Trump Displays Pure Stupidity On Climate Change

[Von Halen]

The science of climate change has been predicting for decades that weather patterns (both hot and cold) would become more extreme while the overall temperature of the planet continues to increase.

Is that right, Sheepmeister?

[Seshmeister]

Yup.

"The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the international body for assessing
the science related to climate change. The IPCC was set up in 1988 by the World Meteorological
Organization (WMO) and United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) to provide policymakers
with regular assessments of the scientific basis of climate change, its impacts and future risks, and
options for adaptation and mitigation. "

Global warming didn't become climate change in the way the fossil fuel lobby groups say in your fake news feed - it was called Climate Change 30 years ago.

1881 in 5 years. Incredible!

Detroit is part of my territory. You should come make sales calls with me. You’d shit yourself in the first 5 minutes.

After being in parts of DC, the Eastside of Buffalo, and living in/near the El Salvadorian MS13 gang HQ/birthplace, I doubt I'd be phased that much....

Hey, NickDickless. The ocean is sinking! Ha ha ha!

Wait. Maybe the ocean is sinking! NickDickless just solved global warming! The ocean is sinking into the hot core of the earth, warming the water and causing the ice bergs to melt!

I hope whatever the fuck you sell doesn't involve much of science, VonFagar...

Well, since you like Newsweek, here's a more recent article (today)...

The Ocean Floor Is Sinking Under The Water Weight From Melting Glaciers, And It’s As Bad As It Sounds

Newsweek Dana Dovey,Newsweek 8 hours ago

So much extra water is being added into the world’s oceans from melting glaciers that the ocean floor is sinking underneath its increasing weight. This ocean floor deformation also means we have miscalculated just how much ocean levels are rising and the problem could be far worse than previously believed.

Over the past 20 years, ocean basins have sunk an average of 0.004 inches per year. This means that the ocean is 0.08 inches deeper than it was two decades ago. While this small fragment of an inch may not seem much, oceans cover 70 percent of our planet, making the problem bigger than it seems at an initial glance.

In a study published online in Geophysical Research Levels, researchers explain how they used a mathematical equation known as the elastic sea level equation to more accurately measure the ocean floor. This allowed them to see how much the bottom of the ocean floor has changed from 1993 to 2014. While they are not the first scientists to look at the ocean floor, this is the first time that researchers have taken into account how additional water from melted ice may have further stretched the ocean floor, LiveScience reported.

The results show that the ocean is changing in ways that we previously did not realize and is sinking further into the earth’s crust. As a result, scientists have underestimated how much sea levels are rising by as much as 8 percent. The study concludes by emphasizing that future sea level measurement should take ocean floor deformation into account in order to more accurately understand how our oceans are changing.

All the water on the planet today is all the water that has ever existed on the planet, but not all water is in its liquid form. Recently, rising temperatures have caused much of the frozen water on the planet’s glaciers to melt and join the ocean as liquid. This mass melting ice rising sea levels, a problem whose consequences we’re already starting to see. The first to notice the repercussions of rising sea levels are those who live in coastal areas. Rising waters mean less land to live on. In addition, more water in the ocean means that ocean storms, such as hurricanes, have the potential to be stronger and more devastating, National Geographic reported.

Small coastal areas won’t be the only ones to disappear due to rising waters and if current estimates are correct, by 2100 the ocean will rise between 11 and 38 inches, a number that could mean that much of the U.S. east coast will be covered in water, National Geographic reported.

Let's see. The article says the ocean floor is sinking due to the weight of more water being added but then it says we are going to flood the coastlines due to more water. Kind of a contradiction. None of the predictions have come true. So let's admit the scientists miscalculated. Push the same sky is falling hysteria and interestingly enough solving the problem is trading carbon credits to China. In short. This is a land grab scheme. A few rich people will end up owning agricultural land and other assets. The world's biggest polluter China will be exempt. Bigger profit margins for the big corporations in bed with the PRC and less for the average person in the west. See global warming only is a problem in the industrialized west. Not a problem in China where there are real pollution problems. This is all about grabbing as much land as you can and using the cheapest labor you can and controlling the population.

Please Nitro, don’t try to talk sense to the Three Stooges that believe everything they think fits their agenda.

And it’s still less harmful to the environment than all the battery powered shit the three stooges believe will save the world.

People always seem to be caught up with cars but they aren't the main problem. Plus you get a free pass for not having kids, a kid is worth 2 SUV's a big dog 1..

First-ever detailed estimate from geological drilling shows U.S. capital faces half-foot drop by 2100

07-28-2015
By Joshua E. Brown



New research confirms that the land under the Chesapeake Bay is sinking rapidly and projects that Washington, D.C., could drop by six or more inches in the next century—adding to the problems of sea-level rise.

This falling land will exacerbate the flooding that the nation’s capital faces from rising ocean waters due to a warming climate and melting ice sheets—accelerating the threat to the region’s monuments, roads, wildlife refuges, and military installations.

Hawaii's Kilauea volcano erupts, county issues evacuations

Thursday, May 03, 2018 11:28PM
HONOLULU --
Hawaii's Kilauea volcano erupted Thursday, sending lava shooting into the air in a residential neighborhood and prompting mandatory evacuation orders for nearby homes.

Hawaii County said steam and lava poured out of a crack in Leilani Estates, which is near the town of Pahoa on the Big Island.

Footage shown on local television showed lava spurting into the sky from a crack in a road. Aerial drone footage showed a line of lava snaking through a forest.

They don't on their own currently. They do produce CO2 but it's 1% of that produced by humans.

According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the world's volcanoes, both on land and undersea, generate about 200 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) annually, while our automotive and industrial activities cause some 24 billion tons of CO2 emissions every year worldwide.

Of course the logical answer to this if you are a super rich guy who owns fossil fuel companies is just to try and stop funding of the US Geological Survey and spend some pennies throwing some shit around in some blogs to muddy the waters enough for the easily led.
