We (humans) didn’t start global warming, but we absolutely have contributed to it. We most certainly have done nothing to hold it back. |

Oh, the answer to your question is, combined with other human "contributions", @ .07 degrees C. |

I know next to nothing about coral reefs so I did a quick search on 'coral reef thriving'. Articles abound of areas where reefs are thriving.
Fear mongering to promote a hidden agenda? Oh, sorry, We all know that never happens...... |
Quote:
Facts: Large areas of coral reefs have died off;; large areas are now again covered by coral. Nearly everything beyond that is just some conclusion drawn from two data points. No investigation into why the coral died. Not investigation into what changed that the coral can now recover. No data on whether the coral that has recovered is substantially the same as what was lost. A lightning strike causes a fire that destroys hundreds of acres of old-growth forest. Twenty years later the area is covered with healthy pines. Since the area is again covered with trees does that prove that lightning doesn't destroy forests? Can we say there were trees before and there are trees now so nothing really happened, the trees just changed their clothes? Science just isn't that simple. |
It's a shame that underwater volcanoes erupt and warm the oceans so much. Too bad man can't control volcanoes like they control the climate..............:1rotfl:

In (another) stroke of brilliance, when Ailes created FOX NEWS he made sure it was on cable-only (not to be confused with FOX Entertainment which airs locally and has the Simpsons, etc.) so FOX NEWS is NOT constrained by the FCC and the Frankfurter (SCOTUS 1943) ruling that allow the federal government to meddle in on-air stations operations. Frankfurter--“This ruling cleared the way for the FCC to regulate networks indirectly by banning licenses to individual stations that contract with networks engaged in practices considered detrimental to the public interest.“ FOX NEWS is free of the FCC public interest requirements that apply to NBC, ABC, CBS, etc. – the on-air entities. He knew (even back then) that cable was the future. He was a visionary. If you notice on-air talent reports “others are saying” and quote/echo “other” sources. Ailes freed them from the burden to investigate on his dime. Smart man. He was a businessman to the core. There are five major recognized journalism awards. FOX NEWS has never won an Emmy, Edward R. Murrow, DuPont/Columbia, Peabody or Pulitzer. MTV and Nickelodeon have one each. Roger did not care on bit. He didn’t need them. Why fight for viewers with three other networks (forget CNN—they were newcomers) when you can groom your own loyal audience? He is comparable to Elon Musk who had the vision, the courage and the money to step up while NASA and Boeing were failing to fill the need. FOX is commentary/opinion—they do not purport to report news (see Dominion Voting defense) . He packed the programming/commentary with Glen Beck, Megan Kelly, Bill O’Reilly, Gretchen Carlson, Chris Wallace, Jeanine Pirro, Ed Henry, Tucker Carlson, Eric Bolling, and Sean Hannity. All talented audience builders. Ailes never needed it to be a “news” station. He saw a lucrative future while mainstream media was blind During its startup FOX PAID $11 per month to get cable companies to carry the station. (Most providers are compensated for carrying their content) FOX used Rudi Guiliani to step in as the mayor to make Time Warner carry the FOX NEWS channel in NYC. He played hardball and was genius-what companies PAY cable providers to carry THEIR channel. FOX NEWS has exceeded his expectations. FOX NEWS had revenues exceeding $3B (with a “B”) in the last quarter of 2023. What other venue can come even close to this measure of success? The so-called main-stream entities are lost in space—they can’t compete with Roger’s genius. |

I (and many others) have posted those facts, multiple times, with only a modicum of time "searching the internet"... |

Once they get too big, those "old growth trees" begin to choke out the undergrowth (not enough sunlight gets thru) and it does, leaving behind excellent kinding for a forest fire. Once a fire burns the old growth threes, their seed post release new seeds (they need the fire to release the seeds), and the cycle begins anew... Coral reefs die. Later, they are replaced by healthy new reefs... The cycle of life continues... |

We really need to fix this. Maybe spending a few $Trillion$ would help... |

As to your "Emmy" comment, take two seconds and ponder who exactly runs and selects the Emmy nomination and votes for the winners... |

Remember, friend, we are the "gnat" that invented the atomic bomb. Over 8 Billion of industrial "gnats" can move mountains and reshape the earth. And, we have. Give your species the credit we deserve. |

Oh, that's right you only site U.S. and Canada, but the problem is a global one. And the state of the Canadian and U.S. forests owes a lot to those tree huggers and the protection and regulations they got passed to replant forests and selective logging to keep the land healthy for regrowth. Left to their own devices, the loggers would have raped the land and left it bare and lifeless. Then you wouldn't have been able to say how great our forests are, cause there wouldn't be any. As to the Big Blue Marble. Let's hope you are correct about it being well. But wrong about humans turned to dust. Let us hope our species lives long and prospers because we learned our lesson and quit acting blind and arrogant. |

20 years ago went to the Mendenhall GLacier in Alaska and went back. Personally saw a huge difference. Saw photos in the Visitor Center and their photos showed a huge difference.

Also, I did give him a answer! The, he wanted my research. If I can do the work, he can too. Don't cheat off my answer sheet. And, as far as "useful idiots" is concerned, that is just what some guy said about his followers at some gathering recently. But that is for another time and place. I think we can expect to see the CO2 question again and again in the future. Have a great trip! 🙂🙂🙂 |
