1. Do you actually believe that an accurate temperature record exists going back to 1000 CE? Cores and rings are highly granular and comparisons with modern thermometers are fraught with problems.
the climate didnt exist for almost the entire history of the universe moron.
our earth is a gift. a winning lottery ticket, of staggering odds. its not our birth right. it is our luck.
normality in this universe does not support us. anywhere, but this brief flash of time in this tiny little rock.
hi again Thunder,
i'm assuming that this was all just data that you carry within your head, due to your expertise on the topic (though it sounds alot like a copy paste from Randall Carlson that you present as your own thinking).
if so, that's great. what is the upper threshold of an open body of water's capacity to absorb carbon dioxide in relation to the onset of acidification?
i'm curious. in various parts of the world, we're obviously already there. is there some point where we'd be facing a cascade effect where the damage increases at an exponential rate?
i think this is what folks call a strawman, my friend. no one has said that world leaders need to embark on a crusade to banish all levels of Co2 from the atmosphere.
that all depends, Thunder. if we can safely pump more greenhouse gases into atmosphere and the margins are broad - i'd say we don't have much to worry about.
if we're meandering our way to a mass extinction, then maybe not. i'm having a hard time grasping the benefits of maintaining our "modern civilization" if the end result is a spoiled planet.
we've already agreed that without government regulatory guidelines, nothing is going to change (if change indeed is needed).
you can apply that reasoning to just about anything. if we have no speed limits on highways, then some folks are going to drive 55...some will drive 70...some are going to drive 80...and some will pass you in an unrecognizable blur.
the problem here might be my age.
when i was in high school, the idea that greenhouse gases trap heat wasn't exactly a controversial thing...it was just bland, boring, 'ol fact.

Dude, you got owned. Accept your loss with dignity and move on.Hi LGBT,
You were correct, I stand corrected. I know chemical landfills are the primary disposal form of chemical waste.
Why is it so important to sign you name when your name is posted to the left of your text and in the quoted message?

Can you not read? "You were correct, I stand corrected."Dude, you got owned. Accept your loss with dignity and move on.
Yes I agree we need some regulation for habitat destruction. That doesn't mean I support the war being fought on American energy and how American businesses are crippled by the EPA.
Meanwhile China is free to destroy the environment, pollute,
and at the same time cheaply export products to the USA.
Can you not read? "You were correct, I stand corrected."
And you were a bitchy wise-ass. "LGBT", damn that's a good one!Can you not read? "You were correct, I stand corrected."
I have no idea why that dude signs his name at the end of every post. I've noticed it on here for years. It's like he thinks we can't look above his avatar or some shitYou forgot to say "Hi Final Rehab" and bookend it with

Lmao gotten too.
Just find the name signing annoying.And you were a bitchy wise-ass. "LGBT", damn that's a good one!

might be the only thing he got rightYou lost all credibility trying to tie a 2000 year old quote to what is happening now.
One of the best things we can do is change our electricity production. We need to move away from coal and start using generation IV nuclear reactors.

Watch Pandora's Promise for a nice rage inducing time.
heya there Rozko, nice to meet you!
my big hope is that China's efforts in next gen thorium nuclear plants leads the world to cleaner (and abundant) energy production.
it'll probably happen in our lifetime. if it does, it will be a game changer.

It solves a lot of problems for emerging economies. Mainly providing a cheap and steady supply of electricity without the toxicity of coal mines and burning. We need more of them.
Germany is trying to shut off their reactors in favor of solar and wind. They are fucking themselves.
The IFRs are functional and proven to work safely. They also produce 1/20th of the waste that the older plants produce and can use spent fuel from generation III plants and nuclear warheads to produce energy. We can store the waste safely and only have to worry about it for 200-300 years before it turns to a baseline for radiation found naturally.heya Rozko,
we definitely need to accelerate the development of thorium plants. like i said, it will change the world.
nuclear tech, as it stands, is huge problematic in the United States. there really is no safe way to store waste that's created...but thorium?
its the holy grail. cheap....abundant....safe.
