Climate change anyone?

[westphalian]

Our 200000 years is nowt to Gaia. 650MYA ago the whole earth was frozen and then covered in dessert in the Permian with 3x the level of CO2 today.
We are the one that will suffer. Many of our large cities are coastal, there will be water and food shortages.
I suppose at least Skegness will be no more

Ah the horrors of a custard covered Earth  westphalian .  .  .

As others have said, climate change is less about what we'll do to the Earth in the long term (we've a blip on the Earth's timeline, albeit an obnoxious one). It's essentially self-preservation and continuing on the path we're on will mean by 2100 we won't have a great deal to preserve. 

 

I also mourn the loss of biodiversity in our lifetimes. Again, not that the earth won't recover, only that our children and children's children won't see the wealth of natural splendour that we've enjoyed.

Actually the fossil record shows it was more Apple crumble but there is debate amongst geologists

Please look him up everybody.

Is it false though? You are not reading the message because you don't like the messenger. It's data - the IPCC have backpedelled. It's true, it's there in black and white.

It is but not sure of its relevance to climate change. In warmer times you get more snow so water is locked up partly outweighing melting in the Arctic but this not happening in Arctic regions and surprisingly much of sea level rise is nothing to do with melting ice but simply the seawater expanding as it warms. According to Wiki "Between 1993 and 2018, thermal expansion of the oceans contributed 42% to sea level rise"

Enough to make me fucking Puke, but not unlike Obama's entirely unmerited  award.

Sweden, not surprised .... the same country that is about to deport thousands of Iranian Christians back to the Ayatollahs tender mercies, yet welcomes jihadi extremists with open arms.

Just read this piece by George Monibot. He finally lays the agenda on the table: "To stop global warming we must stop economic growth." In short, they are agitating for communism.
