About The Author
Foreigners are 🎽 ng the country!!!
Yea, I live in Tucson AZ…it got to 105 this month! Seriously 105! Now I did check, and in 1970 in June it got to over 110, but we won’t talk about that… today the high in Tucson is 99! 99! …wait…the temp is actually going down.. forget what I just said…
My house isn’t burning down, I got outside bicycling and hiking, I am not dying of heat, my fig trees, grapes, oranges, lemons, grapefruit trees are all thriving…but that not the point….global warming, climate change, the end..the end….
I am glad I am not a sheep and check what rubbish the news feeds us… I know this may be radical, but doesn’t it always get hotter in the summer….?
Hey Ali, were you alive last century? Maybe do some research putz.
Man made climate change is the biggest hoax in all human history
Amazing quality
I dont know about you but i have no idea how to 'attack" a wind driven wildfire burning hot enough to melt steel
More taxes and less freedom always seems to be the democrats answer to everything.
I JUST FEEL SORRY FOR WILDLIFE 😢😢
I HEARD PEOPLE WHO DOES NOT BELIEVE IN CLIMATE CHANGE, THEY COURSED😬😬😬😬😬
I fear it's too late. We knew this was coming in the 80s & 90s. Yet we still use petroleum to make single use plastics.
Thank goodness for clean, cheap and plentiful fossil fuels! Really dude – your gut is wrenched? Adapt to Gorebal Warming you bonehead!
So much more to come. It has barely just begun.
Climate change or is it Bible prophecy I tend to think it's more Bible prophecy
No matter what we do there's no stopping what's coming except Jesus Christ as your lord and savior
The earth changes and has always changed. The climate hoax is a money grab and people aren’t buying it.
Let’s get something clear: The earth – this third rock from the sun – is not in danger. It’s not going anywhere. It will continue hurtling through space until our star goes supernova but our species will be gone long before that happens. What we’re doing to the various ecosystems of this planet will certainly leave it a lot less hospitable to complex life forms just like the 10 km wide asteroid did that struck about 66 million years ago. But life recovered and the earth was again able to support complex life, some of which evolved into what we are today. As for humans, the outcome is a little more doubtful. As the worst consequences of the climate crisis kick in, human civilization that emerged out of about 8 thousand years of relative climate stability will likely be brought down and as for our species, our numbers will be shaved back quite dramatically. And it is unlikely that those survivors will be able to rebuild what will have been lost. Let’s keep in mind that this didn’t have to happen. We were given fair warning more than 30 years ago.
To those who claim, as many do, that the climate crisis is some kind of hoax, I have to ask exactly when this hoax, this vast global conspiracy (and that's what it would have to be), might have started.
Did it start when James Hansen testified before the United States Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources on June 23, 1988?
Did it start when the IPCC was first formed in 1985?
Did it start in 1965 when Lyndon Johnson’s science advisory committee sent him a report entitled Restoring the Quality of Our Environment which warned of the danger of human caused climate change?
Did it start when Charles Keeling first produced data showing that carbon dioxide levels were rising steadily in what became known as the "Keeling Curve"?
Did it start when Svante Arrhenius first published the results of his studies (On the Influence of Carbonic Acid in the Air upon the Temperature of the Ground) into the effect of CO2 concentrations on the earth's climate in 1896?
Did it start when John Tyndall first correctly measured the relative infrared absorptive powers of various greenhouse gases including water vapour, carbon dioxide and methane in 1859?
Did it start when Eunice Foote conducted early work on the warming effect of the sun on air, including how this was increased by carbon dioxide which was presented at the American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting in 1856?
Or did it start when in 1824 Joseph Fourier concluded that the climate of the earth is kept warmer than it would be based on its distance from the sun because because its atmosphere acts as an insulator?
Please help me out here because I would really like to know when this dangerous conspiracy actually began?
By volume, the dry air in Earth's atmosphere is about 78.08 percent nitrogen, 20.95 percent oxygen, and 0.93 percent argon, adding up to 99.96 percent. A brew of trace gases accounts for the other approximately 0.04 percent, including the greenhouse gases carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and ozone. To think that a small increase (200 parts per million in the last hundred years) of carbon dioxide would affect the weather is absurd.
Stop. Burning. Fossil. Fuels.
Or it’s the solar storm effect on the weakening magnetic field.
We've never had heat waves or hot summers ever before….
"Attack the root cause of climate change"…: too many humans, using too many natural resources, and producing too much pollution, GHGs, and, most importantly–HEAT, from burning fossil fuels and the Greenhouse effect from the GHGs increasing solar heat retention. Our dear Ole Joe, whose physical condition should scare the crap out of anyone, God forbid his adversary—Our Mad King (wannabe) Donald, neither really have a clue about how much existential danger humans are facing with climate collapse. Want to see the truth? Go to the EU's fabulous "Copernicus Climate Change Service's" Climate Pulse page to see the graphs of air and sea temperature increases over 50 yrs. and the day to day comparisons for the same dates. They have been running between 0.18-0.30 daily for the last month, which could mean a 1 degC increase in less than 5 yrs., so 2 degC in less than 10yrs. If we think it's hot and humid now, just wait and see what 3.0 degC does! And the real tragedy is that no politicos have the nerve to tell the general public what's coming. All the rest is just more BS.
Let me help you out…it’s not climate change or a climate crisis….what humans have done to the planet is called terraforming…humans are changing the planet atmosphere from one that can support human life to one that can not. And to use a baseball term, the effect of terraforming is just getting warmed up, the worst is yet to come. And if your wonder when that will be, well it’s later than you think….the vast majority of children in currently elementary school will never see the age of 50.
A HOT NEW WORLD
[Borrowed from the beautiful song: A Whole New World. Z. Ward]
.
You can’t run from the world.
It’s warming, ice-melting, dead-ended.
Tell me Princess- would you call this self-genocide?
Come on man- open your eyes!
Man’s greedy blunder after blunder-
over, sideways, and under climate change, earth-wide!
.
A hot new world.
It depends on your point of view.
Some on the Right tell us NO! And where to go.
You tree-hugging liberal! While we’re screaming…
.
It’s a hot new world!
The hottest days we never knew.
Come on people, don’t you see!
It’s crystal clear
that I’m in a hot new world with you.
The hottest days we ever knew!
Rising seas, that sinking feeling.
Rain forests burning, temperatures soaring
greenhouse gasses filling the sky.
.
It’s a hot new world.
Why can’t we all just see?
It’s so bizarre to think we’ve come this far.
We can’t go back to where it’s safe to be.
We need new thinking to pursue.
You can’t run anywhere!
There’s no time to spare!
I’m sorry my child, this world we left for you.
.
It’s a hot new world
And you know it’s true.
Our world is dying, and there’s nowhere else to go.
Our planet is screaming.
.
It’s a hot new world
We need a new plan if we are to survive
There are fires everywhere!
There is no time to spare.
We’re living on a wing and a prayer.
It’s time to fix this hot new world, with you.
A quick and easy fix to stop Global Warming.
Turn off all air conditioners in government buildings worldwide – immediately. This will reduce global warming emissions by 10% to 15% immediately.
The World’s Elite’s are destroying the Earth with their Air Conditioners.
For 40 years, The World’s Elites have selfishly used Air Conditioners, which pump roughly 117 million metric tons of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere every year. A massive amount of Annual Global Warming Gasses!
Should The World’s Elites be allowed to create 4% of the Annual Global Warming Gasses, only to prevent a little natural perpetration? Can’t they sweat like the rest of us? They don’t own the Earth!
Seems crazy that the World’s Elite Population should be allowed to raise the temperatures and flood the earth, just because they’re afraid to sweat. Their grandparents lived without air conditioning just fine. And they can too, like the rest of us.
The majority of the world, and all of the poor, still live without air conditioning. So should they!
All Governments should pass laws immediately which require all government buildings to permanently shut down all air conditioners until the Out-of-Control Global Warming Gas Production is rectified. Then they should go after the Elite’s Air Conditioners – at their homes and in their offices.
We should all press hard against the Elite’s use of Air Conditioning! They should do their part to save our planet. Shut-Down all of their Air Conditioners now!
Climate deniers will cry and cry that it isn’t real until the extreme weather is blatant. Then they’ll claim it’s too late or come up with another conspiracy. The one that’s gaining traction right now is that the government is controlling the weather. Truly geniuses these people.
