But room temperature will be higher (or lower)! How dare you!

Nature is not static...has NEVER been static.

Studies have shown that the AMOC and other ocean circulation patterns have varied over long timescales, including centuries. These variations can be influenced by natural factors such as volcanic eruptions, solar radiation changes, and shifts in the Earth’s orbit (Milankovitch cycles). Additionally, feedback mechanisms within the climate system can amplify or dampen these changes.

But we can stop this from happening. If we change the tilt of the earth and block a portion of the sun.

Oh GWD, more crap!

[Mr. K]

They forgot to mention how it’s Trump’s fault

“How much grant money is needed to further measure and possibly fix the problem? /$”

All of it.

That goes without saying. The farts from the cows who became hamburgers that he eats alone have melted at least one iceberg.

I am envisioning a stream going down the slope, when a large body of water is introduced as a flow into the small stream, and the stream stops flowing. This is what they are proposing is going to happen when the ice melts (oh no!)

[beethovenfan]

Or not. I suspect not.

[butlerweave]

so everyone go to the Atlantic and start creating a new current Oh and bring a paddle ? LOL

[old curmudgeon]

Don’t worry.

The sky will fall before then and you will not be here to freeze.

[Toddsterpatriot]

Quick, throw in some more windmills!

I made this graphic some years ago from the Livermore Lab breakdown of our energy sources and usages, I thought you might find it interesting!

This is the un-altered one I got from Livermore Labs:

This is the one I altered to show the stupidity of the people pushing for a ban on incandescent light bulbs:

[old curmudgeon]

You beat me!

[beethovenfan]

I’m at my tippling point.

[crusty old prospector]

Yawn. Wake me up when they get their grant money.

[Eleutheria5]

Get the Dutch on it. They’re very industrious. Any time you got a hole in a dyke (not the human kind), they’re the ones to stick a finger in.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Don’t tell me! Let me guess. Global Warming collapsed the Titan on its way to the Titanic.

[2nd Amendment]

Can Biden stop this? Apparently he is going to block the sun to alleviate global warming
