Climate is your religion. I am a sinner to you. You think you are going to heaven because you believe, and you want to punish the unbelievers. It's not new man. Instead of LOL man maybe try to be yolo man. Life is too short to focus on 140 years of something that should only be measured in millions of years.
That mining is environmentally and humanely friendly, correct? Please don’t tell us we are polluting to get cobalt or that slave labor is used so we can feel good. Acceptable sacrifices?
That bastion of truth... feds... it's bullshit kings. It really is. Does the climate change? Yep just as it has since the earth was created. Is there any evidence that humanity is causing any significant change? No.Fed directs big banks to disclose how they are preparing for climate change risks
The institutions are to show the impact that climate could have on their loan portfolios and commercial real estate holdings.www.cnbc.com
Looks like climate change is becoming more widely accepted. Hopefully, everyone can get behind it.
Earth's climate has changed throughout history. In the past 650,000 years, there have been seven cycles of glacial advance and retreat, with the abrupt end of the last ice age about 11,700 years ago marking the beginning of the modern climate era—and of human civilization. Most of these climate changes are attributed to very small variations in Earth's orbit that alter the amount of energy our planet receives from the sun. But the warming we've seen over the past few decades is too rapid to be linked to changes in Earth's orbit and too large to be caused by solar activity.
Directing entities you have a level of power over to do something is proof of broad acceptance? Interesting take.Fed directs big banks to disclose how they are preparing for climate change risks

I just hope that these people pay a price if they are wrong. I don't claim to know what will happen but these people are making decisions that will effect billions of people's lives because they say they know.Fed directs big banks to disclose how they are preparing for climate change risks

Freud first reported on projection in an 1895 letter, in which he described a patient who tried to avoid confronting her feelings of shame by imagining that her neighbors were gossiping about her instead. Psychologists Carl Jung and Marie-Louise von Franz later argued that projection is also used to protect against the fear of the unknown, sometimes to the projector’s detriment. Within their framework, people project archetypal ideas onto things they don’t understand as part of a natural response to the desire for a more predictable and clearly-patterned world.
And guess what? Making everyone poorer will not stop it. If we eliminated the US off the face of the earth it would drop if a few %'s.
Politics has no relevance in this thread. There are no political solutions only distractions. This thread is beyond politics as there simply isn't time to gain enough political influence to have any meaning.
They also possess the best information to make these decisions.
Actually, some anthropologists and number crunchers believe that the population will peak and start to decrease over the next 25 years.
just read China is now at zero growth and the US is only like .1% That's good news IMO.
It isn’t the number of people alone that is ruining the earth. Developing countries want the same luxuries and conveniences as the rest of the world.
Not good for China. They are going to find a population hole that they better resolve or it may really impact their economy.
I think this is most likely wrong. It completely discounts human ingenuity. We claim that global warming is harming people, yet poverty is at an all time low, I believe. Things are supposed to be getting worse, yet people are living better in parts of the world where there has been real pain. The idea that there is one factor that dictates our future and that factor is population rejects a lot and is very linear thinking.
That's some solid copying and pasting, my friend. Even if I accept the scientific conclusions you dutifully copied as true, the real challenge is getting China and India to reduce their emissions. The U.S. has reduced its GHG emissions for a quite a number of years now. What you and I do regarding climate change is pissing in the wind as long as they keep churning out the emissions.
You're not going to reduce your way out of anything. That time has passed. Matter of fact, we'll warm even faster. I've explained this multiple times. It was on full display during the COVID shutdowns:
I read my post and your post and I question whether you know the meaning of “close-minded.” And you close with a prediction that Soylent Green was prophetic. Look, I don’t doubt that some crazed politicians and scientists will confuse humanity for food, but I doubt they come out of my camp, but rather the camp that sees no hope for humanity. And, checkout the most recent news about the Great Barrier Reef. It will make your day!!
Here’s all you need to know, that’s just one person. Kerry and the rest are just carrying the flags 🍺The summary of that article is not as rosy as you seem to think. Viewed objectively, it describes an environment that still faces powerful adversaries, such as crown-of-thorns starfish and high temperature water.
And it’s just one example of an area where conservationists are trying hard to prevent catastrophic results. Coral reefs all over the earth are facing extinction. There is an endless list of situations all over the earth where humanity is negatively affecting the environment.
Threats to coral reefs:

The Reefs at Risk program at the World Resources Institute uses GIS to map and analyze threats to coral reefs while promoting reef conservation education.www.esri.com
My stance is that the unregulated growth of the human population is doing irreversible damage to our world, and that the only solution includes a radical reduction in our numbers. However, I’m extremely pessimistic that we, as a species, can stop the destruction.
