COLD BLAST HEARTLAND; CHILLS SUBZERO... Record -37? in Minnesota... Temps 30? BELOW normal... Some of most extreme cold 'ever observed' in central Missouri... Arctic Blast: Canada... Siberia, Antarctica Warmer Than NH... UPDATE: Erie, PA pummeled by record 5 feet of snow... NATIONAL GUARD MOBILIZED... LIVE CHILL MAP...


Freezing here too. It is 60 right now, I may need to put on a shirt to walk the dog.

Bullshit. It snowed in Miami 100 years ago. You can demonstrate that the climate is changing, it always does but you can't blame every little incident on that. I even agree man has contributed to that change but when you look at long term records, that CO2 change tracks population as closely as any other metric. If you are serious about fixing that problem, eliminate about half of the population. That would allow the rain forests to repopulate themselves, farm land would revert to turf land and the heat islands created in cities would dissipate.

NOt sure what you mean by that or the relevance. Unless you're claiming that it's us breathing rather than burning carbon fuels that's causing it.

If you are serious about fixing that problem, eliminate

Or we could just do what we are doing now. Reduce it by conserving energy and using energy that doesn't emit as much CO2. Certainly slowing population growth would be a good idea to help not only CO2 but the planet in general.

The biggest part of the problem is humans are removing the CO2 sinks that used to absorb the CO2, mostly from agriculture. The change in CO2 levels started 8000 years ago with the rise of farming,. That is also when population started growing at exponential rates. When countries like Brazil burn the rain forest and drain wet lands to grow sugar cane for ethanol they do more damage than if they just burned gasoline. Vast areas of the globe are being denuded of native vegetation to grow crops and the 3d world is far less efficient that the US so they are destroying more land for less food. Any idea that we will go back to

18th or 19th century CO2 levels would require that we also go back to 18th century population levels and lifestyles.

No matter how much we say we will conserve, energy use will explode as the 3d world starts insisting on everything they see us with. If we want to deal with global warming, we better be doing it by dealing with a warmer world. That may mean some people living on the coast will be moving upland. Migration because of climate change is as old as the human race, get over it. Without it we would all still be living in sub saharan Africa.

Nitwits traitor and f'ing Bob should remove themselves from the carbon cycle. Every little bit helps - it would also raise average IQ.
