"40% of the US does not see climate change as a problem since Christ is returning in a few decades."
And Jesus said unto them...
"Ya'll fucked that up something special Billybob, so amma gonna blast all ye highfalutin rich folks to hell and put the poor folks back in charge. Blessed are the meek 'n all."
Which ironically isn't true, because religion is just a convenient form of people control derived and perpetuated by an educated wealthy elite.
- Amen********
- exactly why it's so scary who Trump is picking for his teammonospaced
- I wonder if anyone on QBN is part of that 40% or not.monospaced
- from what I gathered we have a few church goers here but their the smart ones, we have 2 from TX though that I'm not too sure about********
- I guess that means the majority of americans accept that climate change is a problem (and that J's not on his way)Gnash

- GOP = less government!
Except for women, then the government's all up in that pussy******** - Conservative christians share similar views to conservative muslims. Peas in a pod.monoboy
- so does the other 60% see it as a gov solvable problem like they have the powers of this jesus guy? they can stop change in its tracks********
- FUCKING
AMEN
BRAHutopian - @deathboy, nobody's asking gov to solve it, but to continue to support and further it and not deny and halt it.monospaced
- Lobbyists are asking gov for public funds so they have a campaign platform. and many of these politicians believe they can stop climate change.********

- benchmark of progress.********
- nothing wrong with individuals practicing the three RRRs, i see vast unintended consequences, and 0 results from global policies, esp with no measure of success********
- so far their measures of success look like business growth models. which pretty much makes sense********
- Most gov/bis concerns are short-term. The concerns from scientists on global warming pre-date the 1960s. Going beyond economic cycles. Not about money for them.monoboy
- It's not about solving world issues alone, it's about doing our part as a major contributor to the issue. It's about investing in things that ensure a future.monospaced
- Yes, there have to be incentives to do this, unfortunately, but at the same time there is a lot of new gov-funded infrastructure that could take advantage too.monospaced
- Setting the standard, being a good example of how to do these on a nation-wide level is a step toward stopping negative impacts to the climate we all share.monospaced
- and how do we measure if what we are doing has any impact, and wether its worth the costs?********
- all the current billions spent so far on green technologies has bought us how many years? what is the goal********

- ^ its like this guy just saying all i need is to get this header home. i think ppl are focused too much on blind hope********
- how, what is the impact, problems, costs, and when u get him home than what. its just aspirational marketing, just waste less food it will help more********
- A few decades?? Lol ffsfuturefood
- Foam at the mouth as socialist progressives! Attack those that don't side with your group think! Get'em!Hayoth
- climate models are a lot like wallstreet stock models to me, you can model and predict and see what happens with time. but if we are as significant as led to********
- believe than i see a large amount of volatility that likely will scrap any model. its interesting. id love to see data points around mayan devastation********
- if there are multiple data spots dated back to the fall around the world. Curious if strong small changes can have huge effects globally balancing out********
- all models and predictions... i guess thats the point. we think of science as the new religion. we have iphones so we must no all. have some skeptisism********
- challenge stuff. Most published findings end up being false. Dont make the science into a false prophet or religion. Religion got popular because masses new********
- no better. People who didnt know read/write would believe whatever anyone said that was a scholar and could read and write, bible first printed word.********
- there's plenty of parallels to science and religion********
- @deathboy, just because you don't know exactly how it's measured doesn't mean it isn't by a plethora of climate scientists and tools worldwide, every momentmonospaced
- and no, most published findings on the matter do NOT end up being falsemonospaced

"Global carbon emissions flatline continues"
http://arstechnica.com/science/2…
"Despite an increase in global GDP, emissions were basically unchanged from 2014 to 2015. Previously, only recessions interrupted the relentless year-over-year rise of emissions. Now, an early projection for 2016 looks just about as good."

I recall climate change being called GLOBAL WARMING
- It changed because in areas the weather was getting crazy colder, typhoons, floods etc and the idiots considered this proof that "Global Warming" wasn't real.inteliboy
- and in the 70s global cooling was all the rage. but less known with media and scientist hadn't learned how to publish findings like buzzfeed content********
- fucking idiots!
https://pmm.nasa.gov…utopian - so it was google and is now called abc. and global cooling was moved to graveyard. words and perceived meanings. fun stuff********

California regulates cow farts

http://www.usnews.com/news/busin…
"Despite strong opposition from farmers, Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation in September that for the first time regulates heat-trapping gases from livestock operations and landfills."
- Id say higher costs, loss of business, no measureable impact, more lobbying for grants, maybe a short boost in fine revenue until biz leaves. harder for thepoor********
- http://animals.howst…utopian
- @deathboy, and worse meat/milk quality because the farmer invests in infraestructure and not in quality cow feedingOBBTKN
- oh yea that too. the economic impact will surely help the wealth divide********

A new JRC report looks at flood risk and economic damages under different global warming scenarios with 1.5˚C, 2˚C, and 4˚C temperature increases. It concludes that, if global temperatures rise by 4°C, the flood risk in countries representing more than 70% of the global population and of the global GDP will increase by more than 500%.
https://ec.europa.eu/jrc/en/news…
The study reveals that, with a 4°C temperature increase globally, countries representing 73% of the global population would face a 580% increase in flood risk. In addition, 79% of the global economy would face a 500% increase in flood damages. In the case of a 2°C temperature increase, both the affected population and the related flood damages would rise by 170% compared to present levels. Even under the most optimistic scenario of a 1.5°C temperature increase, the authors estimate that the flood-affected population would still double, and flood damages would increase by 120%.
The projected changes are not evenly distributed across the globe. The increase in flood risk is highest for Asia, America and Europe, while it remains low for most countries in Africa and Oceania, independent of the temperature increase.

Real cause of climate change: “Earth has shifted” – Inuit elders issue warning to NASA and the world
- utopian4
Houston is underwater. Another massive hurricane has made landfall and caused widespread misery and devastation. Warmer oceans are making these storms stronger and wetter. But climate change deniers (including our current denier-in-chief) continue to slash regulations that would curtail global warming. They’ve also pulled out of the global climate accord in spite of mountains of scientific evidence proving our planet is warming at an alarming rate, and plans are to ramp up coal and emissions regardless of the effects on the environment. Meanwhile those of us that can see with our own eyes fear that we’re witnessing the end of days. Is this the new normal?
