    I'm shocked I tell ya. Shocked!!!
    Only the left and cowardly republicans could have let an idiot child dictate so much world changing things.

    Our world is such a ****ing joke.

    This isn’t really a divergence at all? It’s a pretty widely held belief that the main deterrent to combatting climate change is that major corporations won’t allow it to happen.

    I fondly recall the in declaring in 1989 that the world will be under water by 2000.

    Why do you keep falling for these things?

    Insurers are losing their asses in California because of their awful decision making and can’t exit the state or cancel coverage because of the state legislature.

    He (Gore) blamed this phenomenon for a host of problems he claimed humanity is currently facing. Raising his voice, he said, "That’s what’s boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers, and the rain bombs, and sucking the moisture out of the land, and creating the droughts, and melting the ice and raising the sea level, and causing these waves of climate refugees!"

    He (Gore) continued, "We’re still putting 162 million tons [of greenhouse gas] into it every single day and the accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat as would be released by 600,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the earth."

    Didn't realize our oceans were boiling and we were setting off the equivalent of 600k atomic bombs a day. It's hard to see how the left takes this guy seriously

    Nothing like the rich gathering together to tell us that we need to take one for the team for the greater good.

    We must pay taxes to fund green energy research. Then we will be strong armed through legislation into having to buy that green energy technology once it's ready.

    Meanwhile, they fly around in their private jets and profit off the whole ordeal while laughing all the way to the bank.

    That's not even mentioning the purposely manufactured crisis that they will create for us when it comes to the power grid failures. Then the cycle of using our tax dollars, strong arming us into paying lots of money for things that were once low cost and their profiting and laughing all the way to the bank will happen again.

    It's true.

    Institutional legitimacy has collapsed. Nobody believes these "experts" anymore (well except for idiot leftists)

    The only way to get these insane tyrannical ideas in place will be by force

    This is the Bronx River the same year the EPA was founded, a place the city referred to as an "open sewer." This week, three dolphins were found eating fish in the river for the first time in decades. Yeah, environmental protection is actually a great thing.(Camilo Vergara, 1970)

    Over 100 billion people have lived on our planet.

    Just 622 have been to space.

    Just 12 have set foot on another celestial object, our barren moon.

    Not a single human has been to another planet.

    We know of no other planet that can sustain human life.

    Why is it so damn hard to get people to care about

    protecting the only home we've ever had and

    the only place we can live?

    Because every doom prediction given the last 40 years has been laughably wrong.

    Where are the cities under water?

    Oceans Break Record for Highest Temperatures Four Years in a Row
    Warming oceans can drive sea-level rise and extreme weather


    Margaret Osborne

    Daily Correspondent
    January 17, 2023



    In 2022, the world’s oceans hit their warmest temperature on record for the fourth year in a row, new research suggests. The findings, published last week in Advances in Atmospheric Sciences, are a striking indication of the long-term pattern of human-caused climate change.

    Sea surface temperatures have a major impact on the world’s weather, with warmer oceans linked to more extreme hurricanes, heat waves, droughts and heavy rain, writes Andrew Freedman of Axios.

    Since 1970, the oceans have absorbed about 90 percent of the excess heat from greenhouse gas emissions, per CNN’s Ivana Kottasová. Ocean temperature is less susceptible to short-term weather changes than air temperature is, making oceans a good gauge for the effects of climate change.

    “If you want to know how fast the globe has warmed and if you want to look into the future climate, the answer is in the oceans,” study co-author John Abraham, a thermal sciences expert at the University of St. Thomas, says to Axios. “It tells us the past and helps us project into the future.”

    A warmer ocean also means expanding water, rising sea levels and flooding. It is increasingly likely that, between 2020 and 2100, the ocean along the U.S. coastline could rise by two feet. A recent NASA study found the ocean could rise up to one foot in about 25 years.

    “The global ocean is rising, and more than that, the rise is accelerating,” David Holland, a physical climate scientist at New York University told Live Science’s Joe Phelan in November. “The projected rise for the Gulf coast of about 1 foot by 2050 is enormous. This can make hurricane-related storm surges even worse than is presently the case.”

    The new study also examined ocean salinity, which determines water density and affects ocean circulation, reports Damian Carrington for the Guardian. The researchers found that the difference between the average salinity in high- and low-salinity regions (also called the salinity-contrast index) was the highest on record in 2022.

    “Salty areas get saltier, and fresh areas get fresher, and so there is a continuing increase in intensity of the hydrological cycle,” Lijing Cheng, lead author and researcher for the Institute of Atmospheric Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, says in a statement.

    The study indicates that the ocean is becoming more stratified, too, developing layers of differing densities that make it more difficult for materials like oxygen and nutrients to be transported through the water. More stratification also leads the oceans to absorb less heat from the atmosphere, furthering global warming, per the Guardian.

    Scientists have raised concerns about more than just warming oceans—the past year shattered records for extreme weather and air temperatures, too. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration found 2022 was the sixth hottest year documented since 1880, despite its La Niña weather pattern, which tends to lower global temperatures. Europe saw its worst drought in 500 years last summer. New Year’s Day of 2023 was the hottest January day ever recorded for at least eight European countries.

    Without significant action from humans, scientists say these trends are likely to persist.

    “The oceans are absorbing most of the heating from human carbon emissions. Until we reach net zero emissions, that heating will continue, and we’ll continue to break ocean heat content records, as we did this year,” Michael Mann, a climate science researcher at the University of Pennsylvania and an author of the new study, says in the statement. “Better awareness and understanding of the oceans are a basis for the actions to combat climate change.”
