Bill Nye's Global Meltdown on National Geographics

[Sunni Man]

Earth’s magnetic field now flips more often than ever

Does this mean our toilets will spin in the other direction?

No .....

 

[rdean]

I love right wing science.

It's so, so, uh, "Biblical".

 

[Sunni Man]

I always get a amused when left wing liberal's explain their pseudo science theories. ....... ...

 

[IsaacNewton]

Bill Nye's show on Global Meltdown is about to come on.

I was thinking right wingers could watch it and then explain all the ways it's wrong. I love right wing science expertise. It's so "different" than what we are used to.

Seen the trailer for that a couple times now. Last bit stands out, "I seriously doubt there'll be people living in 2030."

Say what? Even the most pessimistic projections don't have us wiped out by 2030.

Climae change isn't an extinction issue. And anything that happens is gonna happen very gradually giving more than enough time to adapt to the change so dunno what the hell that's about.

Global Warming IS an extinction issue, the 6th major mass extinction has already begun. The whole human race is going to get a detailed education the hard way that this is something humans have never seen and may not survive.

People you better get educated and I mean the details from the PH.D's. This isn't a 'oh we can fix it or learn to live with it' type of event.

Yellowstone erupting, or big enough asteroid hitting are exinction events. Gradual temp increase isn't. Not even a major nuclear exchange is an extinction event. Bad for the targets and vicinity and people downwind, but humanity will survive it just fine.

It doesn't matter what the agent of the change is, all that matters is the climate changing. And yes this event is going to be a mass extinction event. The public is generally unaware of and lackadaisical about this, though not all for sure, because billions have been spent to muddy the waters and make it 'appear' the science isn't settled.

It is among scientists, the people who understand what is happening.

Something wicked this way comes. Physics and chemistry cannot be ignored and they have no sympathy.

Is it just me or is he looking more and more like Mr. Rogers?

I know it's happening. And I believe the temperature forecasts and understand little changes can have big effects. But even a 10 foot sea level rise doesn't effect people far enough inland. And for much of the planet a 5 degree increase in average temperature is only a good thing. Why they quit calling it global warming because people like being warm.

Warmer oceans means many things happen more often, more hurricanes and stronger ones like we just saw with Patricia, more tornadoes, more die-offs of various species, more algae blooms making for red tides, etc. But none of these wipe out enough people to cause anything resembling a mass extinction. And quite frankly, the world could use a few billion less people if the rest are to do ok in the future. This fact has led me to wonder if climate change isn't deliberate for that reason.

One side effect, the oceans absorb billions of tons of excess CO2 a year. This is converted to carbonic acid which keeps shellfish from forming shells. All living things in the ocean are adapted to the PH levels in the oceans and have been for millions of years. Changing it slightly is catastrophic and we ALREADY see the results starting with shellfish unable to form shells while still larvae. Many plankton will be similarly affected. Its a simple equation, if the oceans die then we die as well.

The largest mass extinction took place 252 million years ago. 95% of all species went extinct, including 96% of all species in the ocean. Life dangled by the thinnest of threads. It took 5 million years for life to recover to a stable ecosystem. The cause was likely volcanism in geographic Russia. Likely this volcanism lasted 100-200 thousand years and dumped enough lava on the surface to cover the entire US a mile thick. The oceans then, like now, were populated with oxygen using organisms. After the event the entire ocean was populated with organisms that didn't use oxygen. The few that did use oxygen and survived in small pockets took, as I noted, 5 million years to flip the ocean back to an oxygenated ocean. It took life on land 20-30 million years to recover.

This isn't a small problem, it isn't something we can 'live' with, it isn't something that 'well when we need to science will figure out how to fix it'. All of what came before has to be ignored, this is utterly new to human experience and it is quickly going to get horrendous.

And a rather callous statement re 'we could do with a few billion less people. Really? Any volunteers?

I love hearing liberal pseudo science extinction theories early in the morning.

That way I can start my day off with a light hearted chuckle. .......

 

[jon_berzerk]

so the guy boils water in a microwave

and says "see water expanding when it gets warm"

what an asshole

 

[jon_berzerk]

socialist clown how fitting

for such a tool

 

[jon_berzerk]

As far as I know Nye isn't a climatologist.

he is a cookie cutter global warmest nutcase

--LOL

his shrink according to the "special"

is Arnold Schwarzenegger

that there may be part of his problem

--LOL

 

[IsaacNewton]

Again, ignore the bugwits who think science is a hoax but a flying grandpa that has magical powers HAS to be true. These are people with the mind of an 8 year old and they are as scared of the real world as an 8 year old.

Global Warming is real and accelerating and the science has been settled for the last 15 years. Get educated, by people with degrees, rather than your local pastor or talk-radio idiot.

Cool! So we can quit funding the climate change programs. I'm down with that.

 

[aris2chat]

But China will become the western world, Europe will be the far east and the US will be down under

It's so, so, uh, "Biblical".

Don't you think labeling AGW as the "#1 threat to mankind" is eschatological?

It's totally over-wrought and conjures up Hollywood images like John Cusack running for for the mountain peaks in that movie 2012.

Contracts and Cryptology

I'd be interested in a Nye proposition of the connections between changing convection currents and climate shifts perhaps as they are related to industrial gases in Earth's atmosphere.

They might even inspire me to write a short-story:

"Ted was a bureaucrat on an oil tanker which was rumoured to possess two bizarre secrets: apparently, it was haunted by a banshee and it housed a secret governmental nuclear-fusion enabled time travel device. Ted hopped in the time machine one night and travelled back to pre-Industrialization Arabia, when oil was first being mass-marketed and negotiated between clans and nation-states. To his surprise, the banshee had followed him there, and Ted wondered if this was all something about the corruption of science."

Wouldn't it be interesting if Bill Nye was a guest lecturer at a Harvard Environmental Law course on Socialist Contracts?

"Hi, I'm Bill Nye, and today, I'd like to talk to you about science research funding."

Bill Nye lent his name and reputation to a faked CO2 experiment on one of Al Gore's 24hr Marathons for Climate Change. this shows extremely poor judgement, even if it was done for the 'Noble Cause'. and it wasnt just a small exaggeration or minor edit. it was out-and-out fraud.
