Indeed- outside of sports, there is no reason to ever watch them. Murdoch has quite the checkered history.

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.

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.

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.

Is that why the Navy is moving their base in Norfolk 17 miles inland?

the ones about the Great Barrier Reef going bye bye

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.

the spreading of propaganda is something that FOX has taken right from the Nazi play book.

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.

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.

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?

well the coral reef predictions are sure coming to pass.

Having fewer children is the best way individual people can help.

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.)

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.

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.

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!

I remember Cantore mentioning this, but I expected something that sounded more scientific like "bombogenic temperocyclonic storm" or maybe just "bombogenic temperate cyclone" lol

twitter should autoban these people did you see how bots are spreading a false narrative of australian wildfires being mainly "caused" by arsonists?

I dislike the term "bomb cyclone"- it's like they combined two words that dont belong together into one phrase. It sounds very awkward.

This is very poignant (and for more than just climate change reasons.) https://www.cbsnews.com/news/joel-sartore-on-saving-endangered-species-and-ourselves/ The video has images of species nearing extinction.

On a related topic, look up the series Blue Planet 2 on BBC America. It's EXCELLENT. It shows the vast variety of life in the depths of the oceans and what warming is doing to them. The answer to deep sea drilling should be a perpetual NO! 90% of all life lives down there and life may have started down there and the life there is so magnificently alien-like that I cant help but think that actual alien life would be like that. They showed fish with transparent heads where you can see their brains through their skulls (so they can look up without having to move their heads, they can actually look through their skulls!), fish that communicate by flashing different patterns of lights (we still dont know what they are saying to each other) and fish discovered 6km down that have actual feet and walk on the ocean floor and one particularly weird fish with two different sized eyes, one that always looks down and the other (much larger) that always looks up! They showed a part about coral reefs and what bleaching is doing to them and all the species dependent on them including clown fish that actually build homes inside the reefs and keep them clean.

I see the effects are different in different places- here on the east coast we've seen a rapid rise in relative humidity and annual precip totals. Longer allergy seasons and higher insect populations (and the bad kind of insects like mosquitoes.) And the changes to the ocean are also destroying the fragile marine ecosystem, this is having massive consequences which will only get worse.

It's interesting how the changes in the Pacific are causing all these changes all over the globe. They have a multiyear drought going on in Australia, very similar to what's been happening in the SW.

I'm sensing that most scientists feel that the error was on the conservative side too. I've noticed the predictions of sea level rise have gotten higher and we're already seeing sunny side flooding on a regular basis in Florida and South Carolina and even on the south shore of Long Island. Aren't there parts of the Florida Keys that have been underwater for 3 months now?
