2016 was the hottest year on record

[Lord of the Fraud]

Confirmed by the World Meteorological Organisation. As was 2015 and 2014.


So we can see that our planet is on a bit of a downswing. But how crazy are things going to get?


Leaving what or who is responsible for this downswing aside. And without mentioning the orange gimp or the former next POTUS.


Can somebody explain what 'major' damage will we see first. Will countries (or at least part of them) literally sink below the waves?


Presuming this rise in temperature trend is here to stay for at least the foreseeable future. What other crazy shit can we expect to witness in our lifetime?

Where would PFA be without climate change?

It comes up regularly and I usually pass. However, its winter and I'm paying some bills.

Discussion always starts with the quest for a singular villain. The orange gimp, Gore or some CEO. Right away it's veering into the land of simpletons.

We could all live in cabins with dirt floors and subsistence farm. That's a good sustainable model. Infant mortality and tuberculosis. I am glad I am not hunting on the Savannah.

There are too many people on this planet. Everyone wants a better life. India and China are approaching western consumption fast. You can't deny them. Everyone wants air conditioning. Neither the chemistry involved, the raw materials necessary (mining) nor the energy necessary can be justified.

There is global warming but the water crisis always seemed under publicized but it's the same thing in my mind.

It takes an estimated 39,090 gallons of water to make a car. It's unclear if that includes the more 2,000 gallons used to make its tires--each tire takes 518 gallons to make. [1]
Pair of Jeans

It takes around 1,800 gallons of water to grow enough cotton to produce just one pair of regular ol' blue jeans.

These kind of figures got me to muck my cards. A cotton shirt takes 1800 gallons. The population keeps exploding. Druff lives in the desert. Makes no sense. He was supposed to die by this choice.

There is no Social Darwinism and our natural enemies have been removed. The only hope is some kind of cataclysmic event. It's a self correcting feature that has been disabled.

We have a health club. We have 30 showers. 5 pools & 2 hot tubs. We have our own waste water treatment plant. You want to talk about meaningless water consumption in the grand scheme?

You can't imagine the spinning meter on wet and dry saunas. I used to be manic about shutting them off all the time. It doesn't matter any more.

The amount of trash we get hauled is frightening when I think about it. Just one business.

We have 25 stationary bicycles that are outdated. No CRT screens. They will all get shitcanned so people can simulate work. It makes no sense.

I'm not the bad guy. This is what people want and they'll purchase it from me or the competition.

So it's snowing a little bit now. The plows are hitting the parking lot and I pray for another warm winter.

You should pray the orange gimp launches a few strikes if you are serious about global warming. I personally don't give it much thought. It's hopeless.

My daily ramble. It ain't Jew flow, I ain't that good.

wow. just wow. food for thought. Good show.

When the Artic Ocean becauses ice-free year-round, and surrounding shoreline becomes subtropical beachfront property, Russia will have the most sought-after beachfront properties?

it's all bullshit just ask druff and the r's
global warming nothing but a big hoax

Here's what I do, I come in here and talk shit to all you right wing skeptics for causing our extinction. Then I go jump in my hot rod and burn some rubber, blow off a little steam. Mean while all you right wing skeptics jump in your Calif certified low emission vehicle, so yeah.

Haha glad the gov. doesn't have it's boot on my neck like those "lib" states.

All kidding aside, the debate is over.

Outside of corporate profit, Jesus, tax cuts for the rich, and wars for Israel there's NO merit what so ever to any of the rights positions.

Politicians lie, get over it.

I can't imagine how Sanlmar feels about the direction of the thread after he types up some deep thoughts about the actual topic.

Or how LOTF feels after specifically mentioning to forget about the next POTUS.

So your life revolves around your PFA posting?

[wrenchjockey]

Tens of thousands of years ago, the spot on which I stand making this post was covered under a mile thick sheet of ice. I'm ok with it. I will also fire up my jeep (long since tossed the stock motor out for a fire-breathing LS1 and tires that are 6" taller than stock) and guzzle dead dinosaurs as I pin the skinny pedal to the firewall trying to climb up rocks that billy goats won't dare climb, because fun. Oh yeah, and I accidentally drove over a living, breathing photosynthesis participating scrub brush plant once because I got a little out of whack over the whoop-de-whoops and ended up out of trail for a quick hot second there. Sorry, tree huggers. 'Murica.

Funny we were below normal here in the blast furnace of AZ.. Hell right now weve had a well below normal January with temps avg 3-4degrees below normal so far.. Normally were on the rise back towards avg around 70 yet were back in the 50s again this week and another massive snowstorm is about to hit the northern part of the state with as much as 2FT in Flagstaff..

That's the irony. I don't personally care about global warming.

I am convinced the issue boils down to population and consumerism. Global population was 9 billion in 2009 and will be 12 billion in 2050. That growth comes from the third world, specifically China & India. Druff has one kid and I have 2, for instance.

It ain't the raw number but the logarithmic growth in consumerism over there. Can't deny them air conditioning and cars.

So unless there is an apocalyptic event or the Plague the earth is fucked as we know it.

I tend to live my life in my head and in the abstract. It is a life dominated by apathy. I strive hard for hate where I can find it just to spice things up but it's an act that I feign.

The happiest people I know live in the moment, in contrast. I am not that guy. They embrace the moment. I am always looking down from 10,000 feet.

Every once in a while I consider how I actually feel about issues like these personally. As if it matters. So there was the riff post.

I am a child of the depression. Not age-wise but I have been broke and grew up somewhat poor.

I can't throw shit out. I save paper towels. I turn down thermostats. Wife LOVES throwing things out. Buying something new. My joke is I'll give her an old shirt or something to throw out and tell her it's foreplay - I'll throw out something else if she'll go for a roll in the sack.

We have a plowing contractor who leaves his engine running all day regardless if he is using the machine or not. I feel s twinge of stress every time I hear the motor. Can't help it.

I'll hear the showers running endlessly in locker room. Usually kids just talking to their friends and wasting time. I fight the urge to move them along.

None of this makes a difference in the grand scheme of things. I know that intellectually. It's just a fault in my internal wiring.

2,078 Plus your three dupes haha. Save it.
At the moment i'm preoccupied with the total destruction of the right wing, you fuckers have gone totally insane. This is one of many battlegrounds.

Consider yourself lucky. Some planets don't even have atmospheres.

[LarryLaffer]

wait a minute San, are you a hoarder? and why do you need to bribe your wife to "go for a roll in the sack"

Global population was 9 billion in 2009

[Sanlmar]

Global population was 9 billion in 2009

Got me

2009 6.8b
2050 9.7b

I remembered it as a 3b spread. So I got that right.

[Sanlmar]

I am delighted to see the subject turn to something of interest. Me

I am bored out of my tree and feeling reflective.

I am a hoarder. Christmas Day I went to put on something nice. I pulled out a sweater from my closet. It still had the tag on it - from last fucking Christmas. Sister-in-law saw it and said she gave it to me as a present.

Is that a hoarder or just a cheap prick? I am that way personally. I'll buy my kid a car but it kills me to get a new one for myself. I got issues.

Just went to the auto show. I don't know why.

The sex thing. I am older than you so let me warn you of something. Pace yourself. As women approach middle age all the inhibitions disappear and their libido gets crazy. They finally stop hearing their mother's warning in their head? They are making up for lost time?

I don't need to bribe her. I need to hide.

She does get off on throwing stuff out and shopping. I used to have something to say and it used to be a fight. I have learned to shut my yap. Happy wife and happy life b.s. It's true.
