So if it doubles what will the effect be and how do you know?
NYC is spending $1 billion to protect a small part of the city because a lot of rich companies and people live there. We just spent $15 billion to protect New Orleans. A billion here, a billion there, and it starts to add up to real money.
It has always been that way and the cause of social revolutions.
Controlling earth's climate is a fairy tale. Thinking that man is capable of controlling nature is the height of arrogance.
You do realize that the poorest of Americans are relatively wealthy compared to the poorest of the world, right?
You couldn't be more wrong since it is exactly what man does. He mastered fire and moved from his home in the tropics to the arctic. He built canals and made the desert bloom.
I don't disagree but we how we perceive the world is how we react to it.
True.
Unless warming seas intensify hurricanes. There appears to be evidence that is exactly what is happening.
I live in NY which was under a mile of ice 12,000 years ago. I like this better.
That's protecting himself from nature that's not controlling nature.
The world is what the world is. If our perceptions are anything other than what the world actually is those perceptions are subjective due to bias.
That's a new one on me. All our hurricanes start over the warm mid-Atlantic and maintain their energy over the Gulf. Where is this cold air?
Wrong. Recent studies have shown a link between ocean surface temperatures and tropical storm intensity – warmer waters fuel more energetic storms.
How often does the Nile flood these days? When was the last time the Mississippi had a major course change?
Don't know much about the Nile but they dredge the Mississippi so that it doesn't change course to Morgan City which is where it WILL eventually go despite man's best efforts to deny nature. It's not a question of if but when.
