Nwtk,,, nay,, I care little about coastal areas in the welfare of humans.. those that live in the flood areas will have to handle it.. some have already built tide walls etc..

I do have concern about the growing of crops and the changing conditions affecting both yield and quality..

The bread bowl of India has become so hot that the green revolution verities from the 70s can not survive. so the farmers face the dilemma of growing the old verities which do not yield the required amount or the trying the high yielding ones which may not survive to give any yield at all..

The California valley, has lost a great deal a/c the dry drought years of the past decades..

Our great plains/wheat fields are on the edge of failure. dry seasons and the new strains of rust effecting wheat may see our food cost become prohibitive..

Anyway, food production around the world is my concern.. I like to eat..

And of course the true emergency is that the droughts will affect the great need of production of coffee and beer the two great essentials of Americans..

It is real and joking will not change that..

If you do not believe in human caused CC, then simply recognize the obvious happening and make what changes you can.. even if not effective as we wish , they do no harm and improve our world..

Stay healthy and safe, please...

Smoking and breathing air are not quite the same.
Most people do care about the environment.
What I witness often, a kid comes out of a store with candy and tosses the wrapper on the ground the trash can is 2 feet away.
The parent says nothing.
No respect for his or her city or town.
Possibly spending the remainder of the day cleaning the parking lot would help.

This man would have died even earlier if he had taken the advice of his doctor who told him he could get all of his daily nutritional needs just from our current food groups and not taken action. Luckily the man supplemented his diet with vitamins, minerals and clean water and extended his life by 5 years. Your doctor doesn't always know best. Doctors used to say smoking was good for you. "Have a Coke and a Camel", was all the rage at one time.

Big Kahuna

Nothing ignorant about it but you surely are.

Big Kahuna

Barra"whodat" can't even prove that he exists let alone trying to prove that climate change brought on by man exists.

Big Kahuna

Distrust big government. They can come to your house, break your door down and drag you off to a FEMA camp just because you exist. Industry can't do that.

Big Kahuna

I agree. I say, clean up our environment 1st before you start harping about the bogus climate change. We all know this is about raping the American tax payer for even more money to help fund the elite class. I think I'll start a movement to eradicate the color black since it absorbs too much of the sun's rays and robs others of equal heat distribution from the sun. Too many melanocytes could be bad for the environment.

Perm, I hear your favorite wine (whine) is, "I want to go to Miami!"

Mr permafrost, it appears that you are feeling better about things this day, you were so nice to me and now Mr Nwtk.

I will say this is what I think; the overall world climate does, indeed, for at least the short term, appear to be warming and maybe even man has some small amount of impact but that is only a guess. I do understand the science of green house gases. I think we can try some things but I don't think we should up end our economy or energy producing systems just yet. At present on could predict that optimum growing areas will shift to the north for the northern hemisphere in to areas not compatible with our needs at present. Who can predict some areas, though. Siberia might become the garden spot of the earth soon. You could ask Monsanto and Bill Gates. Both are buying up land by the thousands of acres at a time.

I also don't think China or India are going to do anything to help; they just want our money. I think we stay as clean as we can. Use more natural gas. Work to improve wind and solar but also we should stay energy independent. For while we might exhaust our economy to be compliant with the Paris accord, most will not.

Who's the denier? It's you.
I have never said there was no evidence. I have repeatedly said we need to do more, much more, to clean up our environment. i have spent my whole life working toward that goal. No, I am not convinced that man is the primary cause of gcc. I need more credible evidence of that specific accusation. And no, I am not convinced that we are on the verge of yet another catastrophe that MUST be fixed NOW or we will all die in fill-in-the-blank years.
To use your story, you go to that same doctor and he says "You're developing copd. It will make your life terrible, and kill you in twenty to thirty years if you do not stop now. Also, I suspect you have lung cancer, and I insist that we attempt a double lung transplant to save your life". You say, "Good grief! The x-rays showed cancer? How much? Where? Has it spread?"
The doctor replies that "We did not do x-rays. The tests we've done are not conclusive, and are subject to interpretation. But based on the fact that 90% of all doctors concur that smoking will eventually lead to lung cancer, we've scheduled the surgery for in the morning. I am completely sure that if you do not do the surgery you will be dead within a year.
How's that for a story?
I would like to play nice with you, and learn from each other....maybe even seek a compromise that will help our environment. But clearly you are singularly interested in Only Your Way.
Good luck with that. There are a LOT of intelligent skeptics standing in your way.

Absolutely correct! I agree with every word! And I also agree with Permafrost's comment. Let's do what we can as individuals, families, and local communities, while the studies and research continue. If Barracuda is correct (doubtful) then the simple act of cutting back on driving during the pandemic did MAJOR clean up of the environment. If true, then a very few simple steps will solve the problem. Personally, I do not think it will be that easy because I am not convinced industry is the primary cause of the warming. But let's all agee to do what we can without moving back to hunting and gathering.
