Climate continues to change.

A stick built house? What am I, the Second Little Pig?

 

[gunthernehmen]

One more time, for clarity:

Unless you are willing to give up the comforts of modern civilization and go live in a mud hut on a subsistence farm, STFU about how the rest of us live.

Preaching about man caused climate change by typing away on your computer from the comfort of your air conditioned condo is the very definition of hypocrisy.

A stick built house? What am I, the Second Little Pig?

Construction term. You wouldn't know about honest labor.

(But credit where due, that was kinda funny)

 

[Hypoxia]

Why do you live in a stick built house...

I don't. This is a modular home with axles, plopped amongst cedar and Douglas-Fir in a remote mountain hamlet. (Pines and their nasty pollens are on the next ridge over. Whew.) I am trailer trash. How is your tent?

You can reduce your carbon footprint by strolling into Kilauea. Take the iPad.

Locally built by local craftsmen using local materials! Al Gore approves!

Antarctica is melting faster than anyone thought, and we're not ready for the sea level rise that's coming

Let's move the deniers to Miami.

Actually, yes.

Built in a shop about 60 miles away from materials sourced within another 60 miles. Built to stand 9.0 earthquakes and 60 psi snow loads. Built to survive being hauled in sections down our shitty dirt road. Built to conserve energy. Built to last, except the cheap steps which, after 15 years, we're replacing now with local-area wood.

Have you moved your trailer to the Florida coast yet? Enjoy the water. There's more where it came from -- the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, melting.

Nah. I'm waiting for the shoreline to come to me.

When Antarctica melts, I'll buy some property down there. All that fresh new real estate, never before trodden by human feet! Melt, baby! Melt!!!

I'm guessing your computer is powered by a generator attached to your stationary bike? I wonder what the carbon footprint of the internet is. Just the plastic in all the computer and router cabinets must account for a few million dinosaurs.

How do you figure that sea level rise generates new real estate?

What is underneath the ice in Antarctica? Land. More oil. Coal, gas, etc.

Melt the ice, free the new farmland, save the world.

Got it. I thought we were still talking about your new Miami residence.

Incidentally, the development of Antarctica is no joke. An idea that gets floated around in futurist circles is that Antarctica could become a fast growing region later this century.

 

[gunthernehmen]

BTW, I hope you realize I'm jesting about waiting for the seashore to come to me.

Even if everything, everywhere melted, the seas would only rise around 230'.

Be a little rough on the coastal cities, but my house is around 400' ASL.

Like I said, climate changes.

We will adapt or we will die. I'm confident that we will adapt, at least for another few thousand years.

How much will the seas rise in 2019?

 

[Hypoxia]

How much will the seas rise in 2019?

Sit at the low tide line and report back.

 

[phrodeau]

How much will the seas rise in 2019?

Depends which seas you mean. Still highly unlikely that any of them will be dropping.

 

[Que]

Has Frodo learn the difference between renewable and sustainable?

Between feel good buzz words like biofuel and actual, responsible environmental stewardship?

 

[OldJourno]

Actually, being as how the science is settled, I'm looking for fairly accurate forecasts of how high the seas will rise. What scientific journal should I consult for the exact information?

^^^ add tides versus sea level to the long list of scientific concepts of Frodo does not understand.

Who wants to tell him that the moon not CO2 controls tides?

Maybe you can get Bill O’Reilly to explain it.

Sick burn!

With Glen Beck-style charts and his own juicy tidbits on weather in Lincoln's and Washington's times.

George married the richest widow in the colonies and was the early nation's biggest whiskey distiller. Y'know how he died, right? Chased out the window by an angry cuckold, running bare-ass nekkid through the snow, and he caught a helluva cold. And Lincoln was as queer as a Continental. He grew up in The Year That Had No Summer, chopped wood, slept with his buddy, and freed slaves. Coincidence, or... ??

Volcanic eruptions can spew enough to briefly change weather. Humans spew much more each year, have for a couple hundred, and affect longer-term climate. Fact.

Is Climate Change Killing the Baobabs? Nope, even the study authors don’t make the claim!
by Kip Hansen

A recent study into the ages of the oldest of Africa’s iconic baobab trees has spawned a lot of press coverage — very little of it scientifically accurate.

Headlines range all over the intellectual map depending on the general tendency for bias and yellow journalism of the news outlet...


Read about the whole sordid episode of "journalistic" malpractice and outright fraud upon the public...
