This is a long read. My eyes began to glaze over before finishing.

While it would be great to live the long life Count Dracula experienced, sucking on the necks of beautiful women, I doubt even the count would want to exit in a world, being predicted here. While this piece deals with Israel and that area of the world, the rest of the planted will also be affected.

The one element that wasn't factored in: wars that will be taking place, in attempting to gain control of life-sustaining resources.

BS on this one Richard I don't buy it.

Haaretz is Israel's version of NYT or WaPo.

Just more g****l w*****g doom & gloom bulls**t. I'll believe in this hockus pockus when these pointy heads can prove to me weather changes are NOT cyclic~

Richard Rowland

I'm on the fence regarding man-made g****l w*****g. While I don't intend to re-read this piece, and I don't know how anyone knows this, but, one of the scientists claims that problematic, I think Co2, emissions from autos are trapped in the atmosphere. When thinking of all the autos operating in the world...

I recently read an article regarding acceptable levels of lead in children. The article indicated that, while it's difficult to avoid all lead, it has been reduced significantly in the country. One of the reasons given for the reduction was removing lead from gasoline.

I have to think that the auto's combustible engine is the cause for other environmental problems not yet discovered. If it weren't for the suffering, at the hands of cruel owners that horses when thru during their use prior to mechanization, I'd recommend going back to horsepower.

I went on a forty-mile trail ride once and about halfway it started pouring down rain. Not nice riding in the rain for twenty more miles at a walk. I've also had to ride the horses I trained in the freezing cold. Step down off a horse when your feet are blocks of ice, it really hurts. I didn't have a fury hat with ear flaps, I used cloth diapers to save my ears. I love a well-trained horse but wouldn't like it to be my only means of travel. A buggy or wagon isn't much better either, you're still exposed to the elements. I like my creature comforts.

I agree.

Amen to not returning to the horse and buggy days. I remember some of the dust storms we had back then, and having to crap in a two-holer that would make an icicle out of an unfinished turd; and those times were better than the earlier settlers had. If we really wanted to help, we would buy fewer cars, walk to the grocery stores, and live closer to where we worked. Hell, we wouldn't have to walk on a treadmill or go to the workout centers, which would make it cheaper to live! We might even live longer if Big Pharma doesn't poison us or Big Agriculture starve us with their lower nutritional value GMO foods first!

As to the climate changing, yes it is, and it has been since the beginning of the formation of planet Earth. Mankind is no more than a pimple on Mother Earths butt when it comes to cause and effect.

All of our significant energy comes from the sun, and the sun, along with the Earths orbital mechanics is responsible for the c*****e c****es. We have an eleven year sunspot cycle that causes weather changes in the short terms, but you have to average these short cycles over a period of at least 200 years to see what is really going on, otherwise it is just a change in the weather. "Dark Winter" by John Casey was a pretty good read on this subject if you're interested.

We were in a mini ice age about the mid 1800s, and then we began to warm up a bit following this until about 2005 or so, when the warming part of the cycle peaked out. Now we are on the downward side of the curve and going toward a cooling phase. Times have changed a bit and population has increased, which may cause some problems with our food supply due to the shortened growing seasons. Our increased population in the world won't help this problem so we can likely expect some famine, disease, and violence caused by people trying to get food and stay alive.

If we ban f****l f**ls, it will make it more difficult to get what food farmers can raise to the markets. Since the growing season climate will move further to the south, since we are north of the equator, so the distances to markets will be increased, which will require even more fuel. If you are young, hang on to your heavy coat and your long underwear, but at my age, I won't be around to see it, or not much of it anyway.

However, IMHO, mankind has very little to do with it and Mother Nature can take care of herself quite well, as she always has. Various races and species have come and gone over the centuries and millenniums, and mankind may become extinct just like the dinosaurs. We must adapt to her changes, but there is little to nothing we can do about them. Ever wonder how long we would live if the good old sun went dark? A lot of scientists don't subscribe to the BS of Al Gore and his ilk; their scientists and their computer climate models are being manipulated by marketeers for profit, and the populous is thinking with their hearts, rather than their heads. Good luck!

Richard Rowland

Thanks, Able. Great post. If you read the whole article, you would have noticed that the fate of folks living in those conditions would have to live their life near an air conditioner. When reading that comment, I wondered how things that need to be done, in the pursuit of life, would be accomplished, like construction projects or other things that can't be done while sitting in front of an air conditioner.

Would the fashion of the times, when venturing away from the air conditioner, be a type of spacesuit worn by astronauts when doing repairs outside the space station?

Richard Rowland

Aw, come on PeeWee. That type of life just made us tougher. Don't forget our parents, "The Greatest and Best Generation," lived through those times. I've also ridden in cold rainy weather, while not the most pleasant experience, I can think of worse things.

Given the climate and terrain of southern Louisiana, I can only imagine what it was like being one of those former French convicts and others who built and settled the colony of New Orleans or the Acadians (Cajuns) who developed much of the land for farming.

In many other parts of the U.S., as well, modern day residents should occasionally give some thought to those rugged, brave and hearty souls who took the first steps in making the land upon which they dwell liveable for those there today.

Jake buddy … since you must possess some working knowledge of f****l f**l engines... how many CFM does a large diesel engine convert into poisons carbon monoxide at 60 MPH?... for that matter all vehicles on the road today?... trust me it's a lot... now what will happen as China & India develop car manufacturing plants for their massive populations... it only took a small change in 02 to shrink mammals over millions of years... now factor in the real polluting issue, power generation … we have enough reason to cut back both Co2 & CO until the final decision is in... at this point the future only looks good for insects ...

“I’m happy I won’t be alive,” says Baruch Rinkevich of Israel Oceanographic and Limnological Research, who is currently helping to prepare the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on C*****e C****e’s next report on the oceans and the cryosphere.

All you need to know is this involves the UN IPCC.

And when we all move back to the caves, we'll build fires for warmth, cooking and smoke signals.

Seth

Which is essentially a g*******t Cosa Nostra.
