Funny thing. The ecosystem is as healthy as ever where I reside. You know...where mountans are full of snow, massive rivers, streams and creeks are full of fish and game is plentiful.

The climate scam is a joke...literally.
EVEN I am starting to wonder, here in North Floriduh......the last two summers and ALL this year have been HOTTERnHELL or rather comfy outside last 'winter'......

Cite.
There are various estimates, all worst case. Here's just one:

From NOAA:
Quote:
The Gulf Coast and Southeast will see the most change. By 2050, sea level along contiguous U.S. coastlines could rise as much as 12 inches (30 centimeters) above today's waterline, according to researchers who analyzed nearly three decades of satellite observations.
So, "as much as" 12 inches meaning that's a guess, and a worst case guess. NOAA has interactive maps that show most of FL underwater by 2050, even though the mean elevation of FL is 100 ft.

Then there's hype like this:
Quote:
Put on Your Lifejackets: 14 U.S. Cities That Will Be Underwater by 2050
Miami, Florida.
New Orleans, Louisiana.
Norfolk, Virginia.
Galveston, Texas.
Atlantic City, New Jersey.
Charleston, South Carolina.
Annapolis, Maryland.
Long Island, New York.
Alarmist hype to scare the ignorant - of which we seem to have way too many.

The five biggest aids in assisting a socialist pol to increase their personal wealth:

Fake climate change and energy alternatives
BS social issues affecting less than 0.000000000001% of population
Crooked unions--I was gonna say labor unions, but none of them work
Inner city initiatives
College tuition

Ladies & Gentlemen,

Climate change started 4,600,000,000,000 years ago; catalytic converters, emissions, DEF, and EVs are NOT going to stop it.

Politicians are NOT meteorologists, not ecologists, not climatologists, and nothing but a bunch of liars.

Our Sun is good for another 5B years, no concerns here.

Of more concern to me is that we run out of trees, specifically Fine American Oak, as if so, scotch, GOD'S water, will have to be aged in that weakshit european wood!!
Now that would be a crisis!!

Humanity will not make it there. The sun grows 0.8" annually, it will suck earth in approx. 5,000,000 years. I haven't read enough, but I assume by the time it grows to half the distance to Mercury, there will be no life on Earth.

Real, but not a problem imo.

Does the climate ‘change?’ Sure. Is it changing lately? Sure. Is the world going to end because it’s changing? No.
