LEGO Americana Roadshow: Building Across America I just checked out this traveling exhibition from LEGO and was quite impressed. The scale ... -

When we let politics trump science, people are needlessly put in harm's way. http://arstechnica.com/science/2017/01/self-censoring-fears...
Part of me is curious to see how they will take it when it turns out to undeniable (not that it is not now), but then I remember, people blame Obama for Katrina, so they, as usual, will deflect and blam someone else. "We were never told the extent...." "We have been trying to combat this for ages....." "Vote for us, we will put forth climate bills! (Puts forth anti abortion, pro corporate bills)"
ReplyDeletePlease send some of the warming to us in the great white north...it's minus 26....has been like this for 10 or 11 days...
ReplyDeleteHyperborea, HERE WE COME!
ReplyDeleteThis is great news.
Randy Sagoo You're confusing weather and climate.
ReplyDeleteThe people in power that deny the overwhelming evidence need to be taken to task for ignoring and decrying the obvious. The people in industry that deny in the name of profit should be taken the court for damages when they occur. ( flooding from climate change related causes for example) Relieve them of that which they love the most. Every penny of it. Politicians can be voted out, or impeached when applicable.
ReplyDeleteCraig Froehle just trying to be funny. I do believe that as humans we are destroying Earth and we should do more to clean up...
ReplyDeleteOn another note, our golf season up here started two weeks early and went for a month longer. It's cold right now but very little snow which is very strange...
There was an alt right meme going around I saw yesterday that basically said, when you hear peer reviewed reach for your Browning, a recast of a line from a play written in 1933 and produced for Hitler's 44th birthday.
ReplyDeleteAs if shooting all the scientists would change the reality...but some are evidently comfy with that level of thinking.
Craig Froehle yes, weather is what is happening today in a certain location, climate is what is happening over the entire world for years to millenium.
ReplyDeleteWhether we deny or accept, we all use fossil fuels in our day to day lives. A new energy infrastructure needs to be built and it needs to be economical. Accepting or denying climate change won't by itself fix the problem.
ReplyDeleteSteve-O The problem with people in power sticking their heads in the sand, is that if we continue with unsustainable and destructive policy. That exacerbates the damage being done.
ReplyDeletePeople are forgetting that Greenland is far more alarming.
ReplyDeleteJust make sure your LEA is 200+ ft above sea level and don't sweat it! XD
ReplyDeleteWell, I would say W E are all sticking our heads in the sand, and continue with unsustainable and destructive lifestyle!!!
ReplyDelete- our houses are full of plastic stuff
- we line up every day - idling ... - at drive-thru's
- we buy, buy, buy every crap that is offered
- we build houses that are way to large, land we never use
- we are having lawns, even in the desert, with all its maintenance, gas-fired mowers, gallons of pesticides ....
- in many states, like SC, FL etc. people are not even separation their garbage
- we are idling, idling, idling instead of shutting down the engine if not needed for driving
I am stopping here, not boring you with pages and pages of O U R sins. Why not just start living a sustainable life - before pointing to industry and government??? If everyone would have their house with geothermal cooled/heated, if everyone would drive a solar or an electric car, and buy only what's really necessary - the industry would sell VERY few oil and stop producing crappy plastic stuff .... only then there will be change. We are sitting in the glass house and should not throw stones. Hope you get the point. Thanks, Doris

ReplyDelete-We buy used as much as possible, and avoid plastic, we have our own grocery bags we re-use.
-I don't drive: I walk and take public transit
-We only buy exactly what we need, and used if we can.
-We live in the city, in a building over 100 years old.
-No lawn XD and rain here is plentiful.
-~95% of our trash is recycled
-I don't drive.
=D
First REDUCE.
If you can't REDUCE, RE-USE.
If you can't RE-USE, RE-CYCLE.
Isn't it an act of aggression, of hostility, to actively promote the production of hydrocarbons for the benefit of one small set of people when it is demonstrable that others will suffer and die? Isn't that war? Isn't it a crime against humanity?
ReplyDeleteDavid Collin Slow-motion genocide is fine, at least by today's legal standards.
ReplyDeleteRandy Sagoo In the great white far north. The Artic, native towns are being impacted by the lack of sea ice. Just as it affects Polar bears, they too need ice to hunt for seals and walruses. The sea ice forms out at sea now. When it drifts to the shore, it rips out giant chunks of shore line. This threatening their towns directly. The elders have never experienced this, nor have their spoken history told of this ever happening in the past.
ReplyDeleteI've been watching this site nigh on 5 years now...
