Global Warming: One Crisis to Rule Them All

It’s not rocket science, it’s simple physical science: dig up & burn sequestered carbon (coal oil gas) = add 50% more CO2 = Warmer. Duh. Bring facts or blocked.

I know many families, including relatives, that have 6-10 kids, all of whom are wonderful people.

I am one of 6 kids.

Yet I can’t think of anything more selfish or shortsighted than having more than 2 kids.

Every problem we have is caused or magnified by: too many humans.

@Orangejoe82 @billmaher who tells kids they are racist by proxy? I learned about slavery and first American genocide (and environmental degradation etc, you know, HISTORY)and felt sadness and an urge to not repeat these tragedies, not guilt.

[Global Warming: One Crisis to Rule Them All @bajakeweenaw]

@billmaher You misspelled Republican Bill. Or is it common sense to attempt a coup, suppress votes, mandate forced birth, and deny facts and science (global warming, vaccines)? This is both-sides-ism on steroids.

Happy 2023 everyone. "Electrify Everything" is the world's NY Resolution, along with "Get all Electricity from Wind, Solar, Hydro" (100% by 2035). Note-- even if the energy comes from fossil fuel power plants, it's still better than small on-site engines (for car, mower, etc).

@AukeHoekstra Hotter oceans and air = stronger wetter (and possibly larger and slower) storms is a true statement.

[Global Warming: One Crisis to Rule Them All @bajakeweenaw]

@DzambhalaHODL @b_crane1 @AukeHoekstra @JigarShahDC If only... I think most fact-based/ scientific types do deal in truth and facts; we aren't the problem/barrier.

[Global Warming: One Crisis to Rule Them All @bajakeweenaw]

@AlexanderKurucz @AukeHoekstra huh? the 50% increase in atmospheric CO2 since ~1750 is not a political problem, it's a physical fact that is causing global warming. Nuclear was the go-to solution in 1970, now wind and solar and batteries (all more efficient and less costly every year) are the answer.

Biggest Loser (Whiner). Will the R fever break, finally? I've never understood the attraction, maybe getting beat over the head with loss after loss will wake people up?? First time incumbent Prez has not lost a single Senator in a mid term since... 1934!

@CarbonActionNow google Cook Inlet Belugas, lots of current research, population declining and range shrinking, losing matriarchs = losing cultural knowledge

@Anvndarnamn5 At some point I suppose we just let these Darwin Award contestants just remove themselves from the gene pool.

[Global Warming: One Crisis to Rule Them All @bajakeweenaw]

@luisbaram yes there were ice ages in the past - does not disprove global warming... in fact the "ice age 180ppm / warm interglacial 280 ppm" pattern was "stable" for 4+ million years, until we dug up long sequestered carbon (coal oil gas) and added CO2 to the atmosphere. Now 420 = warming.

[Global Warming: One Crisis to Rule Them All @bajakeweenaw]

@luisbaram it appears you lack basic understanding... a few thousand years ago (ice age) CO2 was around 180pmm. During warm interglacials CO2 was around 280 ppm. Natural stable cycle. Now CO2 is around 420ppm *purely due to adding carbon by burning fossil fuels* = warming (duh).

@BohemianHarpy @nhannahjones where did it say that ONLY DRAG QUEENS are involved in children's education? I guess I missed that part...

[Global Warming: One Crisis to Rule Them All @bajakeweenaw]

@DarcyWAHF @nhannahjones It's not either-or.

[Global Warming: One Crisis to Rule Them All @bajakeweenaw]

@BellaLucyBee @nhannahjones It's not either-or. This reminds me of the person pulled over for speeding telling the cop "why don't you go arrest a REAL criminal?". Are we not capable of showing understanding if not compassion to both (all)?

[Martin Tye @martinrev21]

In my view #population growth is an ecologically devastating tool used by neo-liberal economics to drive the short sighted, poorly defined concept of "growth" to which they've attached their business plans.

I know of no other org. so committed to calling it out.

[Global Warming: One Crisis to Rule Them All @bajakeweenaw]

@Eclectic627 This isn't opinion or rocket science, it's simple quantifiable physical science, predictable (and predicted), with projections from 30+ years ago tracking quite accurately with actual measurements, and predictions from 100+ years ago being supported with real world data.

[Global Warming: One Crisis to Rule Them All @bajakeweenaw]

@Eclectic627 What part of "CO2 cycled between ~180ppm (ice age) and ~280ppm (warm interglacial) for 4+ million years until ~1750, when humans started to dig up and burn long-sequestered fossil carbon fuels (coal oil gas) and adding "new" carbon, resulting in CO2 at 420ppm = warming"?

[Global Warming: One Crisis to Rule Them All @bajakeweenaw]

@RonFilipkowski And why might they not "trust the system"? Hmm, could it be that Kirk and his ilk have spent the last 6+ years seeding doubt? What a bunch of sore losers.
