Good, no more libs.
Great news!
Now I’ll just start buying stuff - cars, vacations, homes - on credit. The world will end before I have to pay off.
Relying on a fossil here and a fossil there....hardly the basis for a real number.
Dear oh Mighty Scientists....Please list the names and descriptions of the 96% of ocean critters that went extinct and documentation of their location.
Warming? We’ve already had single digit temperatures, with below zero wind chill. We’ve had snow several times. The first snowfall in early November brought 7-8 inches. My car is covered in a light dusting since yesterday. I live in Central NY State. Today’s temperature is 30...windchill 22. Overnight temps in the teens. I wouldn’t mind some global warming right about now.
Well, things sure were a lot different during the period of the Permian Extinction. Note how all the earth's landmasses were jammed together. I'm not an expert, but the conditions for life were a lot different then. Things that we take for granted that affect our general climate -- like the Gulf Stream that is so important in moderating European winters -- couldn't have existed then because, heck, there wasn't a Caribbean Sea.
If the warming took place over 3,000 years, then on land and in the oceans, animals who were mobile would move north or south to get cooler.
The one (and only) good thing about a NYT article on science is that virtually anyone with above room temp IQ (which eliminates a good many Democrat representatives) can easily refute the article with no effort whatsoever.
Gads, it’s sooooooo wonderful when a mere journalist attempts to write on the one subject he/she/it/whatever avoided like the plague even in elementary school.
“May”. “If so”. Yeah, let’s panic and enact a tax.
This guy is desperate so make sure his grant money keeps flowing.
I read some study last year that said if all of the wealth of the world was pooled together to fight climate change, the result would be an almost imperceptible change in the earth's temperature.
IOW, we can't throw enough money at this issue to make a difference.
If some catastrophic extinction event were to occur, we'd all be thumbing a ride down the same burnt-up highway anyway. Or dead.
All I know is we'd better REPENT!. The end of the world is nigh!
So many of the variables that contribute to the climate of the earth, not least of which is its geologic arrangement & landscape, were not the same contextually in, during or at the end of the Permian period, and therefor neither “warming” nor what came from it consequentially then, can be claimed as a barometer of what may result from any warming that may develop now.
Its a typical “science” attempt to make orange juice from apples.
And how many of the "Climate scientists" have undergrads in stuff like Political Science, Sociology, or the various Victim Studies fields?
These people are just loads of fun to talk to. Ask them to explain the water cycle as taught to a third-grade or fourth-grade science class. They can't.
250 millions years ago the Earth’s seven continents were all grouped together into a super continent called Pangea.
There was a lot less wave action to
introduce oxygen into the water, and ocean
currents move the oxygen.
Currents in this ocean would have been simple and slow, and Earth’s climate was, in all likelihood, warmer than today.
Airheads. Global warming robbed the oceans of Oxygen ? You mean like splitting the H2O molecule ? Cool man. You seem to have forgotten the gas part dude.
YEAH, AND THROWING OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY AT IT IS NOT GOING TO DO A DAMN THING.
It makes no sense that high levels of CO2 and heat reduced oxygen levels. Both those conditions lead to the enhanced growth of plants and plankton which would increase oxygen production. An exception would be if there was so much dust and soot in the air from the volcanic activity that it blocked the light the plants needed to grow.
All without one single person in sight.
