    Originally posted by Jiggaboo_Johnson You've got to be pretty re-re to believe global warming can be stopped or reversed at this point…China/India/Russia..and the US are NOT going to stop burning fossil fuels anytime in the next 50yrs.

    It is what it is at this point.

    All the carbon credits in the world isn't going to stop the enviable.

    The self destructive behavior starts on an individual level right up to the global population level.

    It's laughable to think people are going to effectively "overnight" change tens of thousands of years of behavior..it's not going to happen

    Originally posted by Jiggaboo_Johnson As for learning, lol. You'll learn in 10yrs that all the good intentions in the world isn't going to help with the run away climate change…it's too late.
  5. The future hasn't happened yet...so again, no it's not made much of an impact yet.

    Comprehension young niggra.

    Climate change is causing hurricanes to intensify faster than ever

    “Climate change is increasing both the maximum intensity that these storms can achieve, and the rate of intensification that can bring them to this maximum,” said Jim Kossin, a senior scientist at the Climate Service. “The intensification rates in Noru and Ian are good examples of very rapid intensification, and there have been many others recently.”
  7. No Hurricanes here in Texas this year...or even tropical storms of note...we usually get at least 1...fake news.

    Yes, the climate is dynamic, always has been. The problem is when nutty folk claim it's all due to humans.

    Like I keep saying, we are still coming out of an ice age.
  14. The lack of logic of assuming it's going to be "too late" in 10yrs to "save the world"

    Like I said before, the earth used to be a ball of molten rock, more than once...then it was a frozen waste, more than once...yet their logic assumes in a mere 10yrs...and after it taking 2000 years to go up 1c...the end will come!

    What the fuck chemicals are they putting in these kids fruity pebbles these days.

    They're completely and utterly brainwashed. They don't have the ability to comprehend a ploy for political purposes. They actually believe the government and all their paid off lackeys are totally sincere, honest, trustworthy, beyond reproach, and that they only have humanity's best interests at heart, completely ignoring the thousands of times the government has been proven beyond all doubt to have lied, cheated, stolen, defrauded, even murdered, to get its way.

    Rivers and reservoirs around the world are drying up this summer as record droughts rage on. Lake Mead along the Colorado, the largest reservoir in the nation, hit record lows. And experts fear the dreaded deadpool – where the reservoir can no longer provide water or hydropower to downstream communities – may only be a couple years away. The Yangtze river in China, the world’s 3rd largest by volume, got so low that Sichuan province experienced rolling blackouts as hydropower had to be severely rationed. And the Danube that runs through eastern Europe is currently at half its usual levels for this time of year.

    So what does all of this mean? In short, it means that, as global warming continues, we are going to continue seeing record droughts and many places are, simply, going to have to live with far less water. But, more specifically, it means we are going to need to innovate both how cities and agriculture do business. In this episode of Weathered we discuss how the vast majority of water is actually used in agriculture and how the greatest gains in water use efficiency will have to come from irrigation.
