Look! Just look!

Why do people want Mr. Moore's production movie banned?

it's over one hour and forty minutes.

I tend to get a little nervous when radical lefties talk about depopulating planet Earth.

Has anyone watched it? I just dont know if i can handle that whiney fuck for an entire 90 minutes without someone vouching for it

Well most lefties absolutely HATE it... so I AM interested.

But yeahno.

Good news!

“President-elect Biden recently said, ‘I believe that we can own the 21st century car market again by moving to electric vehicles.’ We at General Motors couldn’t agree more,” Ms. Barra wrote in a letter Monday to leaders of some of the nation’s largest environmental groups.

She added, “we are immediately withdrawing from the pre-emption litigation and inviting other automakers to join us,” a signal to Toyota and Fiat-Chrysler, the other two major automakers that have sided with the Trump administration against California in the ongoing legal fight.

G.M.’s maneuvering was a public humiliation to Mr. Trump as he pursued his democracy-defying effort to subvert the will of the American electorate and claim another term. Ms. Barra gave no warning to the administration, but she did speak by telephone on Monday with Mary Nichols, California’s top climate regulator and an architect of the Obama-era fuel economy rules. Ms. Nichols is also a leading candidate to run the Environmental Protection Agency under Mr. Biden.

March was the warmest March on record, which makes it the tenth consecutive month to set a new record for warmest on record.

Also:

"the global average temperature is the highest on record, with the past 12 months being 1.58 degrees (Celsius) above pre-industrial levels," said Samantha Burgess, deputy director of the Copernicus Climate Change Service, which released the report.

Seems we're headed toward a Pliocene kind of climate, which is the last time CO2 levels were as high as they're now.

2-3 C hotter than today
No polar ice caps
Sea levels 15-25 metres higher than today
Far more volatile weather patterns than we've had for the past two million years

This might be a good time to invest in property in Yukon, Nunavat, North-West territories, Alaska, Greenland and Siberia.

Just try to avoid areas that are lowland or where the melting permafrost is several metres deep, as the latter can cause structural instabilities if you plan to build something.

Oh FFS.....why even bother with that line. There is no way of knowing that.

Honestly I was also wondering how anyone could determine that.

I would think that volatility occurs when there's some sort of disruption, like rapid increase (or decrease for that matter), in temperature, massive volcanic eruption, etc. but I wouldn't think it would be a lasting phenomenon. Eventually an equilibrium is established.

No i didnt get out to the pits...we were in cogen upgrading control equipment if I remember right.

Thats funny about smelting with bellows didn't Cypress ever make it out of the bronze age?

He is talking about the bronze age.

BTW in all this talk about electric car batteries where is the talk about how long a petrol engine will last before it requires constant parts replacement. how long alternators, fuel pumps, starter motors, and car batteries last and need replacing?
electric motors have far fewer moving parts so should last comparatively indefinitely with only brushes and batteries being the weak point.

Very good point. Personally I will most definitely buy electric but only when they advnce the technology enough to be functional for everything i use a vehicle for. Dynamic braking and momentum generation will advance to thr point eventually where you likely wont be tethered to a plug every 500 km. I can see them one day not requiring external power except in unusual circumstances...this unfortunately is at least 10 years away

Some of the solid state batteries they are now starting to use can last 1000 or even 2000 km between charging, and can be charged faster than the currently used batteries as there is no liquid and thus less of a temperature problem when charging.

Give it a couple of years. The battery technology is moving along almost as fast as computers did in the 90’s and onward.
Five years from now the electric vehicles will be amazing, and probably cheaper than fossil cars.

It’s what the science predicts. Higher surface temperatures in the oceans leads to more frequent and more violent hurricanes.
Also, hotter temperatures leads to more water evaporating and what goes up most come down, so all in all a lot more rain, but not necessarily in the hottest parts, so we’ll se more deserts and more torrential downpours and flooding in other regions.

Humans will adapt, we can live almost anywhere, but as the sea levels rise and the deserts grow, there will be less land suited for agriculture, so we may see a lot of climate refugees trying to relocate to the places that are still habitable. This could lead to armed conflicts. But it’ll probably be another 50 years before it gets really problematic, so we here at this board are not likely to be seriously affected. I’m more concerned about the children that are born today. They’re probably going to be way worse off.

Yes and we all know how accurate climate models have been in the past.

Well, science has a better track record than religion at least.

Jesus claimed the end of the world would come within the lifetime of those listening to him, yet here we are, 2000 years later, still waiting for the end of the world.

A heathen interpreting the bible is always good for a laugh!

Fucking commies and their fucking climate models...

Yah Per, it's probably one of them parables that Jesus keeps telling. Like when he says "weeping and gnashing of teeth" to refer to the nothingness which is the unbelievers' destiny.

Jesus just had a knack for making things cryptic enough that only the true believers would understand.
