PoliTalker anti-troll thread thief disclaimer:Science predicted this:If this thread is stolen, plagiarized, will the thief have the nerve to use the entire OP, word for word? Including this disclaimer?
If you want my take on it, you'll have to post to this original PoliTalker thread. I refuse to be an enabler for online bullies, so I won't post to a stolen thread. I won't even read it.
Thread thievery is the tool of trolls. It's what people do when they have been so impolite they got banned from a conversation. And then they're sorry and they feel left out. So they steal the thread, call it their own. Then they think they can be in the original conversation. But they can't. If you think thread thievery is cheap and low then don't support it. Save your comments for the original PoliTalker thread. PoliTalker thanks you.
The people banned from this thread were banned because they refused to be polite, so I refuse to talk to them. I came to talk about Just Plain Politics. That's why I am 'PoliTalker.'
More ImpactsImpacts of Global Warming:
Wildfires are increasing and wildfire season is getting longer in the Western U.S. as temperatures rise. Higher spring and summer temperatures and earlier spring snow-melt result in forests that are hotter and drier for longer periods of time, priming conditions for wildfires to ignite and spread.
While hurricanes are a natural part of our climate system, recent research indicates that their destructive power, or intensity, has been growing since the 1970s, particularly in the North Atlantic region.
And another thing. Due to the contentious nature of this subject, AGW threads tend to be a little heated. Now pay attention. Sit up straight.
Assume good posture.
Take a deep breath.
Exhale.
Drink some water.
Good.
Let's make this thread no flames. Please fight clean. Attack the argument, not the poster. Thanks. And thank yourselves. We're all just people who want what's best for the world.

I caught just a part of a Tom Friedman trip to Africa where he noted it's getting hotter and the agricultural fields need more water to survive. People are beginning to migrate out of the area.

I think this was it.

Gee, where do migrants come from.
Hello kudzu,
I hope America is listening to this masquerade.
Jon Stewart thought it was a joke when Trump announced (yet again) that he was a candidate. Laughed his butt off.
Now we have to put up with this major set-back to the effort to combat human caused global warming. I just hope everybody is paying real good attention.
Sooner or later it's got to sink in what a mistake this guy is.
We got a lotta work to do!
In our political house and our planet.

The Capitalists understand the System is based on an EXPANDING population of Consumers.
Once the population contracts, there will be LESS Buyers of their Products.
LESS Buyers is Bad for Business.
You can see why Capitalist Governments want MORE People (MORE Consumers to buy MORE Corporate Products)
Do your part, Fentoine ... "Go Shopping".
