...lots of extra energy has been pumped into our oceans and atmosphere over the years...

...I'm not up on the latest global warming but it seems to me the deniers owe us global warming believers a scientific explanation for our new climatic conditions...

...as I've tried to explain to my trumpkin friend:

...forget the 'Biblical begats' and accept the fact that the dinosaurs lived for hundreds of millions of years right here where we're standing today...these were huge land creatures with huge appetites...so, what did they eat?

...lots and lots of vegetation produced by a lot warmer more lush planet earth...and haven't we been burning old chunks of weed and dinosaur juice for the last 300 years?

...where did all that extra heat energy go?

...after he cleans his flood damage he says he'll still be voting for trump...

...masochist...
