Where I live used to be a giant glacial lake, this entire valley was under at least 1000' feet of water before the ice dam broke Maybe lake Missoula will return
Has anyone yet denied that climate has/is/will change? From some of the recent posts I'm wondering if I've missed the news story claiming the Antarctic ice will soon completely melt.
http://www.cnn.com/2014/05/12/us/nasa-antarctica-ice-melt/ Ice melt in part of Antarctica 'appears unstoppable,' NASA says (CNN) -- New research shows a major section of west Antarctica's ice sheet will completely melt in coming centuries and probably raise sea levels higher than previously predicted, revealing another impact from the world's changing climate. The United Nations' most recent climate change report estimated sea levels could rise from about 1 foot to 3 feet by 2100. Such a rise could displace tens of millions of people from coastal areas around the world. Anandakrishnan said the U.N. estimate largely didn't take into account the melting ice sheet from west Antarctica, because few studies for that area had been completed.
I have plans to start a "real estate empire" in Florida. I am seriously considering moving somewhere else. I, personally, can just move when the ground starts to get soggy, but I can't sell a bunch of properties that no one will want any more. But it sucks because Florida has the warm winters. Here's a picture of why I would never want to leave Florida. http://s.w-x.co/78dc2d95-82fa-4b11-b537-d7547e3cc856.jpg Do you think, after the sea levels rise, that Georgia will have warm winters? Probably since it will be right on the sea, right?
That map is so cool. There's a county in Florida called Highlands County and obviously it got it's name for being at relative high elevation, and you can see that it's one of the only places left above water.
You know I might take some of this pretty personally, I know you hippies really don't like to fight.... But I don't want to get kicked off.... I know you can talk sh** from behind a computer screen.... But I don't want to get kicked off. You're not worth it anyway. Unbeknownst to you, you are already dead. You did not reproduce, therefore your molecules will simply decompose into the ground. Maybe it's not too late. Maybe a lesbian couple might want a sperm donor and you could help them out. And watch... now I'll get kicked off for being "combative" for replying to a person who basically said he wants me to drown.
"tattle" Ya think? Seriously? Not worth the effort. Oh! not decomposing... Going up in smoke. You may want to stop breathing, just in case.
No, actually decomposing is much more accurate. You do not ignite in flames when you die.... you obviously are not as scientific as me. *deleted
Not all of you gets burned.... and that that does become gases in the atmosphere which are eventually taken back in by plants. So you are still just some molecules that will feed plants or some other part of the ecosystem. Now if you REALLY wanted to be cool.... get cremated, then get your ashes crushed into a diamond. But if you have no kids or anyone that would care about that diamond, then what is the point?
but back on topic, it sure has been friggin' hot around here lately. What I have noticed subjectively over the last couple of decades is the seasons are not as different in temp extremes and they have shifted around the calendar. Weather that used to show up in Sept.-Oct. is making it's appearance in Nov-Dec. with a net result of warmer, seemingly shorter "winters" here (if you can say So. Ca. even has winter.)
Yes, but a TREE cannot be your kid? Think.... genetics.... DNA..... Can you asexually give birth to a tree?
Just like OL' Gore and his scam on the 'ozone', That's all this bullshit is! They had to shift the money and keep the funds growing, The libtards came up with 'climate change'. In history, The parts most glance over to get to a point that is worthless, Is the weather and climate of the past centuries. There is called the 50 and 100 year storm and if you think back, Its nothing out of the normal. Wow, A glacier melted a little, Who gives a fuck! I know I don't and never will! The little map was cute about all the water, But another half baked scheme from a 'center' who collects government checks to fund bullshit and lies! The sun will still come up, And go down, Might be warm in season or winter. But just like the 'ozone', Go piss down another's back and tell them its raining, My time is worth more than LIE'S and BULLSHT!
