Going to be another brutal summer for much of the US it appears...

The ice caps melting is going to put Miami underwater. Miami is fxcked by the end of the century. Hope you have ironclad flood insurance.

Do melting ice sheets spell doomsday? Glaciologist weighs in

Temple University Professor Atsuhiro Muto explains how climate change is affecting our planet’s vital ice sheets.

news.temple.edu

“It is very unlikely to completely melt,” Muto said. “But if even a small portion of the Antarctic ice sheet melted, say, enough to raise sea level by a foot or two, it would inundate much of Earth’s coastal areas and displace many millions of people.”

If by "displace" we mean "People may have to move a bit further inland", this is far from catastrophic. An inconvenience, sure, nonetheless not the end of the world. This is all assuming that the sea does end up rising a foot or two


Also:


"The warming atmosphere caused in part by climate change is melting glaciers around the world, including the Greenland ice sheet. But Muto says that most of the current melting in Antarctica is instead caused by changes in ocean circulation that bring warmer waters to the ice sheet. The warm water is melting ice beneath Antarctica, but humans aren’t entirely to blame for the change in ocean currents"

I will just blame them, regardless. I don't like humans. I'm more of a cat person.

Exactly. Science is generally about trying to test and prove things wrong. So it’s a bit weird that people who hate science always point to past conclusions that were eventually proven wrong. That’s the whole point!

It becomes a law when it appears to not be unproven. I.e. planetary motion, thermodynamics, newton, etc.



Yes.

That looks like a Bitcoin breakout moon candle and you got these numnuts rushing to "short" it.

You can barely get any kind of insurance in Florida anymore as it is, and those who can are paying like 5x as much as they did a few years ago because every major insurer has left the state.

By the end of the century insurance will cost more than their house payment.

Yeah, taking out life insurance on your own kids has become outrageously pricey in The Sunshine State, Post-Casey Anthony. One is well-advised to relocate from Orlando to Boulder ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_JonBenét_Ramsey ), if affordable LI + Never being pestered by a criminal trial, the likes of which leaves you acquitted of murder but also a social pariah, is what you're in the market for

Did you not get enough attention from Mommy and Daddy growing up that you need to come up with the dumbest most obnoxious things you can think of and pollute every thread ad nauseum with them?

It's not funny. Grow up or go away

Had you received the sort of attention I did from Mummy, Daddy, and their many hanger-ons, you would've walked away with a predilection for morbid comedy also. These deliberately then-skinned times we inhabit have goaded me into developing a perverse appreciation for my own trauma

On a more serious note: One only needs to engage in a miniscule amount of research to discover

Home insurers fleeing Florida IS NOT mostly due to climate change

I thought this was a forum for unplugged men generally at odds with the establishment. It’s all going a bit Reddit and I don’t like it.

Brings us back around to a subject discussed briefly awhile back: Namely, the unrelenting cruelty of Big Tech Censorship

Why are curse words still censored

We're all adults here I'm tired of having to type like a preteen on a message board

www.sosuave.net

Currently, any website which isn't eager to be exiled to the bottom of Google's search results has to be hyper-vigilant, regarding the content they allow

Ex. The Free Speech Forum is one of the few English language sites operating today that resembles the gloriously unabridged days of GeoCities

Main Forum

The Main Forum of the Free Speech Forum window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || []; function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);} gtag('js', new Date()); gtag('config', 'G-RGPHKRTBPM');

thefreespeechforum.com

Relatively few folks are aware of it's existence though, and in no small part, this is attributable to Google making TFSF very difficult to find

While I want to respectfully give the AGW discussion a rest, namely as it’s not getting any of us any awards for upright and proper conduct, this is a very important issue to me and probably one for another thread on another forum given the politics/derailing ban.

To me censorship or moderation should tackle:

- Threats
- Conspiracy to commit crime
- Ad Hominem (this is quite a grey area)

the issue is forums and web traffic Have their own pressures. A sports forum I am on had a ban on mentioning anything which strayed from narrative on the pandemic, as their hosting company said they would shut it down.

What has happened is that due to automation and technology racing away, the power in society has been given to a small group of employees in this sector undemocratically and these companies now have monopolies.

There is a good argument to nationalise these industries as there is no competition. Amazon, Apple et al just buy up or scale out competition and use their dominant position to push their politics in an entirely unethical way on consumers, usually aiming at the youngest ones.

10-20 years history will not look on this period favourably.

over and out. Back on topic.

Hi Rolling Eyes,
I don't think 3 inches every Century is anything to worry Mother about.....Our mean Datum level,from which Surveyors calculate Sea Level (Zero Altitude),is on the side of Customs House in Sydney...It has not changed,as our Island Continent has risen that much.

There have been lots of panicked doomsday climate predictions that never happened. Media and scientists who preach panic with "certain" extremist scenarios are not to be trusted.

I'm sure mankind is fukking up the environment to a degree that could cause his extinction. We'll be gone eventually and it will probably be our fault.

However half the time my own local weather forecast is wrong.

Climate change can be attributed to major human migration movements, civilizations collapsing, plagues, and a surplus in instability. Western civilizations have the most to lose during a warm period because they strategically placed their economic centers off of vulnerable coastlines and other areas vulnerable to climate change too. The last winner during our warm period were the mongols and guess who controls most of the former mongol empire today!

As vulnerable as our modern global supply chain is with our declining western governments, I don’t think you want to live through a worst case scenario of this. WW3 will be worse than WW2, but it will not be this scenario of the empires of the world fighting each other. It will be a lot of Spanish civil war type scenarios happening globally.

Free speech does not apply to private anything. This is US civics 101.

 

[BaronOfHair]

Free speech does not apply to private anything

Thus I said "The state of free speech on a social level". It's true.... The 1st Amendment itself is of limited use, if our culture is more adverse to free expression than usual, as is the case in America these days

I'm not taking sides. I think the extremes, in this case, are, in fact, extremes—the real story most likely lies somewhere between the two camps. Do greenhouse gases accelerate things? Yes, it's scientifically proven. Is Mars warmer? Yes, it is, its scientifically proven. Both processes are causing the temperature fluctuations we are seeing. And each camp has its own reasons to bolster the stories.

Therein lies another parallel between card-carrying Red Pillers and Eco-Warriors. Whereas the latter invokes the label "Lukewarmer" against all those who dare to openly not agree with them on every last talking point

False Alarm by Bjorn Lomborg; Apocalypse Never by Michael Shellenberger – review

Two prominent ‘lukewarmers’ take climate science denial to another level, offering tepid manifestos at best

www.theguardian.com

The former hurls the term "Purple Pill" at those of who question the tenets of Red Pill Theology out loud

Neither Environmentalists nor Red Pillers realize that Lukewarmer and Purple Pill are just stand-ins for "Too heterodox for our liking"
