    So, avoiding any of the other associated issues, and limiting ourselves to sea-level rise...since you’ve acknowledged the anthropogenic basis here: you similarly agree that a certain amount of sea-level rise is inevitable over the next several decades?

    And, in principle, you agree with the idea that there’s a tipping point for glacial and continental ice-sheet melting?

    If all the ice on the planet melts, yeah we will have quite a problem on our hands.

    I do wonder when this will happen

    And what if we enter a new solar activity period whereby temperatures cool? What would happen to sea levels then?

    I guess we could account for the fact that it may start raining fairy dust and blowjobs any day now. Seems like a smart thing to predicate your future on.

    Likewise... we should also completely dismantle the greatest economic engine in the world and implement population control measures to predicate our future on... bc, this time, they're gonna be right.

    This was a fun read, if you wanna go through it.

    Has any of our media firefighters asked the 2020 candidates who say the climate crisis is the biggest of all the crisises (seriously, what isn't a crisis to these people?) why they chose not to vote in favor of the GND? They've all said they supported it... but none voted for it.

    I haven't heard the question asked in the debates but maybe it was asked elsewhere... would love to hear the answer

    So, when do you think this will happen? I mean, sure, not any time soon. You and I will both be dead. But—and congrats for successfully continuing to evade the question—do you accept the scientific consensus that suggests that there is a comprehensible point of no return?

    I’m really struggling to understand your point of view here. You seem to be accepting that anthropogenic climate change is happening, and accepting that it’s going to mean rising sea levels, but rejecting the projections of what this would mean because, in your words, scientists have been wrong about it for 100 years?

    So, is the current consensus wrong, or not?

    I said I think we can reasonably assume it's part of the equation.

    I don't know why this is so challenging for folks to grasp. The earth has been warmer than it is today in its history. It's been colder. There has been more and less ice on the planet. There has been more carbon emissions than there are today. There are probably millions of things that affect climate on a daily basis and it's silly in sturg33's opinion to say that all the change we see is due to human activity.

    The largest glacier in Greenland has been expanding now for three straight years, despite carbon emmissions significantly increasing over that time. What gives? Antarctic ice is expanding, despite global emmisions at all time highs. That seems odd, no?

    Like I said... I'm not pretending to be some climate expert here. My opinion is such that, if it's true that human beings are the cause of the Earth's destruction, than human beings aren't going to be able to stop it. If we had the power to do so, I'd much rather the situation be solved by expanded prosperity with open markets and technology paving the way... not a monolithic government telling us we can't eat hamburgers anymore and should stop having babies. And that's before we even address the east who is the largest culprit of the CO2 problem.

    We put our faith in the scientific community that has been wrong on this from the get go. The amount of time in which we've studied this is so small compared to the Earth's history that it's completely irrelevant. In the very micro (i.e. 100 years of a 4 billion year old planet), the climate is changing and we're feeling our way through on the causes and the outcomes. You'll have to forgive me for my skepticism that our incompetent government requires unrelenting power and control in order to save this... when they can't even run the post office for a profit.

    Indeed. It's as if every conservative/climate change denier has stock in Exxon.

    Or is it that conservative people fear change of any kind?

    So you dont think we are heading into a low solar level period?

    the argument is that, what if it's all bull**** and we just make the world a better place to live

    has always been a weird counter argument
