I've seen the cover and the one with the penguin isn't it.
Remember Time is the mag that had the picture of the honduran little girl on the cover claiming she was separated from her parents by Trump. That was fake news.

That's not what I asked.
How many more years does the planet have before man-made climate change makes the planet unlivable for man?
Give us the number.
I wouldn't know.
Of course, when I don't know about something I rely on experts to tell me.
The earth has warmed 1.8 degrees since the 1880's onward. Of course it has. We had one of the greatest cooling events in history in the 1870's, called Krakatoa. But liberals are too ****ing stupid to understand this. Geez, at least prove your point liberals! Using REAL data, not estimates. Morons.
And they can't tell you either. But what they CAN do is accept a lotta book and movie deals peddling a narrative that the world will cease to be liveable at some point in the future unless....we do......something.
The sad part is, the hucksters are keeping a lot of money away from sustainability and clean energy simply because the stigma it has outside the left of being snakeoil. If 'climate change' proponents would actually be honest about what it is (and more importantly, what it is NOT), then a lot of people would get on board with your efforts and you could actually do a LOT of good for the environment and world.
But that won't happen as long as you guys keep pushing that man-made climate change is real. That's where you lose most everyone.
I'll go full Sith: Without drastic action, 37 years.
That's the point when increased ocean levels, devastation of ocean-based protein sources, massive disruption of traditional agricultural regions, widespread refugee problems, water wars, extended periods and areas of unsafe heat, storm damage, drought, and wildfires, epidemics and pandemics - all these things taken together will put more than half of the human population of the planet at a high risk of premature death.
37 years.
And that's probably optimistic.
Methane release is the scary variable. It can - and will - accelerate global warming and all those problems. We just don't know when that tipping point is. The alarmists who have proven to be right so far suggest 2040 may be when we hit that tipping point. And once we hit that point, we're toast. Earth won't become Venus, but barring scientific advances that border on magic, only the wealthy who have invested very wisely stand much chance of surviving to the end of this century.
Even the elites - who have cleverly changed laws to accumulate most of the world's wealth - may not be safe. If the shit hits the fan, it could keep getting worse for hundreds of years.
We have cut our birth rate down to where we were told 35 years ago by ZPG, now it's time for the rest of the world to catch up to the USA.....
LMAO...........so many things wrong here, but I'll start off with the easy one. You can't even get the year correct for the eruption of Krakatoa, but you have nerve to call other people stupid.
How many degrees did the earth cool as a result of the Krakatoa explosion? Since you know more, give us the number.
We'll both be dead. The difference is, I won't have wasted my life living in fear.
The Northern Hemisphere cooled roughly a degree for a year or so........roughly similar to what Pinatubo did back in 1992. But it's faulty logic to even compare something like climate to an event such as that.
Survey says..............irony.
And how did you arrive at that number?
You're going to have to show your work if you want your man-made climate change theory to be taken seriously.
1. No, he didn't. That's a lie.
2. No, it isn't. That's a lie.
THIS is exactly it. Some pretend to give a chit until they find out what sacrifices it would take to actually make a difference.
From memory, we covered volcanic eruptions and their impacts in multiple classes........and Krakatoa was nothing compared to the 1815 Tambora eruption which is responsible for the 'Year Without a Summer'
Still, these events are what's known as outliers in statistics and have very minimal affect on "climate"........I high recommend take a few seconds to actually learn what an outlier is.
The asteroid that hit the planet and killed the dinosaurs was an outlier too. Did that have an impact on the climate?
LMAO........did you really just compare those two?
And where did I say it didn't have an impact? I said it's impact was minimal........perhaps you should actually go learn what the definition of climate is, which would help you understand why.
And the K-T impact's affect on Earth's climate had more to do with WHERE it hit and not THAT it hit.
JFC you are a moron. Keep defending the fossil fuel industry. I’m sure you are heavily invested with them.

I just asked you to quantify the impact. You stated a number. I asked you to tell us how you arrived at that number. You said something about go look up what an outlier is.
It's not my fault that you can't show your work.
IDK if global warming is real or not but what I do know is that it is used as a money making scheme by our corrupt politicians. So I'm against it.
Who's afraid of it. People treat this as if there are only two answers. Either this will definitely happen or it definitely won't happen.
The truth is that there is very real possibility that this might happen. Not definite but a probability. How much is that probability. What is the cost if that should happen? How much does it cost me to mitigate that risk? If the cost of the mitigation is less than the cost of ignoring the risk * the prob of the event happening than I mitigate.
That's how you manage risk. Fear has nothing to do with it.
The problem is, the goalposts keep moving. Look at the title of this thread "Guess what? The globe is warming faster than predicted"
IOW, they got it wrong on the previous prediction. How do we know they aren't wrong now as well?
"But what's the price of being wrong?!?!??"
I dunno. What's the price of living your life in fear of something that never happens?
Basically, man-made climate change theorists want to believe based on faith. That's fine, but just be upfront about it.
LMAO..........even if I showed my work you wouldn't understand it because you don't know the BASICS about this subject. You are starting to show your true colors OiT.
Survey says............irony II.
I've noticed that the globe seems to warm the fastest right around election time. I think we better let scientists know.
Nobodies moving the goal post. You need to think critically here.
You yourself said the price of being wrong was the end of human life. Pretty consequential cost isn't it?
I am thinking critically here. I don't accept theories without compelling evidence. You shouldn't either. And you should be suspicious of anyone that tells you to.
A few years ago there was some ancient Mayan prophecy that was supposed to be translated to say the world would end around this time a few years ago.
What if we had all been wrong about that? Should we have started building a lunar station on the moon to save ourselves? We had just as much evidence of that being reality as we do with man-made climate change theories.
You apparently believe the fate of the world literally depends n the theory of man-made climate change, and you are this ill-equipped to intelligently make a compelling case for believing a theory that you literally believe is life and death.
That is legit the saddest thing I have ever heard.
[/QUOTE
I am thinking critically here.
A person of your dizzying intellect should be able to think outside the box. You don't have to believe either side. You simply have to weigh the costs, benefits and probabilities that either side is correct.
You, yourself have already said that if your wrong the cost is the end of life as we know it. I'm just noting that if you are wrong the cost is substantial. If the climate change guys are wrong the cost is what?
LMAO...........I've forgotten more about the science of Climate Change than you will ever know. It's very obvious that you've never even taken a intro Environmental class, which answers the question of what your college degree is.
You bring to mind a certain story about a pigeon playing chess.
Ok, then let's see:
If I drive my gas-engine car to work every weekday this year, how many degrees will that raise the earth's temperature?
