Climate Change? Nahhh ...

I’ve posted this before but it’s worth repeating: If every bit of ice on the planet melted, the oceans would rise 260 feet. At that level, Memphis will be under water, West Virginia will have a sea port and there will be oceanfront property in Arizona.

 

it's a religion™

 

Memphis is at 330-plus feet above sea level right now. The Mississippi might flood the Delta farmlands, but Beale Street should still be dry.

 

If you'll buy that, this guy will throw the Golden Gate in free.

 

So if we can't halt it, why are we spending trillions of dollars to try and halt it?

 

Here is a hot take on global warming - the increase in population requires greater amounts of water for people to survive. Yes, pollution has caused global warming, but it is also releasing freshwater stored in glaciers to potentially restore our freshwater reservoirs. See Lake Mead. The real problem is if population continues to grow and there are no more untapped reserves of freshwater available for the population.

 

I'm not a climate change denialist, but I think there is some unknowable element in how the earth reacts to raising carbon dioxide levels. The earth has gone through incredible transformations.

 

And many mass extinctions

“Don’t look at this as a climate crisis. It’s a pivot to an aquatic future.”

 

All of a sudden that dive watch makes sense.
