She posted bogus science and climate alarmists (as she is).
Are you going to repeat the same thing over and over hoping it will come true?
Are they going to keep predicting the end of the end world over and over again til it comes true?
Do you purposefully misunderstand words written to you, or do you do it involuntarily?
What of dummies guessing that this is real? I remember that the late 70's was an micro ice age. And lets talk about the real ice ages that ended w/o interjection of human activity. The willful ignorance is amazing...
And to perpetuate it is a crime.
Hi, different person here, genuine question as I've never seen someone who believes that before: can I ask, do you think the temperature rise from entering this interglacial period is correlated with the temperature increases we're seeing at the moment?
It's a fact the temperature is going up now, but if you're suggesting that it's because we're exiting another ice age, even a 'micro' one, what level of temperature increase would you expect to see, roughly? (Doesn't have to be a number, just some idea would be nice) Less than when we 'left' the not-micro iceage?
There are so many factor on why we are seeing a "blip" in temperature. Angle of the Earth to the sun, orbital distance from the sun, coupled w/ we have had natural events that have expelled millions of tons of CO2, and man made.
The point I make is none of these scientist know what the cause is. It all a hypothesis but we have to take it as fact. Would I love to live in a TRULY carbon neutral man made environment. But thats not remotely possible at this time.
No... We as the world population know that certain green house gases trap heat.
We KNOW for a fact that Methane, CO2 and other green house gases trap heat. It's not up for dispute.
When did I say CH4 or CO2 didnt trap heat?
Literally your last comment.
Also left off orbit and angle to the sun, but hey you know everything... But you want to go simple and blame to gasses but not look into other causes... Good job.
You realize the angle of our orbit is what causes our different seasons, right? Are you really claiming average temps are higher because it's summer?
What. Nowhere did I say that was the only reason.
The trapped heat has to come from somewhere.
Are you actually this dense?
What does that have to do with my last comment?
The report says that if we do not stop using fossil fuels over the next 5 years (note that the 5 years the time frame to stop using the fossil fuels), it would spell the end of humanity as we know it (this timeline is open, no date is set). It's a slow process mind you. First heatwaves (which we are seeing today) that make living along the equator impossible. You will notice this as a massive wave of immigration (much larger than any war has caused). Then rising food prices of course when agriculture is no longer viable in large parts of the world. Rising sea levels may not be noticabe in your part of the world (like the Nordics for example where the ground is also rising since after the last ice age) but people in the parts where it is a problem, will have to emigrate, further raising food prices and a more dense population where they immigrate.
I know thinking about long time spans is hard. Most can't imagine a time before or after their own lives. But I hope you can understand now why this is not a cliff but a slippery slope. Once we start gliding it might be almost impossible to stop it.
"The report says that if we do not stop using fossil fuels over the next 5 years (note that the 5 years the time frame to stop using the fossil fuels), it would spell the end of humanity"
Well if thats true its the end of the world and I feel fine.
Its BS, the Earth runs in cycles or we would have never had an Ice Age. Or El Nino, farmers almanacs, core sample that support the climate ebbs and flows.
Immigration has nothing to do with climate change, its people that want a better life. Its still hot here in the southern US and they still come. Good on them, we need people with that much grit in this country.
Agriculture has dropped off because it was done in area's that were suited for it for and lack of water supply (SoCal) and depleted the ground water to sustain it.
Sea rising is minimal and if it does flood the Hampton's it won't break my heart.
But the agenda wants you freaking out on something you cant change. Its like shoveling shit against the tide.
But that said I don't go out of my way to make it worse.
Now I know you're trolling. No one is this dumb.
I facepalmed when I got to "the climate ebbs and flows"
How can people like this be so sure of themselves?
It's like someone who's never learned to read telling you which books are good and bad.
Apparently it's a former reddit mod. It makes so much sense now.
Maybe he's an oil CEOs son trying to get a spot next to daddy
LOL yeah says the moron. GFY
