Climate Change

[old goat]

Not just about more farmland. But also less deaths due to cold. Cold deaths exceed heat deaths atm.

Definitely a satire post.

Why is a changing climate always a bad thing? There is likely upside to a warming climate. Think of all the farmable land that will open up in Canada.

For one thing there are many living things that are not as adaptable as human beings and climate change will decimate their populations and probably cause many species to go extinct. Its pretty lame to just consider the effects if will have on humans.

Nothing is a one way street. The planet is resilient. The earth has been changing and adapting for billions of years. Volcanic eruptions have benefits after the destruction.

That's true, but there's a difference between us fucking up the planet versus the natural course of things over millions of years. The scary thing is how quickly the climate change is happening right now. I would hope we can all agree that human beings shouldn't be affecting the global climate if we can possibly avoid doing so.

It's time to stop arguing with this guy. Sounds like he's serious and clueless.

Probably right. I've got to say the two things deniers lean on that drive me nuts are: 1. the climate always changes, and 2. warmer temperatures could actually be a good thing.

The wet bulb deaths that are going to happen in places like the Indian subcontinent will be horrific and happening in our lifetime. The planet is indeed resilient but humanity may not be.

Reminds me of a fellow grad student who insisted with a straight face that a nuclear war wouldn't be so bad- we could just go into the local libraries and find all the information on how to rebuild things, returning to normal in a decade or two. She had other issues too, but this one really left my lower jaw on the floor.

It's not really about temperatures or the loss of ecosystems as much as once millions of people are displaced and don't have food and water or any shelter world wars will break out. Hungry desperate people tend to start killing one another. It's going to get really shitty man.

An interesting thought I've had is how a lot of the pro vaccine/mask people are often also extremely left and concerned with global warming. It seems to me that the biggest problem linked to climate change is the fact that there's WAY too many people on this planet and that's the root of the climate crisis. If you want to combat climate change you'd think you'd be pro super virus and thinning the herd a little.

So yeah, take your mask off and help fight climate change eh?

You go first

Well I've had the vid three times now and it hasn't taken me out yet but I won't wear a mask anymore and I won't get another vaccine either.

Also I've only had one child in my lifetime and I'm an extremely small consumer so yeah, I do my part.

We can do better but pretending we can meet these absurd net zero targets is beyond ridiculous. Not gonna happen. It’s impossible. There’s no turning the emission train around. Adaption should be where all our efforts go.

It sucks but I agree.

Preliminary estimates on sea level rise are now talking about a rise of about 10 feet or more by 2100. Latest models indicate the Thornwaite glacier will begin to break apart sometime in Mid 2030's. I think we are going to see societal repercussions way before 2050. As data becomes more clear the insurance industry will be the first to pull the plug on coastal properties, probably around 2030 or so. There is likely to be a huge capitol and property loss to many people, companies, and cities. Blue coastal states will be screaming for federal dollars to build levees, pump stations, or other engineered solutions, not every project will be funded. Red midwest states will eventually say sorry no more money for you, you woke liberals. Demands to build a border wall will be louder as more and more climate refugees want to come to the US. Maybe 1 billion climate refugees by 2075. The likelihood of significant abandonment/coastal retreat is becoming greater every year. I am pretty pessimistic about our republic, I do not think it will endure these climate challenges.

I am looking for property with a solid, secure water source, space for solar, safe from wildfire, good Mtbing, and has the ability to grow food for at least 8 months a year. Got any leads? Oh do not forget the guns, your going to need guns, lots of guns

Respect to POW for calling our FIS.

Indeed. I still know people that are planning on having 3 to 5 kids. That's a head scratcher for me, like really?

Anytime you talk with climate deniers about this kind of stuff, they say you’re just falling for the climate fear porn. The amount of people putting their heads in the sand is staggering.

Sea level rise of at least 10ft by 2100? Sea level is currently rising 3mm of year. If the current rate continues, that’s like an inch by 2100. That’s a big jump from where we are now? I know, science(models anyway) says etc. but that’s a massive departure from current rise.

You're assuming a linear increase in the rising rate ... I have a feeling we're about to see exponential increases in effects as the positive feedback loops start having an impact. A noteworthy one is the decrease in sea ice reflecting more sun radiation back to space.

I'm sure your math would be great news for the folks in the Solomon Islands. You should explain it to them. I read the news today, oh boy

Similarly there is less snow coverage on land, and that's bad.

Yeah, that's not how this is going to go down though unfortunately. I'm no scientist but it's pretty obvious that it's an exponential trend, like rollerballs on some mountain face of hot pow that's shedding. Hopefully it's not as bad or as fast as it's looking to be but only time will tell.

Red coastal states will be screaming for the same things

I’m not assuming anything. I’m just saying a 10’+ rise by 2100 is like 130x faster than the current real rate.

Sorry to interrupt to doomsday vibe.
