JJFIVEOH Posted September 14, 2017 Report Posted September 14, 2017 I recognize that there are free thinkers who have arrived at a belief in global warming, or man made global warming, of their own accord based on their own review of available evidence. I also firmly believe that a majority of the country can't think their way out of a paper bag, and are perfectly content reading no further than the headlines of articles that show up in their facebook timeline, and get their "news" from the likes of Jon Stewart. Even those moderately interested in politics and the environment are perpetually blasted by a lockstep media that won't tolerate freedom of thought. The modern media has raised a generation of sycophants. Google and facebook ensure contrary thoughts are never seen. Confirmation bias takes care of the rest. Many people have no idea why they believe in man made global warming - they just know that they do. Although I am one who believes that we should be doing everything in our power to keep this planet clean, I agree with this 100%. Instead of putting so much time and money into expounding global warming, how about we take that time and money and do something about cleaning up toxic third world cesspools. Global warming is debatable, however our rivers, streams and jungles becoming this ↓↓↓↓↓↓ is not. We can adapt to global warming, we can't adapt to destroying our natural resources. Quote
korab rules Posted September 14, 2017 Report Posted September 14, 2017 So that's the one paper disputing MMGW. Nice work. You found it. :devil: Oh - it doesn't dispute it. They start off by acknowledging all the problems in using ice bubbles, and then go on to use the data anyway. It dates back to 1996 - before they learned not to put damaging information in their articles. Isn't that Detroit? yes - in the center of the third picture you can see the thermometer stuck up its ass. Quote
LGR4GM Posted September 14, 2017 Report Posted September 14, 2017 Man made climate change is real. We passed the tipping in the late 70's when we first noticed the change. Sure the earth temp varies... on a scale of centuries or millennium not decades. That's the key. A 1 degree change occurring over 30 years as opposed to 1,000 years. With that I'm out. I will get banned if I participate any further. Quote

Wyldnwoody44 Posted October 21, 2017 Report Posted October 21, 2017 Know what's sad, I got an email today about medical equipment and shortages because a lot of it was manufactured in Puerto Rico, and they don't expect any recourse until well into 2018, it raised a lot of questions, mainly how we will just switch to a few different solutions and act like nothing happened (and people still complained about it) I just don't like humanity sometimes Quote

Doohicksie Posted January 22, 2018 Report Posted January 22, 2018 It might be our turn. 1000 acre grass fire west of Fort Worth, strong winds blowing from the NW. I hope this thing doesn't really get going. The advantage of fighting fires here versus California is that the land is flat (mostly) so equipment can get where they need to be. The two major freeways (I-20 and I-30) are closed west of Ft Worth and the local areas have been evacuated. Quote
Doohicksie Posted January 22, 2018 Report Posted January 22, 2018 For reference, I live a little south of Edgecliff Village toward the bottom right of the map. Quote

Hope the smoke doesn't get too bad. Quote
Doohicksie Posted January 23, 2018 Report Posted January 23, 2018 Up to 2000 acres burned, but they're reporting the forward progress has been stopped. Also the wind which was 20+ mph when the fire started, is down to single digit speeds now. You can smell it though. Strong smell of burning everywhere. Quote

But can you smell anything related to the fire? Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted January 24, 2018 Report Posted January 24, 2018 Coastal BC and Alaska were under a tsunami watch yesterday after an earthquake out in the Pacific. Those things are very scary, especially since they don't llok like t hat much. Nothing like in the movies. The sheer power is just something else. Fortunately, nothing materialised. At last check anyway. Quote

Those things are very scary, especially since they don't llok like t hat much. Nothing like in the movies. The sheer power is just something else. Fortunately, nothing materialised. At last check anyway. I was in Tokyo for the March 2011 earthquake. Then we went to the Tsunami devastated region (City of Ishinomaki, to be specific) for relief work in Oct '11 and March '12. After spending time up there I got a better sense of what it must have been like post-WW II Dresden or Tokyo where the neighborhoods were just wiped out entirely except for a random structure here or there. I'll never forget it. Quote
ubkev Posted May 7, 2018 Report Posted May 7, 2018 Kilauea erupting again. Destroying homes again. Why live there? Probably because when you don't have lava in your living room it's freaking awesome. Do they sell volcano insurance like they sell flood insurance? Does FEMA have a volcano map? Quote
josie Posted May 7, 2018 Report Posted May 7, 2018 Kilauea erupting again. Destroying homes again. Why live there? Probably because when you don't have lava in your living room it's freaking awesome. Do they sell volcano insurance like they sell flood insurance? Does FEMA have a volcano map? Yes volcanic eruption insurance exists, at least as far as I know in the US (hawaii, washington, wherever else). My friends whose wedding we attended this weekend are headed to Hawaii tomorrow for their 2 week honeymoon- they are spending their first week and a half on Kauai but then had the second half of the last week on the big island... I'm curious to see how it affects their trip- given that Hawaii is a very tourism based economy. I guess it's kinda like booking a trip in the Caribbean during August... you don't EXPECT a hurricane, but you're in the right area for one... hope you have travel insurance and a backup plan. Quote
