Global Warming

Global climate change: "Global Warming" is happening.
Why it is happening the way it is is what people put up to interpretation. I for one see a mountain of compelling evidence that humans are having a large negative impact on the Earth's climate. Quote:"An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity. "
Negative with relation to ourselves sure. I wouldn't go so far as to call a crusade to save Gaia. More a dedicated campaign to save ourselves a serious amount of trouble.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Based on the climate trends over time compared to the extremely schizophrenic sudden Alaskan front pushing from the north, I can't tell if we're in El Nino or La Nina anymore. You thought it was bad down there? Try fishing in it. Waves that take you another 8 feet in the air if not more. With salmon so many you almost can't get the line up. And when you do: you'll shit bricks there are so many salmon. "too many fish. price dropped to $1.50. no breaks. exhausted. ran out of totes. Breakfast 5:30. Dinner 2:00 next day. Hundreds of fish in one net. thousands of fish. Truck broke. So many fish. they were falling out of the net. insane. nightmare. over 50 totes. lost count. so many fish."-Nicole, my niece.

Keep on like that and I'll spend my next paycheck to do arson to some annoying fishing boats.
 And yes, I sure as hell can find a way to set harvested fish on fire. FFFF... This is global warming thread, not "I fish and make money." You post that stuff on Google+ kiddo. /grumpy old man mode off... or is it? 
I'm just getting out of climate denying. Can anyone recommend any books to me?

The truth is, the earth will be fine, no matter what we do to it. The human race, however, could be fucked.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

It is confusing that the information is getting skewed and used for political gain and revenue raising. some sources say the global temps are lowering and sunspot activity is getting less in line with the 'Mini ice age' (1600s I think).
It IS the height of arrogance that mankind thinks that he is affecting the global temperatures in a meaningful way. He IS shitting in his own nests and the temperatures of cities ARE rising so is this the anthropogenic global warming we are talking about?? If so?? So what?? Humans are fucked if they let it continue but by the time they get their collective shit together the Climate will have changed to something else and the cities will be no more. *Is put in mind of Petra and Babylon et al "The Universe is run by the complex interweaving of three elements: energy, matter, and enlightened self-interest." G'Kar-B5
I heavily doubt if climate change progresses unchecked that man will be fucked over.
In fact, I expect man will adapt after much death and consumption of energy supplies. But man will adapt. A crowd of uneducated, early humans got through the ice age just fine. What makes you think at least a crowd of forward thinking humans won't get through the next global fu-bar? Personally, I like our current climate as it is and see it necessary to take steps to preserve it. |
