Climate change?

[moparedtn]

Hell, I'm still waiting on the "coming ice age" the lab coats were promising us in the '70s....

But yeah...it's probably the campfires.

maybe if the tree huggers in california would just manage the forest, "climate change" wouldn't carelessly throw lit cigarette butts out the window

All my life it’s been these dire scenarios going to ruin life as we know it.

When these proponents of climate change and global warming or whatever they want to label it next start following their own advice, then it may carry the weight it deserves. Many of these people have a bad habit of mandating what others should do or not do, yet are found out to be frauds and hypocrites doing exactly those things. Inevitable Armageddon predictions from expert models seem to roll out at timed intervals or wait for events to happen which keep the masses on edge.
Not many fleeing those islands off Massachusetts due to the rising ocean I suspect.
Maybe one day someone will develop those seeds you plant in your garden window and up spouts an edible key board or cell phone.

average summer here temperature wise, but humid as balls for the past 2 months......... the storm the other night ushered in some beautiful low humidity cooling......... A/C off, windows open....... the climate finally changed, and it is wonderful!

Ever see smog?

Ever read about DDT?

Ever live where they tell you not to eat the local seafood cause of all the sewage in the water?

Ever read about a species we humans caused the extinction of?

These are effects dude...

If there's ONE thing in life you should have confidence in is the ability of humans to **** stuff up...

Ever live in a place that has such severe air pollution that you can see it?

Ever live somewhere that has so many people that they can't provide drinking water for them?

Ever wonder why a contributor would also be a complainer?

When one considers that accurate measuring equipment only existed for about the last century or so, it's really
not fair to extrapolate what the history of such a thing as "climate" was for thousands of years prior, is it?

We don't need thermometer readings from the past when we have other records. For instance, places in Europe that used to cultivate vineyards and olives but it's presently too cold for them to thrive there.

To paraphrase the late George Carlin,
"The earth is going to shake us off like a bad case of fleas."

Yup and the earth aint going nowhere We are. Wonder what George would say about our sad state of affairs now??

These types of threads always go the same way, someone posts about climate change obviously referring to the rising temps, then when challenged resort to talking about pollution. Climate change and pollution are separate issues which some would like you to believe that one (pollution) affects the other (climate change).

The main thing I like about these threads is that they clearly identify people for whom I can put on my ignore list.

I would have to agree with the OP, kinda. Since the creation of earth it has been in a constant state of evolution and change. The plates in the earth's crust are moving all the time. Man will never be able to keep earth "as it is". We should all do our part to keep it clean, who wants to fish in dirty streams or hunt in trash filled fields. Earth is a living thing like all things that are alive it ages, changes, and evolves to something different. It won't be here forever it will have its own end of life. So yes more evidence of climate change is coming. It happens daily and has for billions of years.

Yes, humans can affect the current environment. I worked in the water pollution control industry for 40 years. We made outstanding improvements in the water quality in our US lakes, rivers, streams. the last 50 years. That is something that the current day mankind can effect. Climate not so sure. The rest of nature is so immense and powerful. Even the effects of atomic bombs have dissipated. Chernobol nuke plant, mostly dissipated. Many volcanic eruptions are uncontrollable but can impact the entire globe for many years.

Imagine that.

I'm seeing a distinct lack of scientific knowledge on this thread. "Ignore your own eyes and believe something that someone else told you to believe"

Obviously it's the topic of man made accelerated rising global temperatures. That is the topic of the 21st century when discussing "Climate change." And we are just witnessing the beginnings. What science, I believe is hiding? We are already past the point of no return. Meaning, we are going to lose the ice caps by end of this century. No matter how much CO reduction occurs. And that's actually the least of man's problems. We may need to evoke mediation efforts. And the obvious is solar deflection. (I'm guessing near the poles? But may not necessarily be the most effective.) We really only need to deflect a fraction of 1% as temporary measures to give the climate a chance to catch up with any greenhouse gas emissions reduction.

We have 1/3 the US population that believes its all a hoax. And/or even if it wasn't? Jesus will fix. Not considering that maybe Jesus is testing us to see if us dummies can fix what we broke? So I'm not confident that a global initiative and mediation efforts is even possible? We only seem come together when we are seriously kicked in the money or family sack. So maybe we do need to lose 1/2 the population first? I'm guessing that wouldn't bother mother nature in the least?

 

[cr8crshr]

The OP obviously has some sort of "agenda" to start this topic off as he did. So I have to ask...Why is no one talking about how the planet shifts constantly upon its axis much like a Dradel or Top??? It does this constantly as it spins through out the infinity of space. Subsequently, it just recently shifted upon its axis 4 degrees so the poles are now shifted. If that doesn't merit some serious consideration effecting climate change, then I don't know what will!!! Mankind is not the whole problem here. Yes a contributor to it but not the main cause as all those fear mongers suggest. They have been stoking this fire for countless years and quite frankly, rather ridiculous in their claims. Mother Nature is in charge and there isn't a damn thing we can do about trying to change her in any way. Live with it and get along as countless others have been doing so far for a very long time now...cr8crshr/Bill

Farmers almanac says it will be this winter.. Al Gore will finally be correct..

Like he always does?

 

[joe smith]

The one thing with Climate change I will agree with is if China and India are not addressed than NOTHING America does will make a difference..
And china is RIGHT NOW building almost a THOUSAND more coal plants...

If you have a building full of Diesel trucks running and you think your lone Prius will fix it, then you belong with Greta the nut job......

So OP, if you really are serious, get on over to China and fix it...

Corporate media is preaching this narrative. The Schuylkill river in Philly flooded areas that hadn’t been flooded in modern time. But the record flood stage still remains from the mid 1800’s.

maybe the horses farted with more vigor that year.

 

[gdrill]

I've heard that in order to have an ice age, you need the poles to melt so the liquid can be dispersed around the globe.

Maybe this is really the beginning of global cooling........

I do believe there was an ice age or two a while back.

 

[toolmanmike]

Ice age, shut off the sun for a decade or more. Asteroids or volcanoes. Just a theory. The earth has been peppered with asteroids. Did the extinction of the dinosaurs and the ice age happen shortly there after? I need to go back to High School. I must have been screwing with the girls when we studied that stuff.
