Could release flying pizzas too...
Give me global warming.
I’m still trying to figure out the downside of warmer temperatures, longer growing seasons, lower heating costs, and flooded out leftist hell hole cities.
But if everyone wears masks, we will be protected.
“The propaganda is strong in that one.”
The sun will do what it will.
Don’t forget the Ted Danson Doomsday Calendar giving us 10 years to live back in 1990. I remember Rush making a whole load of fun about it.
The sun won’t do much when the arctic doesn’t see it for about half the year and when it does, it’s angle of incidence is so low that it never gets to a decent amount of insolation.
The heat from the sun is just too spread out and diffused through too much atmosphere that far north to have a lot of impact on the permafrost.
How far towards the equator was the permafrost in the last ice age? It seems like the melting brought forth centuries of prosperity and enlightenment.
Doesn’t anyone think there is positive things happening in the world? I guess only negative.
Eskimos have been digging around in
this stuff for generations. As have
paleontologists and archeologists.
Have any died of new-found viruses
or bacteria born illnesses? If they
had, the climate change crowd would
have trumpeted the news supporting
their cause. What a bunch of hooey.
I doubt that it could be any more of a danger then the national Institute of health doing gain of function research.
At the Last Glacial Maximum, continuous permafrost covered a much greater area than it does today, covering all of ice-free Europe south to about Szeged (southeastern Hungary) and the Sea of Azov (then dry land)[45] and East Asia south to present-day Changchun and Abashiri.[46] In North America, only an extremely narrow belt of permafrost existed south of ithe ice sheet at about the latitude of New Jersey through southern Iowa and northern Missouri, but permafrost was more extensive in the drier western regions where it extended to the southern border of Idaho and Oregon.
Gold miners have been cutting through permafrost with steam hoses for over 100 years.
One how did all that frozen nuclear waste and abandoned nuclear submarine reactors get up under the Artic permafrost in the first place?
Just wait until they come across the massive deposits of frozen used chewing and bubble gum. We’re really gonna be stuck then. Not to mention all those abandoned aluminium trays from used TV dinners. Most insidious of all is the 127 billion tons of discarded filled S&H Green Stamp book, abandoned 1950s gas station give away items, the Air Force’s frozen nerve gas bombs, and the mountain of Edward R. Murrow’s cigarette butts.
“I’m still trying to figure out the downside of warmer temperatures ...”
Me too. And permafrost thaw would produce more plant life which would eat CO2.
I can think of one. The leftists inhabiting those hell holes will migrate. Maybe to a locality near you.
Freegards!
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary.

They already are.

What I find curious is that the terms, "warmer," and, "cooler," are relative terms that imply an established baseline. Things can only be, "warmer," if compared to something, "cooler," and vice versa. The verbiage is easily manipulated. If one provides a baseline, "warmer and cooler," are objective terms; however, used without an established standard they are (highly) subjective terms and easily employed as part of an informal fallacy.
I have shut down every discussion, argument, debate about, "climate change," I've ever engaged in by asking what the, "ideal," average global temperature should be. If a person was given total, omnipotent control of the earth's thermostat, where should it be set? 65 deg.? 68? 72? If we are going to mobilize all of mankind, governments of every nation and global finance and industry to lower earth's temperature, shouldn't there be a target temperature we are trying to achieve? What is that temperature?
People are swept up in the emotion-driven prattle and agitprop that we are getting, "too warm," without ever stopping to think about what that actually could mean.
“I swear, they sit up nights dreaming up new ways to cry wolf.”
You’re probably right, but this one isn’t new. It gets recycled every few years and has been for I would guess about 40 or 50. I think the radioactive thing might be new, though, so I’ll give them credit for that.
The fact that no one will admit is that the current drought affecting the California desert is the normal condition.
The recent past (60 years?) is anomaly
