Circlejerks that get old

[A Cardboard Box]

Bullshit.
The planet is greening as increased CO2 causes plants to use LESS water for growth.
There's no way you can rationally argue that warmer temps. equal less precipitation.
For christs sake the Antarctic is classified as a desert because it's too COLD for snowfall.

Stop repeating exceptional predictions as if they are reality.

The demarcation line for "continental temperate" and "continental arid" has been steadily moving towards the Mississippi for a decade now. Again, it's already happening. The Midwest is already drying up. Also rainforests are self sustaining until they aren't. Soon the Amazon won't be big enough to generate enough precipitation to sustain itself and it will whither away into a desert over 50 years.

I hope I'm wrong and I hope you're right, but things keep getting worse with no relief in sight.

lol fuck the environment

 

[NIGGER ASS PEE POOPY RAPE]

the worst that could result from global warming is all the africans, australians, south americans burning to death, and all the coastal cities and florida men drowning. why is that a bad thing again?

The demarcation line is based on annual rainfall the actual planet is literally becoming more green.

Carbon Dioxide Fertilization Greening Earth, Study Finds

From a quarter to half of Earth’s vegetated lands has shown significant greening over the last 35 years largely due to rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide, according to a new study.

www.nasa.gov

Again, more heat equals more evaporation. More evaporation equals more rainfall.
This is actually IN the arguments of the doomsayers when they reference the fiction that storms are becoming more powerful and occur more often.
Then out of the other side of their mouths they argue as you do that desertification is increasing.

Get out of your retarded circlejerk and ignore Chicken Little, a century ago we barely had powered flight.
If you want to agitate for something, demand we stop spending a trillion a year on climate research and instead spend a trillion a year on high temperature superconductor research.

Redrawing the Map: How the World’s Climate Zones Are Shifting

Rising global temperatures are altering climatic zones around the planet, with consequences for food and water security, local economies, and public health. Here’s a stark look at some of the distinct features that are already on the move.

It can be both, dude. The temperate regions are getting drier, and as evaporation increases water vapor becomes a higher percentage of the atmospheric gasses. Water vapor is an INTENSE greenhouse gas. It's both. The places that are dry are getting drier.

they're not going to die they're going to massively flee to europe, the USA and anywhere else developed.

Except that the planet is greening.

Also I would point out that local weather doesn't equal 'anthropogenic climate change'. Your circlejerk predictions of weather patterns are bullshit.
"The temperate regions are getting drier " at the same time they are becoming MORE green.
You are lost.

damn the thread has gone full meta

fuck, that's probably a circlejerk in of itself

The word "meta" is inherently a circlejerk.

I want to kill myself.

the saddest realization about all the social media censorship that has divided the internet into circlejerks is that the heads of the corporations doing it probably don't even give a shit about politics, they're just doing it because their analytics show that SJWs are more likely to click ads.

What's sad is I always kinda knew the corporate sites like Facebook were going to ruin the internet, I just didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

The internet's golden age only lasted about a decade.

Human rights.
Like it's been more than 200 years now. People see their rights as certain as gravity while there are governments that just don't care.
Let's end the charade and let us all be honest and open about our discrimination, disdain and detachment we feel for others

Don't worry little buddy, it's gonna be fine.

The world ain't about to burn to a crisp:

We aren't running out of food:

The Amazon isn't about to disappear, it's been around for 55 million years of much more extreme global climate conditions than today, it's bigger than the continental United States, and even deforested areas quickly grow back:

Good news on rain forests: they bounce back strong, storing more carbon than thought

Forests that grow back after being cleared for agriculture or by logging grow back much faster than old-growth forests, soaking up carbon and providing vital habitat.

The Midwest isn't drying up, farmers in the High Plains are using too much water from the Ogallala aquifer, which "could" lead to it drying up in 50 years. Or 100 years. Or never. But let's take the most pessimistic estimate - it still won't dry up.

Why? Because it's not the 1930's anymore. Farming is a high-tech, multi-trillion dollar business, nobody wants another dust bowl, and we've seen the problems with aquifer depletion far ahead enough to do plenty about it.

Pretty much every apocalyptic scare story you've ever heard is just a story. There's a lot of stuff that could go wrong - wars, epidemics, supervolcanoes, Rian Johnson getting his own trilogy - but weather is something 21st century humans are really good at adapting to.

Everything's gonna be alright.
