Those Who Flunked High School Science Will Call This F**e News (Page 2): So let's all continue on our merry ways. Burn coal, burn gasoline, fly instead of taking the high speed train...

The WP is promoting nonsense. The climate has gone through cycles for eons and will (is) continue to do so. While we may be contributing to the change slightly, blaming all of this on humans is folly.

So let's all continue on our merry ways. Burn coal, burn gasoline, fly instead of taking the high speed train, don't worry about the methane coming out of capped wells and fracking, eat lots of meat rather than vegetables and grains and beans, consume, consume, consume. Just don't live on the coasts; don't settle where the water table is disappearing; don't build your house close to a forest that will burn; make your house hurricane and tornado proof.

What child m********n is it that I support?
As to god? I was told he was all-loving, all-knowing, and all-powerful. Obviously a line of bulls**t that I didn't believe.
If he knows of all the evil and he has the power to stop it and he loves us all, why doesn't he/she do something? I suspect there is no god because a loving, knowing, powerful deity would do something besides have his minions ask for money all the time.
Oh, and that's another thing, why does he always need money, especially from poor people who believe this malarkey?

Dont u support a party that encourages s*x c****e for young children. If thats the case u must be ok with it. If not then why do stand with them.
Evil in the world there is a thing called free will.
Throw in the god of this world that most people choose to serve.
If someone loved you because u made them would seem rather empty right

If the Gulf stream subsides or disappears, much of Europe will have a Siberian climate. The melting of Greenland ice is accelerating this. Don't buy any property in Northern Europe.

Would not the subsiding of the gulf stream help restore Greenland's ice?

There is some t***hs but mostly nonsense in this piece. I suggest you read the book UNSETTLED by Noonis. He is a climate scientist who served in the Obama administration. In addition there is a very big difference between pollution and "c*****e c****e". The US has done a better job at cleaning up that mess than most of the other countries. We must stop fouling our own nest. And with regard to various species near extinstions we should be emberresed. our actions here are a discrace

Mostly illogical and useless arguments. Stopping burning coal and gasoline is not going to happen. High speed trains are non-existent in the U.S. I don't know about methane coming out of capped wells and fracking. Fix the leaks maybe?? Change your diet if you want to. I have. The last two items are a personal choice. If you think that will help the planet slow down the natural course of c*****e c****e then by all means don't build near a forest or coastline. And be sure to tell those folks who have houses there to sell them and move.

Why are you posting this here? You should be posting this on China's social media! They are the big carbon emitters followed by India.

In the meantime we can sit back and relax?

It's not brought up because it's completely obvious that the earth cannot sustain the number of people on it much less further growth, but no one is doing anything about it. Why? Because they say we need more young people to pay taxes to support old retired people. That a pretty unimaginative argument.

Actually the planet is virtually empty of population. Problem is theat most of that population is crowded into cities along the coast. THe heartlands of most large population countries are empty "fly over" country. If you were to do the math 100% of the worlds population would fit in Texas surounding states, and each one would be standing on more than 100 square feet

There have been higher carbon levels in the past, so what makes you so sure that the current levels are all caused by man. And, even if it turns out that man did cause it, we are looking at something in the neighborhood of a 2 degree Celsius. Surely we can deal with that small difference.

"Surely we can deal with that small difference." HOW do you suggest we deal with it?

I wasn't talking about space; I was talking about water availability for drinking and irrigation and about preservation of forests and wetlands and ocean health.
