Climate Change(d)?

Just a few numbers about lawns.
63,000 sq mi. About the size of Geogia.
Only 2% of natural prairies remain.
Only 35% of original butterflies remain.
50% of birds are gone.
Millions of tons of pesticides and herbicides are used to maintain this monoculture.
Gas lawn mowers put out a lot of pollution.
tRump loves golf. Need I say more?

No wonder it takes so bloody long to mow.

Where's Geogia?

If you meant Georgia, that's about 26,900 sq mi.

There are zero natural prairies in my lawn; I spray each spring for Bindi, Clover and Prairie.

I usually enjoy hot weather, but the temps have been about 8 to 12 degrees F above average over the past two weeks and it's starting to become annoying. 97 yesterday and 94 today. It will cool down a bit for several days but the forecast says we'll be back in the 90s next week.

Anyone who denies the climate change that we are experiencing now is due to human activity is an idiot. Sadly, Idiocracy seems to be here and dear leader is the chief idiot. That movie, "Idiocracy" now seems like a documentary.

What is happening now is local weather.
What has been happening and is predicted to happen is local climate.
You keep mentioning “it’s a lovely 74 degrees in Santa Monica”, as if your personal space weighs more heavily on the asserted fact of global climate change, than the sum of all the other quadrillions of data points required to develop any useful picture of global climate.
Very Trumpy of you.
(Yes, that’s a compliment)

Major climate change today, it’s raining!!

And again.

What determines your local wetatherr and why is your weather diffrent than Death Vally or London?

Ever watch those weather reportss showing global weather and high low global ocean pressure systems moving around affecting your lo0cal weather?

If you live in Ca you must be aware of the Pineapple Express.

AI Overview
A Pineapple Express is a strong atmospheric river that pulls a long plume of warm, wet air and heavy moisture from near Hawaii across the Pacific Ocean toward California and the West Coast

The Source: It forms in the tropical Pacific Ocean around Hawaii, where warm sun heats the water and creates heavy water vapor.

How is it that higher ocean temperatures around Hawaii can cause heavy rain and flooding in California?

A humanoid species Californius Ignormicus once thought to be extinct has been sighted in Santa Monica California, puzzling scientists. Piles of their bones have been found in the La Brea Tar Pits. Apparently they jumped in en masse.
 
Steve, I don’t take this climate catastrophe nonsense seriously. This thread has been going for five years. The sky is not falling, the earth is not burning up. Why this is disappointing to you and others is a mystery.

Apparently you not take seriously global reporting from counties around the world seriously, and the global science concensus.

Once you acknowledge a phenomena like the Pineapple Express affecting California form Hawaii due to higher ocean temperatures your facade e begins to crumble.

Your repeated use of the word catastrophe claiming all climate science is ranting a looming catastrophe is itself hyperbole and culttlike.

The anti climate change group is a cult.

What culminate scientists are doing is modeling climate using established science and actual data, predicting how the future may look.

Long tern predictions are drought and reduced food and water supplies. Here in the USA agriculture and water supplies are affected by global warming.

If you live in La area take a look at hte satte of regional water suplie sand future predilections.

Yes some politicians and others got over excited, but that is not sober climate science based in established science and observable measured data,
The basic principle;es used to model and predict local wearer are the same principles used to model and predict climate change.

All natural climate cycles have been eliminated. What is left is adding greenhouse gases to the atmosphere and applying basic science.

Spence is very competitive, even cut throat. If there was any major flaws in the climate models somebody would have found it.

As to a catastrophe it all depends ohow you look at it. No one is predicting an apocalyptic near term doom.

Right now it is catastrophic island and coastal dwellers. Another degree in global temperature could reduce e production. glovbl staple.

A lot of things are adding up to a mjor change in human civilization.



You say you dismiss climate change, but you hvae yet to refute any of it.

Opinions are likass holes, everybody has one.
 
we’ve been doing this same cycle for years. Your whole argument depends on predictions made by wonky data modeling, activist “scientists” and promoted by media like the BBC.

How dare you, indeed. 😂

What a joke.
 
Wonky data? Weak at best. To you wonky, to those who know and use science it is rather routine. As an engineer I applied science for a living. I am, about as skeptical of any science claims as one can be. I always look at it criticality.

The measured fact that the Earth is warming and sea is rising is a simple objective fact. Not 'wonky'. If not human pollution as the cause, hten what is the natural cause?

There is nothing new, unusual, or arcane to climate science.

You have not offered any refutation of climate science.

Right now it is not about future predictions, It is about how global warming is affecting us right now.

Again, you must not be watching national and global reporting.

To you adding 1 + 1 is probably 'wonky'.

Being dismissive and opinionated not change the observable facts.

My belief that climate science is correct on cellmate change comes form experience whit and know deg of silence, and knowing how science works.
