    Yeah let’s blame your neighbor’s SUV. Not the yachts and private jets, of the political elite who keep pushing this bullshit.

    I think I did mention that a few posts ago

    But the American lifestyle is different. In some ways it is your neighbor and their SUV.

    Wow

    Well, after bat virus thing is over, we will still be headed for 10 billion people on the planet, then 20 billion

    500 years from now, we are all squished together like sardines, there will still be people saying wut wut the amount of humans has nothing to do with anything.

    Fuck me dead

    The entire population of the world could live in the state of Texas if it was New York style housing. Most people have apartments and it's very crowded. The Earth is not over populated right now. There could be a point where the population has to control itself. Their is enough food production now there is not enough money in feeding everyone. Food is a business not a right.

    Even if the Earth was overcrowded humans themselves don't pollute. An extra billion people being alive does not mean the planet gets hotter.

    In order to sustain the world's population in a concentrated area, you will also need a lot of farm land for agriculture, and an endless supply of fresh water.
    Texas does not have enough resources to sustain that many people. The Colorado river dries up before it reaches the sea, due to the populations of southwestern US cities. What do you think the population of the world would do to every lake and river in Texas? And where will all the food be grown?

    Some people can care about multiple issues. So in one way you're nagging on people for not looking at the long term consequences of a rigid method to deal with an accute problem (coronavirus), and on the other hand you're pissing on people for still taking in account/caring about other issues lol
    Quite clear you're just having fun triggering people as always.

    Climate change has occurred here on planet earth many times in the past. Humankind is a very selfish and insincere entity and 99% of us pay lip service to global warming/climate change. "I don't have time to bother about climate change.I have a family to look after," is our mantra. Our very nature dictates that every action we take is mostly inspired by a selfish reason so we all believe that we have the reponsibility to see to our own well being first. We don't trust those in charge to take proper care of us or our planet. As a result we usually end up saying: "Screw climate change. I won't be alive when it happens."

    The hypothetical scenario assumes a lot of urban farming. Like on the rooftops of apartments which equal rural areas. Nothing special about growing your food 200 miles from NYC or 2 miles from it in smaller sections. And it's just an example of where the people go. There is still the entire planet for other things.

    The recent heat wave in the PNW coastal areas was without precedent in the period since record keeping began. Yesterday my wife and I went for a walk in a nature area adjacent to a bay of Puget Sound. It soon became obvious that the Douglas Fir in that area had suffered moderate to severe thermal damage.

    Both old and young trees were, scorched on the south and southwest sides…..not all trees, but about 50% of them. We have lived in Douglas Fir country for 45 years and have never seen a single tree with that kind of damage except in wild fire areas. Really scary. What will it take for the naysayers to wake up about climate change?

    Its already too late, and the heat is killing people, melting every glacier and the north and south pole, and even setting the tundra on fire.

    For over a decade I surveyed people online only to discover over half of them make up their own definitions for words, and almost none of them knew the dictionary merely contains popular definitions. Twitter, Facebook, and everyone else is encouraging the idiots to fight over the definition of stupid, while Oxford professors like Richard Dawkins, invent their own nonsense words and promote meaningless rhetoric. Fuck em, they have no clue what is coming, and nobody can warn them, because the assholes can't even share their words and play nice with a dictionary.

    My advice, is worry about yourself, and get the fuck away from idiots, preferably underground.

    This thread was started in September , 2019. Several deniers are gone and we've just been through record setting heat. A few deniers are still here--they'll hang on until egress from ones house will cause ones hair to burst into flames!!

    Denial is not the name of a river in Egypt, and deniers will deny any denial, and merely switch to blaming Global Warming on hugging trees.

    Their apathy extends to ever hearing the truth, so I wouldn't worry about it.

    Exactly! And the massive ships on the oceans transporting crap that we don't need. Thousands of them. And airplanes in the sky by the tens of thousands. Don't blame me and my SUV.
