Climate Change Obsession Is a Real Mental Disorder

[petro]

I'll go with in recent human history the planet was a giant icebox and woolly mammoths roamed the earth's glaciers as far south as today's Los Angeles. Why did the earth warm up so much in such a short time? Were humans what caused it or was it natural volcanic and solar activity?

My whole landscape in the north was carved by the receding ice down to the granite which left countless lakes and rivers and formed the Great Lakes. It must have been an impressive site and any humans witnessing it probably thought it was the end of the world. Yet they adapted and thrived in the new landscape.
My house currently sits where a mile of ice once stood. Thanks to a major change in the climate. The Fear Porn of it being the end of the world and Earth will become Dune does get rather tiresome.

To think man can affect weather in any kind of meaningful way is the epitome of ignorance and arrogance.

That's the "DERP! DERP! IF I JUST REFUSE TO BELIEVE SOMETHING, IT DOESN"T EXIST! DERRRRRRP!" tactic.

It identifies a hardcore and hopelessly brainwashed cult imbecile.

 

[mamooth]

Reality is the earth's climate has been going through warming and cooling cycles since long before humans ever existed.

That's the "DERP! DERP! CLIMATE CHANGED NATURALLY BEFORE, SO HUMANS CAN'T CHANGE CLIMATE!" dumb argument.

It's only a little less stupid than the previous idiot argument. It's every bit as stupid as saying "DERP! FOREST FIRES USED TO ALL BE NATURAL, SO HUMANS CAN'T CAUSE FOREST FIRES!".

 

[mamooth]

Pretty much nailed it. No amount of talk or solar panels on your roof is going to change the fact it gets hot in summer.

And this is the "COLLECTIVE ACTION IS USELESS, BECAUSE ONE LITTLE BIT IS INSIGNIFICANT!" argument that the disgustingly selfish just adore. It's how they justify being selfish.

 

[mamooth]

Control of everything, that is all.

And this is the "DERP! DERP! CONSPIRACY! Q-CULT! PEDOS! SOCIALISTS!" ranting that the lowest sort of scum clings to, in order to justify their calls for brownshirt violence.

We're pretty much running through all of the stupid and immoral denier arguments here.

You've been duped. Fix that.

I'll lay it out for ya plain and simple, brah:

To think man can affect weather in any kind of meaningful way is the epitome of ignorance and arrogance.

The weather is going to do what it wants to, and man cannot do a damn thing about it. It's just a fact of life.

WE have made it worse. Yes, Mother Nature is a free wheeling being but we can either help it or hinder it. Up until about 1973, we did everything we could to hurt it. I remember the black snow, the lung diseases from people that never set foot in a Coal Mine. I remember the rivers smelling. How about the river just outside of DC that if it weren't for fear of being swallowed up by all the dead fish, you could almost walk across it. Or our Rivers here flowing yellow from Sulfur from the various mines.

You are either too young or too poorly educated to understand. But we ARE dealing with it with or without you.

Lol! I wonder how many of the man made climate change advocates even know the reason it gets hot in summer is because of the tilt of the earth on its axis as it orbits the sun. I bet not many of them.

It IS a mental disorder and people are sick and tired of it!

I learned that in the 2nd grade. You assume that everyone slept through the science classes their whole life and tuned into Fruitcake News and Conspiracy Central like you did.

If that were true, I would see people moving to some of the deserted islands around east Japan where they get some gawd offul tidal waves almost every year. I suggest you pack your bags and your tent and move there. BTW, there is no Internet there, only wet things. Sometimes wetter than usual.

That's NOT the weather!

Being environmentally conscious is 1 thing, thinking man can effect the weather is another.

I love how they are making their children neurotic. What could possibly go wrong with that?

I just bet you did, indoctrinated boi.

Everything, dingus, everything. Just look at this kid in this thread.

 

[ding]

But what about those poor villagers living at sea level?

What about them? If you landed on their shore they'd probably eat you and your family after cooking you on an open fire.

A "mental disorder"???
When people will say anything... no matter how fucking stupid.

It's the title of the article.

Get a grip.

(Phoenix and LA) run short as the various reservoirs continue to go down.

Our reservoirs in Phoenix have been filling these last two years....very nicely.

Powell is up significantly.

Great then. Now explain to us how the last Ice Age ended roughly 20,000 years ago with apparently no help from humans burning coal or other fossil fuels. You think maybe solar or volcanic activity could be causing your climate to change?

You wouldn't know moral if it bit you in the ass and left teethmarks.

Also, you're ignorant and stupid as the day is long, Chump!

Sigh.

The oceans are getting warmer

Climate Change Indicators: Sea Surface Temperature | US EPA

This indicator describes global trends in sea surface temperature.

www.epa.gov

And as the water warms its ability to hold oxygen diminishes.
Water in the Keys recently was over 100 degrees.

Take the oxygen out and water cannot support life.
When the massive kills start the food supplies for 70-80% of the planet will shrink dramatically.
When the food supplies shrink, the wars will start.
When the wars start, we will end.

But you just go on being you.

Here is a graph of oxygen in water. The chart looks it is for fresh water. I think salt water is about 20% less all the way across. As you can see a shift in temperature from 25 to 35 C (18 F) reduces solubility by about 20%. Even at 70 C you are only at 50%.

So heat isn't going to totally remove oxygen.

Now, I don't claim to be an expert on ocean physiology, so if there is something else going on it might further affect solubility. Fresh water addition is going to increase it....but not by much.
