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.

more stats..... the 2010s were the hottest decade on record and had 6 of the top 10 hottest years on record. Also the one year that was hotter than 2019 was the super el nino year of 2016.

funny thing was that was during a solar maximum and right now we are (supposedly) in a solar minimum

Didn't we just get one of those in the Philippines?

it was 70 and 74 in Boston over the weekend, I wonder if back to back days of 70+ in Boston in January has ever happened before?

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.

Just in time for the 70 and sunny skies on Sunday ;-)

it covers up all the dirty concrete crap on the ground!
