  1. it's more of a problem in the developing world, in the developed world we've already lowered the birth rate to around 2 per family. You said no one calls out China and India, I've already called out India and China for their reliance on coal (as well as Australia) and they definitely have a population density as well as air pollution problem.
  2. the popularity of almond milk, coconut milk, avocado milk, etc., probably has a lot to do with it- consider how many commercials you see for those and none for dairy milk (I still remember the old days with the "Got Milk" commercials, you dont see them anymore.) Starbucks has also switched to plant-based milk.
  3. and plastic pollution as well as the way land is used as well overfishing (for marine problems) and other factors.
  4. right, and they are brainwashed and dont even know it.
  5. They already stated that climate change is the greatest national security threat the world faces.
  6. https://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2011/06/13/losing-our-coral-reefs/ Many causes, most of them human “Coral bleaching is caused by global warming, full stop,” said Terry Hughes, lead author of a new studyon coral bleaching. The researchers found that bleaching events have increased from one every 25 to 30 years in the early 1980s to an average of one every six years since 2010. While coral reefs can recover from bleaching if given 10 to 15 years for their algae communities to recover, the increasing frequency of bleaching events means that many reefs may never be able to. In addition, the 22 million tons of carbon dioxide our oceans absorb every day are changing the chemistry of seawater and increasing acidification. Today, coral reefs are experiencing more acidity than they have at any time in the last 400,000 years. Acidification reduces the water’s carrying capacity for calcium carbonate that corals need to build their skeletons. Even a small decrease in the coral’s ability to construct its skeleton can leave it vulnerable to erosion. Some reefs have already begun to dissolve and it’s estimated that by 2050, only 15 percent of coral reefs will have enough calcium carbonate for adequate growth. One study showed that ocean acidification profoundly alters coral reef ecosystems. As C02 levels rise and acidification increases, the biodiversity of coral reefs drops, resulting in the elimination of key species needed for healthy reef formation. “The decline of the structurally complex corals means the reef will be much simpler and there will be less habitat for the hundreds of thousands of species we associate with today’s coral reefs,” said Katherina Fabricius, a scientist at the Australian Institute of Marine Science.

  8. Indeed- outside of sports, there is no reason to ever watch them. Murdoch has quite the checkered history.
  9. thats old news, try this on for size: https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2017/07/best-way-reduce-your-carbon-footprint-one-government-isn-t-telling-you-about The best way to reduce your carbon footprint is one the government isn’t telling you about By Sid PerkinsJul. 11, 2017 , 4:30 PM Recycling and using public transit are all fine and good if you want to reduce your carbon footprint, but to truly make a difference you should have fewer children. That’s the conclusion of a new study in which researchers looked at 39 peer-reviewed papers, government reports, and web-based programs that assess how an individual’s lifestyle choices might shrink their personal share of emissions. Many commonly promoted options, such as washing clothes in cold water or swapping incandescent bulbs for light-emitting diodes, have only a moderate impact (see chart, below), the team reports today in Environmental Research Letters. But four lifestyle choices had a major impact: Become a vegetarian, forego air travel, ditch your car, and—most significantly—have fewer children.
  10. Haven't you been following the news? The two largest dairy conglomerates have gone into bankruptcy. Probably because of the hormone crap that was in their "product." And beef is about the worse thing you can possibly eat, for health and for the environment. When I stopped eating meat, my BP went down about 20 points. I'd rather do that than take some pill for the rest of my life.
  11. ah so you see my point about more population being a factor. Just look at how bad the pollution is in some of the most densely packed cities in the world.
  12. Is that why the Navy is moving their base in Norfolk 17 miles inland?
  13. the ones about the Great Barrier Reef going bye bye
  14. actually the majority of research has shown that the best way to limit the carbon footprint is to have one less child. It's one of the biggest problems in the developing world.
  15. the spreading of propaganda is something that FOX has taken right from the Nazi play book.
  16. Good news is that plant based burgers taste exactly the same and are gaining in popularity and are available at most fast food joints. Plant based dairy is driving "real milk" into bankruptcy also.
  17. I'm wondering if their new climate can no longer support their old growth..... ditto with Siberia and California, where other multimillion acre fires have been occurring. We might be seeing a long term evolution towards a more desert or, at the very least, a grassland/savanna kind of climate.
  18. Mar a Lago will likely be flooded before 2050, parts of the Keys have already been underwater for a few months now. About Hong Kong, thats probably what China wants. Did you read about how they didn't care when they had manmade earthquakes as a result of building giant dams?
  19. well the coral reef predictions are sure coming to pass.
  20. Having fewer children is the best way individual people can help.
  21. Yes indeed, about two dozen arsonists were arrested, however the vast and unprecedented scope of the fires was because of the antecedent conditions (hottest and driest on record by a fair margin.)
  22. Trust me, I have been throwing China and India under the bus too. Do you know the air in Delhi India is so polluted they cant even breathe there? The meat industry also has to change- they are right behind China and the US when it comes to greenhouse gas emissions.
  23. I believe they have some professional psychologists working for them who know exactly how to confuse people. The mind games are strong, the science of spreading propaganda has been perfected over the decades..... the Nazis did this too.
  24. haha I clicked on that because I was half-expecting to see a "translator" that converts every day words to scientific terminology in the dead language of Latin!
  25. I remember Cantore mentioning this, but I expected something that sounded more scientific like "bombogenic temperocyclonic storm" or maybe just "bombogenic temperate cyclone" lol
