Carbon tax is working already

If the lunatics are keeping the data, then you can be sure it is “fictional” not “factual”.

Maybe you haven't figured out that humans are not too smart?

No flooding in Florida? hahaahaha
Try reading the news!

speak for yourself on the smart thing
i can still look at an issue and come to my own conclusions , not what i am told to believe

What does it matter the links that I bring on here? You aren’t gonna believe in any true facts anyway. (Scientists email on climate change)

I am still waiting on somebody to actually provide some scientific evidence with references and sources to backup their opinions, but nothing. Just the usual BS and irrelevant political statements.

And more laughable arguments that there is no coastal flooding in Florida and still griping about the metric system. This is the best you can do?

-4 last night again
did you look out your window this morning
not supposed to freeze like this every night middle of may
probably even colder in your parts

as far as the city flooding thing , its real simple , even a child should be able to figure it out ?
THERE ARE TOO MANY PEOPLE LIVING TO GOD DAMN CLOSE TO THE GOD DAMN WATER
and therein too much cement & pavement , in case you don't know , it t doesn't absorb water like soil and trees and crops etc.
heres some reading for you;

There are at least three different things happening that make it seem like there are more floods today:

Over the last 50 years, the population of the United States has doubled (U.S. census), so any flood tends to affect a lot more people now. That makes it feel like the floods are more severe.
The media seems to pile on the coverage whenever any flood happens anywhere, so you hear about floods more now than you used to.
Floods today are more severe because of changes that people have made to the landscape.
The third factor is interesting. To understand how flooding can be more severe now, think about a 100-acre piece of land covered in trees. Let's say that 3 inches of rain falls on that land in a heavy downpour. Forested land is extremely good at absorbing and holding water. The leaves on the ground slow the water down and let the ground absorb it. All of that rainfall might be retained by the land and release slowly over several days.

Now imagine the same piece of land converted to a shopping mall. That 100 acres is now completely paved over. If three inches of rain falls, none of it is absorbed. So about 10 million gallons (40 million liters) of water runs straight to the nearest creek or river in a matter of a few minutes. Look around you in any developed area and you see tens of thousands of acres paved over like this. A heavy rain (from a hurricane, for example) can completely overwhelm rivers that were once adequate. The ground is not absorbing any of the water. (You do see efforts to control this sort of runoff in some cities. For example, next to some malls there are huge, dry catch basins. In a heavy rain, they fill with runoff and turn into lakes so that the water isn't immediately dumped into the river.)

The other thing that is happening today is that people now build structures in flood-prone areas and then erect levees and walls to try to keep the water out. Prior to this development, flooding rivers could spread out over wide areas when necessary, and no one noticed. Now, there is nowhere for the water to go except for the narrow, hardened channel of the river itself. The river rises higher, and if it breaches a levy it creates a major disaster.

It is not raining any more than normal. It's just that all of the rain that falls moves into a river very quickly, and the river and flood plains are much narrower than they used to be. This can create much more severe flooding.

actually no more flooding, drought , fires, etc. than normal , just msn dwelling on it , like trump , instead of looking for news
off of a science journal

The government and insurance companies are nuts for paying flood damages on buildings along waterways and lakes. Echo Lake, Crooked Lake, every lake means just that - its a lake and its going to flood as it has every 10-15-20 years. No surprise to most rational thinkers. We own one of those cottages and also know that occasionally we need sand bags and two or three sump pumps and maybe a few repairs. Water has gotten over the retaining wall twice since we owned it. No need for government or taxpayers, buyer beware!

And I'm still waiting for you to Name one alarmist event that has actually come true.

This TRUE, how is this a BAD world ending catastrophe?

Froze again last night , every night in may except one and all the las week of april

How are you enjoying this solar mininum chuckles ??

Still snowbirds here , they musta heard about justnotready’s carbon scam and how good it is cooling things off and since the ice is all gone up north they will just stay here since its so fn cold here
