What, like the predicted increase in hurricanes that didn't happen?
I said, "happening to us RIGHT NOW." Maybe it's a reading comprehension issue with you?

Fake News, Camus.
What happened was, The Left Benghazi'd the Pizzagate flottila of US destroyers over there to project an image of raising sea levels...and this, combined with Obama's policy of dumping hallucinogens in their municipal drinking water (to keep them from testifying about his birth in islamistan) caused those people to flee, en masse..to american voting booths where they were instructed by Hitlery's email servers to voter fraud the shit out of the 2016 election...and not a single one of those assholes voted Trump...did you know that? Did you know that?

Look it up ourselves? You mean looking at what scientists are telling us?
Or do you mean that we should look it up in some popular fiction?
Oh right I get it now, what you really mean is cherry pick some data out of context and exaggerate it so that you don't have to give a shit about how you're fucking things up for everyone else.

No, I'm pointing out that RIGHT NOW we're supposed to be having more hurricanes due to climate change, but we're not. If their predictions were correct, I'd take it more seriously. If they didn't have to go back and fudge historical temperature records to make their case, I'd take it more seriously.

Were wheat or corn the staple crops back then? Were there even humans to go extinct? Because those are the issues, not sea level. If our staple crops cannot survive the rise in temperature, our future doesn't look so grand.
This is why simply knowing a fact is not the same as having an understanding of the problem. Unfortunately for you, while you can google facts and tables, you cannot google comprehension. Understanding the problem is about synthesizing the information into a likely sequence of events, drawing from a wide range of knowledge. Higher global temperatures have many, many ramifications, and it's obvious you're not considering many of them.

That's exactly the same thing you just said, except backwards, lol. I'm not talking about what ISN'T happening right now, Alpha. I'm talking about what IS. You follow?

"Some stories"? This stuff was put forth by real scientists, just like the ones crying global warming today.

Well then, by all means, continue to just go with whatever scenario feels the most comfortable to you. [emoji6]

Yes, and you still don't have a good response.

Not really. You say it but give no examples. I'm guessing they're not very good, or you'd be happy to actually list some of them and talk about them, rather than being terribly mysterious about it.

You need to document this from the IPCC reports and/or predictions. As far as I know, the frequency of hurricanes was not predicted to increase due to GW, but only their intensity. And, besides, the World is still very much in the previews as far as climate change is concerned.
