What exactly has transpired, in your opinion, from "climate change" that makes this an "emergency"?
We are entering a Grand Solar Minimum. Beard, if temps fall as a result of the Grand Solar Minimum, can we say (since CO2 is the source of all "climate change") that we must then INCREASE CO2 production to combat the cooling?
You see................ academic fraud is somewhat of a slippery slope. When temps fall (they can't go on faking them forever), there should be a logical demand for us to increase fossil fuel consumption. Will you support such measures? If not, you really don't believe in CO2 driven "climate change".
Step outside for a moment and analyze your position. When, if ever, is there a singular cause of any natural phenomenon? Do you not find it odd that little old CO2 is presumed to have this magical power to do nearly everything that is harmful to the planet?
You do realize, don't you, that CO2 provides the carbon that is the building block of organic life. All of the carbon compounds in your body were once CO2. Now, you hate CO2- the very gas that has been kind enough to allow you to exist on this planet. Would it not be more gracious to pick on another, less vital gas?
Peer-reviewed research, physics, and math all tell us that a grand solar minimum would have no more than a 0.3°C cooling effect, barely enough to put a dent in human-caused global warming.
What I do know is salt water did not come through the sewers in Miami beach 30 years ago like it does now. Areas of Maryland are now continuously flooded due to rising sea levels.
We can argue about the science, but the effects are already starting. States losing coast line would count as an emergency to me.
As a Maryland resident, note that I'm right on the Chesapeake, I have to ask what areas are continuously flooded.
Why just 30 years? You aren't fooling anyone.... According to the graph on the link you provided sea level in Florida has risen 0.3 meters since 1900....That equals 11.8 inches.

Just like they talked about the terrible floods in my area. 2011 was about like this year and 1993 and 1950 were worse. They believe the media hype.
