It seems lately like there is more denial than alarmism. And the reason for that is pretty straightforward - $$$.It seems that there is an abnormal amount of catastrophizing concerning potential climate change.
and now the question:
Why?
Wrong.It seems that there is an abnormal amount of catastrophizing concerning potential climate change.
and now the question:
Why?
1] Do you mean by proponents? Or by opponents?It seems that there is an abnormal amount of catastrophizing concerning potential climate change.
and now the question:
Why?
You don't mess with Mother Nature. It's all interconnected. It's like the Waltons. Take their money because they have too much but you're messing with the overall system.It seems that there is an abnormal amount of catastrophizing concerning potential climate change.
and now the question:
Why?
Do you know how many times the west antarctic ice sheet has melted>https://phys.org/news/2019-08-scientists-link-climate-west-antarctica.html
Scientists link climate change to melting in West Antarctica
...
Still not sure what your thesis is.Catastrophizing has two parts:
Part 1: Predicting a negative outcome.
Part 2: Jumping to the conclusion that if the negative outcome did in fact happen, it would be a catastrophe.
........
Ok: That's what I'm seeing.
Sure, Earth will survive. Many of us would kind of like to see a more close-to-home outcome though. Like, us surviving. I'll bet the flora and fauna that were extincted by the last climate change would have preferred that too.Do you know how many times the west antarctic ice sheet has melted>
Do you know when the west antarctic ice sheet has melted?
Do you know the results of the melting of the west antarctic ice sheet?
Were you assuming that the west antarctic ice sheet is permanent?
Go read the highlighted bit, and stop professing your obvious "stuff you, I'm alright Jack" bias.Do you know how many times the west antarctic ice sheet has melted>

It's hard to respond to nonsense, so I won't.A) I do, I plant trees where there weren't any for at least 180 years, and maybe longer (the first homesteader here, Alonzo Dennison, was said to have homesteaded on the edge of the forest)---( not sure exactly what that means---he most likely plowed the floodplain of the Iowa river, and grazed his cows and horses into the woodland---which he cut down for housing and fuel?---His nephew had quite a reputation for using a 10 oxen team to pull stumps out of other farmers fields)
B) I am part of mother nature---I was bred and born on this planet, the child of countless generations who were also born and bred on this planet...Could I be anything but part of mother nature?
Need I point out that you DID NOT answer the questions?Go read the highlighted bit, and stop professing your obvious "stuff you, I'm alright Jack" bias.
Here let me show you...."that human-caused global warming is linked to melting of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet".

But again, I am guessing at your thesis. I will try to withhold further comment until you make a statement about your position on the issue.
Need I point out that your so called questions do not deserve an answer.Need I point out that you DID NOT answer the questions?
A) I ain't got a "stuff you" attitude---never did---never will
B) Have I ever claimed that anthropogenic atmospheric forcing had no effect on the ice caps?
Hmm, I happen to think that the climate change ''deniers'' are the more hysterical ones. lol Like Trump, for example - he is trying to silence research that will further explore climate change dangers, and to that I'd have to ask...why?
and:Need I point out that your so called questions do not deserve an answer.
It certainly seems like a "don't care" attitude to me....
Good start...................It's hard to respond to nonsense, so I won't.
