    Climate change can be caused by humans or other causes. If other causes are already responsible for a portion of it and industrial activity is added on top of that it means if we want our goldilocks climate back we have to take serious action. We have to find ways to reduce the carbon in the atmosphere. And worse, it is dissolving into the sea and having disastrous consequences there too.

    We have to take unprecedented action and pronto.

    The good news is there are a lot of great new jobs to be had in tackling climate change.

    We can turn this effort into a total win/win.

    using that logic the only real solution is total elimination of the human population,,,

    why, because humans can't live on the planet without destroying the atmosphere with massive CO2 emissions?

    What he is trying to say is "despite my new screenname I am a troll sock puppet and I want to destroy your thread because I'm a total loser with scarcely any reason
    to wake up and get out of bed each day" And he is being crystal clear.

    I disagree.

    What is to stop us from transforming our energy production from carbon-emitting to non carbon emitting?

    What is to stop humans from planting more trees, capturing more carbon.

    Where is it written that we can't affect the level of carbon in the atmosphere?

    What I don't get is why they think reducing carbon output is all we have to do. What about the carbon already released? We've got to recapture that carbon, too. We have to go carbon-negative with our human civilization. I don't see why we can't do that if we make up our minds. We're humans. We can do anything we want. We have minds. We can conceptualize. We can get organized and work together. It might be the best thing that ever happened to humanity. It could force us to all work together for a common goal.

    WWII was a horrible thing. Terrible thing. But it had some good parts. It served to unite America. That unity has drifted away from us, but the effect was real.

    Now, the world faces a common threat. This could just have a good effect in the macroscopic sense. If this common threat forces the whole world to get more organized to face this together it could ease some of our differences. That would be amazing. It's OK to visualize really good things. That makes us one step closer to greatness.

    And we really do have a great world.

    We just need to appreciate it more and realize what we have.

    And it's not like we have a spare one handy.

    without CO2 the trees would all die and then we will die,,,

    What has happened with hurricanes in recent years?


    It’s been a punishing past few years for people living in the path of hurricanes in the US and Caribbean. Last year there were an above-average 15 named storms, including Hurricane Florence, which brewed off the west African coast before barrelling into North Carolina, plunging much of the state into darkness and dumping up to 76cm (30 inches) of rain in places, resulting in flooding that killed dozens of people.

    This was followed by Hurricane Michael, the first storm to make landfall in the US as a category five event since 1992. The 160mph storm obliterated the town of Mexico Beach in Florida, caused more than 70 deaths and racked up an estimated $25bn (£19bn) in damage.

    These disasters came in the wake of the 2017 hurricane season, which caused a record $282bn in damage. Hurricane Harvey unloaded 33tn gallons of water on Texas, the astonishingly strong Hurricane Irma, which reached a top speed of 177mph, ravaged Florida and several thousand people died in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria, another category five storm, tore across the island.

    While the overall number of hurricanes has remained roughly the same in recent decades, there is evidence they are intensifying more quickly, resulting in a greater number of the most severe category four and five storms.

    The proportion of tropical storms that rapidly strengthen into powerful hurricanes has tripled over the past 30 years, according to recent research. A swift increase in pace over a 24-hour period makes hurricanes less predictable, despite improving hurricane forecasting systems, and more likely to cause widespread damage.

    “When I was a boy, before Christmas, we used to go ice fishing,” said Axel Hansen, 43, who was born in Tasiilaq. “Now it is impossible. We have to wait almost two months after Christmas. The snow is not so good anymore — it’s soft and wet. In the old days it was hard and easier to go hunting and dog sledding. Now it is not so good.”
    Such drastic changes to ice conditions can have deadly consequences. Kúko, who works as a teacher in Tasiilaq, said four people have drowned from falling through thin ice in the past 15 years — an unusually high number for a town of experienced hunters who grew up using dog sleds, not snowmobiles, and harpoons, not shotguns, to nab their prey.
    “It is much more dangerous to go on the ice now,” she said. “It’s unpredictable and more thin, so you can easily go through the ice and drown. Hunters used to know exactly how the ice would be.”
