A 4.5 million year old planet must never be "allowed" to change the slightest bit according to these self-appointed managers or our lives! A species -- us -- which has survived through ice ages in the past will be unable to adjust to and flourish in warmer of colder surroundings say the would-be dictators of our future. What they really want is POWER.
Really? The Austraian government had to tell the UN, & the clowns who invent their climate alarmist narratives to shut up about the Great Barrier Reef, because it's in the best condition it's ever been in, in the last 40 years or more. KOut
Not sure where you're getting your news form but I'd rather trust the scientists than the government predominantly focused on winning the next election.
@@planetonepointfive All of you "climate change" hysterics are trying to send us back to the Dark Ages because it makes you feel special. A rational reaction is to adjust to the changes in a way that won't do that, but nooooooo that won't make you feel special!! You have to be able to change everyone else's life, you rhymes with witch.
I have no doubt I'll live to see an ice free arctic and a world where i can no longer eat food from the sea, where polar bears will cease to exist. I will see my planet die before my eyes. I already am. I am in my mid 20's and i can only remember a tiny sliver of my childhood before things started changing notably in my local ecosystem.
I feel so terribly for your generation. Having to pay the price of the past is beyond unfair. It’s too soon to give up and we’ll keep working towards building a greener future. 💚
You self-dramatizing little airhead, learn something about the history of the planet. It is NOT about to die. It is 4.5 BILLION years old -- not 6,000 as your church might have told you, or, "uh, um, maybe-hunredthousand-I-dunno-exactly" -- and has been everything from a lump of iron to a ball of ice and in between and is still here and flourishing. I am 80 and have not noticed any change to even get exercised about let alone hysterical and determined to interfere with everyone else's lives. Do you really think forcing everyone to buy an electric car they can't afford and that blows up in flames on the highway, or ruining the restaurant industry by banning gas stoves, trying to force us all to eat nothing but plants insects, cover every bit of land and sea with ugly giant windmills that won't produce energy only rust, with solar panels to cover millions of acres, and all the rest of your stupid plans. You are just dramatizing yourself so you can feel like Ms. Save the Planet and feel smug about all the people whose lives you make miserable because you think you can make the planet never change again in the slightest way like a bunch of religious nuts preparing for the "Rapture" or some such mystical idiocy. Your idiot age group deserves to be lured into cutting off parts of your bodies and ruining the rest with inappropriate hormones.
Remember Al Gore, & his fictional documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth." I believe they wrongly awarded him an Academy award for all the climate misinformation he publicized in his grifter movie. He incorrectly predicted the same horrific outcomes you've repeated in your comment, except they were supposed to have happened years ago, & a decade ago with the ice free arctic one. The hard truth is there are 30% more Polar Bears thriving in 3 primary sub- populations, than when he predicted their extinction in the wild. You should be happy for the increased numbers of Polar Bears happily reproducing very well thank you very much, in the wild ... fat, & sassy ... but something tells me you will not welcome good news like an apex species flourishing under current climactic conditions. The only thing that the Polar Bears have to worry about is whether the wild Wulrus don't over populate, & overwhelm the clam, & mallusk prey species they feed on, which has been known to happen . . . NATURALLY! nothing to do with human beings, warmer temperatures,, the sun monster, or atmospheric C02 levels, a trace gas that makes up roughly .004 of 1% of the earths total atmosphere, or 400 parts per MILLION. Carbon is the basis of all life on the planet, & C02 is simply plantfood, as in what is pumped into greenhouses every day, all over the world to get more tomatoes, or bigger flowers , & yet some of you have let yourselves demonize a beneficial substance the earth is literally starved of today. If atmospheric C02 levels drop below 200 parts per MILLION, do you have a clue what would happen? The catostrophic hellscape you all worry about at night before you doze off, you know all living things dropping dead. Well it could be 2 degrees warmer, 2 degrees cooler, or the same average global temps we currently enjoy, since there are 95% FEWER deaths from weather related natural disasters in 2023, than there were in 1923. You know back in the good old days before all the C02 emmitting vehicles, when the average horese emmitted more C02 in 1 year, than the typical automobile would in it's entire 10 year average usefull lifespan, before firefighting outside of city limits was a thing. West of the Mississipi, if you knew there was a fire headed in your dirrection you could pray it hit the next valley over, or pack up all your worldly goods, & your favorite family members & head in the opposite dirrection in your wagon, your model T, on horseback, or just carried your stuff & walked quickly because there were no fire roads, no interstate highways, & no real road network at all in most parts of the west, no chain saws, no bull dozers, no water dropping air planes, no smoke jumpers parachuting in to cut a hand line in the path of the oncoming flames, no satelite tracking software, no tanker trucks, no professional fire fighters . . . just some brave volunteers with primitive shovels, a few dozen wet gunny sacks to beat down the flames & a healthy fear of God Almighty if they had that much. The idea that wild fire seasons are the worst on record, or that this latest "big" fire is the largest in California history is so utterly laughable, if they didn't want everyone to really believe such outrageous, & provable lies, you would think it was a joke too. Hell, on the day of the Great Chicago Fire, when virtually the entire thing burned to the ground in a single night, in the late 1800's, that was only the 2nd, or 3rd largest fire in the country ... ON THAT SAME DAY. When the Spanish first laid eyes on California they remarked that the entire length, & bredth of this vast new land was shrouded in smoke from one end to the other, because indians had to light the entire delta on fire every year just to have some chance at hunting the ducks, & geese that have migrated through that region many 10's of 1,000's of years before the first Native Americans turned up. The so called natural environment in California where I'm from, was in fact a far more artificial, man made environment than the tenement districts of New York City, because the Native Americans had at least 10,000 consecutive fire seasons to carefully select which species would survive, which species would be burned every few years, & which species would die out, by planned, controlled burns deliberately set under proper weather conditions, at the best time of the year for such fires, to keep them under control. A forrest that did not have a natural, lightning strike fire burn through the undergrowth, fallen trees, dropped branches, & pine needles became a food desert that was literally impossible to enter, & far too dangerous to even spend the night near it's edge. No hunting of anykind was even possible, no gathering of roots, berrirs, or birds eggs. Those overgrown "natural" forrests were impenetrible jungles that sapped what energy you might have, providing no access to anything edible to sustain even a lone warrior. They had to set the forrests on fire within 5 years of the last fire, so that just the underbrush, the dead trees, & other flamable fuel sources would provide nutrients for the fresh growth that surely would follow in the spring. The fires moved so rapidly, with limited fuel loads, the mature standing trees, & hardy vegetation would withstand the brief bout of flames, & not have flames reach the the lowest limbs, or the canopy. The second, or third year after a cleanisng brush fire, forrests were the most productive, most accessable, & the safest from deadly fires. ... why bother with the facts. The peak fire season for virtually every western state in the US, for acerage burned in wild fires was sometime in the 1960's, & that's only because the US Forrest Service is a relatively new agency, unlike the Treasury, Defense, or State Departments that date back to the founding. Not that the older records of truely stagering fire seasons, in the 1930's {the warmest decade in US history by far, easily 20% warmer consistantly than any of the so called "hottest year on record" BS they trumpet almost without fail, year after year, after year, one lie stacked atop the next, with more lies placed on those easily debunked claims. The infamous "dust bowl" & deadly drought that ravaged much of the midwest, & the great plains for several years in a row, driving millions of farmers off the land buried up to 2, & 3 feet in descicated, lifeless, windblown top soil that was whisked away from another farmers land 2 states away. One dust storm that originated in the west Texas plains was between 1/2 mile, & 1 mile into the sky, & the prevailing winds took that massive wall of top soil ripped from the farms of 1,000''s, if not tens of 1,000's of farmers, & ranchers in Oklahoma, & Texas, carrying it eastward over the mighty Mississippi river.

To this day the record all time high temperatures in most cities, & town s in the US occured sometime in the 1930's, as do records for the most days over 90°, & most days over 100°, & most consecutive days without measurable rain fall, not to mention the world's record all time high temperature for planet earth Death Valley, California 133° F, 1934. It saddened me to watch my Governor lie right in the face of President Trump, telling him California had set a new record high temprature, in front of dozens of reporters , & news cameras, & not one of those journalists called out that blatant falsehood that most boys in this country used to learn on their own, by simply reading through the Guinnis Book of World Records when we were 8, or 9 years old..

West of the Mississipi, if you knew there was a fire headed in your dirrection you could pray it hit the next valley over, or pack up all your worldly goods, & your favorite family members & head in the opposite dirrection in your wagon, your model T, on horseback, or just carried your stuff & walked quickly because there were no fire roads, no interstate highways, & no real road network at all in most parts of the west, no chain saws, no bull dozers, no water dropping air planes, no smoke jumpers parachuting in to cut a hand line in the path of the oncoming flames, no satelite tracking
software, no tanker trucks, no
professional fire fighters . . . just some brave volunteers with primitive shovels, a few dozen wet gunny sacks to beat down the flames & a healthy fear of
God Almighty if they had that much. The idea that wild fire seasons are the worst on record, or that this latest "big" fire is the largest in California history is so utterly laughable, if they didn't want everyone to really believe such outrageous, & provable lies, you would think it was a joke too. Hell, on the day of the Great Chicago Fire, when virtually the entire thing burned to the ground in a single night, in the late 1800's, that was only the 2nd, or 3rd largest fire in the country ... ON THAT SAME DAY. When the Spanish first laid eyes on California they remarked that the entire length, & bredth of this vast new land was shrouded in smoke from one end to the other, because indians had to light the entire delta on fire every year just to have some chance at hunting the ducks, & geese that have migrated through that region many 10's of 1,000's of years before the first Native Americans turned up. The so called natural environment in California where I'm from, was in fact a far more artificial, man made environment than the tenement districts of
New York City, because the Native Americans had at least 10,000 consecutive fire seasons to carefully select which species would survive, which species would be burned every few years, & which species would die out, by planned, controlled burns deliberately set under proper weather conditions, at the best time of the year for such fires, to keep them under control. A forrest that did not have a natural, lightning strike fire burn through the undergrowth, fallen trees, dropped branches, & pine
needles became a food desert that was literally impossible to enter, & far too dangerous to even spend the night near it's edge. No hunting of anykind was even possible, no gathering of roots, berrirs, or birds eggs. Those overgrown "natural" forrests were impenetrible
jungles that sapped what energy you might have, providing no access to anything edible to sustain even a lone warrior. They had to set the forrests on fire within 5 years of the last fire, so that just the underbrush, the dead trees, & other flamable fuel sources would provide nutrients for the fresh growth that surely would follow in the spring. The fires moved so rapidly, with limited fuel loads, the mature standing trees, & hardy vegetation would withstand the brief bout of flames, & not have flames reach the the lowest limbs, or the canopy. The second, or third year after a cleanisng brush fire, forrests were the most productive, most accessable, & the safest from deadly fires. ... why bother with the facts. The peak fire season for virtually every western state in the US, for acerage burned in wild fires was sometime in the 1960's, & that's only because the US Forrest Service is a relatively new agency, unlike the Treasury, Defense, or State Departments that date back to the founding. Not that the older records of truely stagering fire seasons, in the 1930's {the warmest decade in US history by far, easily 20% warmer consistantly than any of the so called "hottest year on record" BS they trumpet almost without fail, year after year, after year, one lie stacked atop the next, with more lies placed on those easily debunked claims. The infamous "dust bowl" & deadly drought that ravaged much of the midwest, & the great plains for several years in a row, driving millions of farmers off the land buried up to 2, & 3 feet in descicated, lifeless, windblown top soil that was whisked away from another farmers land 2 states away. One dust storm that originated in the west Texas plains was between 1/2 mile, & 1 mile into the sky, & the prevailing winds took that massive wall of top soil ripped from the farms of 1,000''s, if not tens of 1,000's of farmers, & ranchers in Oklahoma, & Texas, carrying it eastward over the mighty Mississippi river. The next day that same dust storm turned day into night in Washington DC, dumping all of that priceless top soil somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean. To this day the record all time high temperatures in most cities, & town s in the US occured sometime in the 1930's, as do records for the most days over 90°, & most days over 100°, & most consecutive days without measurable rain fall, not to mention the world's record all time high temperature for planet earth Death Valley, California 133° F, 1934. It saddened me to watch my Governor lie right in the face of President Trump, telling him California had set a new record high temprature, in front of dozens of reporters , & news cameras, & not one of those journalists called out that blatant falsehood that most boys in this country used to learn on their own, by simply reading through the Guinnis Book of
World Records when we were 8, or 9 years old.. The US Forrest Service recently scrubbed their official web site of all fire season records, for total acres burned, that occured prior to 1989. They have all that data, by state, by year, by month, western US, eastern US, continental US, annual totals, you name it,
dating back to the founding of the US Forrest Service around the turn of the century. You can learn a lot from a data set covering 125 time span, especially if wild fires, acres burned, lives lost each year, acres of timber land burned, acres of range land burned, acres of wilderness land burned, acres of private land burned US Forrest service land burned, acres of State Forrest land burned . . . the government can
always break the numbers down
8 ways from Sunday . . . which is a good thing. But why would the Obama administrstion decide to quietly, without notice, debate, or any reasonable explanation deliberately conceal 3/4, 80%, or more of the official acres burned each annual fire season before a purely arbitrary, {read: cherry picked, abnormally good fire seasons, with unusually low acres burned totals, make simply returning to average fire seasons, or even slightly below average fire seasons, look like dramatic increases in acres date
Don't pronounce the spaces...
do you really think we will get to 2050 ?
