It already has been disproven. Snowballs were presented on the Senate floor and it’s cold outside today.
Typical Trump and Republicans: They turn around an analogy to illogically defend their ignorant ways.
Those that deny human caused climate change are like those who insisted the earth was flat…even after North America and the western hemisphere was discovered by the Spanish and Dutch explorers.
He later added, “I’m saying people have gotten things wrong throughout the 5,500-year history of our planet.”
Sounds like job 1 is convincing him that the planet’s history is longer than 5,500 years.
This clown (seems) to suggest the Earth is only 5,500 years old.
The great pyramids of Egypt were built by the Chinese to fool Americans…Russia would never do such a thing.
Really how stupid are these people? As a child (and I am now pushing 70) I knew people influenced nature every day. One walk in the woods and you had changed something in the woods. One day of heating our house by burning wood or coal influenced the air we breathed and the space where those trees had been that we cut to burn. I can understand a discussion on the degree of change etc. but to say we do not influence all of nature including climate is just plain stupid!
The Bible says it, he believes it, that settles it
“‘Chris, there was an overwhelming science that the Earth was flat,’”
Except we have known the earth is round for longer than science, in the form of the scientific method, has been around, so no there was never any “science” that the earth was flat.
It’s cold outside today here. Republicans are unaware that there are other places on Earth and even other hemispheres where it might be warm right now.
They are dangerous.
The scientific consensus is that it cannot be measured with currently available technology.
5500 year history of our planet? If this guy believes that, he should be no where near anything that is science related.
There is absolutely no proof that the moon is not made of green cheese!
"there was an overwhelming science that the Earth was flat,”
And right there is why Cuomo ultimately failed completely. The belief that the Earth was flat and the belief in geocentrism were not established by science. This Trumpian dillhole’s entire analogy was as broken as analogies get and that was never pointed out.
So how do you find “common sense, non-ideological” solutions IF YOU DON’T EVEN FUCKING ADMIT THERE’S A PROBLEM???
Especially since the moon landing was a fake!!!1!1!!!one!!!1
Precisely, where did he come from ?
(Scaramucchi :“Trump’s goal is to get A++ people in the administration”, what part of Rich Perry did he not understand ?)
"“I’m saying people have gotten things wrong throughout the 5,500-year history of our planet.”
sigh…
Educated people (IIRC) knew the earth was round since the time of the ancient Greeks. The old Columbus stories they told boomers in school basically papered that over with a huge misconception. Geocentrism was disproven by the burgeoning scientific movement in the early modern period. It was held to by the Church, not by the European science community. And the ultimate idea, that knowledge advances, doesn’t somehow render unimportant any current scientific consensus you find inconvenient to your raping and pillaging.
Eratosthenes, 200 BC (the prime number guy) had a pretty good estimate of the earths radius …
