And Hanson is an idiot. Lost his job over his BS.

So volcanoes don’t blast out CO2? Do tell.

Volcanoes emit 200 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) annually, while our automotive and industrial activities cause some 24 billion tons of CO2 yearly worldwide.

There are over 7.6 billion people on earth today... Can the Earth support this many people indefinitely? What will happen if we do nothing to manage future population growth and total resource use?

If we cannot manage climate change we are going to lose some of those resources, (land and fresh water) so population growth and climate change are indeed connected. https://theconversation.com/7-5-bill...-support-98797

Innovation, invention, ingenuity. Other foundations of Capitalism. One day we will be growing food in the oceans. And even better with the warmer and higher oceans. Virtually unlimited possibilities. Among the other many faults of leftists aside from the obvious fact that they are useless, is the fact that they are eternally pessimistic and fatalistic.

You have no way of knowing that. You're just repeating propaganda.

And soon we will be buying & selling houses online without the need for real estate agents. A huge number of social parasites will be eliminated when that occurs. Why do we allow a class of people to make 6% of a house’s value just to sell it? Seems a little shady to me. Think of how much money our society wastes on mere real-estate transactions. When all of that is automated, we will all be better off.

Quite possibly. We shall see. And since I don't have a right to a job, and I don't have a right to force people to pay me more than I'm worth, guess what? I have to find some other way to be of value to people. Or else poverty for me. And justified poverty. If I am not investigating the next act of my professional life at all times, then I deserve what happens to me.


So the future may eliminate my profession. But not today. Today real estate transactions are adversarial and nerve wracking and complicated and have a lot of moving parts, financially, legally, pragmatically, and psychologically. In today's market, people are still willing to pay for me to coordinate all of that and keep things together when the buyer and seller are ready to kill each other.


Automation will not change a lot of what I'm being paid to do. But who knows? Maybe I am indeed just another pending anachronism.

I just want to state that I have done the research, and the wildfire in Redding, California is definitely due to AGW. We will see more wildfires like this every day, and Armageddon is coming upon us. If we had just signed our country over to the developing world a few years ago in accordance with the Paris Accords and under the auspices of the United Nations, this could have been prevented.


Redistribution of wealth is the only way we are going to avoid this problem. I've researched it. The data clearly shows this and the deniers will deny but to no avail.


If you don't want more Reddings, sign on now, and make your check out to Ethiopia, c/o the United Nations. Don't be a denier.

The purpose of this thread is to point out the trends. If you care about future generations, you will want action taken immediately. If not, I suppose they can just burn.

If we didn't use a single fossil fuel from now til forever, it will still get hotter. The planet is wobbling closer to the sun.

Better yet, send me the checks. I will go see how the climate is in some vacation spots and report back.
