I probably took first trip to gulf shores 40+ years ago. I have been many times since then. The condos continue to be the same distance to the ocean and contractors have built no telling how many new resorts up and down the riviera over that time. I am certainly not a science expert, but common sense tells me not to worry.

Those beach’s routinely bring in sand to supplement. I think they just did a couple years ago in OB/GS, Miramar has done it and so has 30A.

That might be used as a data point regarding sea level changes if it hadn't been moved multiple times. See that crack in it? The parts used to be in two different places.

The last 100 years saw at most a 1.5C rise in worldwide temps during which time the standard of living rise to its highest level by far. Worst case predictions are for another 1.5C rise in the next 100 years.

I think we’ll be fine.

The only way to fight the global temperature change is by buying US government credits….. yup, sounds legit to me.

It was over for me when they started saying I had to pay them taxes on my pollution to make my pollution acceptable.
When I was in college weather experts were running around sky screaming that we were entering a new ice age. Still haven’t used my heavy coat.

It’s all bullshite and is nothing more than a fear tactic to con people into giving the government even more control

Even if it’s real imagine thinking there’s anything we can do to stop it without going back to living in the Stone Age

I'm sure man's behavior has a small part to play in global warming, but global warming is cyclical in nature as God intended.

I think humanity’s impact on our oceans is more profound with more immediate consequences. Both overfishing and more recently excessive plastics and waste in the water.

The climate has been always changing since it's inception.

If it was truly real there would be an all out war on it like we are in WWII. All resources would be dedicated to fighting it.

If the doomsday scenarios of the planet being uninhabitable (or whatever other scenario they predicted) by the end of the century are true, then the only technologically achievable way we have to prevent that is to go on a nuclear plant construction blitz. Is that being done or even being seriously discussed?

Are the Obamas, Gores, Clintons, celebrities selling their mansions (which many are on the waterfront) and moving into a 2000 SF house to get away from sea level rise and reduce their carbon footprint?

Credibility - so many predictions done over the past several decades have passed their deadline of it occurring. I remember when the last drop of oil would be accessed in the middle of this century, turning the world into a Mad Max movie. Is that going to happen? All I keep hearing over the past 20 years is discovery upon discovery of new oilfields with billions of barrels of newly discovered oil.

Are your world leaders drastically changing their lifestyle? Have they?

It's been one thing or another for as long as I can remember. There's gonna be a new ice age, no, the glaciers are gonna melt. The acid rain is gonna kill us. Global warming, global cooling, no, it's climate change and carbon dioxide. The only consistent thing is how the government is so concerned about it, and only more taxes and more restrictions can save us. Meanwhile, the industries and countries that really do pollute heavily are never held accountable. And the political elite never seem to have a problem jetting around the world to their lavish conferences to jack each other off about how they're the saviors of the world. I say frick 'em all. Greedy, narcissistic cocksuckers. Mother Earth will still be here long after all of us are dust, Until then, I'll drive the car I like, eat a fat steak if I want, and enjoy the AC in my modest home. My carbon footprint is negligible, and they can all suck my dick.

Consider this fact: Many of them have been telling everyone the Earth has only 5 years to exist- for 50 years running.


Follow the money. It ALWAYS comes down to that.

The left. My lifestyle is to blame for GW

Also the left: we need to allow every 3rd world refugee in so they can live our lifestyle.


About sea levels rising, you students know the oceans are all connected right? Or is there some flat earth mechanism that causes the sea to rise more in regions that are sinking?

Ask

What is the exact impact that humans have on climate change? They can’t answer it.

You'll need hundreds of years of data to prove that it's not just earth doing earth things.


Climate change as it exists now is nothing more than a money grab by corrupt politicians with lobbyist lining their pockets.

I don’t know but things are warming. How do we explain orca in the gulf pushing up the sharks or polar bears dying bc their habitat is melting? Maybe the natural course of climate change. But we also know man can make rain (Dubai).

It doesn't exist. All the natural disasters they say it's creating or increases is bs. Heat sensors set up near big cities that give off more heat. Put them in wooded areas away from population a d see how that works

Human activity 100% has an impact on the ecosystem and climate, often negatively. However, the magnitude of that impact is severely overblown.

We can be better stewards for our planet, but the extreme hyperbole bandied about regarding the issue probably harms efforts to improve rather than helping. Too much boy who cried wolf.
