  1. so this is the person we need to go after? _______________________________________ _______________ Laura Daniel-Davis Date Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary Land and Minerals Management cool so let's dig up dirt on her and completely ruin her life and get her canned.....I'm game!
  2. alright so this is a bunch of hogwash but I'm interested in this legal case, what was this about? On August 9, 2021, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released a new report detailing observations of a rapidly changing climate in every region globally. This report does not present sufficient cause to supplement the EIS, at this time. See Stand Up for California! v. United States Dep’t of the Interior, 994 F.3d 616, 628 (D.C. Cir. 2021). The report as well as additional analysis of climate change may be a significant consideration in the Department’s decisions regarding oil and gas leasing programs in the future. The decision to hold Lease Sale 257 recognizes the role that GOM oil and gas resources play in addressing the Nation’s demand for domestic energy sources and fosters economic benefits, including employment, labor income, and tax revenues, which are highest in Gulf Coast States and also distributed widely across the United States. Revenues from offshore oil and gas lease 1 Mitigations for Alternative A include seismic airgun survey protocol (NTL 2016-BOEM-G02), guidance for vessel strike avoidance, guidance for marine debris awareness, avoidance of sensitive benthic resources, guidance for avoidance of historic and prehistoric sites, guidance for shallow hazards surveying and reporting, consultation in or near National Marine Sanctuaries, guidance for military coordination, and guidance for ancillary activities (Oil and Gas Program only). 8 sales support national conservation programs and coastal resiliency for applicable coastal states and political subdivisions under the Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act of 2006.
  3. If he doesn't do anything this will be a one term presidency and he should know that. I will not vote in the next presidential election and I dont care if Satan itself is running the country, let it all burn to hell. The faster humanity gets destroyed the better and I know I'm not the only one who feels this way.
  4. Hey I have a novel idea-- why doesn't the rest of the world boycott America and American products. America needs to be treated like Iran and be forced to change, or make the American economy crash......
  5. This is why I dont blame activists using whatever means necessary to end the fossil fuel cartels. No one else has the guts to do it. But one question, who is the moron who wrote this: Page 7 declares that the recent IPCC report “does not present sufficient cause” to block the sale of new oil and gas leases Do they not see what's happening on the planet right now? Also aren't fossil fuel cartel heads being forced to testify before Congress right now because of what Greenpeace uncovered about them using underhanded techniques in lobbying?
  6. I think Larry is the furthest north a TC has ever made landfall and then it brought snow to Greenland which is amazing. I think we'll all end up moving north, I have a feeling Greenland is going to turn into a resort and NYC will be underwater by then anyway. Might not even have to wait that long, looks like people have been leaving NYC in droves even before it goes underwater
  7. what exactly caused this dramatic reversal? Was it something unforeseen and unforecastable?
  8. that looks like a pattern where a TC if it was in the western atlantic would come right at us
  9. I detest this cloudy dreary weather time to bring in a fall front and clear out this mess
  10. awesome all our local teams are like clones of each other in every sport lol (except the Islanders, they've played well the last two seasons)
  11. looks like highs in the 60s later next week? 40s for lows?
  12. well if you combine the two statements, the second part is almost right, because we did get only about an inch of rain in Sandy....
  13. can we get a sunshine percentage forecast? I am sick and tired of cloudy days "warm" temperatures or not. Amount of sunshine is more important for those of us who like to enjoy being outdoors
  14. it's on governments to give land to these communities. I also believe that people living in oceanic nations need to be taken in by other nations and given land to live on
  15. wait Long Island had 30" of snow in March? Not here lol Why is March snow so localized compared to say January snows? Maybe it's because with the higher sun angle it's much harder for urbanized areas to accumulate snow in March?
  16. we had some brief sunny periods early in the afternoon and that did make it feel hot
  17. I'd be okay with no more disgusting 70+ dew points ever again
  18. so you dont believe climate models when it comes to climate change but you do believe in this huh?
  19. Fascinating that you mentioned trees. In Cosmos, Dr Neil DeGrasse Tyson brings up the intelligence and networking capability of trees, how they provide nourishment to injured trees by sharing their roots with them and how parent trees protect their children by shading them so they don't grow too quickly. Likewise bees are amazingly intelligent, having a complex series of dance moves using which they communicate both astronomy and math (wind direction, angle of the sun, etc.) when communicating new prospective hive locations.
  20. Right, the planet has a Tipping Point (it abhors dominance by any one species) when the checks and balances eventually get us....we are ever closer to that. You correctly brought up the population crisis, new technology is a double edged sword, while it feeds the masses, it also enables a larger than safe carrying capacity of humans to exist at one time. At the current point, with our population of around 8 billion, we are consuming the amount of resources it would take 1.7 earths to sustain. This is why we have a human caused mass extinction event currently ongoing. The industrial revolution is the ultimate in two edged swords....we can't live without it, and we might not be able to sustain ourselves with it. There are some brilliant people looking for and even finding possible solutions, the question is will the rest of humankind's inertia stand in the way of getting us where we need to go?
  21. https://twitter.com/i/events/1438247239810535430 a funny if slightly disgusting read....if cows can be potty trained, there is some hope for humanity too
