    Climate changes and now it's changing back

    First it's a twenty year drought and now it 'rivers' of rain in the west. But it still is Climate Change I guess. Sometimes Anchorage Alaska gets no snow all winter and then sometimes it four ft. deep. Fairbanks can still hit thirty below zero. I think it's hard for even very dedicated scientists to pin it down exactly. I do believe there's way too many people on Earth and more and more of them are relying on technology to make their lives more pleasant. I don't see any end to that. So if our production of carbon IS a factor I don't see it changing much.
    Oh, and Chinas population declined for the first time in fifty years.

    Well, the term "global warming" had to be changed to something since it was all proving out to be BS.

    Weather runs in cycles.

    In my youth I've witnessed colder winters and hotter summers. We've always had rainy seasons and dry seasons so .....

    Overall the world's population is growing big time. Increased pollution and depleted resources including water is going to happen. It's not just the weather.

      Those who say there are too many people on Earth should schedule themselves for early departure.

        The idea of the game is to be responsible enough to not overflow your borders and resources in the first place.

        Look what is pouring in here vs what is pouring out.

          There is a heavy penalty for being responsible in this society -- suddenly, you have to take care of the irresponsible.

            Climate change and even continents moving around have been going on since creation! Ain't nothing going to change that. Species and humans will have to adapt or die! Seen any dinosauers lately?

                I would welcome a dinosaur. A real one. More interesting than the tiny people that are showing up around here regularly.

                  Probably. Dinosaurs did have tiny brains.

                    I like the vidio of Joe falling sound asleep during an interview. The host clapped his hands to wake him up! Almost as good as Joe trying to shake hands with nobody!
