So eery and spine-chilling to see those warnings about droughts and famines from centuries long gone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beelzebub 2,508 Posted August 31, 2022 Author Share Posted August 31, 2022 Giant inland lake seen from satellite because of the heaviest floods in the country's history. Floods were normal due to glaciers melting every year ( we have the most after the polar region ) but they are now melting more than usual due to climate change and this year there were more than usual rains as well.

Waylander 166 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 It's a shame heavy rains like this cannot be captured to be spread elsewhere where needed, plenty of places are still in drought. I caught a Simon Reeve documentary yesterday and he was with South American rain forest people. Their land was being illegally logged and like most indigenous groups all think the planet will respond in some unexpected ways. They blamed their white brothers although not so sure in these days it is the West suspect it might be poor Brazillians doing it to meet Chinese demand.

Gunnersaurus 200 Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Had a conversation with a climate change denier. He was complaining about the clean air zones being introduced. It's amazing how people will deny something is happening because it inconveniences them. He also said he spoke to a scientist who said it wasn't real. I pointed out to him that around 97% of climate scientists disagree with him. Can't remember what he said then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember what he said then would environmental preservation not be better suited to trying to get India and China to comply with cleaner emission policies rather the target the rest of the world which has reduced harmful gases, started to use chemicals that are good for restoration of the atmosphere? surely more can be done that side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negative I would imagine. Probably every species would be better of without us.

You don't get in the SAS with low intelligence, i know more about how the world works then you ever will. climate change is about control, look what they are doing in China, the end goal is depopulation but this isn't the place for real world stuff, bet you think Putin is the bad guy right? you don't have a clue mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
