| fatslob-:O said: 1. Then it's their problem to deal with, not mine. As far as more storms go though ... Hurricanes are actually less frequent ... http://www1.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/cmb/images/tornado/clim/EF1-EF5.png There's hardly any relationship between warming and tornadoes ... Droughts are not getting worse like the alarmists claimed when they don't understand that water gets conserved so it's practically redistributed ... I would discard the claim of food shortages getting more prevalent in the future when most predictions are at least two decades away ... 2. We shouldn't bother on the account that it would hurt a lof of us economically speaking. Throwing out a relatively new car just so you can appeal to your inner snob by purchasing an electric car to save the evironment just shows how much of a foolish they are. You pretty much have to give up your heating system since it's ultimately either powered by coal or gas ... 3. 5 years really isn't short, that's about 5% of our lives. We really don't know if electric cars will get cheap enough either ... |
1. Oh, you actually don't give a shit about what happens after you die..alright...Anyways! Stronger and more aren't the same thing. "In 2005, he showed that Atlantic hurricanes are about 60 percent more powerful than they were in the 1970s. Storms lasted longer and their top wind speeds had increased by 25 percent. " Storms are stronger than they used to be.
Oh, and for the bold part: Duh. All water is conserved. All matter is conserved. But where it's distributed is key. If you live in a place that stops getting water, it doesn't matter if somewhere else is getting more rain.
2. Care to share a source saying that making changes to have a smaller effect on the enviornment would hurt the economy? Oh, and Americans at least, have just started holding on to their cars for a long time. It wasn't long ago that the average person replaced their car every 4 years anyways. Did you even read your source for the heating thing? First off, it talks about cooling your house, not heating it. Secondly, cooling systems only require electricity. So, just find a cleaner way to create electricity (hint: Solar power http://www.forbes.com/sites/paulrodgers/2014/09/30/the-rise-of-solar/#e9fb89f1b9ab).
3. Yes, it is. In the car world, 5 years is pretty much as short as a itteration is ever going to be. The current Ford Focus EV has an MSRP that is lower than the average price of a new car in the U.S. even before incentives.
Oh, and check your sources for gods sake.
1. James Taylor is a lawyer who works at a liberitarian think tank, not a scientist. He studied atmostpheric science while in college, but holds no degree and has to experience in any climate related field. He's no more qualified to speak on the subject in a professional sense than I am.
2. The Daily Caller article is written by a right wing website about a paper that a right wing think tank published that was authoured by an accountant who's closest relationship to climate science is a chemisty degree.
Mind you, neither of these sources would be issues if they were mearly reporting news. But they aren't. They are writting pieces that make arguments about a scientific field that they have no expertise in.
Bet with Adamblaziken:
I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.
