so the globe doesn't care about US, it cares about the plants
Most humans at least care about themselves, but even that is not unanimous.
In any case, I think it's in my own best interest to care about humanity and the world.
I'd like humanity to be humane and the world to keep being hospitable.
I can do two things at the same time; I concentrate on what improves my own life,
while also doing my part in improving humanity and the world, because they AFFECT my own life.
Focusing on making more money is futile, if the world around me turns to shit.
I cannot buy a ticket to a better world. Elon Musk seems to think he can (Mars),
but he is stupid that way. We would need to completely destroy Earth, for Mars
to suck less.
You don't practice what you preach. You are focusing on the world around you more than me. You are always talking about how you want to shape your country to make lazy people work and to keep out immigrants. The difference between you and me is that your priorities for the world are shaped by learned animosity towards other poor and powerless people, who are just trying to survive under difficult circumstances, while my priorities for the world are focusing on the wealthy and powerful people,
who actually have a choice in the circumstances they create, for themselves and EVERYONE ELSE.
I can't get it to open as i don't pay for the service but there is a new article out now about climate change.

have a flood? Kill the officials in charge
It's just a fact, and the sooner people start accepting facts - or provide verifiable data that can be held to peer review to show they are not facts, the sooner we can get past this silly debate.
The amount of greenhouse gasses emitted today, and every day is extremely large. Meanwhile the atmosphere is not. Sure, it looks infinite on a clear day, but fully half of that air is packed within the first 18,000 feet - or 3 miles. That's a distance a reasonably healthy child could walk if it were not straight up.
The atmosphere we live in is a lot less than we perceive it to be with our eyes, and the number of tons of greenhouse gasses greatly affects the capture of heat. That's not subject to serious debate. It's simply a fact. And for one to deny it only demonstrates their lack of reason.
Nothings perfect but this climate change thing is alot of bs.
It was global cooling then global warming and since that didn't fit, they call it climate change.
If your government invested public money into renewable energy and kept ownership of the production, you would have a massive return on investment for the public.
Now it's just wealthy renewable energy moguls competing with wealthy fossil fuel moguls. YOU PERSONALLY supported that system and now you argue against it?
Who gets rich of fossil fuels? In capitalism, there is always someone on the end
getting rich of EVERYTHING, no matter if it's good or bad.
That's why I support a specific version of socialism, that benefits the public
with everything good and eliminates as much as possible everything bad.
I call it social capitalism; democratic control over the capital, the means of production and labor. When you go to work, democracy stops and you are in a dictatorship.
I support democracy, not dictatorships. Stop supporting FEUDALISM!
You don't care about a million times worse pollution, when fossil fuels are causing it,
so stop using it as an argument to push those fossil fuels.
Global cooling was one article decades ago, before decades of reality statistically confirmed global warming. They changed the term to climate change, because it's just the GLOBAL AVERAGE temperature going up. That can cause fluctuations in weather patterns other than just warming. It can cause floods here, droughts there, and all sorts of other extreme weather including short local periods of extreme cold. Mostly those cold periods are getting rare, but there is a possibility of them returning.
The global saline gulfstream is being reduced by melting water from all the land-ice melting away. When that gulfstream stops, no more cold water is transported to the equator and no more warm water is transported to the arctic. That makes the warm areas warmer and the cold areas colder. It's possible that Scandinavian countries get colder and South American countries even warmer. That's why it's called 'climate change', because global warming IS JUST AN AVERAGE.

You are the first person I ever heard from who ever mentioned global cooling in this current era. That must be a joke. If not, it removes your opinion from any serious conversation about the topic.

they call it a conjecture but if you remember the dinosaurs were thought to be made extinct by volcano emissions not letting the sun in allowing the earth to cool
The funny thing is, the government thinks our memorys are to short. they try to put all knowledge online so it can be changed with a mouse clic and no one can verify something they saw days before.much less decades .
I had the foresite to save alot of books and such in my youth and I am so glad I did.
Almost no one remembers Y2K. A BIG bogus bunch of shit that cost the world millions of dollars to turn out to be a big nothing. global cooling, Y2K, now, climate change. which hoax will you fall for today?
of anthropogenic WARMING dominated the peer-reviewed literature even then.
only registered users can see external links
It's just propaganda from big oil, to keep pointing to 'global cooling'.
We now have over 50 years of additional data, clearly showing a global average temperature INCREASE, that can only be explained by emissions of greenhouse gases from the use of fossil fuels, breeding of livestock and by the reduced capacity of nature to absorb greenhouse gases due to the destruction of forests.
Actually, there is lots of evidence for the extinction of the dinosaurs having been caused by a huge asteroid or comet slamming into the Yucatán Peninsula 65 million years ago, blocking sunlight, changing the climate and setting off global wildfires.
It left the Chicxulub Crater, which is 125-mile-wide. Asteroids and comets have relatively large abundances of iridium. There is a layer of iridium-peppered rock,
65 million years old, all over the world, but with the highest concentrations of iridium, the closest to the impact site. Volcanoes don't contain high concentrations of iridium.
True, volcano eruptions can also affect the climate, which is why they need to be accounted for in climate change statistics. They can measure the effects that the Krakatoa eruption of 1883 had on the climate. It cooled the entire Earth by an average of 0.6°C for months.
Y2K wasn't bogus or a hoax, it was just fixed by IT specialists, by adding two digits
to the dates in all the important software. Easy, but damn important.
Before you mention it; the hole in the ozone layer is now slowly shrinking,
because the world heavily regulated chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).
Any other misinformation? DAMN!
And no one has ever responded to a basic question alot of folks have.
IF the global cooling and other stuff was misinformation, how do we know we are getting facts in regard to the latest rage of climate change? 20 years from now i could be vindicated as it could be discovered the Luminati was behind it all!
I know,i am being silly with the luminati thing but just used it for a example.
The misinformation is the claim that global cooling was just as widely accepted as global warming. It wasn't in the 1970's and it certainly isn't now.
If the Illuminati tried to meddle with temperature data, that would be identified by everyone and anyone involved. Temperature measurement data is recorded everywhere and can be checked against lots of other measurements, history and just the memory of people. They would have to break in to every public and private meteorology organization in the world, to fake the data, which would then not agree with books, newspapers, photographs, etc. The data is correct. Do you agree or not? Then it's just a matter of statistics. The trend is just apparent, any way you look at it. All the measurements go up, no matter if you look at the poles or the equator or you backyard. Sometimes you deny this fact itself, sometimes you acknowledge it, but claim it is a natural trend. Well, to justify a natural trend, you need to explain not just the temperature rising, but also the carbon dioxide concentration rising. Is the upwards trend in the carbon dioxide concentration also faked by the Illuminati? Every laboratory worth a dime can just measure it, whenever they feel like it and come to a very similar carbon dioxide concentration, of around 422.10 ppm today. Can that be faked? Or were all the lower measurements in history faked?
I'm curious how you explain that two sets of data, that can be verified in millions of ways, are faked.
Can they fake my decades old memories and photographs of my brother and me playing in the snow, making snow forts and snowmen, having snowball fights and skating, most winters? Just like me, many people have photos and memories of white Christmases and icy new-years. There are records and scars of broken bones due to winter weather. All of that history, slowly changing to the new normal today, where I hardly need a winter coat. People had snow-tires and snow-chains in my youth, while I recently considered if I still need all-weather tires or just rely on summer-tires. Can the Illuminati fake all of that?
Those are all things happening in one life-time. For everything else, I do have to rely on science. That doesn't mean you have to TRUST science. You don't, you VERIFY science, against all your data and all your knowledge. If their information or deduction is wrong, it wouldn't be difficult to see. I have enough scientific experience to identify it being wrong enough to fake a conclusion. There are tens of millions of people with more scientific experience than me to identify mistakes or meddling. Are all those people dumb or dishonest? Are they all bribed by the the Illuminati? Why would all those people want to believe or accept bribes to lie about a global problem of such impact to everyone's lives? Don't you think I have better things to do? There are enough problems to solve already. I wouldn't want to believe this, I just cannot help to accept it, because reality itself demonstrates
it's the truth.
Scientists are often wrong, that's why science is a process of checking each other. Here is an example of a science article being wrong and one scientist looking over it and seeing many mistakes in just minutes.

She looks at climate science too. She considers most of it to be too careful.
There are millions like her. There are only a few that say climate change is wrong and the use your arguments; simplistic bullshit that only fools people like you.
The fact that you must cling to the idea that they once suspected it was caused by car exhaust, and can't seem to get past that it wasn't 100% accurate, and you can't seem to have a flexible mind to accommodate new information is why I have to completely dismiss your ideas. Nobody had the proof of a large meteorite that struck and so obviously they had other ideas about dinosaur extinction. Scientists adapt to new information. You should too.
But then you start adding that crap about how "the government...", as if there was a single entity that is out to get us all in some grand conspiracy.
Too bad you didn't use your "foresite" and reading to learn how the word foresight is constructed. Too bad you don't realize that the millions were spend prior to Y2000 to preemptively *correct* the problems that could occur if nothing was done. It was a "big nothing" because people addressed the problem. Unless of course you believe the weirdos that were saying that at midnight planes would fall out of the sky.
This all goes back to my initial remark. It doesn't matter what you believe or not. Science has established facts as well as human beings are able to establish. Anecdotes about them being wrong are laughable. If you want your ideas taken with any seriousness, provide verifiable data. A few little random "factiods" doesn't cut it.
You don't know a damn bit more than anyone else.you just know what you believe because someone with a degree and some funding tells you this and this and you eat it up.
Think vacuum cleaner salesman, same as a scientist ,trying sell a vacuum or trying to sell a idea, theory, for more research funding.
How many of these experts are working for free or expenses only?
good for you.
so you hadn't been out of college long before i was in college learning how to write computer language and such
They refuse to believe facts that debunk their beliefs, they don't have any facts that support their believes.
All over Eastern Europe are now huge areas flooded from ridiculous amounts of rain. That can happen in the US too.

How about hurricanes, extreme heat, wildfires and drought?
It's not just your own damage that impacts you.
If your countrymen get flooded, that impacts you too.
It will impact your economy and how much taxes you pay.
Damage to infrastructure needs to be paid for, by you too.
It affects the political choices that affect you too.
It impacts the prices you pay for food, water and power.
And even the availability of food, water and power.
You're not alone. They faith of all people is connected.
They keep flipping from point 1 to point 3:
1) Nothing is happening
2) OK, something is happening, but it's natural
3) OK, maybe humanity is causing it, but we cannot do anything about it
I say to that:
1) Really? Am I imagining things?
2) Oh? How then?
3) Why? Why can't we stop causing it? Are we lemmings?
When something is true, you shouldn't have to flip between arguments.
Which side is consistent and has the answers to the questions?
I guess you are at point 2) or 3)
I think in solutions, preferring to prevent the harm, instead of imagining
a place to hide, when the world turns against us for destroying it.
Humanity has survived by solving problems. Should we stop doing that
just because some wealthy assholes make a lot of money from fossil fuels?
Why? Wealthy assholes can make money from renewables too.

"...there’s no end in sight to triple-digit days in the forecast."
Arizona is hot,dry as a popcorn fart and does not even allow people to have anything on their property that holds water from rain.
been that way for a while.
I'm very happy to live in a mild climate.
Strange how so many climate change deniers live in such hot states.
They literally feel the results every summer, but they chose not to believe it.
I can't help but laugh when I see walter, kinda like looking in the mirror.

Jeff Dunham is very funny. Nice that we both enjoy it.
Can you also enjoy Jim Jefferies, or is he too liberal?
How about Ricky Gervais? Is he anti-woke enough already?
Even penis sheath wearing Papuas have heard of these.

by my girlfriend, who didn't want it to ruin a nice day out.
I made a hint about something worsening from climate chance, to which he replied that all of climate chance was recently debunked, by the Technical University of Delft, something about soil composition not matching. So, later, I spend an hour searching the internet for any news or scientific article about that. I couldn't find anything even loosely related to that. So, it was just another 'trust me bro'.
If there is science debunking climate change, that will be all over the news 24 hours later.
It days later now, and I'm still waiting.
I'm not allowed to ask him for the article, because it's her side of the family.
Has anyone heard of such a topic not matching with climate change, recently?

Soil can also influence climate on a smaller scale. Soils that are wetter or denser hold heat and stabilize the surroundings from temperature changes more so than drier, looser soils. The temperature in deserts may increase by more than 60°F during the course of a day.

The temperature of dry climates or above dry land definitely fluctuates more than wet climates or above wet lands.
If the soil composition changes over time, that can have an effect on the climate.
One example is when the Russian tundra isn't frozen as much anymore. That starts a rotting process that releases CO2 and CH4. It's one of the 'tipping points'.
It was fun. There was a learning curve though, because there is no real dashboard to speak of and except for the signals and drive selector, everything is on that center display.
Driving itself is a breeze. The acceleration is eye-watering. That was the fun part.
It's practical enough too. I could charge it 100 ft from my house, while I need to drive several miles for a gas-station with somewhat acceptable prices.
The Tesla Supercharger is also closer to my house than that gas-station.
It could charge the battery from 60% to 80% in 5 minutes. And it was cheap.
Of course, it's a very expensive car. I won't buy it, unless I become a lot richer.
Most people don't buy a Tesla, but have it leased with their job. Not my job though.
The car is 50% gimmick. Most of the price is related to all the sensors and the
eye-watering acceleration. If they dropped all the nonsense and just delivered the
sensible type of car, that I drive now, it could be very similar in price.
Did you try the self drive?
I have found a situation where the self drive or at least assisted driving is a good thing.
A friends daughter has Pots.

So her husband chose to buy a Tesla for their new car and there is a way to program different "modes" for driving.
He programmed in a " Casey" mode,her name, when she drives, if she lets go of the wheel for more than like 2 seconds, the car starts talking" Casey,are you ok?" and then buzzers go off and the car slows down and the flasher turn on, if no response it pulls it's self over to the side of the road and stops.
It has all the sensors though. It shows all cars, in a wide radius on screen.
It even distinguishes cars, trucks and motorbikes. It shows a light for them braking.
It does have adaptive cruise control, but I've had that before, in a rental.
It was set on one pedal regenerative braking. I have touched the actual braking pedal only a few times.
On a 60 mph straight highway, with trajectory control, it was practical, but very boring.
Yeah, it kept warning me, with 'bing bing bing' (lol) and no idea what for.
And it saw a 40 mph sign on the other lane and thought I was speeding.
No matter how rich I was, and how much luxury and service I could afford in a car,
they can keep that 'service' OUT! Show the speed limit, but shut the fuck up!
Really funny when the damn thing is UPSIDE DOWN in the middle of the road where it slid and flipped over on ice.
That's some creative design. I never saw anything like it.
Did they do that voice because of Knight Rider?
I'm used to navigation talking, but the car itself... No thank you.
My first navigation system was a PDA with external GPS.
You could install many different voices on it.
I installed our Dutch porn-star Kim Holland on it.
What she had recorded wasn't X-rated, but pretty erotic.
I also used voices from someone imitating our soccer coach
Johan Cruijff and the soccer brothers Frank and Ronald de Boer.
You can unlock more power but in AU its 10k same price as unlocking the auto drive, so that's all not unlocked in theirs's either.
Has some little nic nac features, well heaps of them, like you can make the horn many of the std sounds or you can upload one into the car. I tried to convince then to load in a machine gun mp3, they wouldn't be in it, but if it was mine it would be the first thing I would do 😁
A while back auto steer was unlocked for free, it works ok but you have to keep engaging with the steering wheel from time to time, its a bit annoying really I find holding onto the wheel a better option.
Auto pilot over here can only work on highways, I believe in America & Europe it works every where, I might not be correct on that.
One really cool feature of it, using your app in a shopping center, you can have the car come to you, that would be pretty cool
I've seen a Model 3 pull away once. That was not 'acceleration', that was instant speed.
It seems like the law gets an extra job, every time Tesla invents a new gimmick.
Or can it wait until someone is upside down in a ditch, for trying to avoid what they think is another mass shooter? It does open up traffic nicely though.
Maybe the 3 has free auto steer and it's an option on the Y.
It's only legal in The Netherlands if you're in it, and paying attention.
That would be even more boring on the freeway than just steering.
It's not allowed to have the car drive alone.
That would create insurance and legal liability issues.
It's also creating dilemmas like is the car supposed to protect the owner at all cost
or should it prioritize the lives of multiple pedestrians over the life of the owner.
That's not important at crawling speed, but it's an issue that they are already
struggling with.
That screen asks for too much of the driver's attention.
They can compensate the design choice of leaving out a dashboard,
or they can do what car builders have optimized in the last 100 years.
I would not buy a Tesla, I would buy an electric car, which is 100% car.
I wouldn't want to daily drive something that's 50% gimmick.
That one is $121.397 in my country.
But, I've seen aftermarket instrument clusters, for all models.
That's a sign that people are getting annoyed with that design choice.
He told me about how it has seat and steering and mirror settings programmed for him and his wife. If they have the dog with them and need to go in a store,it has "pet mode" where the screen says "I am fine,it is xx degrees in here".
Also has a "keep" mode for keeping your grocerys from getting to hot as you run other errands. It still has it's temp tag and he has the self drive for 30 days free.8000 dollar option to leave it on. He turned it on, and a few miles down the road it made a panic stop for a car crossing a 1/4 mile ahead of him,so he turned it off.
said he would not buy it.
Alot of thought went into the design for sure.
