Or maybe it's because they feel the risk in trying is better than risking their lives in the countries they come from...

Lol! Given the back and forth on many of the topics I post about, there's quite a bit of back and forth conversation. I think you've experienced a senior moment and have me confused with Davis...

After all, one just has to look at my reasoned responses, and compare them with the responses you've given, which are indicative of a person who has an overly fried egg as a brain substitute.  
 
Really, one doesn't even need to shake your head and your fried egg brain substitute becomes scrambled, all on its own.   

Since you're the one who PM's me with the same stuff you've already posted, it's quite evident who has scrambled eggs for brains..

Was there something you wanted to say, or is this just more of your ignorance whereby you post a headline and then disappear?  

Oh Itchy Richie, 
Is there some point for you in denying the facts cited in the link? Or are you just satisfied with regurgitating whatever it is you've think you've heard about "climate hysterics" from some right wing blog or other wingnut source you've read?

Funny how 40 years ago there were 131 Glaciers and today there are still 131......

Pay more taxes and we can fix Climate Change.....lol

"509 glaciers in ‘Third Pole’ disappeared in last 50 years"
"The rate at which the glaciers are melting has almost doubled since 2005"

"The four U.S. reference glaciers have shown an overall decline in mass balance since the 1950s and 1960s and an accelerated rate of decline in recent years (see Figure 2). Year-to-year trends vary, with some glaciers gaining mass in certain years (for example, Wolverine Glacier during the 1980s), but the measurements clearly indicate a loss of glacier mass over time."
"Trends for the  four U.S. reference glaciers are consistent with the retreat of glaciers observed throughout the western United States, Alaska, and other parts of the world.4,5 Observations of glaciers losing mass are also consistent with warming trends in U.S. and global temperatures during this time period (see the U.S. and Global Temperature indicator)."

"In a study published in 2017 scientists were able to combine information from satellite altimetry, gravimetry, and GPS to measure the ice balance in East Antarctica from 2003-2013 When looking at this data they were unable to confirm Zwally’s findings. This study concluded that gains in East Antarctica are smaller than losses in West Antarctica. In fact, the gains in East Antarctica were about a third of what Zwally’s study believed them to be."
"The graph below is from information in another study done in 2018 and it shows the change in the rates of ice sheet loss over the years. You can see that the line for East Antarctica did show a positive rate of change for much of the past few decades. However, it was not enough to offset the losses in West Antarctica and the Antarctic Peninsula. We can clearly see that when these numbers are put together the continent is losing a lot of ice every year. Furthermore, the rate of loss is getting worse as time goes by."
"When we look at all the available data the big picture becomes clear. Antarctica is losing far more ice than it’s gaining and the rates of loss are increasing as time goes on. In short, climate change is real and always has been."
"But the truth is that Zwally’s findings never contradicted climate change. The International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated in its report that a certain amount of sea level rise was due to the ice melting from Antarctica. Zwally’s finding didn’t dispute rising sea levels it just pointed out that the source may not be Antarctica."

What issue would that be?  

Go ahead and explain.

As far as the Global Warming (now called Climate Change) I don't have any doubt that the globe is warming a bit.

I've seen zero evidence that it is "Man caused" over "natural causation", so that's not "slavish devotion" to one side of an issue.

I just admitted that it is warming.  

It has warmed in the past.

I can look at data and see that the lies that the left promotes in an attempt to get the world to buckle under to their power grab, is simply that, a lie.  Tornadic activity is at a low for the past decade or so and the strength of said tornadoes throughout the nation, is on average is actually less than it has been in the past.  

There is no increase in intensity or in numbers of tornadoes reported each year in the US, so this business that the left is advancing, that Tornadoes are more powerful today on average or more prolific year by year, is a flat out lie.   That is an absolute fact.  

So in response to your assertion that I'm closed minded on the issue, I'll just challenge you explain how that purported closed-mindedness on my part, is indicated in my writings.

I can back up my assertions with facts and data.  They can't.
