Heat wave due to liberal hoax fake news climate change

I pick up discarded trash as I do my daily walk in the neighborhood (ironically, it goes in a plastic grocery bag, ultimately into trash bin or recycle bin).  An I'm in a middle class neighborhood.   Some days not much, but there isn't a day without a fast food sack, drink lid/straw combo, plastic glove (newer item!), beer bottle, soda can, I could go on and on.  That's my neighborhood but it makes me notice that stuff tossed on the side of roads in town and out of town.

 

My point is whether we are or are not willing to stop using plastic water bottles and Walmart bags, it is HUMANS who are a big part of the problem.  In a million years I would never (and have never) tossed fast food trash (or anything else) out the car onto any street anywhere for any reason, but apparently a portion of the population have grown up thinking this is an OK thing to do.  I think it reflects total disregard/appreciation for the conveniences we are happy to partake of (pick up a Big Mac or a giant sized soda) but not at the same time make a little effort to take care of our planet.  Let others clean up the mess I suppose.  JMHO.

Well, a few million years ago, Earth was pretty pristine. Only the occasional forest fire or volcanic eruption to foul the air. Then WE came along. So the obvious solution is to wipe out humanity. Fortunately for the planet, we're doing that ourselves. The aliens who visit every couple of million years won't have to go "tsk, tsk" and deploy their sterilization rays. We'll be gone by the time they show up again.

 

(Remember that utterly idiotic movie, "The Day After Tomorrow"? At the end, something like two billion people have been killed, but the astronauts overhead marvel at how clean the air is now.)

 

We lost several decades between when environmental awareness first became "a thing" (Earth Day, 1970) and now, when we're taking the first halting steps toward actually doing something. That's because environmentalists were continually derided as "hippies" and "radical leftists." Rush Limblob (may his soul rot) was particularly fond of mocking and ridiculing people who dared to say that maybe clean air and water is important. And recently, of course, we have the fossil-fuel-slave RepubliQ trying to stop renewable energy.

 

And yeah, I mentioned politics again. That's because everything is politics.

We've been told my so many Left wing nuts that if we didn't change our ways BY NOW, Earth is doom.  Since we're already doomed, why are we even talking about change our ways?

Idiotic question, based on a false premise. Contrary to your lie, no one has ever said that it's too late. It might be too late, but doing nothing is like letting up on the brake because you don't think you're going to be able to stop in time anyway; so you might as well hit that tree at full speed. To explain to you in words you might be able to understand, we still can mitigate climate change even if we're unable to completely stop it. It's not a simplistic choice between "doom" and a complete solution. You really should learn to think with a bit more sophistication.

 

Only a nut would call people who are sounding warnings about climate change "nuts." That's a standard conservitard attack, though. Call people who are pointing out reality stupid names.

 

Boiler, fossil fuel companies have been writing big checks to RepubliQ politicians to continue to lie about climate change and dismiss the danger. But what have they been paying you? Why are you willing to lie for them?

I remember back in the 70's when there was global cooling, temperatures would drop & the sun was going to blotted out.  By the 90's millions were going to die of starvation & the world would be out of oil by the end of the 20th century; which was then changed to 2030.

 

I remember global warming, hockey sticks & in 2006 gore saying that we had 10 years left.  Crazy cortez several years ago saying we had 12 years left.

 

According to the NOAA sea rise is 1/8 of an inch per year or about 1 foot per century.  I think mankind can handle that kind of change.

 

We are still here.  The US through efficiency has been reducing pollution while China is the runaway leader in pollution.

 

 

 


Yep, nothing to see here. It is just saltwater getting under the foundations of multi-story buildings on the coasts. What is the worst that could happen? It is not like it will kill anybody.

 

Come on, it is not like it is over 120 degrees in Canada during the summer. 

 

Tom, keep building your snowmen in the summer.

Is Mark referring to the building collapse in Miami?  If so why haven't the other buildings in the area collapsed?  

Other than a couple of people on cnn & msnbc there isn't any evidence to the claim

 

NYC was in the 60s & low 70s this weekend. Not every day is seasonable.

My understanding is there are several at-risk buildings all up and down the coast of Florida. Prior to the collapse, Flordia took a hands-off approach. 

 

Miami-Dade County officials said last week that they were prioritizing reviews of 24 multistory buildings that either had failed major structural or electrical inspections required after 40 years or had not submitted the reports in the first place. But the county’s own records show that 17 of those cases had been open for a year or more. Two cases were against properties owned by the county itself. The oldest case had sat unresolved since 2008.

The city of North Miami Beach had tried and failed for years to bring a 10-story condo building within its borders, Crestview Towers, into compliance with the 40-year recertification requirements. When the building’s condo association finally submitted the required paperwork last week, about nine years late, it documented critical safety concerns, a city spokesman said. Officials evacuated the building on Friday.

it is just saltwater getting under the foundations of multi-story buildings on the coasts.

 

Not a single case where seawater is a problem.  Thank you for disproving your point.

It's morons like you saying that "we ain't got nuthin' to worry about" that makes climate change such a threat.

 

"Hockey sticks"??? Tommie-poo, you're losing whatever tenuous grip on reality you once had.
