I know some of you climate change deniers think all of this is akin to black magic and voodoo, but the reality is, we humans are killing this little planet we live on, and it is suffering and fighting back at an alarming rate.
If you do not see the consequences of putting our heads in the sand, then you have ignored all of the disasters going on around the country more and more every year. I live in Florida, and we used to chuckle when a hurricane was coming because they never hit us. Now, we do pay attention because we have seen a dramatic change in those things happening on a regular basis.
But anything I, or anyone else, types here is never going to convince you, at least not until the water is lapping at your heels and you wonder why. Knowing some of you, even that will not change your minds.
Calm down dude. There is nothing that "we humans" can do to to kill this "little planet". Unfounded emotion overrides science here.
I'm in Louisiana, so understand bad weather!
We may or may not be having an effect on ourselves, but the planet Earth is a sphere of rock and gas. It has no awareness of what is occuring!
It is not some being as so many like to romanticize.
Earth will be here in a similar condition 50-million years from now with another random set of inhabitants.
Their geologists will speculate as to when life began on Earth as do ours.
A galactic cook-off and 4-million years would erase any trace of our present existence.

We are a mere flash in time.
"The Earth will shake us off like a bad case of fleas....The planet is doing fine....been here 4 billion years.....survived earthquakes, hurricanes, asteroids, the magnetic reversal of the poles....and we think that a few aluminum cans, and plastic bags, are going to amount to anything"....George Carlin

We aren't capable of killing the planet. The planet will be just fine. Humans will go extinct at some point as all species do and will. The planet will live on without us. Stop your alarmist over reactions.
But been there, done that, as discussed in the August 30, 1973 issue of the New York Times (link, excerpts below) before "climate change" became a pet cause: There's always some pet cause or panic to alarm us, to make people where a puss on their face.
There's also very little evidence to support the latest alarums. We're being told,as stated in the January 10, 2019 article "(a)bsent global action to reduce carbon emissions, the authors said, the warming alone would cause sea levels to rise by about a foot by 2100, and the ice caps would contribute more. That could exacerbate damages from severe coastal flooding and storm surge." I suspect actual people have more pressing worries.
It's always funny how the right is the first to scream and yell about some new imagined threat no matter how small, or believe in some crazy conspiracy theory, but will quickly and viciously deny any scientific findings or evidence about something when Fox news or some paid politician tells them otherwise. Congrats on being the sheep that you all are.
Yeah, the thousands of impartial scientists, who study these things, saying that climate change is real and a problem are all paid to scare the bejesus out of people, for some unknown reasons. I realize education is a scary subject to many Trumpees, but believe it or not, there ARE people out there who know what they are talking about and who are simply telling us what they see.
Perhaps, but we have no way of knowing that. The Left has told too many Big Lies. We cannot trust anything the Left says.
I’ve yet to see one person here effectively demonstrate through peer-reviewed scientific data how AGW is affecting our planet. I know that plenty of data exists, yet all I ever see here are emotional pleas and insults in rebuttal to the topic.
It’s pretty simple: it’s a put up or shut up topic. Either bring data to the table, or leave the topic for professionals to continue sorting out. Seems reasonable, no?
The sky is falling crowd, who like to talk about global warming, DON'T like to talk about other Global facts:
More than 50% of the humans on Earth do NOT own a car, so if they do, they are polluting more than 1/2 the humans globally. Yet, they see themselves as environmentally sensitive & superior. Some have multiple cars, and boats, and motorcycles, ect..
Only 20% of humans gobally have air-conditioning, so if they do, they are polluting more than 80% of humans globally.
Oh, and most eat meat too!
Globally, the sky's falling global-warming sea-rising crowd are seen as fossil fuel consuming gluttonous PIGS by the rest of the World!
Yet, here they all are, trying to tell us about all of their fears, & blaming everyone but themselves for the melting icecaps.

I am not a member of "the right";
I have questioned the mental stability of a close friend when he expressed belief in Alex Jones;
On my own and without recourse to media, Fox or otherwise, I decided, when I first heard about "greenhouse effect" and "global warming" during the torrid summer of 1988 that Hansen's "testi-lying" before Congress on the subject was high comedy; and
I am suspicious of people who make ad hominem attacks and have no remedy for the alleged problem, i.e. "global warming."
