    I don’t think so.
    You being up in Canada would know about the melting glaciers; they’re all going away at a rapid rate.
    All over the planet.

    Example (among many): Glacier National Park in Montana has nearly lost most of it’s glaciers; those that remain are expected to be totally gone within 10 years.

    Worldwide glaciers are all disappearing, and only because the planet is warming.
    Heck, I just went surfing in the Atlantic Ocean the other day; the water is losing it’s salinity due to the rapid ice melting from sea ice at both poles. You really can taste the difference (I’ve been surfing since the 70’s).

    There has been both global warming and cooling since the very beginnings of the planet;
    What makes this current heating so ominous is that this time it’s all caused by human activity.

    Look around; there’s humans everywhere...everywhere! on nearly every square inch of this globe, to the tune of nearly 8 Billion. I was born in 1961 when the world population was at 4 Billion people; the world population in my lifetime has doubled. And that is projected to double again by the end of this century.
    All those humans crawling over each other are really beginning to make a mess. Hell, why do you think real estate prices are becoming so outrageous?

    We’re toast as a race but seriously, no big deal, nobody lives forever anyway.
    Guaranteed, every person alive now will be 100% dead between now and 100 years from now, global warming or not. Why is the global warming concept then so quickly denied?

    Live life to the fullest, kiddies.

    That’s the point; that year without a summer lasted just a year.

    Maybe you fart and burp more than most humans do.
    But cattle and volcanoes do for sure produce more gasses than us humans do....its a fact.

    It's a scam because it's not gonna be enforced on everyone. Just the lowly people like us. The elites wont have to follow climate change rules. Also the fact we have already made progress reducing carbon. The ozone layer is repairing itself thanks to cfc regulations for aerosols. But there's only so much humans can do to stop the natural cycles of mother earth.
     
    MartinFromBC, 7-UP and FlaSwampRat Thank this.

    No Tennessee just has the occasional lot lizards. Especially over in Memphis or Nashville.

    Glaciers have been melting since the ice age...and thank God for this or else the entire planet would still just be ice and uninhabitable.
    Antarctic sea ice growing at record rate | National Snow and Ice Data Center

    Exactly!
    The next ice age will wipe us measly humans out just like it did the dinosaurs and other creatures before.

    Think I know what's for dinner. Some things are worth a heart attack. It's why God created stents.

    I think God created cows, cows created milk, man killed cows to make hamburgers and ribeyes, man created cheese from milk. Man then decided that cheese goes good with hamburgers and made cheeseburgers. Those cheeseburgers created heart attacks and then man created stents so he could continue to eat cheeseburgers. I'll drink to that!
