    Why do you assume that changing to a post-Industrial model requires the destruction of capitalism?

    The OP is a retard.

    He's not retarded, he has alternative chromosomes.

    I could have a Teq level response to this, but the Global Warming conspiracy is so mind-numblingly delusional that I would be forced to light myself on fire if I took the time to type it out.

    If you call it a conspiracy it gives the chance to focus on the ludicrous nature of the charge rather than a sober look at what can be done at what cost that will actually do anything.

    The climate has changed before us? and will after us. That's not the issue either.

    What effect are we really having? What can be done that isn't fucking stupid like shitty light bulbs?

    A warm earth is better for mammals than another mini ice age. Or a REAL ice age

    New York isn't going to sink and if Miami does who the fuck cares? The place is a swamp anyway.

    Just when I thought I was out I got sucked back in again to yet another climate warming change cold thread

    Lots of hyperbole on both sides of this.

    The effect is here:

    It is inarguable that we are contributing to an anomalous level of CO2 based on the norms of the current geological epoch. It's absolutely true that this isn't the first time levels have been that high, but at that time human habitation wasn't a thing. A warmer earth may be better for mammals in a vacuum, but it's not better for our current geographic patterns and the way humanity is set up for the foreseeable future. Our cities, systems, and livelihoods are build around reasonably predictable climate patterns. The higher that level gets, the less predictable those become, and that's a huge issue for people that aren't 70 year olds in Temecula.

    So what works to change it?

    Less predictable weather? Seriously?

    It might be a good idea to reduce the voluntary human emissions of CO2.

    Will it help? I have no idea.

    Will it hurt? No.
