Thanks for those sarasterics. I'd have to educate you on that if you hadn't.
But in reality - I think just about everyone who graduated in Chem. E. is pretty intelligent. Even that last in the class guy.

I suspect much of the increase is better tornado detection, one of those being Doppler use by the National Weather Service as well as just about every television station in the region.

But there also seems to be a relocation to Tornado Alley to the east. i don't remember any upper end tornadoes this year in the traditional Tornado Alley, but there have been plenty in the so-called Dixie Alley that includes Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee.
We hear of Mississippi being second in number of tornadoes to Texas. Well, of course it is ... Texas is much larger in area, almost 5 times larger.
It likely already has saved plenty of lives. Hence the question about 100 years ago. Climate hasn't gotten so much easier than it was, but we have modern advances - i.e. HVAC, etc. to be able to help prevent many climate deaths.
Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Brazil, New Zealand, Denmark, Austria, Switzerland, Finland, Columbia,
As a % of the power we produce, only 20% is renewable. That puts us a 21st in the world....
Not accounting for Nuclear as Green
And the reason we are decades behind is in public opinion. the point i was making was that no where else in the world do we have this debate. no other major political party in the world is says climate change is a hoax

what's your point.... If it's that most people are Ignorant... I agree...
Good.
But I've detected a little confrontational tone in your posts. Maybe it's just me, but it came across that way when you didn't then when you answered the way you did. If not, I apologize, as it's hard to know in text form.
If it is though, my question is why? I never once refuted anything you or anyone on here has said. Hell, I've barely even taken a side on this forum.
I laughed, but he's not wrong. I don't think being eco-friendly is wrong or evil, though. I don't think he was implying that either, but I'm not sure. Without looking it up, I believe Heidrich Himmler was at the forefront of their Organic Farms, etc.
I am not worried about any time period that cannot support human life on the planet. Or Co2 levels either. We need a planet that can sustain life and human life at that.
Politics are only involved with Science and research because one party refuses to even acknowledge something is happening and that Humans are the reason it is happening.
Let's not dispel the notion that the little self-righteous child dorndog is brilliant or has intelligent things to say. It might harm his self-esteem.
Climate change is from the burning of fossil fuels and the introduction of Co2 to the atmosphere at a rate second to only volcanic eruptions.
Told you! It didn't take long did it? You just experienced the attempt to marginalize....lol on the wife part....bear trap closing
I am an all of the above approach, personally. Phase out fossil fuels over time, bring on alternatives over time. Which, is what is actually happening. No one is saying they are shutting down coal tomorrow. We are shutting it down in 20 years, we just have to invest now to get the alt production high enough to do it responsibly for all the energy users.... citizens.
TBH, most of our Jewish relatives became Catholics. A couple stuck with the faith but not in a genuinely committed fashion because they also married Catholics. "Attempt" is the key word. A failed attempt.
If we really wanted to, we could produce all of our own energy needs for this country with plans to expand beyond our 100 year projected use within the next 10 years. It would drastically change global politics and put our country on the best footing it has been on since 1945. But, it would take a damn large effort, and political will to do it. It can be done, should be done, and dare I say it almost has to be done.
All the while, burn fossil fuels and drill for oil as much as we want. I am all for it.

AC wont help us with sea level rising.
Or that we cannot grow as much maize, wheat, rice, soy, or potatoes as we need to feed everyone.
same with livestock. what types and breeds will need to be changed to adapt to the different temps.
All able to be done with breeding and crisper if needed i guess
You seemed to be trying to bait me with your question. and i'm wary of questions like that to being an disingenuous argument.
I wasn't trying to bait anyone. I asked 2 legitimate questions that most people get wrong in an effort to say to everyone this - "The media lies to you." Both sides.
That AC won't help us with sea level rising is indeed true. But, I'm going to ask one more question.
I'm 46 years old, so let's use somewhere around that much time. How many feet inland has the rising sea level caused the seashore to recede?
Oh I know.
Citizens United means that those with the money make the rules, and control what we hear, read and see.
It's funny to me, if not terribly sad that Republicans seem to think Donald Trump is completely innocent and Joe Biden and his crime family are completely evil and bought off and hate this country, while Democrats think Biden is innocent and Trump and his family are bought off and hate this country too.
The truth is probably somewhere in between.
So that's my point. Don't buy all the climate hysteria. Don't buy that it's not doing anything. It's somewhere in the middle.
ETA - This is a good story that looks at sea level rise with actual data and examples of how it affects coastal communities.
Depends on where you go...
- From NOAA: EPA’s analyses revealed that from 1996 to 2011, roughly 20 square miles of dry land and wetland were converted to open water along the Atlantic coast. Analysts also found more land was lost in the Southeast than in the Mid-Atlantic, and a greater loss occurred to dry land than nontidal wetland. This information was provided to coastal communities and practitioners as part of EPA’s third edition of Climate Change Indicators in the United States, a report that describes the significance of long-term trends and their possible consequences for people, the environment, and society. https://coast.noaa.gov/digitalcoast/stories/atlantic-epa.html
- Records show sea level in this part of coastal North Carolina has risen about 7.6 centimeters (3 inches) since the early 1980s. According to the U.S. Global Change Research Program, coastal erosion results in U.S. coastal property losses of about a half billion dollars each year in the form of damaged structures and lost land. https://climate.nasa.gov/explore/as...-level-rise-youre-looking-in-the-wrong-place/
- According to the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, global mean sea level rose by about 0.06 inch annually over the first 90 years of the 20th century. But in the single decade between 2005 and 2015, that rate accelerated to 0.14 inch per year. https://www.nrdc.org/stories/these-photographs-show-how-rising-sea-connects-us-all
- Is Louisiana losing a football field of land to the ocean every hour? Yes. Torbjörn E. Törnqvist, a geology professor at Tulane University in New Orleans, told us by email, “Estimates vary a bit, but by and large the one football field per hour metaphor is very reasonable.”
According to the U.S. Geological Survey’s most recent analysis in 2011, Louisiana lost an average of 16.6 square miles of land a year from 1985 to 2010, which equates to roughly a football field per hour. In total, the state lost 1,883 square miles of land between 1932 and 2010 — an area over 1.2 times larger than Rhode Island. https://www.factcheck.org/2017/03/land-loss-in-louisiana/
- Louisiana is in the midst of a land loss crisis that has claimed nearly 1,900 square miles of land since the 1930s, and a scientific analysis confirmed that without action, we could lose up to another 4,120 square miles over the next 50 years.
Barrier islands, marshes, and swamps throughout our coast reduce incoming storm surge, helping to reduce flooding impacts. If we continue to lose these habitats, the vulnerability of communities and infrastructure will increase substantially. https://coastal.la.gov/whats-at-stake/a-changing-landscape/

best I can see is to date the sea levels have increased 6-10 inches since 1901. But the rate of change is increasing. and as global mean temperture increases, so will sea levels. I'm standing on the shoulders of giants here. but it would not take much more rise to impact coastal low areas.
Calling biden a "crime family" tells me you are not a "both sides" as much as you say.
Not that i think he's above board, but I'm skeptical of information from Ukraine/russia and china.
Fear is a method to control people.

Is the land lost in Louisiana due to erosion, sinking or ocean rising. Storm surges do take some land back when they recede. Of course, changing weather patterns can be blamed for the surges.
If the ocean rose 3 inches in NC the same should apply for the entire Eastern Seaboard shouldn't it?
Because the words in red said he did***
Man, surprised this didn't go in another direction at this point***
I don't subscribe to slippery slope fear based decision making or let it get me riled up in any way. If my gas stove gets outlawed in MS while I'm still on the topside of dirt, I'll pay you $100 I told you so fee. Everything that happens in CA doesn't happen in MS, even on a long time line. Some things do. Most do not. You can react to that article however you see fit. I don't have the energy to put any alarmist energy into this one.
I would like to note my agreement in disdain for premature things. Also, you are correct. Green isn't fully baked and is evolving daily with pros and cons to most things posited that I've seen.
At first I thought this was "chili dorndog" and that got a chuckle.
Anyone who can't say which side lies much more than the other is a bigger liar than either.
Very true. YOU haven't lost any freedom. But some 19-year-old woman with a baby strapped to her chest is having to mine cobalt at gunpoint while huffing lethal fumes all because the Chinese govt has struck a deal with a warlord in the Congo because you need more battery power/renewable energy.
You are very right. YOU haven't lost any freedom. Unfortunately, someone on the other side of the planet has.
From what I've read, it's a little of all three columns but they're also interconnected. Sea levels rising leads to more erosion and some natural sinking obviously doesn't help.
As for your Eastern seaboard question - no, not necessarily. If only because land, even land under water, is at different elevations so changes are going to look different in different locations.
That is quite a descriptive strawman you've created there.
Much of that is due to all the canal construction during the oil boom. Lots of saltwater intrusion. The industry provided lots of middle and upper-class jobs that helped modernize South Louisiana but it came at a huge environmental cost. Repairing the damage, slowing land loss, rebuilding land etc will be quite expensive. Or one day Louisiana's coast will look at lot like Mississippi's coast.
Are your posts approved by Citizens United or does it somehow not apply to you because you're immune to it in some way? If CU is so powerful, how did it not control what you hear, read and see?

I am of course completely against 19-year old mothers being forced to mine cobalt with their babies strapped to their chests just to satisfy the terms of a fictional contract between China and a Congolese warlord. And that's to say nothing of how I'm against someone being forced to huff lethal fumes. You might even say I'm in an anti-huffing lethal fumes cult.
I just wasn't aware that your not at all made up situation only came into being because I support growing the renewable energy industry.
We're decades behind Brazil and Columbia, really poor countries, and some countries with lots of white people that drive tiny cars, lack dryers and reasonably sized refrigerators etc? I'm shocked. Because some might rely more on renewables than we do doesn't mean we're "decades behind." We just don't use as many renewables. We're also richer than any of the countries you mentioned. I do agree that Republicans are absurd to call climate change a hoax rather than just criticizing environmental extremism and alarmism.
