climate change

As Milton is doing his work, who will be the next hurricane to clobber Florida? Nadine? Oscar? Patty? Rafael? Forget Storm of the Century. How about Storm of the Week? But don't worry. Some people have an answer: Florida Gov. DeSantis signs bill that deletes climate change from state law...

Another summer gets underway in the US and here we go again. Already large parts of the US are contending with record-breaking heat that has also triggered torrential rains in many places. Even South Dakota's governor Kristi Noem felt it necessary to issue an emergency declaration due to heavy...

These are a few of the typical headlines from internet articles AND Youtube videos... that I see EVERY year when there is a snowfall in Brazil. Yes, because it DOES snow in Brazil every year. In the Northern Hemisphere Summer, obviously, because it's the Southern Hemisphere winter! :rolleyes...

So, we are at the height of summer in Europe, which of course, also means summer storms. Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands have seen some particularly severe flooding as a result. GUARDIAN Of course, the third world has always suffered from natural disasters but now that it hits Europe...

Those that are on YouTube might have seen this already, but if you haven't, let me tell you about #TeamTrees. So MrBeast, a YouTube creator hit 20 million subs a short while back, and as a way to celebrate he and Mark Rober have partnered with a huge number of other creators to form TeamTrees...

Iceland on Sunday honoured the passing of Okjokull, its first glacier lost to climate change, as scientists warn that some 400 others on the subarctic island risk the same fate. As the world recently marked the warmest July ever on record, a bronze plaque was mounted on a bare rock in a ceremony...

We have about 50-100 years to have a plan not only in place, but fully functional and actually drawing down legacy CO2 levels. This is an astonishingly short period of time. It is urgent, but it can be accomplished without panicking. The science is robust, but where many scientists have shot...

I know ISF has many British members and I was hoping to find some commentary here about this week's record heat in the UK, France and other parts of Europe. Here in the US, NBC News reported: Paris got to 105°F, Gilze-Rijen airbase in the Netherlands recorded a high of 104°F, while in Belgium...

https://arxiv.org/pdf/1907.00165.pdf Above is the study from a Finnish University. It claims humans contribute only .1% of atmospheric CO2. It also claims most of our warming over the last 100 years is due to cosmic rays. Can anyone take apart this study, piece by piece? Thanks.

I don't know enough about climate change to take a personal position on whether we have global warming or not. People keep telling me "97% of scientists say there is global warming that's caused by humans." Where did this 97% figure come from? I was recently told that the past two years have...

Is there a technically viable and economically advantageous solution to Climate Change and what is preventing its implementation?

Its cold in much of the USA, therefore global warming is fake. Haven't you heard? Just in case: yes that was sarcasm, but I've heard it said in earnest a few times this year already. This is a continuation of the Global warming discussion IV thread.

Can American soil be brought back to life? A new idea: If we revive the tiny creatures that make dirt healthy, we can bring back the great American topsoil. But farming culture — and government — aren't making it easy. By JENNY HOPKINSON Most farmers hate politics, but here is a good...

"The $696 billion bill, which sets up the military’s 2018 fiscal year budget, passed by a vote of 344-81." "The surprising section calls global warming “a direct threat to the national security” and instructs the Pentagon to create a report on how climate change could affect the military. It...

Very disturbing article here that argues that measures against climate change are too little too late and the repercussions of climate change have been severely understated. It's a long article that goes into -Die-off -Food security -War -Air quality -Water security Etc If this is only half...

What's Causing Louisiana's Historic Flooding? Louisiana flooding: West Nile, not Zika, poses bigger threat I don't remember any think like this, except, perhaps for Hurricane Katrina. Do you all remember anything like this? I hope that everyone remains healthy.

This could possibly belong in the conspiracy section since so much of science denier reasoning comes down to a great conspiracy by all science and science institutions. However I post it here in case anyone wants a diversion into the unsettling side of logic and cares to try on the Trump crowd...

Fox News continues to be obtuse and evil. On their Fox Business subsidiary Stewart Varney and Fox pundit Mark Steyn decided that Bernie Sanders talking about climate change being a larger threat than Islamic terrorism was a starting point for a dark joke...

This thread is continued from here. A few years ago I stumbled across this forum (technically JREF's back then) in my search for knowledge and to satisfy my curiosity. I was one of those 'fence sitters' where I wasn't sure what to believe. Since then, I have moved closer to town to shorten...
