Which is rising faster, the sea level, OR gas prices?Remember that one is a fallacy, and the other WE can see, on a daily basis, with our own lying eyes.
Plants more trees ya steenky hoomins. Makes more green plants and all. More greenery means more oxygen and less CO2. Ain’t no rocket science. A 100% pure natural organic solution for problem.
It’s true. Soon, the Laurentide Glacier will be history, and the Saharan Great Lakes will be nothing but sand. And sea rise is likely to wipe out every trace of civilization around the globe.
Checking the comments just to see people denying climate change (they’re wrong) and people pointing out that lemmings don’t kill themselves (they’re right).
Just a short time ago, we spent a week with the air smelling like a campfire and you could hardly see the sun. Because of a wildfire 1000 miles away. You’d think that would have gotten people’s attention. But no. NOTHING is more important than the “right” of giant corporations to pour poison into the air we breathe. Nothing.
And if climate change isn’t happening, we’d feel really foolish if we had cleaner air and water for nothing, wouldn’t we?
Just Wait a minute trump and the very knowledgeable republicans have repeatedly told the world that climate change is a hoax and we have nothing to worry about!! HaHaHa!
Oh, sure they will. That’s the real solution that some people want — they just don’t want to set the example themselves. It’s 90% of the REST of the population we need to get rid of to save the planet.
I used to love playing Lemmings on the old Acer PC. And Jill of the Jungle, Cosmo, Crystal Caves…… I mean Candy Crush is nice and all, but there was something mesmeric about those little lemmings marching across the screen.
ALL the items spouted by Pig are media and elitist drivel. We have problems but until we actually recognize them things will keep on getting worse. Problem: Long ago I could get 6 tacos at In-A-Tub on North Oak Trafficway for $1.50…now tacos are $3.00 each almost everywhere. Or more. A candy bar was either $0.05 or $0.10. NOW: gads…$2.50 plus. I blame it all on going off the gold standard and mysterious noises off the coast of New Jersey.
Lemmings do not commit suicide. However, this particular myth is based on some actual lemming behaviors. Lemmings have large population booms every three or four years. When the concentration of lemmings becomes too high in one area, a large group will set out in search of a new home. Lemmings can swim, so if they reach a water obstacle, such as a river or lake, they may try to cross it. Inevitably, a few individuals drown. But it’s hardly suicide. But the biggest reason the myth endures? Deliberate fraud. For the 1958 Disney nature film White Wilderness, filmmakers eager for dramatic footage staged a lemming death plunge, pushing dozens of lemmings off a cliff while cameras were rolling. The images—shocking at the time for what they seemed to show about the cruelty of nature and shocking now for what they actually show about the cruelty of humans—convinced several generations of moviegoers that these little rodents do, in fact, possess a bizarre instinct to destroy themselves.
The sad part is, the only real way to help is to die, because then you stop consuming. (And please please PLEASE opt for an eco-friendly disposal of your remains!)
So the environmental hazard dead lemmings is ……..wait I’ve never heard of dead lemmings piles on news….so could it be short cliff and same lemmings jumping off cliff ……somewhat like having to vote for greedy power hungry idiots every year ?
Hurricanes are not getting more frequent or powerful and there are more fires because of poor forest management. The climate is always changing but it is not any more dangerous than usual. He right about one thing, the lemmings are running scared
There are also already millions of climate refugees throughout the world, subsistence farmers struggling against drought, etc etc etc. But who give a flack about them, they’re mostly black or brown and live closer to the equator. As long as Kansas is ok, who cares about the rest?

They’re probably jumping into the water to avoid the fires, and are counting on the flooding to bring them back to shore.
