Why is global warming such a concern for some people?

1) Some of us, yes.
2) No.
3) I've no idea. What's MLB?
4) Sure.
5) Well, it will change a lot.

Meanwhile the actual effects will be :

Rising seas and increased coastal flooding. Maybe you live inland, which is nice. You're still going to suffer the economic effects when coastal communities start flooding.

Weather changes. More and more severe storms, hurricanes, etc. This also means increased droughts. It's not making headlines yet but water is a rapidly booming industry for this reason.

Loss of forests. For example, the Rocky Mountains have lost tens of millions of trees over the past 15 years because of tree-killing insects, wildfires, and stress from heat and drought - all climate change driven.

Health issues : Climate change will likely lead to increased air pollution, a longer and more intense allergy season, the spread of insect-borne diseases, more frequent and dangerous heat waves, and heavier rainstorms and flooding. All of these changes pose serious, and costly, risks to public health.


Disruptions to food supplies. More frequent heat waves, heavier precipitation in some regions, and more severe droughts in others, all have implications for crop and meat production. That will drive costs up on everything from coffee to cattle.

Spread of Disease : As the temperate zones warm, many new species are moving out into new areas - and bringing tropical diseases with them. Expect to have to spend money to combat this, and expect to lost people to it anyway. Very possibly lots of people.


Care about it or don't, it's up to you.

I gave you several, you fucking dishonest idiot.

Would make sense, same nonsensical posting style and blade always puts my account on ignore immediately when he starts a new account. Putting out the bat signal to AJ...

That seems to be how many of them are.

Tantrum over?
I hope so.
What has Blade got to do with it?
Are you a Proggy sock? The foul language kind of gives you away.

...food for thought: (no pun intended)

100 years ago, there were fewer than 2 billion people living on earth. Today, 100 years later, there are 7 billion+ on earth. 100 years ago, only wealthy people owned automobiles. Today, there are billions of autos that consume fossil fuels. On average, every person today generates about 3 to 5 pounds of garbage per day. Much of this is recyclable, but most of it goes into landfills. The recent collapse of a garbage dump in Ethiopia killing more than 100 people should be a warning sign of things to come. Global warming? We are our own worst enemy.
