I 100% agree with that…but it won’t affect mother nature’s climate.

Then we have found equal footing when it comes to climate change. This does not need to turn into a cost for you or I, it can be pushed onto the people who refuse to make better judgements. But we still need to figure out how to procure food and I don’t have an affordable answer to that.

causes of global sea level rise are thermal expansion caused by warming of the ocean (since water expands as it warms)
“They” say It’s 2 inches above some point that was arbitrarily picked years ago.
I don’t know what else could affect an island made of sand? A Hurricane /heavy rain??

After reading these comments, I have to agree with most. Climate is changing, and always will. Someone said that when we were younger, there was global cooling, acid rain, etc., etc. This is all true, however what happened? The coming ice age never happened, our crops were never destroyed by acid rain. Weather IS cyclable, it happens. And they can keep taxing us more and more to fund their research, and committees, and whatever, it’s just not going to change the weather cycles. I 100% agree with Papa Zed, we need to prepare for the future, stop building and rebuilding in areas that are volatile to said changes. How about some research on desalting ocean water to make it consumable? And how about our country investing in land in colder climates (Greenland, Canada)? All in all, man did not create climate change, nor can he stop it.
In my opinion, the only recourse that we have to stop climate change would be to pray to the Good Lord, for His intervening hand to have mercy on us all and not make our Earth unsustainable for future generations, and the wisdom to not do the same things over and over, hoping for a different outcome (rebuilding homes in volatile areas).
Just my opinion friends, love it or hate it.

I read an interesting paper on this about what happens if the tropics becomes uninhabitable. The short pithy answer is that land further from the equator that used to be frozen permafrost now becomes fertile farmland. As it has done before, it’s a cycle. But that doesn’t play as well to the Chicken Little people “The sky is falling, the sky is falling” in their pursuit of money.

Completely agree, however it does not change that this would turn the agriculture world upside down. Farm land that used to hold a lot of value becomes worthless, areas where they have never farmed before will require all kinds of work to become farmable. The US Breadbasket took generations of being built to feed the entire population and our livestock.

I hate to break it to you but most islands are not made of sand.

I kind of enjoy that the glaciers have melted and we can enjoy the northern part of North America again….
We can live without glaciers or polar ice caps.
In the earths history, polar ice caps & these glaciers are rather new phenomenons
Dozens of whitebark pine trees were covered by the ice patch for over 5,000 years, and now warming temperatures have revealed them once again.
Scientists recently discovered dozens of 5,900-year-old whitebark pines beneath a melting ice patch in the Rocky Mountains. This prehistoric forest thrived hundreds of feet above the modern timberline in the mid-Holocene period until volcanic activity triggered cooler temperatures, which ultimately encased the trees in an ice patch for thousands of years.
Where will we grow food? maybe up on the Beartooth plateau or we can once again enjoy a lush green forest?

In my own home (former) neck of the woods of Upstate NY (Great Lakes and Finger Lakes region) modern humans (the Iroquois peoples’ ancestors) have watched it go from year round ice sheets and huge glaciers to no glaciers within 1000 miles, the Great Lakes filled and the Finger Lakes all opened up. This was all in the blink of a geological eye.
Yes, I do believe that humans need to stop dumping so much crap in the air, especially India and China, but I also recognize that the earth is in a constant state of change. Do I think humans can affect that change? Yes, to some extent, I’m sure, but no humans caused the Great and the Finger Lakes to form. Mother Nature did all that on her own. Do we need to plan for the changes? For sure. We should all be ready for nature to evolve, and evolve with her. Should we make a political hammer out of it? That’s a resounding NO. These ridiculous mandates and rules are not genuine. See my thread on decimating the Rain Forest to have a summit on climate change so all the rich oligarchs and world “leaders” can fly in on their private planes and decide how they’re going to tell all the little people to live. FO to them.

see the big “*” after the “NO”, watch the whole video its not what you think.
Your being to pessimistic, its not as bad as you think. Its still bad and we are responsible but we can still change a great deal.

oh… really???
hmmm… so all those bison that used to roam around here in the US did NOT cause issues…
and all those vast herds of animals in Africa didn’t either…
and of course the odd thing… Greenland and Iceland were farming grains n such back around 900 AD…
the Norse peoples were heading west but stopped around 900 AD or so…
could it be all that stopped because of a mini ice age that came along about then???
got too cold and dangerous to continue west maybe??? lots of ice n such???
now??? hmmm… sometimes its a good thing to look at ancient history???
I see this as kinda like that politician claiming college students were being grabbed and sent to ICE prisons 1000’s of miles away… ICE prisons??? naw I don’t think so…
yes that words were KINDA true… but NONE of the students were AMERICAN!!!
many were here illegally… or on a green card/visa doing there best to undermine the US…
but stir the waters and muddy up the view…
