Society is not willing or prepared to take the steps necessary to slow or reverse the effects of climate change/global warming.  Even if they do, it will take a long time to slow it down or reverse it especially with world population increasing and the natural warming cycle. It is time to start building on higher ground.  All coastal cities can't be like New Orleans with dikes and pumps. 

What were Native Americans thinking 12,000 years ago when the ice was melting.

You are correct, if we ever do see any negative effects from elevated CO2 we can employ Neolithic technology and just move.

Then enough about what you didn’t say, what about the stuff you did say? What about the endless lies you spouted in this thread? Is your brain so rotted by your need to see Trump back in the White House that you can’t tell fact from fiction anymore?

You mean YOU, not "we", while keeping your eyes firmly closed.

Unless you personally, directly feel an impact, you'll keep denying that anything is happening. Lucky you live in PA eh? Meanwhile even Switzerland and Italy have to redraw their border because of melting glaciers.

 

But you're not smart enough to realise that you're already feeling some of the impact indirectly - some of that inflation that you're so desperate to blame on Biden is due to the impact of climate change, but you'll never, ever admit it.

Do you like coffee? Just tell those coffee trees to move right? As well as hundreds of other things in your everyday life that you don't have the ability to think deeply about.

 

But then again, you can barely add or subtract, so it's definitely not out of character.

I really don’t care about who occupies the White House, as long as we have R control of either the House or the Senate, especially if Harris wins. We will need that to minimize the damage wrought by the Ds last time they controlled both chambers and the bully pulpit.

My post was in response to tkhays claim that more people died of COVID during the Trump Administration. I said that was factually incorrect and I backed it up with data. If your brain is so rotted by TDS (Trump Deranged Syndrome) that you can’t see that, I can’t help you.

I never said that.  I said one million Americans died and trump did a horrible job of managing a pandemic, that the USA had worse outcomes than other first world countries

This is what you just said when you knew I was right and you were lying. If you say he’s vicious and small, what do you think that makes you?

You say that, but your endless pro Trump lies tell a different story. Why the constant denial of reality in support of Trump if you don’t care?

Anti-Biden/Harris doesn’t equate to pro-Trump. If everyone here was blindly lavishing praise on Trump as they are with Harris I would point out Trump’s faults. However you guys have that base covered.

You are constantly blindly lavishing praise on Trump more than anyone else does with Biden. You credit him with a level of economic genius that no one here ascribes to any other politician, simply because of how ludicrously extravagant and unrealistic it is.

 

And again, why would you keep lying in support of him if you didn’t actually support him? Because the lies are undeniable.

I never voted for him, I wrote in Mickey Mouse, because I thought a cartoon rodent would do a better job. I did say the economy was good/great, pre-pandemic. Low unemployment, low inflation, low interest rates, low gasoline prices. I’ll take that regardless of who occupies the WH. Given Harris’s tax and spend policies I doubt it will be her.

Then why do you deny the reality that global things happened to change that regardless of who’s in the White House? Why do you ignore the fact that no one is proposing a bigger tax rise than Trump?

Sounds like a typical hurricane.

The count is now 166 dead, 600 missing.  Over a million without power or water.  Helene is now in the top five most destructive storms to hit the US - EVER.  And damage reports are still coming in.

You'd think after being wrong dozens of times with predictions like this, you'd change your approach to denial.

Amazing how quickly the party of non-government intervention, personal responsibility, climate denial, science denial, anti-socialism and the inability to find Appalachia on map screams for socialist government control and help for a region they didn't give a shit about 2 weeks ago.

That's cute and all, but this strategic lashing out is a pretty obvious ruse to distract from the fact that you can't take admitting to yet another lie in such a short space of time.

You lied about Covid deaths to make Trump sound good (I mean seriously, have you no shame?).

You lied about State shutdowns to make Trump sound good.

You lied about the Covid recession to make Trump sound good.

You lied about the price of gold to make Trump sound good.

You lied about Biden being entirely responsible for any post Covid economic woes the US economy suffered in a time of global recession.

Your take on post Covid inflation is that it's all Joe Biden's fault because of all the stimulus which did nothing at all to help the economy and only caused inlfation, unlike the stimulus that Trump did which was literally the absolute perfect amount of stimulus to completely fix the economy without causing any inflation.

 

Aaaand you wanna talk about groupthink? Buddy, you are down the rabbit hole drowning in koolaid.

What exactly do you expect of a well fed troll?

Well ahead of the average season now.

Tropical Storm Milton formed in the western Gulf on Saturday morning just hours after it became a tropical depression, the National Hurricane Center said in a special alert. The 13th named storm, which uses the letter M, is running ahead of pace – it doesn’t usually occur until October 25.

Rumor control is claiming that when we get to the letter S it's going to be called Skeptic. Apparently the guy who wanted to call Helene Hurricane Hoax just got a corner office. I'm still trying to confirm that one.

Seriously, if you are in the cone of this thing you need to vacate. Water temperatures are very high. It's reasonable to expect a last minute Cat 4 or more.

One thing I can be sure of, is that @brenthutch won't be anywhere near these things, nor will he have any of his airborne-vet courage to tell people actually affected, to their face, that this is a below-average season.

 

Oh and given how republicans are so "independent" and pro "small government" why are they asking for so much government help in the aftermath in NC?

[tkhayes 348]

Apparently getting to an ‘M’ name this early in the season is rare and this early is earlier that most seasons

slow start, whatever, and a rapid acceleration the number of storms and still 7 weeks to go

i wonder what he will call his thread when the powers to be decide to extend hurricane season from May to December instead of June to November 

i am definitely making moves to vacate Florida. It is no longer viable to live there. For this and many reasons
