Climate Change

[JIBBBY]

Do you go out and measure the ocean Jibby? Can you post those charts for us?
What about the highest average temperatures since the 1800s. Is that just cyclical?
What would convince there was a problem? And if you say California underwater, we’ll it would be too late by then to fix

New York and Florida are sea level and they haven't gone under water yet. Shore lines haven't increased. Fact!

Oceans aren't rising. Polar caps aren't melting outside of the norm. I do think China is maybe messing with our weather systems if anything else though. Technology and weaponizing the weather is not out of consideration.

[goduke]

I'm so tired of all the climate change crap. It's called weather. Live and adapt to it.

The air is still clean where I live and the oceans aren't rising!

Her and our Secretary of Transportation would get along good.

Yep.

The Left is already all over controlling the population by normalizing the Trans and Alternative lifestyles.

Nothing compares to Trump telling his braindead supporters not to wear a mask or get vaxxed for effective population control. A million excess deaths due to his covid mismanagement.

[Hareeba!]

"In 1980, the average time between billion-dollar disasters was 82 days.

From 2018-22, the average time between these most extreme events, even controlled for inflation, was just 18 days."

Good to finally find a contributor here who doesn't regard it all as a hoax and who does care.

I'm sure he meant "unihabitable" within a century, though it will be virtually long before then for a very great number of people, animals and plants unless there's a massive turnaround in the way we continue to contribute to the problem.

Yeah, I definitely meant that to be "uninhabitable." Obvious enough from context, but still, whoops, my bad. Just made an edit to fix it

[DwightShrute]

Good post.
They call this "human caused climate change"....so if you had a problem like "bacteria cause deaths"...you use an antibiotic to kill the bacteria!

Humans are the problem, for that matter most of the problems.
Do you ever hear a politician or religious leader talk about the elephant in the room.......reduce population growth!

I am sure China is working on a new virus.

[Hareeba!]

It's really not at all hard to find the answers.

this after all is a place to share ideas once in awhile rather than just hurling insults and statistics. It's kinda funny how he's repeatedly claimed he's blocked posters because they refused to answer his questions.

My question still remains to anyone who is a far left activist like hareeballs and others. What should humanity do about it? Are you in favor of torching the sky like they are reporting recently in order block the sun's ray to cool the Earth? Do we go back to the horse and buggy? Ban all plastic and rubber products? Do we eat lab grown meat and bugs? Do you really believe electric cars are eco friendly? If so, what powers the charging stations and what happens to the old batteries?

I don't have the answers. I try and limit my carbon footprint when I can but I probably can do more. I bet all of us could. So its hotter. Ok fine. I like warmer much better than colder. There's tons of water in the oceans and desalinization plants work great. I live on an island. There are 2 plants here taking in sea water and turning it into some of the cleanest drinking water in the world. You don't need to buy plastic bottles of water but people still do. Speaking of, why aren't 7/11's equipped with filtered water stations where you can fill up your used water bottles for a fraction on the cost of a brand new bottle? Imagine filling up your old water bottle for 5 or 10 cents rather than $1 for a new one?

So when the earth starts cooling, will we go back to pushing for gasoline cars again?

[Hareeba!]

Nobody knows for sure how long we have, but considering that we're looking at the possible extinction of life on Earth as the worst case scenario, I'd say the government needs to err on the side of caution and look for/enact solutions ASAP

Based on what I've read from climate scientists who study this stuff for a living, there is a genuine threat of Earth becoming inhabitable within the next century or so, and that's messed up. Future generations deserve our best effort.

And personally, I live in Florida, almost every year there are more hurricane threats than the year before, climatologists attribute that to climate change, and I fully believe it. The planet is already feeling many of the effects of global warming, far beyond "hottest day ever", perhaps we've dodged a few bullets and are lucky that it hasn't already been worse

My personal opinion, yes humans impact the environment but we have decades if not centuries to rectify it. There will be technologies we can't yet imagine in the future that allow humans to survive man made or natural changes to the environment.

I find it telling he hasn't responded to your question. It's one thing to sound the alarm, but it's a whole other ball of wax to find and implement feasible solutions that stand a chance to actually have any meaningful impact.

[Foxx]

ok what's the solution if you were in charge?

so what's your solution? Carbon tax? No more using fossil fuel? No more eating meat?

4. Tuesday (17.18°C)
5. Monday (17.01°C)

The hottest I was in was Vegas at about 110F...yikes! Everyone walked in the shade of the hotel signs and bill boards.
My ice cold beer was warm in minutes after leaving the casino.
What's the hottest/coldest you guyz have endured?

Definitely the hottest place was Bangkok. I just flew in from New Zealand and Melbourne, Australia which were nice and warm, and as soon as those automatic doors at the Bangkok airport opened and I walked out, it was like stepping into an oven. The heat just punched me in the face. I remember thinking WTF NO fukking way people can live here. Luckily I seem to adapt pretty well to hot weather. I enjoyed Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar and Laos very much. I sweated the entire trip but got used to it almost immediately. AC is a must in the city but the islands there was always a nice breeze. When I went to Chiang Mae in the north, it was pretty cold at times.

In the Caribbean where I am now, its almost as hot but the trade winds make a huge difference. You can get away without ac when sleeping depending on where your bedroom is facing. If no window is facing northeast, then you certainly need ac to sleep.

Coldest place was in Toronto in the 90's around New Years.

The coldest extreme I ever endured was when I told my girlfriend that I thought her sister was very attractive

She asked me, but I didn't realize it was a trap at the time

That's a real trick question when you get genetics involved. Most sisters have probably been told before that they had a striking resemblance to their sibling, so if you said her sister wasn't attractive you might have gotten in trouble for that too

[blankoblanco]

so what's your solution? Carbon tax? No more using fossil fuel? No more eating meat?

I think the solution starts with continuing to focus renewable energy and governmental regulation that makes it standard as soon as possible. Minimizing or compensating for carbon emissions in the meantime. Can make a real difference

But I definitely believe this whole thing of putting it on the individual consumer to be "more environmentally responsible" has always been a bullshit approach. If I personally recycle and quit eating meat and buy an electric car, awesome, I'll have made a 0.000001% difference in our nation's carbon emissions. The answers always needed to come from the top and be sweeping and systemic, it was simply easier for them to be greedy and push a sense of environmental responsibility on the little people

On July 21st, 1983, Vostok Station experienced the coldest air temperature ever recorded on Earth, a bone-chilling -128.6 degrees Fahrenheit. This is cold enough to give you frostbite almost instantly, and it is incredibly unsafe to go outside, even covered in warm clothing.


Currently, the highest officially registered temperature is 56.7C (134F), recorded in California's Death Valley back in 1913. The hottest known temperature in Africa is 55C (131F), recorded in Kebili, Tunisia in 1931.2 hours ago

So you are just going to keep on ignoring all the evidence?
Just like you don't believe Biden won the election.
Just like you don't see Trump's guilt on so many fronts.

Just like you believe Trump colluded with Russia.
Just like you believe Trump incited violence
Just like you believe there was an insurrection on J6
Just like you believe the 51 former intelligence officials who said the Hunter laptop story was Russian disinformation.
Just like you believe Adam Schiff when he repeatedly lied saying he saw evidence of collusion with his own eyes
I can name at least 2 dozens other lies you choose to believe that aren't true.

So you are just going to keep on ignoring all the evidence?

[Hareeba!]

Brainwashed much.?

No. The Sun can influence Earth’s climate, but it isn’t responsible for the warming trend we’ve seen over recent decades. The Sun is a giver of life; it helps keep the planet warm enough for us to survive. We know subtle changes in Earth’s orbit around the Sun are responsible for the comings and goings of the ice ages.

weather.gov

Times of maximum sunspot activity are associated with a very slight increase in the energy output from the sun. Ultraviolet radiation increases dramatically during high sunspot activity, which can have a large effect on the Earth's atmosphere. The converse is true during minimum sunspot activity.

As time goes on, the amount of mass lost by the Sun will increase, particularly as it enters the giant phase of its life. But even at this relatively steady rate, the growth of helium in the Sun's core means that we will heat up here on planet Earth. After about 1-to-2 billion years, the Sun will be burning hot enough that Earth's oceans will boil away entirely, making liquid water impossible on the surface of our planet. As the Sun gets lighter and lighter, it will counterintuitively get hotter and hotter. Our planet has already used up approximately three-quarters of the time we have where Earth is habitable. As the Sun continues to lose mass, humanity and all life on Earth approaches its inevitable fate. Let's make these last billion-or-so years count.

Las Vegas did not hit 100 degrees until June 30th. Broke a standing record held since the 1940’s or something as such.. One can make a small case for either side of the argument.

But why should the Government force people to follow their elitist and greedy power grab.

And this is precisely why life on this planet is doomed.
