Climate Change Thread

And Thanx Dalton. He has had more than enough time to restore a percieved wrong.

I visited NYC in 1990. It became appearent then how shitty the TTC was compared to New York's system. And that was even with the provincial funding.

It will take a shitload of money to do this but nobody who has come with an 'environmental agenda' seems to have had this on their plate. Don't punish people with carbon taxes for not taking a sucky transit system. Fix the sytem, and then if you want to encourage people who still don't take it up the prices of the alternatives.

I never excused Dalton or the Feds....it's a disgrace.

I am aware of the basic principles of greenhouse effect.

Well, this is the basis for the anthropogenic climate change we are experiencing.

But there has been a lot of unproven suggestions on exactly what is being attributed to CO2 and perhaps shouldn't be.

Yes, sorta like the idiotic naysayers every winter when some place gets above average snowfall...I guess some people think this outcome isn't possible on a warming planet.

But the exact effects on climate and the amount required to make such a change are still unproven in my mind.

Many of the effects on climate are well known, and it's a documented fact that these predictions are true: the diurnal temperature range, the cooling stratosphere, and acidifying oceans are all exclusively explained by enhanced greenhouse effect. Extra solar forcing and volcanoes, cannot explain this.

If it was that much of a slam dunk, I would expect no discenting opinions.

That's naive. You can still find flat earthers, folks who don't believe in evolution, even people who don't believe in gravity.

Ever travel to Europe?

You wouldn't believe the difference.

Well, forgive us for not having a maniac with a funny moustache laying all that railroad to transport Arms and Jews.

Is that all you have?

What a yawn this will be.

Yes, yes that is all I have. LOL.

Sometimes Avro, it pays not to be so ultra-serious and just take a joke for what it is.

If you have to run behind a joke so be it.

In a recent study published in Science, and blogged here, David Lobell of Stanford University pointed out that global climate change was already having an impact on agriculture around the planet.

One of the findings of the study was that the specific impacts on crop production studied, so far, have not shown up yet in North America.

You do realize that story originated in the Ottawa Citizen? A left leaning paper.

Just look at the pic in your post closely.


And yes, this is one of those times, me being on ignore won't save you from being embarrassed by me, yet again.

Climate is in a constant state of change.

Convince me that it is changing differently in a significant negative way since oh....1550 or so.

Oh triedit, now you gone and done it. You aggravated the climate monster, known as Avro.
