Who said they are human?
I force myself to refer to them as the human species, but truth be known, they're ate-up dumbass accepters - a dangerous offshoot of our human species.Who said they are human?
They are opportunists willfully preying on those that lack critical thinking skills and/or general overall intelligence. There are a few, I imagine, that actually believe the BS that they sling. Either way, they have no place in a civilized society.I force myself to refer to them as the human species, but truth be known, they're ate-up dumbass accepters - a dangerous offshoot of our human species.

Stark Climate-Change Warning
I personally am tending towards the view that we won't address this sufficiently until the consequences force us to.This has been a topic discussed for a couple of decades that came with warnings that if we don't do something to change our ways when it comes to our atmosphere, we'll be in an irreversible position to prevent dire consequences to life. Those warnings have become more urgent these past 5 years, imo. Unfortunately, a certain set of humans have ignored, sometimes laughed at, making any proper changes needed to avert what's dead ahead. Extreme heat, droughts and forest fires. We're at a point right now, in which heat, drought and fires are growing in many places, including the US. We're witnessing the toothpaste escaping the tube no longer able to put said toothpaste back into the tube.
Since we're on a faster track with these increasing hardships due to climate change, (thanks to willful ignorance from those in leadership positions + those willing to follow), we're faced with having to adapt and cope with such coming dire consequences already in partial progress. Keep in mind that not only humans suffer, but animals as well. Crops dwindle away causing more hunger and especially poorer choices of what we eat simply because, a lack of choices available. Air that we need to breathe is becoming more smoke filled. Water shortages and in some cases poorer water quality. So, my friends, any ideas for all of the adaptations we'll be needing and experiencing over the next 10-20 years? (I know that the article expresses that we don't have any time left to adapt, but when push comes to shove - well - adaptation is what stands between life and death).
Issued by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, an organization of 195 governments, the report is drawn from a three-year analysis of 14,000 peer-reviewed scientific studies. It is the first major international assessment of climate-change research since 2013 and the first of four IPCC reports expected in the next 15 months.
“We’ve known for decades that the world is warming, but this report tells us that recent changes in the climate are widespread, rapid and intensifying, unprecedented in thousands of years,” said Ko Barrett, vice chair of the panel and the senior adviser for climate at the Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. “Further, it is indisputable that human activities are causing climate change.”
“When you see what has happened this summer with heat waves in Canada and the heavy precipitation in Germany, I think this is showing that even highly developed countries are not spared,” said Sonia Seneviratne, a senior scientist at ETH Zurich in Switzerland and a lead co-author of the report. “We don’t really have time to adapt anymore because the change is happening so quickly.”
Part of the issue is that it's tough to have a conversation about 'what do we do'? Many of the people who cry the loudest, 'we must do something!' fall silent when it comes to specifics. At best you get a vague, 'spend a trillion dollars, as a start' from people like AOC.I personally am tending towards the view that we won't address this sufficiently until the consequences force us to.
And the point at which they force us to is going to be well after the point at which those consequences are multiple disasters.
Assuming they aren't already.
Boo.Winter is Coming?
Deniers are gonna do what they do best, deny.
The evidence is clear and we’re now beginning to live the nightmare.
Where I live for example, more warm days than ever before with houses built for cooler temperatures and winters in mind and I can’t afford AC, we’re roasting and there’s no end in sight.
On top of that never ending and more extreme wild fires making it hard to go outside.
Deniers are the bane of all mankind as this is only gonna get worse.
You think with your eyes wide open. For decades I've noticed something very common in our collective thinking. We act when it's too late. That begets a state of forcing ourselves to undo mostly the undoable - from a position of being behind the curve. The previous 4 years prior to Jan 20 has set us far behind that curve 50 years - maybe more. Not only the physical repercussions of those 4 years but mostly the mental takeover on the simple minds who now support and push our climate demise at a much accelerated rate. Yes, even now, those simpletons still don't get it.I personally am tending towards the view that we won't address this sufficiently until the consequences force us to.

For now, yup. Decades to come, less likely.Winter is Coming?
Notice the remarkable absence of the flood of talk radio right wing types who used to flood threads like this with random articles from global warming denial sites!
Question 1: Why was the Montreal Protocol enacted and ratified by every country on the planet, including Reagan's conservative administration?Winter is Coming?
Much of the problem lies with short-term thinking. Politicians have finite professional lives, and addressing something which spans generations just isn't 'sexy' for, I suspect, the majority of his/her electorate who want action and results now; neither is it politically advantageous for the politician. What is needed is a cohesive, multilaterally international approach, much like the Montreal Protocol. It is now thirty years since it was enacted and it worked. We can do anything if the will is there.You think with your eyes wide open. For decades I've noticed something very common in our collective thinking. We act when it's too late.

One of the problems for me is the earth has warmed and cooled many times before humans were around. Climate change is not new to the earth. Change is normal to the earth. For example, we are coming off the last ice age. This began about 2.6 million years ago, with natural global warming ending the ice age about 11,000 year ago.
Glacier used to be farther south than NYC. We only started to complain when the glaciers when they reached the Arctic Circle after several thousands miles of retreat due melting caused by natural global warming. The hype conveniently ignores natural climate change and tries to suggest this it all the due to man, which seems deceptive to me. If they spoke of both, I was be more obliged to listen. Are you aware the world forest fires can produce as much CO2 as the automobile, with fires worse since they disrupt make and also disrupt the CO2 absorption by burning plants and trees.
