Climate threads need a Snowguy trigger warning.

Interestingly...warming in California is positively correlated to county population size!


There can be some of a heat island effect, but even the low population counties are still warming.

Of course, Jfern.  I'm not trying to say global warming isn't a thing.  I'm saying the collective freakout is unneccesary and harmful.  Not only to the economy, but also to other, more imminent environmental concerns.

Reduce, reuse, recycle is infinitely better advice than "OMFG IF WE DONT CHAIN OURSELVES TO THE COAL PLANT FENCE THE OCEAN WILL RISE 2 feet in the NEXT 20 YEARS!  Sorry Doctor Hansen, it didn't happen...

I get my climate science info from climate scientists and their research...not some moonbat "journalist" on Salon.com who just cites Bill effing Nye to PROVE the Texas floods were caused by co2 warming cuz warmer atmosphere holds something something moisture.

Hint:  I understand the climate and meteorological underpinnings as well as the real human impact (land use much?) that played into those floods.  Co2, at most, had almost nothing to do with it.

But nobody would care to read that.  Cuz Bill Nye is the science guy and I'm the stupid denier!

Oh good, I thought you were one of the people who didn't think global warming was going on at all.

But we need to do some serious planning in order to curb the effects of climate change, even a two foot rise of the oceans would be devastating to some communities, especially in areas like Bangladesh where the government really can't put much towards protecting the communities along the coasts, and hundreds of thousands, if not millions, would be displaced from their homes in these high-density areas.





Climate change won't change much in Minnesota, but in poorer regions of the world, or even where I live, Florida, it would have a profound impact.

I hope millions upon millions *are* displaced from their ramshackle tin boxes into quality housing through economic growth.  Then I hope India and Bangladesh can invest in their infrastructure to withstand the very extreme climate they inhabit.  Getting tropical levels of annual rainfall all in 3 months is not an easy environment to adapt to!

I don't see the evidence for this "collective freakout". If what you mean is that the rhetoric and histrionics adopted by some on the left hurts the cause of environmentalism more than it helps it, I agree. But I can't think of a single negative policy change enacted in the name of climate change, while our inaction on the issue is hurting our economy and the planet both in the short AND long term. We're protecting antiquated industries instead of evolving our economy to a more sustainable model.

Allegedly environmentally conscious San Francisco has been accurately described as a "toilet" by the local newspaper yesterday.  Yet the home of Tom Steyer insists on lecturing the rest of the world.

My issue with the climate change activists isn't whether they are right or wrong.  It's that they see dollar signs in this - and they want to control the way the rest of us live.

Even if you can't say global warming caused a specific weather event, floods, hurricanes and so on are all more likely to occur with global warming.
