It can seem like someone is trolling you when they don't agree with you. Sometimes they are sure. In fairness I should point out that I'm personally exactly where I started with the issue of "climate change". I think that the events described by it's proponents are technically possible and somewhat true but that the significance and the certainty are grossly misrepresented. I also know from my own searching that there is plenty of good work that can be done to clarify the issue for everyone. At the very least a lot of people can sound a lot less stupid. But I'm not a believer that it's a crisis at this point I have to say. I think it's important to be honest about your initial biases with these things. MOST people end up exactly in the spot they first found so comfortable.

It would be easier to ignore them if they would ignore me. I'd like to carry on some sensible conversations about climate change. Another thing - why are they anti climate change. Do they have a financial motive.? The financial motive, is that it's proposed that we all spend an incredibly large quantity of money, that we just don't have. It's not a small inconvenience either, it's likely to be as devastating, as the predicted 'climate changes', and deadly too. Whether or not we believe, none of us will be around, to see the results. None of the predictions from 20-30 years ago, things we were assured already happening, ever materialized. Neither ice cap has completely melted, both still have about the same amount of ice. I'm not sure how they are measuring sea levels rising, but there is a lot of coastline around the world, and only a few places being used as examples. Few of the islands, look more like beach erosion, something that's been common here in Florida, for a long time. Most of the tourist beaches, were never natural beaches either, sand was always brought in. The 'science' is a little sloppy, and plays fast and loose with the principals and methods, normally practiced. The sample sizes are small, extrapolated to planetary scale, yet the don't seem to increase the margin of error proportionally. Proxies and analogs are inherently error prone, yet they derive highly precise values. Nature, and the computer simulations haven't matched up too well, yet, to be at all convincing, there was ever a problem, certainly not on the predicted scale, to match the hype and urgency to spend such a large amount of cash, and transform the world. I shouldn't need a degree in climatology, to clearly understand what I'm being sold, or see the 'signs'. A crisis, is something you can see, touch, observe in some way. We only have a computer simulation. I've worked with computers enough to know that when you feed it error prone data, the results are going to be full of the same errors. Computers only execute the instructions given, people give the instructions, another level of error. Personally, I believe fighting the planet is futile, at best, just a waste of time and resources. We are more likely to cause greater damage, than to quickly fix any perceived problem. The population of the world has clearly increased. There was never any accurate method of counting, even the human population. We still don't have that capacity, but the species we can keep track of do seem to have growing populations, even those target as being nearly extinct by now, because of global warming (failed prediction). All these species need food, which we get from plants and trees. Naturally an increase of CO2 is vital, to provide that food. Reducing and removing CO2, as is the goal of climate change, is going to have a immediate effect on the world food production, something every living thing depends on.

I think it's fair put things in a bit of perspective that those same experts all believe in the Dinosaurs, that there was a mass extinctions and that crazy sh!t went down in Earths history. That seems to be missing from all of the forecasts of doom. We stand a much better chance than dinosaurs. I think that IF we find there is an issue humans cause on a global scale, if we do actually make some significant change to the entire atmosphere, it's likely well within our ability to change it back. As it stands the threat is just conjecture. We are not actually dealing with consequences at this time. All is well presently by any measure.

I'd like to take the opportunity to point out a bit of the Marxist fallacy that corrupts discussions and thought processes and is an obvious red flag indicating bogus conclusions. Marxism involves a mindset that encourages the projection of one's desires/wishes onto others, legitimizes pretending to speak for countless, unnamed others and which in turn legitimizes in the minds of the affected the use of force to impose their will onto others. This becomes evident when someone pretends to represent countless, unnamed others and makes third-person arguments in fully first-person pronouns, i.e. "we," "our," "us," etc.. The above claim could not be made by speaking for one's self: tmiddles couldn't write:I think that IF I find there is an issue humans cause on a global scale, if I do actually make some significant change to the entire atmosphere, it's likely well within my ability to change it back.

You know what my point is - CO2 produces global warming and flooding is just a euphemism for rising sea level. CO2 doesn't warm anything, ultimately, it's the Sun. CO2, can only work it's small magic trick, based on how much sunlight makes it to the surface. There real isn't a very high concentration of CO2, to have the global effect it's being given. The only flooding we see, is from storm activity. If the seas have been rising, from melting ice, we'd see coastal flooding, all around the world, every day at high tide. Considering the vast amount of coastline, and all the small islands, we aren't seeing a 'flood' of reports, on a global scale, of a problem with flooding, related to rising sea levels. Severe weather, and flooding isn't something new, been going on most everywhere, as long as people settled to observe it. When building a new house, it's common practice to asses the flood risk, and usually haul in some dirt. But, there is also going to be some impact on the surrounding areas, since that storm water has to go some place, and a lot quicker than before. A lot of land is being developed, yet the storm water isn't address as seriously as it once was. The drain systems are able to handle the volume, and usually not as well maintained or upgraded as often as needed. It's barely handles normal weather activity, a little flooding here and there. But, when some of the larger storms, not that rare blow through, it's a damaging problem. Is it cheaper to keep repairing the damage, or spend a lot of tax dollars addressing the problem. Since there is flood insurance, mandatory in some areas, it doesn't cost tax money most of the time. Sometimes, there is disaster relief money though, which again, doesn't come out of the effected area's pocket. In reality, floods are good for the local economy, brings in a lot of money, and people spending it on goods and services, to repair and replace. Even less incentive to fix the actual problem, just throw a quick, cheap, band-aid on it. Storm water is typically diverted into lakes, rivers, and streams, to eventually flow out to sea. This is in addition to the yearly run off of mountain snow melting, that usually feeds the rivers and streams. It's a long journey, lot of sand, silt, and other stuff carried down the way, with the water. Where the water calms, and no longer has the force to keep moving all that other stuff, it settles to the bottom, building up layers. Generally less resistance for water to go wider, than dig deeper. People have known about flooding, and use to deal with it pretty well, but no longer wish to spend money on mitigating the effects. How do you figure to get many of these same people to open up the checkbooks, to pay for CO2 mitigation, which isn't doing anything, or likely to in our life time?

Well, I've actually been working a lot less most of this year. The company I work for, opened a second warehouse in Florida, and we gave them a good chunk of or business, as did Alabama and Georgia. We should eventually get new business, to replace those loads, but no telling when. We service mostly convenience stores, there will probably always be a market, and it will continue to grow. The working less part is starting to get a little scary, with the less money to spend. I had a surgery almost a year ago, which took out a good portion of my savings. I haven't recovered enough to afford my insurance deductible, either health, or car. Use to have both covered, and a little extra. It's getting close to time for my largest bills of the year, car insurance, and property tax. Both, combined would pretty much empty my account. Fortunately, property tax, I've got months, and can wait for my tax return, if needed, longer, if I gamed the system. Right now, I have little choice, in the spending less part. Mostly, I'm stuck paying bills, and trying to hold on to as much as possible. Thinks pop up, repairs, replacements, health issues, most of which costs money, not a whole lot of choice in spending less. Now, I'm nor enjoying having less to spend, lot of things I want to do, need to do, that have to wait, but should be put off indefinitely. Fortunately, I have enough toys to keep me occupied, until I do get some fun money.
