I really don't know enough about climate change.

But I do know that when I was in elementary school (late 90s, early 00s) that 2050 number was 2020.

High fructose corn syrup, enriched grains, and a removal of all personal responsibility will render the body unable to cool itself WAY before climate change does it.

I remember in the 70s and 80s the same "scientists" predicted we'd be in an ice age by now.

After what we’ve seen this year, how can anyone believe that “climate” is really about climate, and not power and control? The left is hell-bent on power.
The left does the same with “healthcare”

they're not wrong. we have become bigger and bigger pussies when it comes to the summer heat.

growing up we didnt have AC in our cars and our idea of air conditioning was playing with a hose pipe with the other kids in the neighborhood and eating popsicles.

i guess if these progressive pink-haired idiots spent 2 seconds in a gym they might realize a bead of sweat running your neck is actually not going to result in death.

Or the mint julep.

It's not like it'll be 140 with 100% humidity and we're drowning on dry land.

It'll be 98 with 90% humidity.

THE HORROR

Pussies


ETA: I'll still mow at 2pm so the cold outdoor shower feels better. And I'll still sit outside on the patio with a bourbon and sweet tea or julep when finished.

sea level rise

How these measurements are derived is suspect at best, and complete bullshite at worst. True, we have tide gauges spread about to measure sea level, but they are too few and far between. So, we use a satellite to fill in the gaps. The issue is that when compared to the best gauges we do have in place, the satellite is off by at least 1.5 times. That represents a substantial difference that cannot be explained by saying that tide gauges aren't accurate enough.

I started school in the 70's. Back then we used to get "scholastic reader" handouts that were "ditto" copied. We would read the one page article and answer the questions on the next page.

Without fail these things would be about how we were all going to die from acid rain or the impending ice age or some other disaster. Looking back, these weren't just random subjects of interest. These were being peddled to the schools to indoctrinate the kids, even back then.

Ice age, hole in the ozone layer, etc. We've always had some weather phenomenon that was going to kill us all.

Anyone notice how all these climate predictions are really far off and use extrapolated data?
Always have. Look at stories from the 1980s and 90s. New Orleans was supposed to be under water by 2020 per info I was given in 1988. They are never correct.

The Arctic ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot, according to a report to the Commerce Department yesterday from Consulafft, at Bergen, Norway.

Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone. Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes. Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the gulf stream still very warm. Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared.

Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelts which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds.

Oh, I forgot to mention that this report was from November 2, 1922. As reported by the AP and published in The Washington Post - 98 years ago!

Enough with this BS.

Terrebonne parish isn't even supposed to exist anymore based on the maps they used to show us in school back in elementary and Jr. high school.

and yet the boat launches in Cocodrie are still in the same place they have always been for the entire 41 years of my existence.

Mid 80s to early 90s here, and by 2020 the gulf was already taking over southern LA. I guess we've paid enough in taxes and put enough Christmas trees in the gulf to extend that another 30 years.
