had with Keith re AR4? Keith will do likewise.”

Another, also apparently from Jones: global warming skeptics “have been after the CRU station data for years. If they ever hear there is a Freedom of Information Act now in the UK, I think I’ll delete the file rather than send to anyone.” (Jones was a contributing author to the chapter of the UN’s IPCC report titled Detection of Climate Change and Attribution of Causes.)

In addition to e-mail messages, the roughly 3,600 leaked documents posted on sites including Wikileaks.org and EastAngliaEmails.com include computer code and a description of how an unfortunate programmer named “Harry”–possibly the CRU’s Ian “Harry” Harris–was tasked with resuscitating and updating a key temperature database that proved to be “problematic.” Some excerpts from what appear to be his notes, emphasis added.

I am seriously worried that our flagship gridded data product is produced by Delaunay triangulation - apparently linear as well. As far as I can see, this renders the station counts totally meaningless. It also means that we cannot say exactly how the gridded data is arrived at from a statistical perspective–since we’re using an off-the-shelf product that isn’t documented sufficiently to say that. Why this wasn’t coded up in Fortran I don’t know–time pressures, perhaps? Was too much effort expended on homogenization that there wasn’t enough time to write a gridding procedure? Of course, it’s too late for me to fix it, too. Meh.

I am very sorry to report that the rest of the databases seem to be in nearly as poor a state as Australia was. There are hundreds if not thousands of pairs of dummy stations, one with no WMO and one with, usually overlapping and with the same station name and very similar coordinates. I know it could be old and new stations, but why such large overlaps if that’s the case? Aarrggghhh! There truly is no end in sight… So, we can have a proper result, but only by including a load of garbage!

One thing that’s unsettling is that many of the assigned WMO codes for Canadian stations do not return any hits with a web search. Usually the country’s met office, or at least the Weather Underground, show up–but for these stations, nothing at all. Makes me wonder if these are long-discontinued, or were even invented somewhere other than Canada!

Knowing how long it takes to debug this suite–the experiment endeth here. The option (like all the anomdtb options) is totally undocumented so we’ll never know what we lost. 22. Right, time to stop pussyfooting around the niceties of Tim’s labyrinthine software suites–let’s have a go at producing CRU TS 3.o! since failing to do that will be the definitive failure of the entire project.

Ulp! I am seriously close to giving up, again. The history of this is so complex that I can’t get far enough into it before by head hurts and I have to stop. Each parameter has a tortuous history of manual and semi-automated interventions that I simply cannot just go back to early versions and run the update prog. I could be throwing away all kinds of corrections - to lat/lons, to WMOs (yes!), and more. So what the hell can I do about all these duplicate stations?

As the leaked messages, and especially the HARRY READ_ME.txt file, found their way around technical circles, two things happened: first, programmers unaffiliated with East Anglia started taking a close look at the quality of the CRU’s code, and second, they began to feel sympathetic for anyone who had to spend three years (including working weekends) trying to make sense of code that appeared to be undocumented and buggy, while representing the core of CRU’s climate model.

One programmer highlighted the error of relying on computer code that, if it generates an error message, continues as if nothing untoward ever occurred. Another debugged the code by pointing out why the output of a calculation that should always generate a positive number was incorrectly generating a negative one. A third concluded: “I feel for this guy. He’s obviously spent years trying to get data from undocumented and completely messy sources.”

Programmer-written comments inserted into CRU’s Fortran code have drawn fire as well. The file briffa_sep98_d.pro says: “Apply a VERY ARTIFICIAL correction for decline!!” and “APPLY ARTIFICIAL CORRECTION.” Another, quantify_tsdcal.pro, says: “Low pass filtering at century and longer time scales never gets rid of the trend–so eventually I start to scale down the 120-yr low pass time series to mimic the effect of removing/adding longer time scales!”

It’s not clear how the files were leaked. One theory says that a malicious hacker slipped into East Anglia’s network and snatched thousands of documents. Another says that the files had already been assembled in response to a Freedom of Information request and, immediately after it was denied, a whistleblower decided to disclose them. (Lending credence to that theory is the fact that no personal e-mail messages unrelated to climate change appear to have been leaked.)

For its part, the University of East Anglia has posted a statement calling the disclosure “mischievous” and saying it is aiding the police in an investigation.

The statement also quotes Jones, CRU’s director, explaining his November 1999 e-mail, which said: “I’ve just completed Mike’s Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) and from 1961 for Keith’s to hide the decline.” Jones said that the word trick was used “colloquially as in a clever thing to do” and that it “is ludicrous to suggest that it refers to anything untoward.”

>>13799504

Second part meant for >>13799494

Who is literally retarded.

>>13799514

Also unclear is the ultimate impact of the leak, which came before next month’s Copenhagen summit and Democratic plans for cap and trade legislation.

On one hand, over at RealClimate.org, Gavin Schmidt, a modeler for the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, has been downplaying the leak. Schmidt wrote: “There is no evidence of any worldwide conspiracy, no mention of George Soros nefariously funding climate research… no admission that global warming is a hoax, no evidence of the falsifying of data, and no ‘marching orders’ from our socialist/communist/vegetarian overlords.”

On the other, groups like the free-market Competitive Enterprise Institute, the target of repeated derision in the leaked e-mails, have said: “We have argued for many years that much of the scientific case for global warming alarmism was weak and some of it was phony. It now looks like a lot of it may be phony.”

ScienceMag.org published an article noting that deleting e-mail messages to hide them from a FOI request is a crime in the United Kingdom. George Monbiot, a UK activist and journalist who previously called for dramatic action to deal with global warming, wrote: “It’s no use pretending that this isn’t a major blow. The emails extracted by a hacker from the climatic research unit at the University of East Anglia could scarcely be more damaging.”

Complicating matters for congressional Republicans who’d like to hold hearings is that East Anglia, of course, is a UK university. The GOP may intend to press the Obama administration for details on how the EPA came to rely on the CRU’s predictions, and whether the recent disclosure will change the agency’s position. Another approach lies in e-mail messages discussing grants from the US Commerce Department’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to East Anglia; one says: “We need to show some left to cover the costs of the trip Roger didn’t make and also the fees/equipment/computer money we haven’t spent otherwise NOAA will be suspicious.”

The irony of this situation is that most of us expect science to be conducted in the open, without unpublished secret data, hidden agendas, and computer programs of dubious reliability. East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit might have avoided this snafu by publicly disclosing as much as possible at every step of the way.

Land “readings” are [diverging](http://i.imgur.com/8RwdDFT.png) from satellite data (which [NASA itself says is accurate](http://i.imgur.com/OISZ078.png) and should be the standard instead) because over 40% of land “readings” are estimates made for places *without recording equipment.* To illustratively do something that the psychopaths love to do, I’ll cherrypick the last 20 years to show that there has [been no warming there](http://i.imgur.com/S4Kgh4k.gif), despite CO2 continuing to rise. Even using [just the satellite record](http://i.imgur.com/IF42Uf2.gif), the world isn’t warming. If we refer back to one of the hottest years in recorded history, [we see the difference.](http://i.imgur.com/4HWcKSz.gif) Never mind that there have [only been ecological benefits to rising CO2](http://www.edsanders.com/global/c02up2.htm).

>“Waaaaa! What about the ice caps!”

They’re not melting. They go through [cycles](http://i.imgur.com/px9Zr2X.jpg). 1974 had [less ice](http://i.imgur.com/ShRXILK.png) than today. Oh, and don’t listen to what [scientists](http://i.imgur.com/kMGh1nT.gif) say, [whatever you do](http://i.imgur.com/14m2Ix8.gif). Nowhere is melting out of turn, not even Greenland (where it has been [growing](http://beta.dmi.dk/en/groenland/maalinger/greenland-ice-sheet-surface-mass-budget/) for something like 30 years). Oh, and the ice cores themselves? [They show that the past was hotter.](https://www.ipcc.ch/ipccreports/far/wg_I/ipcc_far_wg_I_chapter_07.pdf)

>“But the sea level is rising!”

It has been rising for 13,000 years. In that time, it has never risen more slowly than right now. Were our ancestors belching out CO2 faster than we were? Maybe they were farting a lot more. It’s rising more slowly than at any time in that history, and it’s also rising more slowly than [any claim](http://i.imgur.com/bNUCnvg.gif) made public by any outlet. [Here’s the source data](ftp://ftp.marine.csiro.au/pub/legresy/church_white_gmsl_2011_tg_list.zip) for that chart. It’s an FTP link, so it should automatically download the raw file (which you don’t need to worry about, as it’s a bunch of undifferentiated numbers). Turns out that [NOAA](http://i.imgur.com/H1JISaD.gif) marks the average as 0.63 mm per year. Not 3.3. Not 2.8. Certainly not a foot per year, which is needed for the most modern public “predictions” about this bullshit.

>“But ocean acidity!”

Guess what? [It’s also cyclical.](http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0272771410002167)

>“Okay, not ice caps, but what about the glaciers?”

[They’ve been melting since at least the 1780s](http://i.imgur.com/UGMfILq.gif) when we started measuring them. I also have information for the Alps and other areas. Was our pre-industrial civilization responsible for “greenhouse gases” too? (There were no glaciers in Europe in the Middle Ages.](http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/94383187) That’s called the Medieval Warm Period, something your “scientists” have been trying to erase from the record for decades (ironically, since, 1984) because it goes against their narrative. Gee, we must have had even more factories then than we do now… right?

>“But but but but but but but but muh consensus! They agree! Because I say they do! That makes what they say true!”

>“Then why don’t climate change deniers publish papers?”

[Because they do](http://www.populartechnology.net/2009/10/peer-reviewed-papers-supporting.html) (and because [papers often aren’t published](http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs12129-009-9149-z) because the publishing groups are owned by AGW liars).

>”So what the hell is this all about?”

*[None of the data](http://i.imgur.com/Yyx254S.gif)* *supports the existence of AGW.*

>“WAA! IT’S ONLY UNITED STATES TEMPERATURES!”

Because there is no other record of meaningful scientific value anywhere. Only the United States (and parts of Japan) has [a temperature record that has been around long enough](https://realclimatescience.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/McKitrickCriticalGHCNReview.pdf) for climatological statements can be based on it. The GHCND set of stations has slowly been closed down… and what’s this! The stations being closed down ARE FAR FROM THE EQUATOR. What does that mean? The average latitude of GHCND stations IS [FIFTEEN FUCKING DEGREES](http://i.imgur.com/yvuGBwi.gif) CLOSER TO THE EQUATOR than it used to be. Do you imagine that might raise temperatures? If you answer no, don’t bother answering in the first place.

The United States has a network of [1200+ USHCN stations](http://i.imgur.com/lX30V8X.gif) with data going back to 1895 and earlier. The raw USHCN temperature record shows that there has been a slight cooling since 1920 (see above). USHCN is a subset of GHCND (Global Historical Climatology Network Daily.) Cooling doesn’t suit the needs of your masters, so [they cherrypicked a small subset of GHCND stations](http://i.imgur.com/zUywF21.gif) (which show a large amount of warming since 1920) for use in the global GSN temperature record.

So let’s stop this madness, right? What happens when we take data from [SCIENTIFICALLY SOUND SOURCES?](http://i.imgur.com/WxjeGtP.gif) That is, 1. stations active for a long time and 2. stations that don’t move (meaning keeping the same latitude). We see what I said above. [NO. FUCKING. WARMING.](http://i.imgur.com/sk2JZuI.gif)

At the very best (for your delusions), you (meaning your own authorities) can say that [there has been zero change since modern recordings began.](https://www.ipcc.ch/ipccreports/sar/wg_I/ipcc_sar_wg_I_full_report.pdf) Your bastard king himself, James Hansen, [ADMITTED TO THIS.](https://www.giss.nasa.gov/research/briefs/hansen_07/)

The Earth has gone through periods of ice ages, naturally there will be periods complete opposite of such. That it is trending hotter at a particular moment isn't a convincing argument.

>>13799525

>"WAAAAAA THE DOCUMENT ENDS IN 1995!"

And yet there has been [zero](http://www.woodfortrees.org/plot/rss/from:1990) warming [SINCE THEN](http://i.imgur.com/0N7BEg4.gif), too, so you don’t have a leg to stand on.

Funny how sea level is identical to 1870 and 1901, huh? ([La Jolla](http://i.imgur.com/Gkw4yCG.gif) and [La Jolla](http://i.imgur.com/M1D5yMu.jpg); [Sydney](http://i.imgur.com/beYZsdR.gif) and [Sydney](http://i.imgur.com/ecilgkv.gif), respectively)? Funny how [all the gauges](https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/sltrends/mslGlobalTrendsTable.htm) show [a 0.63mm/yr rise](http://i.imgur.com/TS4MYXU.gif) (which, again, is smaller than at any time in the last 11,000 years). Not 3.3. Not 2.6. Not 1.4. Certainly not “a meter by 2050.”

>“But weather is becoming more extreme!”

Nah, less. Universally. What’s more, do you imagine? Not [fires](https://www.fs.fed.us/research/sustain/criteria-indicators/indicators/indicator-316.php). [Ha](http://i.imgur.com/hrnfDBC.jpg)! Not [floods](https://water.usgs.gov/floods/events/2015/Joaquin/HolmesQA.html).

>USGS research has shown no linkage between flooding (either increases or decreases) and the increase in greenhouse gases. Essentially, from USGS long-term streamgage data for sites across the country with no regulation or other changes to the watershed that could influence the streamflow, the data shows no systematic increases in flooding through time.

Not [tornadoes](http://www.spc.noaa.gov/wcm/). Five (nearly six now) consecutive [years](http://i.imgur.com/cYdfjJP.png) of below average events. Not [hurricanes](http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/hurdat/All_U.S._Hurricanes.html). Every [single](http://i.imgur.com/MeTkQa8.png) indicator [shows](http://i.imgur.com/jdS93uF.png) they’re not only becoming [less frequent](http://i.imgur.com/0TCxneE.png), but also less powerful. Not even [drought](http://www.mercurynews.com/2014/01/30/graphic-californias-droughts-in-the-past-1200-years/). [Hilarious](http://i.imgur.com/Xuq8mo6.gif)! So what is it? What’s worse? Tell us. Is it anything at all? Anywhere? At any time? No. Of course, [this has been](http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/1298497) known for [a while](http://i.imgur.com/0Vahnon.gif).

>>13799528

And that's it.

>>13799531

You could have just posted Webms of the Flintstones and it would have been just as convincing of Dino/human living together.

>>13799548

Nigger, you are replying to someone who literally believes humans and Dinosaurs lived side by side a few thousand years ago. Do you honestly believe you can say anything that will convince him about the matters of science?

>>13799504

This is a perfect example of how silly relativism is. Even were we to stop calling a flower a flower, the plant that we now call a flower would still have the same properties. Calling it something else doesn't change what it is. To quote Shakespeare,

>A rose by any other name would smell as sweet

Radiometric dating relies on assuming how much radioactive material was in the sample to begin with, something that you literally cannot know with certainty. Scientists regularly throw out the dates provided by such methods because they don't fit the "established" timeline.

>small changes over time = big changes

Not if those small changes are routinely discarded. Even according to evolutionary theory, most mutations don't stick because they're not beneficial. You are making an assumption.

>>13799555

Why do you find this so absurd, anon? I'll tell you why. It's a conditioned response. We are taught evolutionary theory and a prehistoric dinosaur extinction by the (((school system))) from early childhood onwards. There is nothing innately illogical or incomprehensible about humans and dinosaurs having lived at the same time; you just can't accept it because you have been taught the opposite for your entire life.

>>13799548

I think you missed the fact that the beginning of the copypasta is quoting the (((global warming))) propagandists and is not that anon's personal opinion. Beyond that, he is completely correct. The predictions ((((global warming alarmists))) have been making have been wrong for literally decades. They even renamed the issue (((climate change))) because they were so demonstrably wrong, not that it kept them from agitating for less CO2 emissions. The supposed consensus among climatologists is an enormous lie, and if you look up their actual conclusions most will say that they can't conclude anything about the origins of climate change because there are too many variables.

Phew. I did actually want to play some vidya this evening, so I probably won't respond as much anymore. Good chatting with you anons.

>>13799594

>Throw out the dates because they don't fit

No they don't.

>Calling it something else doesn't change what it is

You don't get it. If a flower changed then you would call it a flower still because that is the closest thing you know to it. If you never saw a dog before you would just call it a Wolf. The fact that evolution happens slow to the point where you can't witness huge changes in no way disproves it.

>Not if those small changes are discarded

But they aren't.

>Most changes don't stick

Actually most do, it's specifically the ones that are harmful that don't. most mutations aren't helpful are harmful. Learn what genetic Drift it. Even if it were true that most were discarded (again they aren't) that wouldn't mean anything because most does not equal all.

>Why do you call it absurd to think that humans and Dinos lived together

Basic logic and understanding of the world. You are literally worse than Flat earthers if you think the earth is only a few thousand years old. We have trees and tree remains that are older than how long Fundie tards think the earth is old. I can literally use ring dating (a different type of dating that even a child should be understand) to prove that the earth is at least 100k years old.
