Thank you, Lego, for letting me simply tell you online which parts were missing from the boy's Christmas present and sending them to me,...
Let us save the earth
ReplyDeleteThey shouldn't refer to them as being beautiful.
ReplyDeleteNot unlike Antarctica's little sister, Greenland.
ReplyDeleteHow is that trouble? For whom? Humans? It's the planet we are on and it changes! I suppose it was trouble when the ice cap formed and changed the lives that were living on that continent before the ice! All things are relative....
ReplyDeleteLOL...and a wandering "climate change is no big deal" denier happens by... ;-)

ReplyDeleteIt is a problem for about 2 billion people currently residing on the planet's coastlines over the coming years. The lakes are a precursor to glacial collapse. Many of the world's largest cities are at risk to salt water intrusion of infrastructure. Cities like Miami Beach and New Orleans are already subject to regular flooding, not to mention the entire coastline of the Eastern US. Sea level is expected to rise 3 to 6 feet by 2100, just one human lifespan. The cost will impact everyone, indirectly, if not directly. Adding 6.4 billion people to the planet in the past 150 years (2 human lifespans) plus another 2 billion by 2050 makes things a little more complex than coming off the last ice age. It is happening a lot faster this time around with Human assistance.
I guess people need to move and stop having so many children. I wouldn't live on a flood plain or live on a earthquake fault line or live where tidal waves occur. The planet has cycles and that really is all there is to it. It's like all the folks who build homes on eroding shorelines on the oceans, and then want it to stop when their homes fall down. Humans aren't very logical..and they wonder why aliens don't make contact. It's pretty frightening to deal with anyone with low IQ's. Ants apply more logic in everyday activities!

ReplyDeleteRising sea level is a recent development. From 100 B.C. to A.D. 950, the researchers found sea level stable in North Carolina. From 950 to 1400, sea level rose at a rate of a bit over 0.02 inch per year due to the relative warmth during the Medieval Period. From 1400 until the mid 19th century, sea level was again stable due to the effects of the Little Ice Age. The rate of rise from 1880 through 1920 in North Carolina was 0.08 inch a year. The current rate is about 9 mm per year. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/06/110620161258.htm I live at the 6 foot waterline on a barrier island on the Florida Space Coast. I told my kids when they inherit the home in the next 30 years, they should probably sell it. According to NASA, there has been a significant acceleration over the past 30 years.
The planet is certainly changing at a accelerated rate! Fresh water is disappearing as sea levels rise. The heat from the sun is different then it was 30 years ago. The Gulf of Mexico's temperature is warmer, the marine life on the Pacific Is disappearing. I use to fly over the coastal Redwood forest and you could see the trees were dying from the top. We lost millions of trees in the forests here in Northern California this year. I don't know enough to point to any single cause beyond an over populated planet. I remember in 1972 my Granfather telling me that droughts and climate warming were going to occur in the years to come. He was Chief of Security for the Atomic Energy Commission at the time. He related it was caused by a extremely large hydrogen bomb they had set off near the North Pole, which shifted the earth on it axis 1/10 of a degree and caused a wobble. I had the DOD warn me about speaking about this and some other things, and since then I have had to put my signature to several Dept. Of Homeland Security documents. I will tell you this because I know this is the real cause of the climate changes the world is going through now. I would sell and find a place of higher elevation with a good water source if you want to leave your children anything of value. JFK had secret meetings at my GF's home in Las Vegas, the last being 10 days before being murdered. Good luck..
ReplyDeleteMental illness is so sad.
ReplyDeleteCraig Froehle A dull uninformed mind is even more dangerous...
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful, but very sad to see!!!

ReplyDeleteMy first 20 year career was in nuclear weapons. Nothing in your earlier post ever happened. My second career was in management at Cape Canaveral. There are drugs available that will help you overcome your delusions.
Global warming is really dangerous.the world leaders should take immediate steps in conserving the atmosphere.
ReplyDeleteDipali Sengupta
ReplyDeleteThe problem is not with the leaders, but with consumers, who always get what they demand, even if it isn't good for them. Every time we buy something that contributes to an unsustainable lifestyle, we perpetuate the problem. Then there is the problem of waste with 95% of everything we buy showing up in a landfill within six months or burned and released into the atmosphere.
Fresh understanding of West Antarctica has revealed how the region's ice sheet could become unstable in a warming world. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/08/160822111801.htm
ReplyDeleteAt least the government can Ban all sorts of plastic bags being used randomly by the consumers.
ReplyDeleteThis is all scary. I pray something is done before it is too late. I love this Earth. May God save the Earth and us.....Amen
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, it is not yet scary enough to cause most Carbon consuming industries to change the way they do business. I live at the six foot waterline on Florida's Space Coast on the Inter-Coastal Waterway. I told my children they should sell the home when they inherit it in the next 30 years, rather than continue living here. By then, sea level should be 1 to 2 feet higher. Miami Beach, a few hours south, is already flooding with every passing storm.
ReplyDeleteit's a matter of great concern.we utmost need to save our mother earth.
ReplyDeleteStunning
ReplyDeleteDecir lo contrario del problema del calentamiento global es de ignorante vamos a salvar nuestro planeta para las generaciones venideras
ReplyDeleteIt's the utmost responsibility of every human to save our mother earth by planting more and more trees.
ReplyDeleteThe warmer the ocean gets, the faster the glaciers calve and flow off the land into the sea . http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/09/12/science/earth/ocean-warming-climate-change.html?_r=1
