Yes, and the SPPI was supported by Exxon Mobil. I'm not sure why that was confusing to you.

Ah yes, the group financially supported by Exxon Mobil. Of course they wouldn't lie to you, would they... LOL

Bodies of water drying up all over the world is not fictional. Receding glaciers are not fictional. Arctic and Antarctic ice melting is not fictional. Massive and numerous forest fires beyond historical normal levels are not fictional. Rising sea levels are not fictional. These are all very real events.

If you told someone that you would be able to complete a project by 9:00 AM Thursday morning, but you didn't get it finished until 10:15, would that mean you were lying, or would that mean it just took longer than you initially anticipated? The problem is not fictional and ignoring it won't make it go away.

I put my faith in Jesus, thank you.

Christian nationalism replaces the worship of Jesus with the worship of political power. Christian nationalism is accepting Satan’s temptation of Jesus, when he showed him all the kingdoms of the world and said “all this I will give you if you will bow down and worship me.” - Benjamin Cremer

Would "the world" telling is about the behavior of gravity make it untrue?

What evidence would you use to claim that climate change is NOT anthropogenic?

Christianity should sound like, "my beliefs continue to deepen my love for others," not "the depth of my love for others is contingent on how deeply they conform to my beliefs." - Benjamin Cremer

I'm also somewhat skeptical of what can be accurately predicted through computer modeling. However, I don't think we as Christians are pushing enough for our government leaders to care for the earth as God tells us to do in Genesis.

I completely believe - without having seen anything to prove it - that both AOC and Al Gore have made some pretty ridiculous claims. Al has been around long enough to be disproven. AOC - not quite yet, but give her a few years.

I'm still waiting for support for the "IPCC predicted that Florida would be underwater today" claim - or a retraction. It seems like a solid prediction that neither will be provided.

Get back to me after you've read/heard everything I've ever said. I'm not doing your homework for you.

To put it very simply, if someone makes a surprising claim, they should provide evidence for the claim. This really isn't difficult.

This isn't "fetch the stick" it is called "providing evidence for your claim". I could say that Donald Trump claims to be the dumbest man alive. If challenged, I could simply reply "Have you read everything Donald Trump has ever said? Get back to me after you do that." But that would be a really bad way to conduct myself on a forum. If I say that Donald Trump claims to be the dumbest man alive, I would have to provide evidence that he said that for anyone to believe me. I hope this helps, because you seem to be very confused about the proper way to support a claim.

If you want people to believe it when you make a strong statement like "Al Gore and the IPCC said that Florida should be underwater by now", it would make sense to provide evidence to support those claims. Rather than supporting your claims, you imply that people should instead read everything Al Gore and the IPCC ever wrote and/or said. That is a bass-ackwards way to try to support a point.

I don't understand why I need to read the entirety of the IPCC publications for you to back up your claim, but that's ok. Not a big deal, anyway.

Maybe I'm just dumb, but I don't see anything about a prediction that Florida would be underwater.

So... we just need to be patient for a few million years for global warming to reverse itself again?

Of course I didn't look. You still haven't backed up your first claim. Why would I move on to the next?

If Al Gore's book/movie featured Florida going underwater, I sincerely doubt that was based on the IPCC. I still have seen nothing indicating that the IPCC predicted that Florida would be underwater by 2022. If you can't actually back it up, then it is only a rumor.

I get this, but I'm not certain that IPCC ever stated that Florida would be underwater in 2022. Do you have a source for this claim?

This is a quote from your reference. "Antarctica’s climate was once warm enough to sustain substantial vegetation including trees. How warm? Some estimates place it at 20 degrees warmer than present day. That temperature was determined after studies were conducted on sediment core samples that contained plant leaf wax. The samples were pulled from beneath the Ross Ice Shelf. According the data that the team gathered, 15-20 million years ago the Antarctic was a far warmer and wetter place than previously imagined. Temperatures have been estimated reaching as much as 45 degrees Fahrenheit and precipitation was several times higher than what the region currently experiences." I don't know about you, but I'm not certain human civilization will be here in the few million years it may take for the cycle to reduce temperature again.

Al Gore is certainly suspect. I don't remember the IPCC ever claiming that Florida should be under water.
