I'll bet ya $20 (paypal f/f) that it will be warmer in Florida vs New York, on that day, at that time. That's a guarantee.So tell me which will be warmer at 11:00 AM on April 3rd 2019.

My comment was in regards to the fact that Brazil seems like it's gonna end up with a pro-business fascist as its president.Not really, if humans keep cutting them down then yes it will be a clusterfck.
But in hotter climates, they thrive and produce more oxygen up until 40c.
Once past 40c we are fcked, humidity doesn't play a factor but simply base temps.
What point are you trying to make?I'll bet ya $20 (paypal f/f) that it will be warmer in Florida vs New York, on that day, at that time. That's a guarantee.
Pack it up folks! You heard it here first. Massive Overpopulation isn't an issue. The destruction of the environment, overfishing, grand scale production of food and other life necessities or the destruction of the rain forrest isn't an issue.
And you clearly are a racist if you claim otherwise.
Predictions if a hard winter is coming are notoriously failing even if they might have a statistical probabilty of more than 50%
To explain to you why a long term prediction of climate is probably wrong, just an example:
- Climate experts mostly predict a warming of the athmosphere
- Climate experts are pretty much unsure about the impacts it has on the weather (maybe if there will be a huge increase in giant storms)
- Giant storms might (or might not) be responsible for a huge scale deforestation of earth
- A huge scale deforestation will result in extreme climate changes
Also nobody can predict how and if algae will adapt to rising ocean temperature. We might be fucked much sooner if they all die fast. But prediction of ecosystems is probably even harder than prediction of climate.
Another example:
- The rise of sea levels (different distribution of weight, vanishing of ice) might or might not have an impact on continental drifts
- Change in continental drifts might result in a huge increase of volcanic eruption
- The increase would result in less sun hitting earth and the climate cooling down
Climate prediction depends on statistics and using certain models for intrapolation. I doubt that any of these models takes into account nearly all parameters that can influence climate. Rising sea levels might open new ways for currents I am sure nobody could even seriously include in a model in addition to the change caused by rising water temperature.
And that doesn't even include man made changes. Some 30 years we were all poised to die of cancer because of ozone holes covering the whole planet. Nobody can say for sure, but man made changes might have prevented this with a speed nobody expected.
2100 is the time when we will already experience massive fallout from climate change. Mass starvation, mass extinction from plants and animals, extreme weather etc.I know you keep wanting to talk about over population, but bitching about countries having high birth rates flies in the face of real time data and the fact that based on current trends global population basically tops out around 10 to 11 billion or so by 2100.

Can't live long enough for something that will never existDamn, I'm not gonna live long enough to see a successful DC Film Universe. Feels bad man

The point of getting overpopulation in check is preventing all this.
If this information is accurate and we really are limited to 10 years then we are doomed. There are just too many morons in the world that believe climate change is a hoax. We would need a worldwide revolution in order to compensate.
And here we are with Republicans in control for the foreseeable future. Woohoo.
That was solved due to the fact that countries took concrete steps to prevent it. And guess what: we aren't doing shit to prevent climate change, and as long as we have capitalism we will burn every single last tree if we could make a buck doing so.And that doesn't even include man made changes. Some 30 years we were all poised to die of cancer because of ozone holes covering the whole planet.

What happened to we're past the point of no return?

Sorry but this isn't a good article. It not only ignores the negative influences of overpopulation on other factors than climate change (hint: we are destroying the environment in many different ways) but also the changing dynamics of first and developing world. Just because the US consumed the most ressources the last 50 years doesn't mean it will do so the next.Complaining about over population when trying to solve the issue of climate change is literally ignoring the main cause of climate change and who consumed the vast majority of the carbon budget the last 50 years and got us into this mess.
Population control would do nothing to prevent or curb dangerous climate change, advocating for it is beyond uneducated and ignorant.

Population growth is one of the least impactful causes of emission growth.
In fact, you could literally make an argument that if you want to curb climate change, you want people to keep pumping out babies. Nations with higher birth rates are often less developed and consume far less and have lower economic output, lowering their carbon output.
Complaining about population ignores the low growth rate of the US and the fact the US has the highest GDP/Carbon output in the world.
We're not limited to 10 years, 2030 was always a target for emission cuts for 1.5c targets.
Until November?

The developing world has a growing middle class that wants to live a first world lifestyle which means they are going to consume more and more ressources in the future.
How will Canada be affected by climate change? Will it become more livable due to warming or will it be hit with more blizzards as the arctic shelf melts and produces more moisture?
Should I look into buying a nice plot of land in upper Ontario?

It's still the same situation, if not worse, it's just now we're approaching the end line.We should push towards that goal regardless, but it feels like Iv heard this a few times already back in the past to the point that we should be dead by now if we took their words to a tee.
Who can provide for a better estimate than experts?We should push towards that goal regardless, but it feels like Iv heard this a few times already back in the past to the point that we should be dead by now if we took their words to a tee.
Probs both. Lesss bone splitting cold, more violent precipitation.
No point. Was taking an easy bet lol.What point are you trying to make?
That predicting the weather is easy yet predicting the climate is somehow more difficult?
every high level fossil fuel company executive from the last 40 years should be lined up against a wall and shot
they knew and they've been suppressing it
What did "we" do that we could have done differentlyWe let it happen though. I agree those people suck, but still.

All of us in this thread are listening to scientists and it doesn't matter because nobody with the ability to do anything is doing anything.Listen to scientists, protest, stop being selfish. It's too easy to point at a few people as the guilty ones. We all did this.

Using a car, using electricity, and living in a home are all essential to survive in the modern world. This isn't something that can realistically be avoided by making different choices on the individual level.Chances are people here are eating at mcdonalds, drinking coka-cola and driving around in a gas guzzling car using a lot of electric power on all the gadgets in their home that maybe comes from a coal power plant.

Because it's not something that can be changed by leaving your house and building an anti-global warming machine at the shop.Okay, but did you ever leave your house to try and change anything? I personally didn't.
