    More effects of warming and increased CO2 levels

    oh, and eat a bag of s, Wild Cobra. Try blaming this on "soot", stupid mother er.



    The ocean is losing its oxygen. Last week, in a sweeping analysis in the journal Science, scientists put it starkly: Over the past 50 years, the volume of the ocean with no oxygen at all has quadrupled, while oxygen-deprived swaths of the open seas have expanded by the size of the European Union. The culprits are familiar: global warming and pollution. Warmer seawater both holds less oxygen and turbocharges the worldwide consumption of oxygen by microorganisms. Meanwhile, agricultural runoff and sewage drives suffocating algae blooms.

    Fudge. I’m a marine biologist and I can confirm. Oceans are also becoming more acidic. This is the real environmental threat unlike fake global warming.

    both are the symptoms of increased CO2...

    Question is, what will we do? All you can do is depopulate the world, but then the entire global economy is built like a Ponzi scheme so it would collapse. It’s be carbon ing up the oceans. What do we do, deindustrialize?

    Yes, the obvious two choices are keep your foot on the gas and race 1000mph until the planet burns, or genocide all the hole countries and live like cavemen. No in between.

    You're dumber than tlong

    But I’ll add, solutions that involve treaties that hold the USA to a higher standard than other countries are a non solution.

    God forbid being held to high standard. What makes America great is how cruel and greedy we are. the world!

    Let’s put American businesses at a compe ive disadvantage while the countries responsible for the other 80% of global output pollute to their hearts desire.

    Easy to simply reduce carbon emissions. Increasingly steep carbon taxes on energy.

    Not difficult, and doesn't involve any depopulation, which happens naturally as we industrialize.

    The solution isn't less industrialization, it's more, and using green energy to do it.

    Myth, and shoddy propaganda. If you are a scientist, you should look a bit further than this narrative.

    Green energy forms, solar and wind, etc, are technologies. First nations into technologies gain some solid compe ive advantages in economy of scale, and concentrations of skills/industries.

    There is a wild west of dozens of competing technologies. Other countries are funding them. We ignore it at our peril

    Even fossil fuel companies are undergoing paradigm shifts and beginning to finally view themselves as energy companies first, and fossil fuel companies second. This will have a profound effect on investment and development.

    Moral leadership counts for a lot when you ask others to do things. This works for both countries and people.

    We used to be leaders, and people others would look up to. Abdicate that at your peril, there are alternatives.

    NASA just made a stunning discovery about how fracking fuels global warming

    At least we are closing the hole in the ozone.

    This and curtailing acid rain have had some fairly dramatic effects. The scrubbing of sulfur compounds out of power plant stacks has done a pretty good job.

    Put giant fish tank air pumps in them and ph chemicals til the oceans are stable again.

    yep, REGULATIONS to cut down acid raid was a huge success, and that was 40 years ago, before the govt and economy were totally rigged by the VRWC/oligarchy. It's VERY different, for the worse, USA now than in the 1970s.

    I bet if states that were victims of acid rain in the 60s, 70s, were suffering from acid rain taday, I doubt the regulations would be so easy, so effective, if even implemented.

    Now we see the oligarchy's s like Zinke, Perry, Trash, Pruitt, etc hired to reverse decades of environmental progress, which still has plenty of progress to be made, but won't happen now.

    Air, water, soil, human, environmental health will all be degraded, sickened, diseased, killed, for profit of the oligarchy.

    The big ticking time bomb is the crystalline methane deposits on the ocean floor.

    Fun thing about that is that we may see some mysterious ship disappearances if that happens. Massive bubbles and fizzing makes the local water a LOT less dense, and a ship sitting on top of it immediately sinks.

    Experiment on this, with some speculation about the nature of the Bermuda Triangle:

    not us. we can't control that.

    regardless of source, the methane isn't harmful if it stays buried. melting permafrost will release it, tho. we can control that. its much more productive to spend our energy focusing on things we can control. thats why our goal should be to reduce greenhouse gas emmissions, not find a way to make the sun cooler
