The signs are everywhere. Yet we ain’t doing shit and are barreling towards having another 4 year massive setback if Trump is elected.

Dems should just make this an issue of self-interest, i.e., how does this impact you and your pocketbook?

A discussion focusing on home insurance policy costs/availability would be a good start. Clearly the insurance industry doesn't think climate change is a hoax.

Let’s go geoengineering!!!

Sadly nuclear power was the first victim in the saving private earth video

"Buy cooling credits"
I knew there had to be a catch.

We're already doing geoengineering. Manmade, or “anthropogenic” CO2 and other greenhouse atmospheric gases—additional and apart from natural carbon cycle greenhouse gas sources—exceeds 50 billion tons. So the question is should we do other kinds of geoengineering too?

heh. Nuclear power the first victim, voluntary carbon market the second.

I can't afford to vote Democrat anymore. THEY affect our pocket book.

Seriously though, there's millions of poor people that are trying to figure out how to feed their kids this week, I doubt they are really worried about the climate 100+ years from now.

Past global climate change, not regional variation, took place over tens-of-thousands, hundreds-of-thousands, or millions of years. Now, the rate of warming in recent decades is unprecedented. That's because the earth hadn't seen CO2 above 300 PPM (parts per million) for over a million years up until the early 1900s. We're now above 420 PPM, a greater than 50% increase since the pre-industrial era.

It’s always hot this time of year in central Arizona, but 2024 is proving to be an endless summer with especially high temperatures in Phoenix. On Tuesday, the city hit its 100th straight day with at least 100 degree temperatures. That’s long since shattered the record of 76 days in a row set back in 1993, according to data from the National Weather Service.

Well, it is a dry heat...

Not sure why you replied. He's obviously making fun of the deniers. No one on this forum could possibly be that dumb. ?

Normally this sort of comment would get filed under another one of Old Goat's daily non sequiturs but that meme is a denier trope, regardless of post intent:

Cheap and reliable fossil fuels enabling the poor to transition to our western lifestyle is this biggest threat to the climate.

The poor improving their lives must be stopped at all costs. I don’t think a culling program is out the question. Nothing is more important than the climate.

lol, all teh olds getting in their outdated talking points. Solar offers the “cheapest…electricity in history” with the technology now cheaper than coal and gas in most major countries. In the not too distant future, sustainable renewable energy will unlock the economies of the developing world. Seriously, look it up, solar costs have fallen 90% in the last decade, onshore wind 70%, and batteries more than 90%.

When it comes to climate risk modeling, yeah, most models suggest it doesn't become a catastrophic problem for decades. But that's only the likely scenario. There are deep uncertainties in long term projections. Deniers often argue those uncertainties mean we can ignore the issue. The fact is though global temperatures are increasing at an increasing rate. Which suggests there's also a chance the planet will heat faster and more than expected.

Climate change is so woke man. I’m voting for the criminal.

Actually, it's one of my daily sarcasms. Although I have to admit I don't keep up with denier tropes. (The fact remains though that someone could post that seriously or sarcastically. It is hard to tell the difference online, as you can see. Which keeps this place interesting.)

Climate change is “very real,” Harris said. “You ask anyone who lives in a state who has experienced these extreme weather occurrences who now is either being denied home insurance or it’s being jacked up; you ask anybody who has been the victim of what that means in terms of losing their home, having nowhere to go.”

This would have been impressive to watch from a safe spot.

15 consecutive months of the highest monthly temperature. I never thought I’d see it. https://www.climate.gov/news-feature...20temperatures.

September will likely not beat September 2023 but will beat every other September on record. Ocean temps setting similar records. Serious question whether we ever again see monthly average temperatures below 2020 levels.

Right now global weather seems very fucked up.
