I know what your speaking of and agree policing in some form or another needs to be done... But when your paying out annual salaries of 1.72Bto 1.75B of some 14k employees they should be doing the job entrusted to them instead of playing pocket strings with whomever?? I surely believe anyway..I need to also bring up the fact I have not once said we don’t need certain policing I said we don’t need the incompetent EPA sucking us dry in salaries not doing a damn thing... We’ll agree to disagree here.. Just quote me accurately when you paraphrase my posts please.. Not once did I say we didn’t need checks and balances I said we don’t need the EPA and I’ll say it again, we don’t need the EPA!

And finally I will tell you I don’t h**e the left, I don’t h**e anyone, I h**e the incompetency of the left, the lies and fabrication of the left and their Ridiculous need to spend three years fighting Trump rather than working for the benefit of our country, that’s what I h**e!

How do you know that?? Humans as in their species... lolol sorry it came to mind that's all..

And why are other planets also heating if they have no humans??? Did you read the article?

lindajoy Loc: right here with you....

You posted the article so it is your opinion, right?? Or did you just post it for nothing??

I was replying to the hype in the article.. Not your hype, hell, when its “your hype” I’ll be sure to say “ your hype” so you don’t get confused..Simple enough???

Taken from your article~~ fascinating speculative assumptions are always worked into the equations aren’t they..

Part of the problem, according to Michalak, is a dearth of data on water quality compared to quantity. It’s easier to tease out the relationship between climate and water quantity, given that temperature and precipitation records go back more than a century in many parts of the world. But data on water quality, where they exist at all, tend to be regional and short term.

In the new study published in Nature, Michalak and her colleagues sought to fill in some of the gaps in observations with nearly 30 years of satellite data. The team looked at images of 71 large lakes across 33 countries, collected between 1984 and 2012 by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Landsat 5 satellite, and used an algorithm to detect peak summertime bloom intensity in each of the lakes.

“In the vast majority of the lakes we looked at here, we don’t have the luxury of decades of water samples,” Michalak said, “but what we were able to do is to use historical satellite data to at least get a first glimpse of what has been going on in these lakes.”

Bloom intensity increased in more than two thirds of the lakes, the study finds, a trend that held across differing regions and across lakes of varying sizes and depths.

Experts cautioned that the study’s threshold for statistical significance was 0.1, which means there is a 10% chance the trend could be due to random chance. But the research helps scientists begin to confirm what they have long believed about the relationship between c*****e c****e and water quality, with important implications for resource managers going forward, said Hans Paerl, a professor of marine science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill..

A question for you, is trending weather changes of higher temperatures c*****e c****e?? Much of what I read said the algae growth occurs in summertime settings of higher temps... So I’m curious to see if you believe weather cycles of hot and cold are weather or c*****e c****e??

If you h**e that in the left, then you should h**e that in the right also. Except of course the wall, the left isn't for the wall, this is true, just as we are not for open borders contrary to the propaganda the right believes.

The money and time could be better spent on our own well-needed infrastructure.

Seriously Linda? For you to say that you really don't understand, do you? One can look at any temperature graph since the industrial revolution to see the steady climb and it's acceleration, along with industrial production. Look at the average mean temperatures for overly heated days of not only summer, but spring and fall also, we had flowers blooming in February all over the place, not just flower but the trees also, we've had a premature birth of spring! the length of our summer keeps expanding, summer is a toll on the environment when it's too long and too hot, God forbid we don't get the rainy days, like some places Linda, it's called a drought, it's called a tinderbox for forests. How many miles and miles have been burnt up on the west coast alone in the past decade? I'll tell you...

Oct 3, 2019 - Over the past 10 years, there were an average of 67,000 wildfires annually and an average of 7.0 million acres burned annually. In 2018, 58,083 wildfires burned 8.8 million acres nationwide, the sixth-largest figure on record in terms of acreage burned.


Of course algae increases in the peak summertime heat conditions, so now imagine that with the burner turned up, yes there is only one conclusion, rising Temps,will increase the condition.

Every year since 2000, an average of 72,400 wildfires burned an average of 7.0million acres. This figure is nearly double the average annual acreage burned in the 1990s.

This is just in the US not the world, now we can see how Australia will impact the world statistics. The slight variations on a yearly matter are insignificant, due to the length of time it takes to regrow a forest, decades and decades.

I agree with you here... Many things of the right tick me off as well, B...There really is no party anymore, its the elitism of criminal hill vs We the People... Its also why things don’t really change all that much ... All a good show with little action taken..

I do support the wall and strict adherence to our i*********n l*ws.. I do not support open borders at all and think all of them should be closed completely for say 5 years so we can clean up and out our country... when we grant authority to enter we will now at least be Able to include a Qualifier of any immigrant having to be self sustaining financially as recently ruled by the Supreme Court... if I had my choice I would g***m our admittance much like Japan handles theirs and I would reduce our admission from the 675k ? annually to 100k..

As for the propaganda that’s the biggest part of the two parties, a bunch of hype, bunch lies, bunch of false accusations, and a bunch of misleading information...

lindajoy Loc: right here with you....

Oh I understand, B, we just have differing views....
One can also look at any graph to see cyclic change of warming trends to ice age trends
too..Not c*****e c****e but w*****r p*****ns, which is why I asked you my question on if w*****r p*****ns are c*****e c****e~~ Since you didn’t answer that, would you do so here??

Here lets for example use the horrific loss of the Amazon forests...Recall my comment on how the El Niño years impact our w*****r p*****ns...I love National Geograph, yet sgain not a news article~~

See how much of the Amazon is burning, how it compares to other years
Deforestation rates across the Amazon have spiked this year, driving the devastating blazes.

Thousands of fires are burning across a southern swath of the Amazon. They belch smoke and soot, blanketing those who live downwind with thick, dirty air, hurting wildlife in their path and destroying part of one the most important carbon storehouses left on the planet.

About 76,000 fires were burning across the Brazilian Amazon at last official count, an increase of over 80 percent over the same time period last year, according to data from Brazil’s National Institute for Space Research (INPE). Since then, even more fires have appeared in the satellite imagery that scientists use to assess the extent and intensity of burning, and they expect the number to increase over coming months as the dry season intensifies.

The burning season
From June to December, the southern Amazon Basin dries out, and fires can become a concern. Most are caused by human activity, especially clearing lands for farming.

The fires themselves are destructive and devastating, but their primary cause is more concerning, says Ane Alencar, the director of science at the Amazon Environmental Research Institute (IPAM).

“The majority of the fires we’re seeing now are because of deforestation,” she says. “It’s crazy. We reduced deforestation by almost 65 percent in the past. We proved that we could do that. And now we’re going backwards.”

Why now? And how bad is it compared to the past?
So far in 2019, the number of fires burning across the Amazon is higher than at any point since 2010, which was a particularly bad year of drought, says Ruth DeFries, an expert on sustainable development at Columbia University. By last week, about 7,000 square miles of the forest were in flames, an area just smaller than the size of New Jersey.

Most fires observed in the region are caused by humans. Many are set in previously cleared lands in order to quickly remove any excess vegetation that has popped up. Others are set in land that is still in the process of being cleared, in order to make more open land for crops or cattle.

Farmers and ranchers down forest earlier in the year and leave the felled trees to dry out. Once the fallen trees have desiccated, they set them on fire, leaving behind an open swath of land ready for agricultural activity.

But fires have been worse in the past—because deforestation was more acute.

Amazon deforestation peaked in late 1990s and early 2000s. In the worst phases of those peak deforestation periods, over 10,000 square miles of forest could be cut down in a year, much of that cleared area converted directly to cropland for soy or grazing for cattle. In some years, like in 1998 and 2005, that deforestation activity coincided with major El Niño droughts, and fires were abundant and widespread.

Counting the Amazon Fires
The Amazon did not evolve to burn, but for centuries, fire has been used to clear space in the rainforest for agricultural crops, from soybeans to palm to cattle. Deforestation often leads to fire. In Brazil—which controls the majority of the vast forest—regulations were put into place over a decade ago to curb the expanse of deforestation, but these rules have been loosened by the new Brazilian administration, and consequently fires are spiking.

Before regulations
The first implementation of forest legislation in Brazil took place in 1965, but it wasn’t until 2006 that the Public Forest Management Law was passed, aimed at reducing the amount of deforestation. In 2008 new measures were put in place to further protect the forest.
After regulations
Strong El Niño events cause droughts in the region, creating ideal conditions for burning. El Niño years have high fire counts, even after intentional deforestation rates dropped.
Now
The new administration has actively encouraged more agricultural activity and development and has greatly reduced enforcement of illegal deforestation within the Amazon. There are 80% more fires now than this same time last year.

Most of California's hottest fires have burned since 2000—13 out of 20 total—as higher temperatures have made wildfires increasingly likely and destructive. Just in the last five years, this is how much of the state has burned.

We can no longer ignore the impact we have on this earth, it is completely irresponsible to think otherwise and WE can make changes to what we add to it, and not accelerate it by making NO changes.

At the same time, this can create many new jobs and industries.

just last five

Just don't do stupid and ineffective costly Bull S**t.

CO2 "capture" for starters.
A really big boon doggle.

lindajoy Loc: right here with you....

For further consideration let’s take a look at the horrendous California fires, definitely humans play a factor in it just not by the global warning aspect entirely but the natural weather phenomenon, Chainsaws, electrical power lines that go down, cigarettes thrown carelessly out, supposed controlled burns spiral out of control, arson etc.
Dry climates also play a factor, but as explained in the article that’s because California enjoys the Mediterranean climate, tracked since the 1900s well before that created by industries..
Bottom line, not everything is caused by c*****e c****e where many variables are at play... To blame it all on c*****e c****e is derelict to the many other factors involved.

Wildfires are not a new phenomenon to the California ecosystem, which has tracked wildfire data since the early 1900s. Native Americans used to burn forests to maintain forest health.

California's Mediterranean climate keeps forests without rainfall for months at a time, which leads to a drying out of vegetation. Droughts are commonplace, with the state finally getting relief from a seven year drought earlier this year... (Thank God for that!!)

Dry summers lead to wet winters, but the interval between the two becomes the prime season for wildfires.

With temperatures warming due to c*****e c****e, vegetation is drier for longer periods than in years past. A heavy accumulation of "fuel," the low shrubs, dry grass, and young trees that act as a ladder between the forest floor and large canopy overhead, become tinder when wildfire season comes in the fall.

In combination with hot, dry, 60 to 70 mph Santa Ana and Diablo winds traveling from the east, this fuel creates the apocalyptic fires that swallow communities and forests whole.

"These are not really best described as wildfires. Most people describe them as fire storms," says Jon Keeley, a research scientist at the U.S. Geological Survey.

"It is not something that firefighters have much chance of putting out until the wind dies down." <snip>

I’m a big supporter of keeping land, water and air pollution free... I also never said we shouldn’t make changes that help our “ home” known as Earth.,, Its all we have after all...You said: We can no longer ignore the impact we have on this earth, it is completely irresponsible to think otherwise and WE can make changes to what we add to it, and not accelerate it by making NO changes.
I agree with this but I’ll also say are making changes, renewables, electric cars and buses, solar, geo thermal etc...

The idea of creating jobs~~👍

What we don’t have is the supposed Commitment from the France climate control summit... Despite the 2015 agreement, global carbon emissions increased 1.7 percent in 2017 and a further 2.7 percent in 2018... Wh**ever they are they can’t be good...
