Calling it bullshit and then identifying the problem…really?
It definitely should not be a political vehicle. Climate isn’t really even up for debate anymore for anyone with half a brain, the evidence is there (I say this as someone who did deny climate change and then read hundreds of papers on the matter)… It’s a human problem that affects everyone. Most scientists realize that solving things in one country won’t really help unless everyone gets on board.
Look at the melt rates of the snows of kilimanjaro - “permanent” snows that have been there for thousands of years are going to be gone in the next 20.
You mean when the talking heads quoted that they didn’t actually understand what was written in the paper and the caveats (which every well written paper on every topic has)?
Sounds about right.
You do know those glaciers provide drinking water to a large number of people and the shrinking glaciers are already causing problems for the people that live there?
The obvious answer is: zero…unless we all use public transportation and electric vehicles.
Doesn’t matter how it’s spelled. All that matters is that I believe All of It. Still wear a clean N95 mask everyday, in my car, alone, on deserted dirt roads. Have at least two of each iteration of COVID vaccine. Know that Joe Biden received more votes than any other candidate for President ever.
That’s caused by too much water not remaining frozen?
Already did that; that’s why I’m so confused when people talk about climate change. I thought it stopped when I gave leader all of my money.
*On a serious note: I bet the same people who get mad at preachers for making a load of money donate to, or at least have no problem with, all this fight the climate change crap.
This is too dumb of a statement to respond too but I will.
The glaciers have receded so far already the annual water runoff from the melt cycle is no longer meeting the needs of the people. Really not that damn hard.
Man, I’m not asking for real solutions; I’m looking for ways to make people more miserable(cut food production, meat production, leave people stranded in dead cars in frigid temps, etc.).
Rapidly melting snow in parts of Alaska is causing erosion and carrying minerals, dirtying the water and harming salmon populations.
I’m not saying the earth will be dead in 10 years or that we need to follow whatever latest “save the earth” trend we’re told to, but it’s pretty obvious that these changes have negative impacts that can have real life effects on humans in the form of polluted water and decreased food levels.
I believe that science is the answer to mitigating whatever the future holds, but not “The Science” as it exists today. “The Science”, as explained by today’s political activists, involves significantly impoverishing the western world in very profound ways through heavy-handed authoritarian tactics that skyrocket the cost of daily life.
This is not how you set up the conditions for a bunch of great scientists and engineers to emerge 30 years from now.
Cultivating more prosperity is how that occurs, not by adhering to a rigid ideology. The 20th century demonstrated the vast differences in scientific output between the prosperous west and the authoritarian east.
