Why Climate Change Won't Matter in 20 Years

Lots of causes:

"In contrast to researchers like Hoegh-Guldberg who emphasizes coral bleaching as a deadly product of global warming, bleaching is a visible stage in a complex set of acclimation mechanisms during which coral expel, shift and shuffle their symbionts, seeking the most beneficial partnership possible. Bleaching can be induced by stressful interactions between temperatures, disease, heavy rains, high irradiance from clear skies and competition with seaweeds. Indeed abrupt warm water events like El Nino have induced widespread bleaching and high mortality. But cold winters or La Nina induced upwelling of colder waters have also induced bleaching."

Is it the education system? I wouldn't know since I migrated (like the birds and fishies do ) to the USA when I was two years old. I moved from a very cold Hamilton, Ontario to sunny and hot Southern, California.... and didn't drown or die due to the climate change.

Or is it the long, cold winter contributing to a vitamin D deficiency that's making you depressed?

Absolutely, I believe that they start the indoctrination in Grade 1, at least based on the comments of all my Grandchildren. How would global warming come to the attention of 6 year olds? I posted this once before, in that it doesn't matter what the opinion of the older generations are as all the children are being trained up by the system controlled by the left including GW, Transgender rights and wealth redistribution.

My personal opinion doesn't matter and won't make a difference and I hope this post doesn't indicate my position in any direction. We did install 10Kva of solar at home but only because I got tired of paying the exorbitant bills as a result of Ontario's policies. With interest rates at near zero there was a better return than leaving the money in the bank.

My glass is full of tequila, tropical juices and gases, I'm realistic and thankful about that. I'm philosophical about the fact the water is made up of gases, in the triune fashion.

This thread is a textbook example for Poe's law.

Fascinating to watch though, but I'm still not sure who of you takes this serious and who of you is on the sarcastic side.

I suggest to the gases out of our glasses.

You mean all those promised services provided by your govt. weren't "free" after all?? The policies themselves are bad enough, but what I find most pathetic and worrisome is that older kids and college students don't seem to be taught how to think critically & independently. The resulting conformity, suppression of dissent, and often intimidation of those with conservative or religious beliefs as "politically incorrect" is all too often the result. Talk about "anti-intellectualism," except it's all in the name of "progressivism."

The truth is, based on my most recent discussion with my wife regarding whether pointy things should be pointed UP in the dishwasher, which is in direct conflict with placing said pointy things pointing downward in the little slots, the slots she claims absolutely prevent the pointy things from ever being cleaned in the sanitary fashion, thereby necessitating the downward placement in the COMMON BIN, in order to ensure cleanliness and safety, it came to light...

That I blame my lovely wife for EVERYTHING, but if you want to attack her for global warming you have to go through me and the dachshund first. If you want my 250 gal propane tank and the GE convective double oven, you'll have to ask Tammy first. Just a word of caution, she has the safe combo.

Canada had almost 10 years of a conservative federal government, and many provinces have or had conservative or centrist governments. So how has the left managed to sieze control of education?

Even Harper's government recognised GW, though they had little appetite for responding to it.

The same reason why US college campuses are dominated by left-leaning tenured faculty, despite decades of both conservative and liberal govts. What does one have to do with the other?

Had to google it.

This thread is a sociology experiment by the moderators of CF; previously they would have shut this non-sailing mess down relatively quickly. I guess allowing one such thread to fester flourish keeps the noise down in the rest of CF.

I don't think you can compare colleges and universities (which are supposedly free of control over curricula) with public k-12 schools. In Canada, schools are under provincial control.

OK, so a Canadian poster just stated that his 6-yr. old grandchild was talking about GW, but you know that schools in Canada are not dominated by leftists how?

OK I have a question how much of the particulates in the air is anthropogenic, and how much is biogenic,?

You know that Canadian schools are dominated by leftists, do you?

Scary.

No ice here, either:
