Precisely…they preach what they refuse to live by themselves.

most liberal support fair trade.

I bet if I go through your home I will find about half that ■■■■ you own you don’t use…and it’s all made in China.

[conan]

Refusing to take any responsibility while demanding others to take em.

That’s what I see.

Man was not the cause for previous mass global extinction events because we weren’t around and other factors caused them. No one has given me a definitive answer of why the mass extinctions have been happening in this period.

Destruction of habitat.

DEFINITIVE answer? There is none. Nor any single one. But habitat destruction is pernicious.

[Orygun]

@Guvnah

Destruction of habitat.

By who?

[GWH]

Wrong again. I don’t think Bruce Willis was in deep impact. It was The Fifth Element.

[SixFoot]

Deep Impact was with Frodo Baggins.

Nah- he was in Armageddon- the “I’m a hero- gonna give up my life to do a suicide mission dropping a nuke into the center of a meteor” movie.

@SixFoot

Deep Impact was with Frodo Baggins.

Those two directors must have hated each other cuz Armageddon and Deep Impact came out at almost the same time.

[GWH]

Bruce Willis was in Armageddon, that is correct. Not in Deep Impact, but both flicks are wrong when commenting on the meme with Debo from Friday saying “There’s a giant ball of fire headed straight for erf.” That’s from the movie The Fifth Element.

@Orygun

By who?

Rhesus monkeys.

We’re razing the Amazon and other rain forests at an alarming rate. (And you might want to consider the impact on CO2 absorption THIS has!) There are companies out there that would raze the Galapagos Islands for a banana plantation if they could.

The way you’re trying to introduce species extinction in this thread, it appears you are trying to pin it on global warming. It’s an asserted connection you’ll need to support better.

[SixFoot]

99% of the oxygen produced in the Amazon is used up within the Amazon.

Oceanic algae and cyanobacteria produce 80% of the atmospheric oxygen we breath.

[GWH]

Bananas will be extinct due to genetics in 20 years anyway.

@Orygun

Anyways I wasn’t expecting a real answer because denialism must be protected at all costs.

Ironic…

[Guilds]

@GWH

California, but whatevs.

…on federal land.

But I will concur, the management of forests regarding fires was done wrong, for a long time…and not necessarily by environmentalists.

Good news, we are learning, and we are doing a much better job now.

@Orygun

Just checking- if a meteor was hurtling towards Earth- would you be this blasé about it?

Well, considering we have no technology that will stop said meteor hurtling toward earth. I’d start making peace with my God . . . because well, no way of stopping it. Maybe in a few hundred years we will be able to . . . . So we need people like Musk, Bezons, and Sir Richard to keep coming up with space tech.

@Orygun

No - its anthropogenic. But its been like pulling teeth to get conservatives to even acknowledge global warming at all. I have noticed cons mostly conceding that point in the last decade.

I’m conseriative. I admit global warming. As I’ve posted the earth has had regular cycles of Glacial cold periods, and interglacial hot periods. Record has show they are not consistant in how hot/cold they are. Colds have remained relatively consistant when y ou look at the 1 million year record. However the hot periods have continually gotten hotter. We are STILL in the interglacial warming period. So yes, global warming is occuring. At some point, the natural tipping point will occure and the earth will head back into a glacial ice age . . . and man will be able to do nothing to stop it.

@Jezcoe

Well good to know that there is nothing that we can do.

Won’t change behavior.
Won’t build any infrastructure.
Maybe rain dance some?

@komobu

If you can do nothing about it, Why did you put Biden in there?

The question should be what will YOU do about it? The congress said we only had 12 years left 4 years ago. Now you have your Dem President, along with a dem house and a dem senate. So what will you do about it?

We want action! We want solutions! Institute something that works. The more painful the better!

I agree, remove the filibuster.

@GWH

Sorry, missed the news report of large swaths of people dying due to global warming. I do see a continued increase, though.

Sorry, you’ve incorrectly limited the definition of mass extinction to the human species.

The Earth's Sixth Mass Extinction Is Accelerating

It was a fun month for me as a teenager. I’ve always loved the idea of an apocalypse adventure.

And we need to colonize other worlds/moons. A species that stays on one planet, goes extinct on one planet.
