boyst Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 Its the coolest temps in the carolinas in decades. The wettest California in decades So, with the infancy of climate science and its ever shifting goalposts I'm not worried about it. Shouldn't Florida be under water by now?

Another link To be fair, I thought I heard this morning most scientists do/do not attribute this to global warming( they don't know)...and I am a huge believer in human-caused global warming.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 Is this bad? Can't we just use a million tugboats and tow it to Manhattan to use for making cocktails?

Tangier is losing roughly 15 feet of coastline per year as the Chesapeake Bay rises around it, This is an interesting story, and points out the dangers of both sides of the climate debate. On one side, Tangier Island has been eroding for many many years and has lost 2/3 of its land mass since 1850, almost 100% due to erosion. That is being accelerated by rising water levels, and the climate change folks are jumping on this story now to over dramatize the effects of climate change, as if this is something that just started. On the other side, the town and its residents voted heavily for Trump, and now claim rising water levels have zero to do with the problem, it is strictly accelerated erosion. Shocking how they are appealing to Trump to help with fed funds to build a sea wall and screaming at the top of their lungs has zero to due with rising water levels.
eball Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 It's a shame that many people seem to only react to the "climate change" issue with one extreme or the other (i.e., either it caused everything or caused nothing). Using an isolated example of either extreme as evidence to support one's argument is pretty short-sighted.

You do understand it's based on worldwide averages, not just what it's doing in your backyard?
Bob Lamb Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 The iceberg is the size of the state of Delaware. But there is no such thing as global warming, just an everyday occurrence...... Another link 60 years ago - there weren't even aerial pictures of Antarctica. So, this has never happened before?

I guess those who dismissed "the earth is round" arguments due to the "infancy" of the science were right to be cautious also.

Climate change will be different for each region. It's actually mostly good for AZ because of the change to a wetter climate. Good and bad for southern Cali because the El Nino brings flooding, collapsing coastline.
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 Countdown to move to PPP in 5, 4, 3... an hour too soon its been so dry I'm still waiting for my grass to go to seed
LeviF Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 So who bought advance tickets to "An Inconvenient Sequel," where the great manbearpig slayer tells us all about how the sensationalist garbage in his first movie was just ahead of its time or something?
