re: Everyone. Hug your nearest climate alarmist today.

Really? Are you sure about that?

Please update us with the new studies on that.

The coral reefs around the world say hello. Something is happening.

Why you are right! They do say hello! Something is definitely happening!

You were saying?

In 2022, the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) reported the highest levels of coral cover across two-thirds of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) in over 36 years.

And

paints a complex picture. It wasn’t long ago the Great Barrier Reef was reeling from successive disturbances, ranging from marine heatwaves and coral bleaching to crown-of-thorns starfish outbreaks and cyclone damage, with widespread death of many corals especially during the heatwaves of 2016 and 2017. Since then, the Reef has rebounded. Generally cooler La Niña conditions mean hard corals have recovered significant ground, regrowing from very low levels after a decade of cumulative disturbances to record high levels in 2022 across two-thirds of the reef. The Reef has shown an impressive ability to recover from widespread disturbances, when it gets a chance – it’s not all just bleaching and death

And of course there is still doom and gloom in that articles related to projections and theory. Just like the ice caps disappearing 5 or 10 years ago. But actual observations show what they show.

All of the couch scientist here know better tho bc its not cold somewhere this week by their house.

We really whipping back out the "science deniers" moniker? Remember the ice caps disappearing? Death by global cooling, then death by global warming, then let's call it all climate change? Remember the continual "tipping points"? Remember the need for a near future "category 6" on the scale for hurricanes? Remember the projected famines? First from being too cold and then from too hot?


Hell.. I bet you were ready to fight anyone who claimed Covid 19 was from a lab in Wuhan and not a "wet market"

Forgot about that. Hypocrisy at the highest level

intervention? While I don’t fully accept the standard Econ 101 framing of negative externalities, let’s grant for the sake of argument that they exist. Even then, the central issue is not merely whether costs must be allocated, but who is best positioned to do so under conditions of limited knowledge and imperfect incentives.

Why must there be costs associated with environmental protections? Would legislation prohibiting fertilizer runoff in rivers have to cost money? We are the most innovative species the globe has ever known.

Even feminism?

We don’t even agree on what this term means.

I wish the increase in atmospheric CO2 would help my garden. My thumb is nowhere near green. I can grow strawberries and peppers like no one's business, but absolutely suck at everything else.

Blackberries are pretty easy. Okra is super duper easy.

We don’t even agree on what this term means.

bullshite.

But let's play it your way.

According to your definition, even feminism?

No.

I don’t think Christianity, or education, or friendships or families are scams either. This is silly.

If "everything is a scam," but academia and feminism aren't, then your assessment of what is and isn't a scam is pretty much worthless.

No offense.

We don’t agree on what feminism is

I don't know that that is true.

I don't know what you think feminism is, if you don't think it's a philosophy derived from the writings, speeches, and teachings of feminist authors, speakers, and teachers.
