    Exactly what would we running from?
    Thanks for the red snubbles, but that was a serious question, what is the worst that can happen by the temperature of the earth going up a few degrees.
    Sea levels displacing 100s of millions of people.

    Extreme weather events that affect 100s of millions more, due to crop or property damage.

    I would think they are the biggest two in terms of human impact.

    Where are these 100s of millions? Why aren't they in the news?

    I'm all for doing something about climate change.

    All I see going on is alarmist BS and carbon credit pandering of the mega-rich and big business.

    How about really doing something!

    Zero emission mandates?
    Petrol rationing?
    A moratorium on personal motor vehicles?
    Stop the 36 billion a year subsidies for the beef industries?
    Return agriculture to an 8 food crop rotation?

    Why isn't libtard media telling you these things, Harry?

    If you had read and understand the discussion you would have noticed that this was the reply to the question, what will happen when the temperatures rise by a few degrees. Which has not happened yet but is happening.

    But actually I believe this is not the worst that would happen. After all when the big coastal cities like New York, Bangkok, Tokyo, Calcutta, Hamburg, London............ are gone we could just build new ones.

    No the big threat is something else. The last few 10,000 years had a very unusual stable weather pattern, minor deviations like the little ice age notwithstanding. It is no accident that after the beginning of that stable period the first big agricultural societies emerged, leading to the civilization we now have. We are on the way to end that stable period. No more reliable agricultural output. Constant shifting of climate patterns. What grows in one area this year will not grow in the same region next year. Resulting massive drop in agricultural output.

    No fun, I assure you. As a species we can survive but maybe it is back to hunter gatherer and a few hundred thousand people as the world population.

    Oh come on, it's Mr. Earl you're talking about here.




    Still, he asked a question:

    So Balk and some colleagues used satellite data to map out places along the coast that have low elevations — less than 30 feet above sea level. Then, to find out who lived there, they looked at census figures from 224 countries.

    The numbers showed that low-elevation areas are home to 634 million people.

    "Roughly one in 10 persons in the world lives in this low-elevation coastal zone," Balk says.

    Some of the countries have very large populations: The 10 countries with the most people in the low coastal areas are China, India, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Indonesia, Japan, Egypt, United States, Thailand, and the Philippines.

    Sure enough, sea levels might start rising, but why focus on that when the issue of air quality right now threatens peoples lives. This something very tangible and trading carbon credits isn't going to fix it.
    People are dying right now because of shitty air quality. Why not deal with the air quality now, instead of blubbering on about hypothetical sea levels.
    Why can't you libtards address the fact people are being killed right now because of this environmental disaster.
    I think you should agree it is a disaster and there should be an emergency declared.
    Anything short of that is bullshit.
    Blathering away about hypothetical sea levels does more harm than good.
    There is an emergency crisis right now which the libtard media is not addressing.

    Unfortunately people in Northern Thailand and other affected areas in that region, and major Chinese and Indian cities, don't read the NYT or watch BBC News.

    It's their governments job to take action.

    Or have you missed all the legislation in the West against atmospheric pollution?

    Yea Harry I seem to have completely missed the discussions of zero emissions and zero emission mandates.
    Please direct me!
    I also missed the discussion on petrol rationing and a moratorium on the personal motor vehicle.
    Please direct me!

    I did notice some pandering of big business with bullshit carbon credit measures.

    Carbon credit aren't going to remedy the environmental emergency which exists right now.
    A carbon credit isn't going to save anyone's life or prevent the hypothetical rise in sea levels.

    I also missed any media discussion of ceasing the 36 billion dollar subsidies for the beef industry, another major greenhouse gas producer.
    Where is the media on this?

    Trading carbon credits is all about income redistribution, and only benefits the corrupt officials of the countries on the receiving side of the cash, stupid.

    Gore said the Arctic ice would be gone by now, what happened? If the melting of arctic ice is what you are counting on to raise the oceans enough to displace millions looks like you will have a long wait.

    You seem to be the idiot, by responding to my post you absolutely said you think what you posted to be things to run away from, I imagined nothing, I asked what we would be running away from and you responded, think about it if you posses that ability.

    Nope, that's outside Harry's skill set. Harry(and many others here) only see and believe what mainstream media spoon feeds them.
    They have all the self awareness of a parrot.
    It be a curious thing to observe.

    Sad though because the planet suffers these idiots. Yet it really isn't their fault because they are products of the liberal one size fits all education.


    An education which doesn't allow for thoughtful inquiry.



    The global warming issue is a perfect example how incapable of thoughtful inquiry the climate change alarmist community is.

    No questions about the carbon credit bullshit.

    No questions about zero emissions.

    No questions about the beef industry.

    No questions why the Amazon rain forest is being cut down.

    No questions why China abandoned the bicycle for the motorcar.

    No questions why the food supply is contaminated with sugars and neurotoxins.

    No questions at all they just obey the media masters, buy their coco puffs and ridiculous 4dr toyota trucks.

    The earth suffers these idiots.

    Nope, thoughtful inquiry is forbidden in the modern world of big business sponsored government and media.

    The simple elegant solution to global warming; ride a bicycle.

    Seeing as the original question from me was what should we run from, then snubbles chimed in with some of his usual dribble, and you commented you most certainly was responding to my original post. But go ahead and lie your way out, you certainly are good at it, problem is your only fooling yourself.

    I suggest you refer to your earlier post where you asked "what is the worst that can happen by the temperature of the earth going up a few degrees.".

    I also suggest you get checked out for Alzheimers.
