I am glad you're willing to educate yourself. I hope to give you at least a starting point and will try to address the points you made. 1) Regarding the correlations: The reason why you don't "see" the correlation (i.e.

Just to give some numbers: The Dutch greenhouse horticulture sector has emitted 6-8 megatons of CO2 per year between 2000-2015 and emissions are expected to decrease to ~4 megatons of CO2 per year in 2020 [1]. 7 megatons is approximately 4%

It was my mistake to link to the summary, I was actually referring to the full report in the comments before. As for your quote, it needs to be read in the context of the full paragraph. Its written sloppily, but a better phrasing would be:

The climate news needs to be looked at with extreme caution, I agree. Newspapers tend to spin scientific reports in a specific direction (both "alarmist" and "denyist"). However, in general the scientific literature is v

Thank you for expanding on your thoughts. I now understand what you mean, however, I do believe you are wrong. Look at source [3] above. Sea level rise is accelerating globally. The effects are different locally.

Very cool work. The paper is open access, the code is open on Github and he actively invites other researchers / interested laymen to participate in finding better materials. Terrific job of putting your money where your mouth is: &quo

Maybe I'm confused with what you're saying, please correct me where I misinterpret what you mean. On a global scale, the sea-level is rising [1] and the sea-level increase is itself increasing (i.e. accelerating). This can also be

See my sister post for link. The difference between ice and water is that water can freely move over the Earth's surface while massive icebergs cannot.

You need to read the report more closely. First, it describes only the Dutch sea level rise, not the global sea level. Second, the most important reason that the sea level rise is that "the Netherlands is located in one of the least

You are being downvoted because you are spreading lies and misinformation. No AGW nightmare scenarios have been spread for "hundreds of years" (except maybe a biblical end of times, which is not scientific) and the "global c

5G safety is a long story, but the tl;dr is that it's not something to worry about. I tried to explain this a while back in a long thread here on HN. I tried to cite many scientific articles with more details. Please refer to that if y

Well that is an option. Progressive income taxes are a good thing, I think. I also like VAT as a supplementary method. We disagree, I guess.

That's fair and you're entitled to that opinion. Maybe you can propose a solution by filling in the blank: I understand why it’s appropriate to tax [fill in blank] in order to fund emergency services.
