Is Climate Change real?

Also, how fucked is America?

>> No.8591242

yep it's real.

it'll destroy a lot of habitable land.

it was gonna happen anyway, with or without us.

Yes.
Yes.

I'm gonna state an unpopular opinion and say AGW isn't real. Temperatures today are well within the natural variability for the Holocene period.

Yeah it's going to happen. But the difference is allowing time for people to adapt. If you increase the sea level overnight a lot of people are going to drown. If you steadily increase it, giving time for people to build boats and shit then you'll have a fighting chance. So the argument is change and sudden change.

The absolute most the sea levels could rise is 2m. It's not going to be an extinction event, even if it does happen.

Yeah tell that to Bangladesh or the Maldives. There's a shitload of island people who will find they're going to have less island to live on. I'm not saying its going to be water world but these people got to go somewhere.

Has literally nothing to do with politics. I gave my evidence, you're the one that's trying to politicize it.

Right, I mean I live in the coast. If it does happen my family will have to relocate. It won't be the end of the world by any means, but it might set us back a century or so.

Pay attention to pathogen fitness and growth rates.

That's where you're going to get ass fucked. Most idiots are too busy paying attention to macro changes in the ecosystem.

Really?

>I gave my evidence
Your evidence Is utterly retarded, and either wilfully deceptive or founded on complete ignorance.
Nobody discussing AGW is particularly concerned about whether or not we're still within the temperature bounds of the Holocene, because the Holocene is a large period of time whereas modern cities and agriculture are new. If you look at anything published by actual climatologists, the concern is the RATE of warming, and that's both likely unprecedented and entirely man-made. Once upon a time Earth was unsuitable for any life at all, but that wouldn't make it okay if it went back to that overnight.

Yes. The military all over the world are reading for the fallout.
