I read somewhere online there were 6 million indians in 1800 and 9 million in 1900. If there are 50 million now, hard to yell, genocide.

now all over the place

Estimates range from a low of 2.1 million to a high of 18 million (Dobyns 1983). By 1800, the Native population of the present-day United States had declined to approximately 600,000, and only 250,000 Native Americans remained in the 1890s.

The population figure of indigenous peoples of the Americas before the 1492 voyage of Christopher Columbus has proven difficult to establish. Scholars rely on archaeological data and written records from European settlers. Most scholars writing at the end of the 19th century estimated that the pre-Columbian population was as low as 10 million; by the end of the 20th century most scholars gravitated to a middle estimate of around 50 million, with some historians arguing for an estimate of 100 million or more.[1] Contact with the Europeans led to the European colonization of the Americas, in which millions of immigrants from Europe eventually settled in the Americas. -—Wiki

The truth is we are still in an “Ice Age”- the Quaternary. A geologic time period characterized by cyclic transcontinental glaciations. The past 20 - some thousand years has been a warming lull with some cooling “bumps” like the “The Little Ice Age”. There is no physical evidence (computer simulations don’t count!) that the current geologic age the Quaternary has ended. All of this is governed by the sun, the Milankovitch cycles (variations in the Earth’s orbit, tilt, etc.) with contributions from varying intensity in cosmic rays as we travel around the galactic rim. The likelier scenario is its going to get cold, likeliest is a repeat of something like the 400 - 500 year Little Ice Age (roughly 1300 - 1850 +- 100 years) . Nobody knows exactly when this will happen but cold kills, warm doesn’t. Leave it to Democrats to get it wrong but not just wrong, but potentially catastrophically wrong!

Of couse, the fact that infrared radiation does not penetrate more than a milimeter or two into water has nuthin to do with nuthin

You would be correct. 2015 to be exact.

Writers write, talkers talk, if nobody reads or listens they are out of a job. What a lousy job.

I think they should all go kill themselves. This is worrying them to death. They have no quality of life. It is time for them to end it all.

These crazy people believe these things.

There weren’t 50 million people to kill even if they wanted to.

The leftists have zero idea about math, amounts, history, logic.

It’s very scary.

“Of couse, the fact that infrared radiation does not penetrate more than a milimeter or two into water has nuthin to do with nuthin”

Yes, long wave radiation, LWR, the heat that is allegedly ‘trapped by Co2’, does NOT warm the oceans, which cover 70% of the planet. It does, as you say warms about one mm of the ocean surface which evaporates and hence cools the ocean.

OTOH, the sun’s radiation, penetrates the oceans to 100 meters.

But most people like this expert “author” don’t know ANY of this, they only KNOW that “global warming is real and we HAVE to do something.”

Pavlov-dog-brain-washed to the core because they’re rewarded every time they repeat the mantra.

Sea-level rise threatens countless species, coastal cities, and local economies.

They never say what this sea level rise is and the rate of in crease.

It would be funny to set up a "Kool the Earf with Kool Aid" stand in NYC and see how many true believers will drink the Kool Aid to stop climate change. Include a creepy Jim Jones lookalike with sunglasses. Most leftists don't know history and wouldn't have a clue.
