Civilization Depends On A Stable Climate

What’s the Eurasian Step? Is that a dance?

Perhaps you mean the steppe.

"Elizabeth Kolbert, “climate journalist” . . ."

Um, did that appellation used to be "Elizabeth Kolbert, “girl journalist”?

Sorry I missed her explanation of the global warming on Mars. Caused by too much gasbag activity on Earth?

[Fitzcarraldo]

Let’s create a “stable climate tax”. /sarc

[Little Bill]

I abase myself. Covering my head in shame at a spelling error.

[GingisK]

Civilization depends on a stable climate.

It is far more dependent upon decent leadership. I don't think we have any hope.

I could handle paleolithic babes like this:

[verum ago]

the author is proof that some Neanderthals have survived to this day.

that, sir, is a libelous disservice to the reputation of the Neanderthal

[HighWheeler]

Hey John Krist you buffoonish clown, explain to me who was driving SUVs, operating electrical power plants, etc., and "destabilizing" our climate 130,000 years ago during the last large global warming period.

[TBP]

More BS from this bunch of mint cherries.

[raygun]

I don't have so much issues with the quote that you cited.

From the article cited:

About 150 years ago, modern humans began unintentionally tinkering with the climate system, setting in motion a trend toward warmer temperatures - higher than any in the experience of our species - that threatens to end this period of stability.

This is an assertation. Everything that follows is of non-consequence.

"An organism that depends on stability, but produces instability, can only survive for so long."

Without doubt the author has never heard of the truism that correlation does not establish causation.

Quite frankly, I could have abusive fun with that person and they'd probably willingly check into rehab after our "discussion". Without doubt, I'm certain I'd be picked up as being a threat to the State for throwing uncouched ideas around "willy-nilly and akin to discharge of a firearm within a crowd that causes no physical harm."

Quite frankly it matters not if the person ended up a blubbering idiot that knew not what reality was, or if they were convinced that I'd taken an extract out of my AID's infected veins and shot them full of my AID's jiz. That I don't have AID's is irrelevent and immaterial, and incidentally not even germane. Making somebody feel bad, or lose direction, focus and perspective is a capital offenze.

Without doubt I certain to come to a bad end.

Anyways, I'm guessing that other than the author's emotional quackary, nothing else really matters. I'd like to see this person and a Flat Earther get it on.

Wait.

Scratch that...

Elizabeth Kolbert looks like the stereotypical lib woman: No smile, androgynous face, and a Haircut by Hatchet. She puts earrings on both ears so people will think she's a woman.

[glorgau]

It is entirely plausible that until then, human populations were forced to move so frequently to follow climate-driven shifts in food and water supplies that they could not develop social and technological systems requiring permanence.

How about: they had no need since population wasn't dense enough to require intensive cultivation?

[Ieatfrijoles]

Was Nova in Planet of the Apes post-paleolithic? Anyway, I hope she’s saving herself for me in the future.

Thanks Blam.

Interesting that thirty years ago, the conventional wisdom had it that we were about to enter a new ice age. All is this is based on computer models, not the accumulation of data.

[brytlea]

I remember the coming ice age! Oops...I guess I just let the cat out of the bag....I’m old! hehehe

[RobbyS]

The ZPG crowd has a new rationalize forreducung the number of humans. Then it was that people would eat up all the available food and starve. Now it is that they eat too much,

[brytlea]

They just hate people.

[FastCoyote]

It’s a moronic conclusion. If ice ages are what drove humans to continual migrations, then human induced global warming would be a GOOD thing.

[Max in Utah]

They just hate people.

Yep. Because they hate themselves, they extend that hatred to their entire species. The most extreme example is this:

The Voluntary Human Extinction Movement - "May we live long and die out"
