    Iceland commemorates first glacier lost to climate change

    Iceland on Sunday honoured the passing of Okjokull, its first glacier lost to climate change, as scientists warn that some 400 others on the subarctic island risk the same fate. As the world recently marked the warmest July ever on record, a bronze plaque was mounted on a bare rock in a ceremony...

    Where did the 97% of scientists figure come from re: climate change?

    I don't know enough about climate change to take a personal position on whether we have global warming or not. People keep telling me "97% of scientists say there is global warming that's caused by humans." Where did this 97% figure come from? I was recently told that the past two years have...

    The Green New Deal

    AOC rolled out her Green New Deal today: Sounds wonderful, but the devil is in the details. For starters, the GND hand-waves away any questions about funding: And in case that isn't specific enough: The document is not all smoke and mirrors; only 90%. Getting down to specifics, they...

    [Continuation] Global warming discussion V

    Its cold in much of the USA, therefore global warming is fake. Haven't you heard? Just in case: yes that was sarcasm, but I've heard it said in earnest a few times this year already. This is a continuation of the Global warming discussion IV thread.

    GOP House says climate change is real....

    "The $696 billion bill, which sets up the military’s 2018 fiscal year budget, passed by a vote of 344-81." "The surprising section calls global warming “a direct threat to the national security” and instructs the Pentagon to create a report on how climate change could affect the military. It...

    Environmental Mega-disaster within 100 years

    Very disturbing article here that argues that measures against climate change are too little too late and the repercussions of climate change have been severely understated. It's a long article that goes into -Die-off -Food security -War -Air quality -Water security Etc If this is only half...

    Noam Chomsky Says GOP is the ‘Most Dangerous Organization in World History’

    http://www.politicususa.com/2016/11/15/noam-chomsky-gop-most-dangerous-organization-world-history.html I can't see how he's entirely wrong. Not even ISIS has the power to make the entire globe less inhabitable.

    Conservation is Conservatism

    Here is a reprint of a post I made on the website Conservation is Conservatism. On Freeman Dyson's thoughts about global warming. Hope you all enjoy it. As a general rule of thumb I largely agree with your debunking of Dyson. AGW most certainly is a serious threat. However, maybe even...

    Are low fossil fuel prices a win for the environment?

    The largest coal company in the states has filed for bankruptcy. Coal prices, along with oil, have plummeted. From a power station perspective and from the consumer perspective, it seems like this would increase demand and be a net bad thing from an environmental perspective but paradoxically...

    Mike Huckabee is full of something

    Since good old Huckabee didn't have his own thread in the new sub-forum, and the other threads on him in general USA politics weren't on this topic, I figured I'd start one for him here. Granted, I don't expect him to stay long in the primaries. He is just too far down the list in the clown car...

    So the Pope says AGW must be dealt with, while ignoring the fundamental reason

    It's commendable that the Pope enters the AGW debate, but sad that he also seems to ignore the most fundamental reason of all, for which the Catholic church has major responsibility. Namely that fossil fuels are not the primary problem, but population growth is. There are not enough resources...

    Global warming discussion IV

    This thread is continued from here. A few years ago I stumbled across this forum (technically JREF's back then) in my search for knowledge and to satisfy my curiosity. I was one of those 'fence sitters' where I wasn't sure what to believe. Since then, I have moved closer to town to shorten...

    What can individual people do about global warming?

    I've followed the primary global warming threads on and off for a while, and must say that while it's a very interesting debate going on, it doesn't offer many opportunities to touch on the issue that concerns me the most. I want to start a discussion on what the average person can do about...
