Voluntary Human Extinction Movement

RE: Voluntary Human Extinction Movement
Quote:If you studied it consistently you would know that mammals flourished during PETM when temperature was 10 degrees Celsius higher.
Pointing to climate conditions of the past and methods of warming of the past is not a valid method you can apply to now. This is a fallacy 



Quote:Average Earth's temperature was 6 degrees Celsius higher for the last 500 million years and life was doing just fine so generally warmer wetter climate is good for life.
Pointing to climate conditions of the past and methods of warming of the past is not a valid method you can apply to now. This is a fallacy 


Quote:Scientists say that warmer wetter climate is a net positive.
No, they don't as an absolute. They do point to the fact climate change is a net negative for humanity.

Which has fuck all to do with Russia regaining superpower status.

So you agree that global warming will benefit the Global North in general?

Quote:I mean that species can move closer to North and South poles. Only equatorial regions will probably become uninhabitable.
Nope, eventually, these effects will harm species even in the farthest regions of the earth.
No, those regions were doing fine when temperature was higher in the past.
Quote:This also assumes these species can make it there. 
Most species can.

Quote:Not necessarily. They may move there during a more habitable period only to then suffer the later drawbacks
What drawbacks?

Quote:by the way, permafrost affects things well outside its immediate region
I'm talking only about the Global North.

Quote:Now it is and in the future,  other factors will be the cause.
No, they won't

Quote:Under the climate conditions of the time by the method of warming that caused it. It can't be used as a comparison to now.... Dodgy
NASA already reports increased rainfall over Sahara.

The ones that were listed and more

I am too 


Quote:No, they won't
Yes they will

Yup which does not mean it will have the same effect it did in the past nor refutes the idea desserts will expand.

No, it's not. Based on scientific evidence most species benefit from warmer climate.

but it is also a net positive for Northern countries and life on Earth in general.

I'm not. I'm ignoring your unfounded reasoning.

Nope, and I already pointed out why and no it won't be. Despite your assertions.

You are ignoring scientific evidence so you are science denier.

Scientific fact

How does permafrost in Siberia affect other Northern countries?

It's common sense that more precipitation means less deserts and scientific evidence supports this claim.

Except I'm not denying science. I'm rejecting your flawed reasoning

This refutes nothing

No, they don't 


Quote:How does permafrost in Siberia affect other Northern countries?
Lol, are you seriously asking how Siberian permafrost affects the general north?..... Hehe


Quote:It's common sense that more precipitation means less deserts and scientific evidence supports this claim.
Commonsense isn't a great determiner of much and no science does not support this claim at all.

It's not my assertions. Scientists claim that Northern countries will benefit from global warming.
