Climate Change Is Amazing.

Look who woke up today and decided he wanted to argue in circles for hours on end over what >90% means.

look who woke up today and decided to miss the point (again) and accuse me of wanting to argue about something I just said is meaningless. So dumb.

numbers are meaningless... right.

Chalk on a board is like scratching your fingers on a chalk board, no pun intended.

some of them are, like consensus particularly when it has nothing to do with the scientific method and is therefore proof of nothing.

A recent poll found that "climate change" is now the most politically polarized issue facing America today, with Democrats polled placing it 3rd among 29 issues facing the nation, and Republicans placing it 29th out of 29. link.

BUT, don't worry Republicans: unlike abortion, most of the Democratic candidates in the field take Big Oil money too, and are even more opposed to the Democratic candidates that don't than they are to the GOP. This will ensure regardless who wins, nothing will be done, bringing about the complete societal collapse even sooner. so that in ~50 years, the only humans alive will be the billionaires you love, & their families and rentinues, in fortified bunkers and plantations in the polar regions - the only places still cool enough to allow plant life to grow.

Societal collapse is far more likely to be the result of lax immigration policy, open borders and rampant migration than climate change. And they are so easy to fix. Imagine that.

makes sense. America has been a failed state it's entire history because Latin Americans can trickle over the border and pick strawberries and clean toilets here. right?

this is plain to see. totally logical. only a wall will stop it. they'll just bump up against it, and then go back home and die.

I think a massive nuclear war is what will do us in.

I think a massive nuclear war is what will do us in.

Yeah, me too.

I?ve always thought this was inevitable.

It might be climate change though now.

One or the other.

Do it legally and in a controlled way. That's all. Everyone is in favor of smart and legal immigration policy.

Sure "everyone"... except businesses and big farms that hire and profit off the use of immigrant labor, and the billionaires who siphon money out of those businesses.

Maybe nuclear war, brought about by a desperate struggle over dwindling resources due to climate change?

This exceptionally wet spring means the crops in the plains & midwest still aren't planted; 3 weeks and counting.

If that's the trend as predicted, food gets more and more expensive. And in countries that are already poor, that means people starve.

That plus all the illegal aliens coming north to pick strawberries and clean toilets.

The oceans are warmer + warmer temperatures = more evaporation. from my perch here, I've watched tons of clouds streaming north from the Gulf of Mexico. They hit the cooler air from the jet stream over Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, and pts further north and dump buckets of rain, spin up into tornadoes, etc.

Keep burnin' them fossil fuels boys! Pump more CO2 into the air, and the results are only logical at this point (Unless you don't believe in the basic laws of physics or chemistry)

It's a known fact when Americans see fresh strawberries and clean bathrooms, they just give up all hope, and society ceases to function.

we have been getting a lot of rain this spring. I'm in a golf league on Thursdays and it has rained 4 of the 5 weeks we have played...and it is supposed to rain tomorrow. I'd trade my car in for a Tesla if I thought it would stop it from raining on Thursdays.

The Jet stream continues to hover of MI keeping the warmer temps south, the planet has shifted, May showers bring June flowers.

I don't read web-based propaganda to arrive at my fact-based conclusions regarding climate change. I just go outside and live my life and bear witness to the impact (mild to this point) of change, including but not limited to massive, unprecedented tornadoes, hurricanes, temperature increase, polar ice cap melting off and ozone depletion. Bitch and whine all you want about the "topic," but there is no right or wrong opinion here and it's our kids and grandkids who will bear the burden of fixing what we and prior generations fucked up.

I'll let you know when I see the moisture supplying that rain stop flowing over my head up from the Gulf of Mexico... been going non-stop for a couple weeks now. It doesn't fall around here... just been hot (low 90's), humid, and cloudy.

Of course earlier this month we had plenty of rain ourselves... Had so much at once during the evening commute a few tuesdays ago that I got stranded less than a mile from my house, and had to (somewhat ironically) spend the night in a church, with dozens of other people.

Short of wading through waist deep floodwater (not doing that given the snakes, alligators, and risk of electrocution) it was physically impossible for me to get home.

Fortunately, I had the foresight to park the Champmobile up on an elevated median where it stayed dry, rather than trying to drive through a foot or more of floodwater, like lots of idiots here did. Dozens of cars, maybe even over 100 - many totalled - were all over the place the next day. took the city all day to clear them.

still too deep to make it home until after 730 AM the next morning. brutal night. "100 year" rainfalls take place every 2 years now.

took until the next evening for all the ponding on teh roads to drain
