re: Extreme heat wave should silence the climate change deniers

Fracking does cause air pollution (water pollution too). This is a fact. Also, they found that most of the earthquakes in Texas recently were caused by fracking.

From the Washington Post:

So you decided to not quote the best part of that article

But for any given earthquake, it is virtually impossible to tell whether humans or nature triggered the quake.

Why does everyone sit here in denial?? Im no save the earth pumper but the evidence is there plain as day. Every year its getting hotter. I dont know the causes, Fracking included,but its happening. I mean parts of the country are in the 100's that are never in the 100's . Some places barely have winter anymore. I believe the OP is pointing this out.

Read a book dude. The Earth has warmed and cooled throughout its existence. Napoleon was marching his armies over oceans and seas 200 some odd years ago in a period called "The Little I've Age." The earth is warming right now, we know that. Anybody that says they know why is lieing. Could it be from human causes, sure, but at what rate? Are we 5% responsible, 20%, 80%? We have no clue.

I don’t think you are grasping the size of the scale.
Let me try to help you. I can kill the fire ant mound in my back yard in second, I cannot kill every living thing on earth in a day. Even that may not be drastic enough of a comparison.

Ok, I see what you are saying now it's time for a metaphor of my own.

Each year, the volume of garbage humans dump into the oceans increases. There are large pockets of trash accumulation on the ocean surfaces that block out light, poison sea life, and change migration patterns. Parts of the trash we dump, takes thousands of years to be naturally decomposed meaning the Earth cannot keep pace with the trash being dumped. If we continue to add trash, wouldn't that imply the ecological impact will become greater as well?

If you look at air in the same vein as the ocean, you'll see pockets of air pollution accumulating at the poles. Just like the poisoning of sea life, There has to be some sort of ecological effect of air pollution right?


If you lived in 1940's Los Angeles, would you have believed that your air would become as poisoned as it once was in the 70's and 80's? California changed their emissions ordinances and it cleared things up. And they still have the 8th largest economy on the planet

There are 7.6 billion people on this planet. Nearly 4 billion of those live in the industrialized "first world". That's a lot of cars, chemical plants, coal plants, and other industrial waste being emitted into the ecosystem

Assuming the entire climate of the entire planet Earth is warming again, just like its done countless times since the planet formed, except when interrupted by periods during which the entire climate of the entire planet cools down, why is it now all of a sudden a bad thing?

Never really understood that part.

chemtrails...amrite?!?!

Can we just anchor this. I don't want outsiders or lurkers to think the average TD poster is this ignorant.

I think the highest temps ever recorded in the northeast was in 1911. It's gets hot in the summer and always has.

Meanwhile yesterday it was 93 in BR. Right on the average.

Dallas has climate change, BR doesn't. Texans blowing too much hot air?

She referenced an article from one of the most liberal news outlets in the country(Washington post) that has been pushing that agaenda for decades. And then want us to go read it....smmfh FYI no one reads that shite anymore. Its not journalism anymore and hasn't been since before you were born !!
