Your guide to manmade climate disasters in the world today

Yes, with glaciers advancing and expanding instead of retreating as they are now.

We need to reduce the population anyway, right?

Small price to pay for a lower carbon footprint

Right? Why are we even here? The planet must exist without any human on it.

Actually, we do. The population of the planet today is over four times what it was a century ago, and rapidly expanding. And almost every "problem" people keep bringing up are really symptoms of overpopulation problems.

This is simple biology or ecology here. Humans for hundreds of thousands of years were kept in check primarily through food, disease, and predation. And it does not matter if the species is humans, white tailed deer, or timber wolves. Without some check on population, a species will destroy their environment.

For around ten thousand years, the biggest check on human populations was disease, and in the 20th century they eliminated the threat of most communicable diseases so now the population is out of control. Even the only disease threat we have had in the last century was pretty much a non-event that made absolutely no difference.

But yes, to be brutally honest the only way to eliminate any of this nonsense about "carbon footprint" or other such garbage is simply to eliminate between a quarter to a third of the current human population. I was actually one of those a few years ago that was "hoping" that COVID was actually such a disease that would at least come close to the tolls of the Spanish Flu. But it was not, and statistically it had no impact.

Your sarcasm not withstanding, that is actually a factual statement.

This planet simply can not support over 8 billion people living in an industrial lifestyle. Period. For all the political crap thrown around, I find it amazing that many miss the most obvious connection.

If you really want to reduce the "CO2 Footprint", there really is only one solution. Take the population back to the population levels of around 1960.

Dude, what percent of the planet do the humans actually populate?

That is actually completely irrelevant.

If they were living a pastoral lifestyle say at the level of the era before the Calcolothic and in widely scattered groups, they could live that way almost forever so long as they are widely scattered. That is, primarily hunter-gatherers and not using any fuels other than wood for heating and cooking.

The percent of the planet the humans are on really does not matter worth a damn, so I have no idea why you are even trying to ask me that.

sure it does, your expecting to convince people like me that the population of this globe which can fill up Texas is somehow detrimental to the other 97% of the globe? haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahaha. You fkrs will never brainwash people like me. Your amount of stupid is so great it springs at me like the smell of poop in a toilet.

Mount Fuji snowless for longest time on record after sweltering Japan summer

As of 29 October, the iconic mountain was still without snow, marking the longest period since records began 130 years ago

www.theguardian.com

No snow on Mount Fuji. This year was the hottest year on record in Japan. Beating the previous record................... last year.

In the mid-atlantic, we are in the midst of a top 5 coldest ten-day period in history.

-1 here with the wind chill. Up from -15 last night. Set to be colder tonight.

Where did I say that?

This is not the first time you have made some claim to what I believe, that has absolutely no basis in anything I have said.

And I have absolutely no interest in trying to convince anybody of anything. That is something that zealots want and those who want to control others. I am neither of those, I simply postulate facts and allow others to believe and do whatever they want.

when you said it was irrelevant. You don't remember that post? I quoted you?

name one record

There's no such thing as a "climate disaster". There are extreme weather events, but a "climate event" is an oxymoron.
