I wonder if these climate people have the foggiest fucking idea about actually winning an argument. How the fuck is it going to play out when there's still a fucking Gulf Stream in 2026?

It might fucking happen mid-century, it might happen after 2025......OR MAYBE IT WON'T FUCKING HAPPEN AT ALL?
Welcome to the 2021 media hype machine.
Greenhouse gases exist.
The Greenhouse Effect exists.
That's all you really need.

Every single one of these fucking sensationalized headline predictions is counterproductive as fuck. You want to help climate change? Shoot everyone involved with this story and their offspring in the fucking head, thereby decreasing greenhouse gas emissions as a consequence of their human activity.

:foreheadslap:
You want to help climate change? Wean the world (especially China) off of coal. That's the single best thing we could do, by far.

Cool. Then there’s no justification to implement any of it.

And my ilk? You mean former eco-warrior member of ELF who now makes a living protecting the air we breathe and water we drink by preventing pollution?

While I’m working outside in 105 degree heat today you’ll be chilling out in an air conditioned building thinking unjustifiably highly of yourself.
Back to your delusional sainthood, huh. You post this yet argue against any new less polluting tech besides Nuke, I think. Such a hard working guy posts non stop 9 to 5.

When have I ever argued against using less polluting tech?

I post while driving. I’m on the 405.

^ - You have any idea who planted the bomb in Judy's car? Seemed odd to me that someone transporting a bomb by car would utilize a motion sensor activated timer.

West of the Atlantic. East of the ICW.
His house I want purchased by a Bennie who decorates exclusively in photos/lithographs etc. of Eric Lindros in Rangers gear and Eli Manning.
None of that makes sense to me. We don't have Bennies where I live. We have Shoobies here. Where hal9000 and mundus live is where they have Bennies. Those guys root for New York sports franchises while down here we are in the Philadelphia market. I'm not much of a pro sports fan so could care less about the sports references. If I ever sell my house I will be laughing my way to the bank.

Why does the left go straight to the things that SCIENCE gives extremely remote chances of even partially happening and headline the fuck out of it.

If you look at the weights IPCC bedwetting scale everything shitheads like John Kerry and Al Gore say are weighted as nearly impossible...but the draw to panic porn is too much to avoid.
Maybe because the right thinks the earth is flat, Covid is a cold, and trump loves them.

Yes, I understand all that. I want Bennies where you live. To enforce the superiority of North Jersey's cultural inclinations over those of Filthysmellphia.

I want Benntrification of South Jersey. I want the Phillies, the Flyers, the Eagles, and the 76ers to get demoted to the minor leagues of their respective sports, like promotion/relegation in Euro soccer.

I want people like me from Passaic County in your Piney hole listening to Mike Francesca on WFAN loud enough for people walking their dogs on the street to hear. I want randos at bars, restaurants, and barber shops to be expected to stand, or get vibed, when Aaron Judge walks from the on-deck circle to the batter's box.

I want breakfast establishments to stop serving scrapple. I want a horrendous New York Jew accent to ask a server "What is scrapple?" and before the server can even respond, I want someone straight out of Yonkers to butt in and say "Don't ask; I'm not Jewish and you still couldn't pay me to eat it."

I want everyone who has ever ordered a sandwich that has Cheese Whiz on it to be executed by being shoved feet first into a pencil sharpener.

Try it. You’ll thank me.
No, I really won't. The hood keeps me from feeling like I'm going to pass out when I duck dive once the water is under 50. It appears to have some usefulness if the wind chill is in the teens or lower.

My feet spend the most time in the water. Booties first. My hands spend the second most time in the water. Gloves second. My dome spends the least time under water. Hood third. Plus that damn thing throws my equilibrium off.

Say hello to Mr. Drill Bit in the ear if you don’t wear a hood in cold water. I know him well. :toilet:

15 sessions in water 51 or colder in a year is a lot, and I don't need it, or the gloves, every year. Hood is unheard of in December or April.

52-53 is normal in a cold winter; it's not normal for the water to stay colder than that for more than a few weeks.

Fewer people surfing? :love:

The cold water makes the ears grow ear plugs. The sun makes the skin grow cancer. The only terminally cloudy yet warm place I've come up with is possibly the Pacific side of Western Panama might have enough mountains right down to the coast to be overcast and over 66.

Was down to visit my old man last weekend, the amount of growth there is unbelievable, could not a fit another person if they tried.
