Re: Texas Toast
I wonder how those sea level changes happened?
The great flud(s)?

Re: Texas Toast
If "global warming" were causing alarming rises in sea levels ...
Again, open ignorant mouth, insert stupid catholic lies.
A few minutes doing any research would have answered your intellectually vacuous question. But, instead, you just bluster through like you think you know something. Just another inane lie from the catholic dunce.
You have got to be such an embarrassment to your masters, Satan and that other guy ... the one nailed to the tree, the one you love so much you ignore everything he says. That Jesus fiction.

Doomsayers Are Bothersome.
Doomsayers are bothersome to the point of boredom. I know. I’m one of them. But I’m going to give you even more pessimism to go with your growing sense of existential dread.
We can solve the carbon capture problem and make great mitigations in curbing the worst, and indeed improving beyond the present, impacts of global climate change. Our physics shows us the energy budgets involved to accomplish various levels of CO2 scrubbing needed to achieve targeted levels. Thermodynamics says it can be done. Barely.
What it will take to get there (i.e., humanity) is not promising. We seem well on the path of the scenarios that lead to the kinds of disruptions scientists and humanitarians have been warning about. The kind that eventually lead to humanities extinction along with the rest of mammalia. Happy Thoughts.
Yet, with some major changes in politics, the physics says it can be done. Here is the science side of these extremes. His heart doesn’t bleed as much as some might think. In exploring these extremes, we learn a great deal about where we are in the actual reality.
Scrubbers. That could do it. That can save us. But won’t. Physics and humanity don’t always get along. Problem is physics always wins. Humans lose.
Frankly, I’m ready for us humans and our scrubbers to leave the scene, as it appears we will eventually, and let the trees fix the problem.

More Doom And Gloom
I recognize some chafe at my climate change gloom-and-doom. But I got more for you.
YouTube video by Sabine Hossenfelder. Good rep. Good science. Skeptic. She may be worth listening to.
Somewhere in her outlook she mentions that humans don’t go extinct because there’s just too many of us. And she mentions that the infrastructure would come through the “worst of it”.
Why she stopped her extrapolation the way she did I couldn’t guess. There is no “worst” of it. Things only get worse from whatever moment her thinking stops.
Still, the girl has a known skeptical streak. For her to come out so forcefully on our near future like this is … heart-rending. If you watch you will see her list of the woes that await us in the next 20 years. The usual suspects we’ve been talking about for decades. Crop failure, famine, drought, heat waves, mass migration, political tensions, pandemics.
The lady is an optimist. Like our projections of CO2 in the past, we can expect each of these things to be much worse than we expect.

Fake AI Makes Post?
Hit and run religionist throwing sand in peoples faces or die-hard loony of the majikal design camp?
We’ve been told the only proper response to some ideas is ridicule and this submission seems most deserving. But this is devoid of the most basic intellect required to operate a human being. I used to like this kind of crap if only for the insult value, but this … this is too far into humanity’s stupidity cesspool to be real.
This has got to be an AI specifically guided to be so dumb. Nothing actually there.

Re: Happy Earth Day
I have a hard time feeling celebratory about the state of the Earth, at least with regards to the human impact on the planet!
Same. To me it's kin to having a birthday party for a death row inmate. Nothing but sad.
