A new report was just released by the US government about climate change, human causes, current effects and future health, monetary, agricultural, industrial and life style impacts.

Totally contradicts Trump's opinions...thought he could stifle all these studies by decree...

it's a matter of degree...

climate change will affect the entire world's population...

5-10K immigrants is less than the number of babies born EVERY DAY in the US (10,800)...and not all of them will be allowed in...

I'll bet a nice 5er that people are going to laugh their asses off in a hundred years about the whole global warming thing...

I doubt it'll take 100 years for that to happen ... it's only been 50 years since the alarm bells were being rung about global freezing ... we were being told that the glaciers were advancing and that we were in for a new ice age ...

No current attention is being paid to the possibility of a polar reversal ... which is far and away the more probable disaster facing the planet ...

^ yeah.

Exactly! Didn't both Hansen and McKibben tell us if we went over 350PPB we would alter the environment to the tipping point and it would literally take many centuries to correct? We passed that and are now around 400PPB.

WE ARE SCREWED!

Whats this We Chit Tonto. I am going to die of natural causes lol. Here, let me FIFY.

victor and tail found agreement that the world is over-populated...we do need to address the world's population...this climate change predicament may be the answer...

Soylent Green???

did I get that wrong? they only agreed that Texas, not the entire world, was over-populated? That aint remarkable...everybody agrees about that...

My son works down here as a auto mechanic. How many tires you want?

Piss on sea turtles, seals and sharks. I am going for the chit that matters. Bees, Spiders, etc. That way nothing can pollinate and pest insects will kill off the existing food source.

Only an idiot would believe the weather extremes we have experienced in the last say 5 years are related to any man-made scenario...

You were disagreeing with me..

No, though I do disagree with you. Ill try to make this easy to follow. When you disagree with something you should understand what you disagree with. When anyone here says look its cold there is no global warming they have not bothered to read the reports and do not understand what the know what the scientific community has said about global warming.

Now to the logical parts of your statements. Oh, that's right there aren't any.

Shoot, try the weather extremes we have experienced in the last 15-20 years or longer. I remember picking up on it in my teen years before this was even a subject in my life. What made me pick up on it was Halloween and Christmas. Since those two holidays are my absolute favorites since I was able to walk. It was in my teen years I had noticed no more long johns was needed at Halloween or Christmas time. It use to be super cold during those times. Now, Shorts and a T-shirt. Any thing else you are burning up. White Christmas was not that very rare of a thing back then. Now every thing starts blooming at very odd times and it seems winter or the length of winter is now a thing of the past. It had gotten to the point that on Christmas day it became a tradition in my younger years to where all the males in the family would go out on Christmas day and play a few games of Football. In the first 10-15 years of my life it was impossible to do that unless you liked losing fingers and toes to frostbite. We are now at the point where we need to do away with Daylight savings time and start SST, (Seasonal Savings Time).

The growth in population alone in all the years since I was the age of 10 to now is quite astounding. The laissez-faire attitudes that comes with the new folks in that population growth is even more astounding. Me, I have only added one to that growth so, I guess I am partially to blame lol. Ahh well, Time to go burn some more tires.

PS:As to the other folks (you know who you are) If you think that you can keep 1000 neon tetras in a 5 gallon aquarium, you will never have any fish. Oh, and that is even if the fish never burns tires.

Tail, it is beyond my ability to understand what portion of global warming is man made.

So if it's not man made then how is money going to stop it..?.?

LMAO! What consensus? Haven't read anything that begins to tell me how much is natural, like the end of the mini ice age, and how much is man made. Certainly both exist, but that's the rub, isn't it. Certainly a cleaner environment would be a good thing, but what should that mean? The forests are more pristine according to some, makes good fuel for fires. I'd like us to do the right thing. I think most of us want that. But what is the right thing?

Drink a glass of scotch or bourbon, have a smoke, set your alarm and go to bed, wake up in the AM, chit, shower and shave. Eat 3 meals and go to work.

Lather, rinse and repeat as many times as possible. When you can’t do that anymore you’ll get planted 6 feet under and your worries will go away.

You know what, you are right Anthony. The number of hurricanes has not increased. I reread what I wrote and realized I articulated something far different than what I was thinking. I was thinking about 2 points relating to hurricanes. 1) The number of intense hurricanes, category 4 and 5 have increased. 2) The average rainfall from hurricanes has increased. So part of my statement was wrong. I suppose I could have chose to talk about the extreme precipitation levels on the east coast as well.

Joe, there are a number of problems with the government trying to fix our climate. First of all the government is not for the people. They are for special interest groups. Also, as you stated, taxes are not problem fixes. Finally, does the government Even know what to do?

Even if we fixed the United States pollution issues the climate would still be taking serious damage. Particularly from India and China. Their pollution levels are staggering. Also the world population is non sustainable. The deforrestation of the rain forests is ongoing.

I can only add that with any crisis, someone will figure out a way to monetize it, e.g., carbon credits.

When riding on the Titanic, it make sense to go first class.

No, but remember to find out who is financing the research, e.g., tobacco use 'research' paid for by cigarette makers, as always, follow the money.

The white man wiped out those out-of-control methane factories called buffalo herds, and we've taken nothing but heat for it ever since... I'm done trying...
