Thank goodness. I remember well those winters in the 50s, 60s, and 70s. Nothing to pine for.
Bruce Hall: If I think of the advance of invasive species (animal, plant), costs of adjustment as glaciers melt and seas rise, drought driving migration and wars, etc., I think I’d tough it out.
Geez Menzie, where’s your sense of apocalyptic adventure?? Not into the whole dystopian thing?? Can’t you see one of your nieces or something snorkeling to use their own bathroom in north Miami?? Eat your heart out Queequeg.
Yes, by all means, let’s prefer Brucey’s personal preferences over the continued existence of small Pacific Island nations, the inundation of low-lying lands inhabited by millions, the livability of vast areas of the globe, the future of low-lying cities in North America, not to mention the rest of the world.
By all means, Brucey’s selfish preferences above all.
Truly amazing, isn’t it? And Steven Kopits below once again cannot see the forest for the trees, or maybe the leaves on the trees.
I’d like to spend 15 minutes (no more!) in one of their “brains” so I can gain some understanding of what it’s like to be so selfish and stupid.
Did you still remember to take your bleach?
Bruce Hall And I remember well those days when you could buy homeowners insurance. That is something to pine for.
home owner insurance in texas has nearly doubled. due to climate change. auto insurance has also increased. red state.
One of my nephews was a project manager for one of the big ag insurers. He left because the company is trying to unwind its ag insurance business due to climate change.
That is one of the more immediate victims of climate change. Insurance will become too expensive to afford if you can even find someone who is willing to sell it to you. Insurance is build on the concept of predictability of risk and that is one of the first things that goes. Some of the predicted migrations may actually come even before the climate catastrophes.
I was with a relative keeping them company while they had a blood transfusion this morning. And all these IV machine thing-ies with the transparent baggies hanging on the pole are out in the open of a large room and patients have no real privacy. And I’m listening to these other two patients nearby jabbering, and the one who has had cancer for awhile is enumerating slogan after slogan about being positive like she’s spitting out 30 years of Reader’s Digest issues by rote learning, and then she goes “The best years of our country were the Reagan years” I almost projectile vomited on the outer window of the building.
*infusion, not transfusion. Whatevuh
70 deg. The horror.
Yea – you are dumber than Bruce Hall.
spoken like an oil patch hack.
“The world isn’t on track to meet its climate goals — and it’s the public’s fault, a leading oil company CEO told journalists.
Exxon Mobil Corp. CEO Darren Woods told editors from Fortune that the world has “waited too long” to begin investing in a broader suite of technologies to slow planetary heating.”
steven, are you going to act like the ignoramus darren woods? now exxon claims that climate change is real and occurring, and we better be doing more because the public dilly-dallied around too long! how do these snakes even sleep at night? the reason the public has been slow to make change is because evil critters like darren through out doubt for decades in the attempt to delay change. and now they have the audacity to say its the public’s fault for waiting too long? the fossil fuel business has a severe integrity problem.
