Worst drought on record lowers Amazon rivers to all-time lows

The climate is going to boil people

This was so funny. Say it again.

I'm from the place that has normal hetero sex with people without familial DNA.

Wow, pulling all the toddler white grievance.

Dude, take a moment and get a Red Bull.

Have you ever studied climate and people living under our rapid change.

Humans have temperature ranges that we can live in without air conditioning options.

Grievance? No. Recommendation? Yes.

Learn it, live it, love it.

So will AC help when "the climate starts to boil people?"

Nope. I'm a happy guy. You're a sour puss who only knows that everything is wrong. You're a textbook example of critical theory. A real piece of shit.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Fruitful and multiplying. Same as today. Did you have a point other than CO2 bad?

have I mentioned CO2 once?

now you are just pulling out your party talking points.

What is the point of that?

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Partnering with Otto is a losing proposition. He's a loser.

a trait you and him share then

The worst drought on record has lowered the water level of the rivers in the Amazon basin to historic lows, in some cases drying up riverbeds that were previously navigable waterways.
The Solimoes, one of the main tributaries of the mighty Amazon River whose waters originate in the Peruvian Andes, has fallen to its lowest level on record in Tabatinga, the Brazilian town on the border with Colombia.
Downriver in Tefé, a branch of the Solimoes has dried up completely, as seen by Reuters reporters who flew over the river on Sunday.
The nearby Lake Tefé, where more than 200 freshwater dolphins died in last year's drought, has also dried up, depriving the endangered pink mammals of a favorite habitat.

This is crazy, the pictures from the area are almost unbelievable

And a few months ago, they had historic flooding in the south of the country that inundated a major airport.

You’re a sad fuckup who wants everyone to believe in your climate toddler bullshit.

Not a good look fuckup

You didn't need to mention CO2 for me to know which way you lean. What else would concern you? Trash? Water quality? Water supply? Air quality? Because those aren't very controversial things. Everyone agrees on trash, water and air. No objections there. Urban heat islands? Deforestation? Good luck on that even though they are feedbacks like CO2.

What's the point? The point is that we will only be good stewards when we have to and you can't trust any politician to do otherwise. It's your point I don't get. Unless of course you are arguing against CO2. Then I get your point.

I want you to open up your mind to what the climate record of the planet is saying. From my perspective, you're the fuckup. An ignorant, dumb, political propagandist fuckup.

This is the way that I lean....copied from post 10 of this thread....

I do not know how much mankind has influenced the changing climate, but I do know it is changing.

I think the fight over the cause is stupid and just a waste of time. Even if you could prove 100% it was our fault tomorrow, people would not change their lifestyles to save the planet.

Thus what needs to be done is to focus on how to deal with the changes and mitigate the damage and take advantage of the benefits.

But as long as the fight over climate change is political, those things cannot happen.

It's your point I don't get.

My point is simple, the climate is changing and it it going to impact humans. We can choose to be like you and Otto and sealybobo and fight over the cause and whether it was hotter a million years ago or not. But really what is the point of that?

Or we can work to mitigate the harm from the changing climate and work to take advantage of the positive parts of the climate changing.

I live in the mid-west of the US. I work in the Ag industry. In this area the rain patterns have changed rather drastically over the past 20 years or so. Right now the total amount of rain is roughly the same, but how we get it has changed. Instead of of rain 10 to 12 days out of the month with only a few days in-between we get rain maybe 3 days a month, all in a row and massive amounts of rain when we get it.

What is the big deal you might ask, and the question is that crops do not do well going 3 to 4 weeks with no rain. They also do not do well getting a months worth of rain in a day or two. So farmers in the area, some who have been on the same land for 5 or more generations are having to add irrigation and tiling to their land, something that has not ever been needed. This is expensive and also has its own environmental concerns.

This is just one of a million examples. This thread is not about CO2, it is not about if humans are the cause or not, because it just does not matter.

This thread is about "hey look you morons, shit is happening, quit fighting over the cause and whether it was hotter back when humans lived in caves".

But that is just too much of an ask I guess. Politics kills everything it touches.

You already admitted nothing is going to change, right? So what difference does it make?

None at all it seems as you will not even talk about it.

Lets all just sit here and pretend nothing is happening.

But hey, at least you can have your cool fun political debates over climate change, that seems to be all you care about.

Have a great weekend!

 

[westwall]

once again, how were us humans doing during that time period?

Quite good

Oh, things happen all the time. The question is does man affect global climate


The actual, real evidence says no.

So, how do we mitigate the affects of that which we can not change.

That is the discussion that we should be having.

This from the guy that does not know the difference between weather and climate

Sadly you don't.
