Climate Change

[Fame]

Yay or nay?

I'm a yay guy but not a scientist. I live a semi-subsistence lifestyle and have noticed a dramatic change in the land and food available for harvest each year. It seems to only be getting worse for almost every type of food harvest plants, animals, and seafood. I'm just a human so this could just be part of a larger cycle that I am unaware of.

What do you think? Also, if ya feel like soapboxin, why?

I live pretty far inland from a major body of water, like several hours drive, and there are seals outside my winter abode on the shore of the river yapping all night. Local paper is saying the glacier they used to reside on has been melted away and they were washed up the river by the current formed from the melting icewater. I for one think the Employment Prevention Agency should do something about this before I lose my mind from lack of sleep.

Don't you see it MAN! It's all a big cover up MAN!

Climate change is a social construct.

I grew up learning about pollution being the problem. The interesting thing is that most things that lessen/eliminate the production of pollution also lessen/eliminate the release of hydrocarbons in the atmosphere.

Why didn't we just stick to that? Global warming won't kill you, literal poison does.

Carbon dioxide is an effective greenhouse gas. We, humans, have dumped a lot of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that wouldn't be present otherwise. Anthropologic climate change is a thing. How impactful is it? No clue.

let's do nothing until we know the exact position and origin of every greenhouse gas particle in the atmosphere

further study is needed

That's the crux of the problem, isn't it. We can all agree that our footprint is changing the climate, but how important is that to us and our agendas?

We can still club seals and hunt polar bears. No need to get all radical.
