    A lot of politicians put theit political carreer on the line about it. and they are usually the kinds of politicians I can do without.

    Nope, nothing that matters.

    Higher water levels = more surfing areas

      I thought that global warming decreases water levels due to evaporation and drought-like conditions?  I know you might be referring to increased water levels of oceans due to melting glaciers and melting ice bergs, but I fought thought they compete with water loss.

    You see Randy, the level of misunderstanding is great. Sadly this is fanned by the alarming level of denial, and frankly, outright stupidity. 

    Reading some of the misguided entries under your thoughtful question gives me pause of why to persist in discussion with so many people of such low intellectual caliber. You are among the small number of muggers who can discuss this topic competently, and I respect you for that.

    Big corporations make a lot of money out of it, and world leaders get to fly their private jets to world economic forums.

    By the way, all the green, clear and brown bottles at bottle banks all end up in one great pile, the separating them bit is just to brainwash you into being a subservient citizen.  Some areas don't even recycle especially those far from cities.

    Those pesky dinosaurs that brought on climate change and the ice age, too much farting!

    I remember the New Year's Eve of 2001, it was colder in Florida than it was in NYC.  When I got to the airport, I had to go and buy long sleeve shirts and another pair of jeans.

    Warm weather = bumper crops

    For the last eighty or so years, weather people and farmers have acknowledged that the flood of food in USA is due to unusually warm weather, not improved machinery or fertilizers.

      Too bad we Americans waste so much of that food, right?

    Except when it's destroyed by wildfires or wilted by drought.

    The entertainment provided by those hysterical about something that isn't there.  Again, people believe what the media tells them to believe.................1984, oh, and that scientist....what's his name?......Gore; that's it.   Scientist?

    Let me get this straight - you believe the 2% of scientists, backed by vested interests, who deny what the other 98% are demonstrating? Figures CAN'T lie.

    You have simply lost any credibility.

    The science is settled on climate change, it’s causes, processes and it’s ongoing threat to life. We cannot teach a closed mind. The evidence awaits your perusal. 

    There is a striking commonality of those who deny science, deny facts and the inherently obvious, or invent their own facts, and support the stooge in the White House. Just striking.

    If you aren’t part of the solution you are part of the problem.

    It could also mean: "More time for fish parasites to find a home" :)

  • There is usually a negative side to everything that is good, but I find that if I don't dwell on that, that I don't have to take as many pills.

    Acidification of the ocean = no food for smaller fish = no food for bigger fish = no fish. It's happened before, 600mya at the end of the Permian.

    Proof that the earth goes in cycles....there were no men around 600mya to blame then.

    No cycle, it happened over 50,000 years due to half a continent erupting. The Siberian Traps, a supervolcano to end all supervolcanos, the Earth will never see the like again (the Yellowstone caldera is a party popper by comparison, not in the same class). 
    This time it's happening at an unprecedented rate - 200 years, an eyeblink in the scale of geological time and there isn't any unusual amount of volcanic activity happening either. It's all us.
