The Climate Crisis

Some people wear ignorance like a badge of honor.

Record heat temperatures are regularly being broken and rebroken throughout the world. Ocean reefs are dying as the seas are heating up. The average intensity of storms is consistently getting stronger.

Yet, rightwingers still deny the overwhelming evidence that climate change-global warming is a scientific fact. But facts and evidence mean nothing to these ignorant goons.

Now, many of the rightwingers have started a flat earth movement. The rightwing is moving even further away from science and education. Knowledge escapes those who revel in their ignorance. For the sheepish, under educated masses who follow and support rightwingism, they will linger in their growing poverty as they worship the super rich that lead them by the nose.

It is an indication of how important some think it is to keep this issue front and center.

I guess much to the dismay of the rightwing elitists who work so hard to spread ignorance amongst the sheep that follow their hardline conservative propaganda.

The lack of commitment by global corporations in concert with spineless politicians does not bode well for any substantive action regarding the obvious need to address current climate crisis.

Quote by Chryses

The story started as “global warming” back in the 1980s. But that term was abandoned in favor of “climate change” or AGW, as the new name enabled the climate campaign to account for inconvenient things like cold weather. However, “climate change” failed to motivate the masses sufficiently, so now it has been renamed the “climate crisis.”

OMG!   OMG!   OMG!   It is a crisis! We must do something radical right now!

Quote by Chryses

... chuckling ... You guess much, but avoid agreeing or disagreeing with the idea the limited funds available will be better spent on ways to live with the unavoidable results of the hundreds of thousands or millions of tons of greenhouse gasses injected into the atmosphere since the beginning of the industrial revolution than to fail trying to avoid the results.

Fund? Maybe if l'd had time and space to discuss funding l would've. But now that you mention it, l have not seen rightwingers showing any concern for dealing with greenhouse gasses, rising ocean levels, on any level, much less funding measures to prepare for the future. I do see the rightwing opposing regulations on industry that attempts to protect the future of the planet.

And another whataboutism.

Why spend the large amount of money just to fail in the attempt?

Not what about isn't at all. Just outright denial and unwillingness ,and cowardice to deal with the problem, while lying to convince their uneducated worshippers that the problem doesn't exist.

Doing nothing while continuing on the path of polluting the planet guarantees failure, and will probably guarantee a cost too high to pay .

I advocate preparing for the future, cleaning up the planet, and changing course, so the human race can survive on this planet.

Pay now or pay more later.

Conservatives were cheering that climate change wasn’t a thing when it was cold a few months ago. But not that it’s way too hot they don’t apply the same logic.

Quote by Chryses

Weather is not climate. Even you know that.

And I’m sure you know that many climates are experiencing abnormal weather events.

Do you know that?

We absolutely can do something to battle the pollution that cause higher world temperatures, alter the atmosphere's chemistry, change ocean currents, and devegetize the continents.

If we don't battle the causes, anything else is like taking an lbuprofin to dull cancer pain.

Quote by Chryses

And no one has said otherwise.

What should be done about these changes should, if possible, avoid failure.

You implied otherwise when you played the semantics game with weather vs climate, as if one isn’t impacted by the other.

Cool, so if you’re going to keep posting the same response about discussions regarding how we handle climate change, then why continue this thread?

Quote by Chryses

Time to get on board, Felix.

How should the limited money available to be spent on this issue be spent?

Attempt to avoid what all the climate models present as inevitable?

Spend the money to plan for the inevitable?

Are you aware of other options?

I would require particle filters on hog pits for starters.

Quote by Chryses

No semantics game here. Try that with someone else.

You need not continue to contribute.

And I have my answer.
