yah.... trees are pretty good. We should plant two for every one we take down.

The whole idea of agriculture, however, is to increase the biosphere via management.....we plant stuff, help it grow. I'm not sure what crops actually do more photosynthesis per unit area than forests, but corn would be a good guess.

I bet they can grow corn all year round in the Amazon.

We should plant more trees where ever they can grow, where ever they can increase our net biosphere.

Hey guys/gals give me credit I have planted more than a dozen trees and hundreds of other type of plants in the last 7 years. See I still do my part to help the planet.
 
Right. Perhaps “sooner or later” climate-change and environmental hoaxers will have to confront the fact that most of us are onto them and no longer believe the lies. (Related: U.N. official actually ADMITS that ‘global warming’ is a scam designed to ‘change world’s economic model.’) To underscore Gore’s bogus predictions, there is now a cycle of global cooling, not warming, and sea ice and polar ice caps are growing, not receding. Notice how they change from global warming to climate change. For some people, it doesn’t matter how often former Vice President Al Gore has been wrong in his dire predictions of planetary demise, thanks to human-caused “global warming” and “climate change.” They’ll believe him no matter what, until the day they die (from natural causes, of course, not from planetary demise due to “global warming” and “climate change”).

But for those of you who like and appreciate honesty from politicians and public figures, you have long given up any hope that Gore is anything other than a hapless, feckless Alt-Left partisan when it comes to his environmental activism.

That said, our job is to set the record straight, which is why we found it prudent to remind our readers that roughly nine years ago today, Gore predicted that many of you were going to be swallowed up by rising sea waters caused from tons of melting ice.

Needless to say, that didn’t happen.

In January 2006, Al Gore claimed that “within the next 10 years, the world will reach a point of no return” and “a true planetary emergency” due to human-caused global warming.
This can't be AOC said we have twelve years before we reach the point of no return. Crying...who do I believe? How about neither.

Again in 2009, Gore told an audience in Copenhagen, Denmark, that there was a “75 percent chance” that during “some summer months” the “polar ice cap” would disappear completely within “five years.” Lets see hmmm it has now been 10 years. I am no math major but that must mean we are really close to that happening now. wink

The claims were tied to his widely-debunked 2006 “documentary” An Inconvenient Truth, in which he won a very politically motivated Nobel Peace Prize. (Remember when Obama won a Nobel after just a few months in office based not on any accomplishments but on what the committee ‘hoped’ he would accomplish?) Who would want a Nobel Peace Prize now? I know I wouldn't.

What do you guys think about the latest numbers being that we have 14 months to live?

Well, the first thing I think is I ask myself what does @Heathme gain by lying, by misrepresenting what's being said? I'm mean I'm sure you know that nobody ever said "14 months to live". And you know that, I believe. BTW, it was 18 months, not 14. You're cheating me out of 4 precious months! Haha. C'mon. You're entitled to believe what you want, without mistating things simply to satisfy your desire to produce dramatic effect:



Also of interest here is the number of species going extinct as we apparently enter the Earth's 6th major known extinction event. I just doubt that it will include us, as your silly and meaningless statement suggests. But, you do you....

I did see that figure when you posted it earlier, knew it was not 14 months that had been cited, but I ignored it. Now, people can read the correct info above if the choose.

I've been keeping up with other environmental news. One of my biggest concerns is the president of Brazil's goal of clearcutting the entire portion of the Amazon within his borders, which is 80%. Concerned not just for what doing something that insane will do to CO2 levels, but also because of his apparent goal to eradicate every "Stone Age" tribe living in that Amazon. I don't believe he has the right to simply wipe out every single uncontacted tribe in the Amazon.

Since global warming is having its greatest effect in the Arctic latitudes, it is concerning that the Greenland ice sheet is experiencing one of its greatest melt years, as the European heat wave now moves over Greenland:

Not to mention the absolutely unprecedented wildfires raging in the Far North of our home planet:

Finally, something very few Americans have paid any attention to is the damage being done by Andrew Wheeler at the EPA. Here are 10 ways his decisions are/will affect the health of Americans, placing fossil fuel profits above real health issues at every single turn:

But, back to your claim "14 months to live", I refuse to believe you can possibly be that stupid. You're stating that for dramatic affect. So, not only do you rely on fossil fuel industry-paid science lackeys for your "science", but you twist the actual findings just to create a "clever"(???) misstatement. Beats the hell out of me as to why you feel the need to do that....

I will say the amount of plastic waste in China makes the idea of recycling in the USA pointless. They produce so much plastic waste and packaging here in China.

It does make me laugh that the Starbucks here in Beijing don't give you a straw these days. Like, really? You just gave me my coffee in a plastic cup, in a plastic bag. But no straw, lol. Plus literally 24 million people every hour on the hour order a drink here at work that comes in some fancy plastic cup with a huge straw, in 2 plastic bags.

So.....you have arrived.....

I think what you're saying here explains huge floating "islands" in the Pacific, made of clumped plastics loosely speaking.

A while ago. I read about a new invention in the Philippines..... a sort of autoclave for heating plastic to the vapor point..... various gas components emitted when polymers get hot enough to disintegrate....


It's a genius idea. Global problem, local solution. People can gather plastic outta the landfill, take it to the local autoclave, which resolves it back into various economic resources. You can run the vapors through a condenser and collect "fractions" at various liquifaction/condensation points.

The unit could produce gasoline, diesel, and airplane fuel.... and the lower end gases could be compressed and sold for propane cooking or heating use...

So many very poor people...... a way for starving folks to earn a day's wage, just gathering plastic junk and bringing it to the mini-refinery.
