An ignorant chap who read that could be led to believe that the actual end of the world was at stake. What Hanson was saying was the tipping point of being able to keep rising temps within a 1ºC rise over a certain time frame was at stake. One must be wary about how info is presented.

Why do radical environmentalists appear to be so anti-human? Is there a hidden agenda there somewhere?There you go again. Stating as true something which is not, and proceeding from there. If you can't get your premise right, what can one do but smile and carry on. To help perpetuate an alternative universe where only alternative, convenient facts reside makes for a lot of bumping into reality, which probably accounts for all the political outbursts that come up in audio forums.

CO2 & us: https://www.lenntech.com/carbon-dioxide.htm Check out the last paragraph under Environmental Problems. It's a real knee slapper. Also, it's role in humans is nicely explained. All the best, Nonoise |
Would Trump's plan be something like Obama wanted? https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/obameter/promise/262/create-incentives-for-tree-planting-and-promote-ca/ Also, that proposal you mention is being done to give the impression that Trump is an environmentalist. The whole idea of planting more trees has been going on since his first year in office: https://www.vox.com/energy-and-environment/2017/8/21/16151244/trump-forest-environmentalists-planting-trees-thwart-president In fact, planting more trees has been a "duh" moment for ages. Then, there's this:https://www.climateadvisers.com/trumpbacktracker/ Scroll down to IMPACT OVERVIEW and click on "how many trees...." and you'll see just how many will be needed to offset policies enacted now by Trump and what it will add up to if all of his policies are allowed to continue.

The average fir trees emits 500 gallons of O2 a day. Trees and the oceans are the lungs of the planet. They're all part of that delicate balance. Destroy the trees and acidify the oceans and it's all a matter of time before adjustments made by nature come back around to knock us all on our collective asses. All the best, Nonoise |

I just fear that we may be where Rome was, when it failed: https://www.history.com/news/rome-republic-augustus-dictator So many parallels that it's starting to rhyme, again. All the best, Nonoise |
Sad but true story: I met a woman at a wine tasting and the topic turned to politics. We discussed candidates and she went on about Hillary being a pedophile (you know, Pizzagate) and it was then that I told her what Churchill said: "The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter." She was taken aback some and asked if I was insulting her. The poor thing really didn't know. All the best, Nonoise |
@asvjerry , yes, like mahgister stated, well said. But, I think we shouldn't be too kind as of yet because something tells me, if and when this house of cards all comes tumbling down, he'll just smirk and say, "what took you so long?" and then flip on everyone to get the best deal for his sentencing.

Sorry, I avoid hagiographies like the plague. To say he's prescient glosses over the fact that there's lots of people like him and he just happened to make it to the top, which exposed him on a national and worldwide basis. You see it's all an act. Right after Trump won, his son Eric, was confronted by a Muslim comedian (the name escapes me). Eric told him to relax, that it's all an act for them. In the new book, A Very Stable Genius (just out), Scaramucci , asks Trump if it's all an act. Trump replied that it is and always was, and that he didn't understand why people didn't get it. Personally, I'd love to see him testify, but he never will. Back when Dowd was prepping him for Mueller, he called it off and said if Trump did testify, he (Dowd) would end up in an orange jumpsuit, right next to him. The man is barely controllable and flies off the handle on a second's notice. He'd implicate himself in a matter of minutes. All the best, Nonoise |
Well, my due diligence got me this: https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-who-talks-about-executing-drug-dealers-vouched-for-two-of-them and this: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/08/donald-trump-model-management-illegal-immigration/ and this: https://www.businessinsider.com/new-york-times-trump-tax-fraud-father-fred-inheritance-2018-10 So, from associating with drug king pins, and deep into human trafficking, and tax fraud, I have to take a break.
