Ima, do you know anything about global thermodynamics? If there is increased heat in some areas, there will increased cold in others. With temps higher on both ends, the areas in between will be subjected to terrible storms, and there will be droughts in areas where high pressures dominate. Much farm land will be lost, as will much of our water-shed (where drinking water comes from).When you are out of water and food has become horribly expensive and wildfires burn out of control, maybe you’ll pull your head from your ass and notice that the climate had already changed worldwide when you posted that bit of crap above.
Tigger, you’ve had global climate change explained to you multiple times in these threads, and you refuse to learn from scientists that know considerably more on the subject. Ima’s a jackass with zero authority or knowledge on the matter. Part of wisdom is knowing how to judge what information is reliable and another part is being able to assess the quality of a persons character. Listening to Ima on climate change fails on both accounts.
I’ve posted on the global cooling in the 70s question before, but I guess it’s time for a repeat — not that it will do any good. But here it is. The following is from the wiki article on global cooling: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_cooling
In the 1970s, there was increasing awareness that estimates of global temperatures showed cooling since 1945. Of those scientific papers considering climate trends over the 21st century, only 10% inclined towards future cooling, while most papers predicted future warming.2 The general public had little awareness of carbon dioxide’s effects on climate, but Science News in May 1959 forecast a 25% increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide in the 150 years from 1850 to 2000, with a consequent warming trend.3 The actual increase in this period was 29%. Paul R. Ehrlich mentioned climate change from greenhouse gases in 1968.4 By the time the idea of global cooling reached the public press in the mid-1970s temperatures had stopped falling, and there was concern in the climatological community about carbon dioxide’s warming effects.5 In response to such reports, the World Meteorological Organization issued a warning in June 1976 that a very significant warming of global climate was probable.6
In other words, it was a minority opinion and it was soon disproved. That’s how science works. I’m old enough to remember the whole thing.

Nope. But there is a global warming angle — if you were honest enough to bring it up…

Not yet talking head. Wait a while and they will find it hard to buy food too.

I know what’ll fix that drought, tax cuts for the 1%.
