Bill O'Reilly. Probably.

Crime against humanity.

I'm in a computer room. Two jackets on and a blanket around my legs.


FREEZING in here

global warming.... HA!

Next year when its not El Nino year and cooler they'll say its global cooling.

I've been explaining climate change to people for over 20 years now but to most people it seems like too remote of a problem to be worthy of immediate action. While I'm horrified by the apparent acceleration in warming and hope it's a statistical anomaly, perhaps it will generate enough awareness to build the political consensus that is so sadly lacking on this issue.

Why they can't think 5 minutes into the future, when I Thought that was the wonder of humanity.

It is not that we are too dumb, its that apex predators always manage to go extinct pretty quickly, and we humans are nothing if not apex predators. Look at how many species of plants and animals we've already managed to make extinct. I just hope we manage to go extinct before we kill off all like on earth above microbes and cockroaches.

those motivated by growth-at-all-cost unfettered capitalism. These will crash.

Consult, for example, with representatives of those cultures termed "First Americans".

Record highs around Seattle and Portland yesterday. The 89 in Seattle is the earliest in the year this has happened in recorded history. As someone who has followed the temp record closely for my area in Oregon, I can tell you it has been abnormally warm the last few years. Only three months have come in below average temp wise since the beginning of 2014.

Now one local event or even a series of events does not prove anything in and of itself, anymore than that ass hat Imhoff's snowball does, but the trend is disturbing at the moment. But add this to the growing body of evidence world wide and the outlook is scary to me.

Look at by how much the old record was broken.

RECORD EVENT REPORT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SEATTLE WA
127 AM PDT TUE APR 19 2016


...RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURE SET AT SEATTLE-TACOMA WA AIRPORT...

A RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURE OF 89 DEGREES WAS SET AT SEATTLE-TACOMA WA
AIRPORT YESTERDAY. THIS BREAKS THE OLD RECORD OF 77 SET IN 1962.

It's only noon.

Crazy

I saw a Facebook post from one of the local NWS people here in Portland who was coming off his shift at 1am last night and the outside temp was still 8 degrees above the average high temp for the day.

Allergies are flaring

The lettuce in my little garden wilts quickly.

maybe, just maybe people would say, "Huh, maybe we should listen to scientists about science."

until the members of congress are walking in water up to their ankles, maybe only maybe, something will be done.

Sadly, they will probably claim it was always like that.

I have heard that the residents there would never re-elect him now just because of his denial

Intentional deception for some, true lemminglike belief for others, either way:
"It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!"

I would like to extend a hearty "WELL DONE" (as in I'll have mine well done) To BushCo and friends! Thanks George(s), for the insistent denial of what was happening before our very eyes. The same sorta kudos to Mitch McTurtle - to be forgiven since he has lotsa coal to push. Let's not forget the recent speakers who have the best interests of our pollutant industries near and dear to their collective, cold hearts.
Let us hope that whoever is sworn in next January, they're Corporo-friendly sorts who will talk a green shift while protecting the rights of those who'll continue to belch carbon and methane into the atmosphere. God knows, we wouldn't wanna disrupt their stock's glow. Better to have the Earth glow than to disrupt the NYSE!

20 more years and I should be toast anyway. But I'll still fight for earth up until I kick.

it was George Carlin that said it best:

the Earth sure doesn't need us.

Reference is made in this amazing video of a 9 degree rise in temperature
in just a few decades. And this was in the time of low population and
wood heat.

Thanks for the thread, Purveyor.

Mother nature is saying "Fuck You".

A senator had a snowball in Congress.

the earth is dying. No matter what you say, either of our candidates would be a better steward of the environment than any republicant.

We need to quit this war on each other and begin the war on the Republicans.

is whether we will move forward, or stand still.

nothing will change. If we change that, then we can go to work.

Eh?

Cause a few earthquakes.

We're getting really close to the point where we just need to decide how we want to go out and what kind of time capsules we want to leave behind.

The real tragedy of human destruction of the natural world is the loss of so many other amazing species. Human evolution has proven to be unfortunate, as the first species to harness advanced technology has used it to destroy the only known biosphere in the universe.

I saw a glimpse of this two years ago, before El Nino.

I'm worried. And so is everyone I talked with today. This town never saw sunlight until recently. This is a fogged in coastal town, no more.

Please listen to our podcasts of Extinction Radio archived at extinctionradio.org or on the Extinction Radio channel on youtube.

We interviews with leading climate scientists and grief counselors and people who have figured out our to live during our specie's end game

but will look you up. Thank you.

I'm sure I saw something to the effect that some climate Scientist were thinking the tipping point was much closer then what is being said even among Leading climate people. It's just that with all the push back from the right they are afraid of speaking out. Anyone else remember anything on this or am I just getting old?

Look behind you.

If you spend too many years reading and listening to all the woes and screwed up things people do to each other it gets to be a blur, Thanks again.

I don't think we're going to fix things.
