As much of a troll thread that this is I hope your reaction is the same when the gulf coast is underwater and they want to use trillions of tax dollars to build a massive sea wall around the continental United States.
That's right. Not my problem. F**k my kids though, I got mine.
If you don't bump threads with replies then Ciggy's C&P's can get them off the front page faster.
Kinda depends on how old you are. Near death? So what. Hoping for another forty or fifty years? Massive infrastructure spending on things like seawalls and floodgates. More spending for disaster relief. Migration that could dwarf that from Syria that disrupted Europe.
Sooooo...that.
But that's going to happen anyway. We already passed the tipping point according to the "experts."
Adaption and mitigation is what we need to focus on.
Ugh, seawalls and floodgates. Those will fail anyway. I have a better plan, anyone choosing to live near the ocean should move.
I think according to the original warnings, it happened about 10 years ago.
THere's been some really in-depth research done and these
Left-wing scientists discovered that 'global warming' really get going around
May to August, each year.
These are some smart mo-fo types........uh-huh

There is some serious dumb in this country anymore. You morons should not be allowed to vote.
You say the same stupid shit time after time. It's like the flattest learning curve possible on this topic.
There is no single tipping point. There are multiple tipping points. And as they pass, the future becomes more and more unpredictable in terms of specific effects. What is absolutely certain is that a rise of six degrees C will be catastrophic. It's just physics. There will be no "mitigation" for large parts of the Earth that would allow people to live there and "adaption" will involve the migration of hundreds of millions of people from one place to another. That kind of rise isn't a certainty...yet...but it will become inevitable if we continue doing what we're doing now.
Dude, the world was a lot hotter than that in the past, and humanity also lived through the ice age. We'll be fine.
Multiple tipping points?
I am not sure you understand what a "tipping point" is.
Then we'll be a helluva lot better at adaptation then we were then!
That's something we as a species are really good at.
I do. Someone might want to tell Trump that another set of unfunded massive tax cuts isn't going to help this situation.
Wha?
Losing Arctic sea ice is an irreversible tipping point.
Prolonged drought (due to natural climate change) is what turned the Sahara desert from a habitable area into one of the largest deserts on Earth - that's an irreversible tipping point, because the Sahara hasn't been habitable within the entirety of human history, and probably will not be again for many thousands of years.
Weakening and shutting down of the AMOC will be a major climate tipping point, impacting both the Eastern US Atlantic states as well as Europe.
Melting of the Arctic, to where it starts to become a major emitter of greenhouse gases (methane) and a self-perpetuating feedback is a tipping point.
Warming the oceans enough so that massive methane hydrate deposits start releasing methane into the atmosphere would be a major tipping point.
These are a sample of the ones we KNOW about. We'll certainly be in for some surprises as many we never predicted or imagined occur (and if we stay on track for a +4°C global temperature increase, it's certain that more will occur).
Global Ice Ages only required a shift in global temperatures on the order of 4°C. To presume that our driving of temperatures to +4°C above what just brought us out of an Ice Age isn't going to create similar tipping point changes is a rather dangerous assumption.
I'm sure I do. The tipping point for an ice free Arctic passed long ago. The tipping point for a complete collapse of the West Antarctic ice sheet has likely passed. The tipping point for the reversal of the carbon cycle and the soil becoming a net GHG emitter over large areas appears to be imminent. The tipping point for thermal stratification of the oceans and a massive oceanic extinction event likely lies somewhere in the more distant future. All of these tipping points are dependent on how high the temp gets.
Questions?
Well...you see...that depends on other tipping points passing such that anthropogenic GHG's are no longer the major driver. We haven't reached that point yet, despite your claim. But you're rarely, if ever, right on this issue.
Straw Man argument.
There are multiple tipping points which will permanently alter the climate (at least on human timescales).
Limiting your 'tipping point' to simply 'turning the Earth into Venus' is completely wrong and the epitome of ignorance.
Yep. Forgot about the WAIS. We've locked in a tipping point of at least 1m of sea level rise. Paleoclimate estimates imply it may be on the order of 10x that. Won't happen by the year 2100, but society doesn't magically end in 2100.
What we should REALLY be concerned about is the climate change we're locking in for the next 2000 years.....because recorded history has been around at least that long.
Unless, of course, the Rapture is set to occur in 2100....
All of this assumes NO OTHER climate forcing. Well guess the hell what? Over the next 2,000 years, there WILL be a mega-volcano, or a thermonuclear war, or a giant meteor, or something else that farks up your models. Get over yourself.
No. I read the article that you googled to get your response. You and Joe still don't see the forest for the trees though.
You're one of the most ignorant posters on here on this topic.
Mega-volcano? Those occur every million years or so, and they're not going to magically reverse the manmade influences. Even Pinatubo-like events simply slow warming on the order of a couple years or so.
Thermonuclear war? WHAT?
Giant meteor?
The odds of ANY of those occurring are astronomically LOW.
Your examples would be like quitting your job and going on a massive credit card shopping spree just because you bought a Lotto ticket this week.
You get over yourself.
Really? Could I see that article. It's abundantly clear you don't know what you're talking about.
There is NO WAY a nuclear war doesn't eventually break out.
NO WAY.
People are too freaking nuts for this to not happen.
Damn. Did you even bother to read it before you copied and pasted? Tell the truth - you didn't even click on the link, you just copied and pasted it directly from Google.
Ummm...no. Not if you...you know...read the article.
Yes, it did. We just hadn't evolved to the point we are today. We were at the stage where we looked like wooly mammoths.
