That’s great. I don’t care. I do care when people are super hypocritical about it. Like many here.
It’s like church pastors going nuts on gay people then getting caught being gay. It’s like their form of denial.
I agree, there does seem to be a lot of hypocrisy on this board when it comes to the environment. With that said, at least the hypocrites know there is a problem and are taking some steps to lessen their carbon footprint, whereas the deniers just keep doing what they’re doing not caring at all about their affects on the environment. I’d rather have the hypocrisy than the stupidity.

Thanks a lot Minnesota
Thanks a lot Minnesota
When being faced with an immediate threat, ignoring a threat to your future existence is not absurd... Like I said, "first world problem".

I think that should be the response to everything that goes wrong in life.
It's like you guys try all kinds of gymnastics to purposely MISS the point. No shit everybody is responsible...for over a century.
Who are these wonderful wonderful goddesses??? And why have I never heard of them?!?!
Are you saying they didn't have properly locked doors or that they weren't properly locked? If it's the latter, what do you do to prevent them from being unlocked improperly?
Is that it? Is that your only suggestion?
I'm starting with an exit door that was propped open with a rock,.. seems like obvious easy fruit.
Des Moines River in Boone County is going to reach 3rd highest crest ever to include 1993.
The DSM River rose 3’ overnight Sunday in Boone County, and is projected by the National Weather Service to crest at 25.9’ on Thursday morning and remain there for roughly 24 hours. This level would be the third highest on record.
2010 = 28.4’
2008 = 27.3’
2024 = 25.9’ projected
1993 = 25.6’
Many remember and were traumatized by the Flood of ’93 due to widespread damage far and away from the river. This was caused by heavy rains falling locally as opposed to upstream. However, the river itself did flood to the point where Highway 30 west of Boone was closed. The same happened in 2010 and 2008.
As such, travelers should prepare for Highway 30 to close later this week. The DOT is working on an official detour route, likely to include travel on County Road E57. The Old Highway 30/216th Drive bridge does not have a history of being closed during these events.
With this being primarily a river flooding event, road closures and potential property damage should be localized to low-lying river areas. Emergency Management and the Sheriff’s Office are working to identify and directly communicate these dangers to affected residents.
The Y-Camp northwest of Boone is also at risk and sandbags are being sought from Homeland Security, the DNR and other agencies. If secured, there may be an opportunity for the public to volunteer in filling and placing sandbags around important camp facilities. Be on the alert for these opportunities to assist.
Road barricades are being delivered by Secondary Roads crews to be on standby at anticipated road flooding locations.
Damage to roads is likely to occur. If issued for Boone County, a Presidential Disaster Declaration would potentially assist with the repair costs. Property owners may also have resources made available through a disaster declaration.
Public water supplies also face potential risks, with the City of Boone and City of Ogden water treatment facilities located adjacent to low-lying river areas. Pay attention for official communications should their facilities be impacted.

China is continuing to build many massive coal plants…they are not following the Paris Climate Agreement. Also, developing 3rd world countries don’t have the resources to devote to climate issues. It’s great that the U.S. wants to be a world leader on this topic, but what we’re doing (at a very expensive price) is kind of like re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
Paris Climate Agreement: Everything You Need to Know
The Paris Agreement charted a new course in the effort to combat global climate change, requiring countries to make commitments and progressively strengthen them. Here’s what the accord seeks to achieve, and why our future may depend on its success.www.nrdc.org
The US has created MOST of the problem; finger-pointing at everyone else, who have emitted half (at most) and a tiny fraction of what we have since the onset of the Industrial Age is quite literally the opposite of "personal responsibility"....

Global power sector CO₂ emissions have roughly doubled since 1990 to more than 14 GtCO₂ per year, almost double transportation sector emissions.

Thats okay, let's just all head over to @BlIIlken2 house and light off fireworks outside of it.Davenport cancelled fireworks

Some of the smaller carriers may indeed go out of business, but the bigger insurance companies will survive.
Just to be clear though, climate change is not and should not be considered politics, only one party treats it that way.
It’s science.
Why is Biden not throwing paper towels to these people!!!???
Everyone KNOWS that those work WAY better than plastic sheeting!!!
My exact thought too when I saw that clip. Just wow, what devastation.
They raised 169 a few years ago to combat yearly closures due to flooding. It seems things have stabilized and minor mitigation efforts will prevent major flooding in St. Peter.
