24 inches over 100 years is just as survivable.

We as a species wield incredible powers to stave off extinction. We will also figure a way out of CO2.


Not if we continue having contrarians who oppose every step forward and insist on rolling us back because there isn't a problem, then we aren't causing the problem, then there's nothing we can do about it anyway.

Learn English, you lobotomized ostrich.

My graph displays three sections: ARCTIC, ANTARCTIC, and BOTH.

No wonder Obama let you French homos get shot by Muslims.

Sooooo.... liberals have empathy for the environment they leave for their children and grandchildren, but not the mountains of debt. But hey, only the evil corporations are selfish!


You don't have to be a liberal to wish for a better world for our grandchildren.. We are all humans.. The environment is one issue, masses of debt is another.

Tbh, it's about time to get rid of the labels that are separating us and are in the way of having a normal conversation.
I don't know about you, but I see through the political game of separating the masses, to let them fight each other, so a government can do what it wants.
It is what is done with apartheid, and ironically, we're doing the same thing here.

Great, you found research from one of the skeptics. About 3-5% of the research shows something similar to this..
To blood eagle ppl is an interesting resolve to make a point.

This, but I didn't want to bother with it, because his post was just too ironic.

Submerged island nations =/= "end all human existence." Hyperbole much?


The end is a bit more complex than that.

One hypothesis are frozen methane tundra in Syberia to melt and released into the air all at once. Tripling the effects of global warming in a few weeks.
Another comes with the extinction of key animals creating a domino effect. Like bees, that are needed to fertilize plants. Bees die, flowers die, animals that eat those fruits die.
Another is ppl are now living in areas where there is fresh drinking water. Climate change would mean large shortages of drinking water, ppl would die and start an immigration flow like we've never seen before.
Fish life might not be able to cope with the rising sea temperature (we still know so little about the sea), yet we do expect mass extinctions there.

Basically what ever is gonna happen with continued global warming, the costs to compensate for the effects are far greater afterwards, than fixing it now.
You'll most likely see within a few decades that richer countries will be able to mostly cope with the global warming, while the more poorer countries will destabilize.
That is why I made a comment about the reach of ones empathy. It's not about the health of your children, but the children around the world in your lifetime.
Your grandchildren will have a different life, how is also unsure.. However I do believe it would not be much better with a much warmer earth.

For me it goes a bit further than this though. It's not only the O2 in the air that has a limitation of how much we can consume of it. It's about every natural resource we have.
We have become consumer crazy, and in order to cope, we cut down every tree we can find, we drill oil in every natural reserve there is.
We're destroying all the beauty the world has to offer, in order to have a new smartphone, every year.

easy to have this stance in wisconsin or minnesota. but i'd personally feel like a fuck face for saying it when i think about a place like Bangladesh or the Philippines. i'll give you the credit of thinking it will happen slow enough for us to continually adapt, even though that's a large assumption without underlying proof. Cam claims the science is shaky, which it is, but that sword cuts both ways.

I think man made climate change is real but we shouldn't worry about it because we won't die from it now
Let younger generations worry about it, if they all die then oh well
Making $$$ > everything else


i cant be sure if this is trolling. i mean, i hope it is.
