deGrasse Tyson & Nye on Climate Change

You guys are pretty touchy. Head massages feel good and you really seem hellbent on trying to bring me down. Can I verify medically what happened? No. Have you ever had a head massage? It feels good, I suggest it. What's this psycho passive aggressive BS going on here? I'm not trying to sell anything nor do I care if you believe me.

So scalp massages don't relieve stress?

Head massages are the bomb.

At the men's hair cut shop in Elveden House you can get a shoe shine, hair cut, and scalp massage for 30 bucks. They even use a vacuum on you to get rid of all the little dagger hairs.

Gay Ray use to give the greatest head massages when you got a haircut.

This sounds like something that I would like.

It's a hidden gem.

March … I mean April 2016 Is the Sixth … I Mean Seventh Temperature Record-Breaking Month in a Row

[What’s going on? El Niño might be the obvious culprit, but in fact it’s only contributing a small amount of overall warming to the globe, probably around 0.1° C or so. That’s not nearly enough to account for this. It’s almost certain that even without El Niño we’d be experiencing record heat.



Most likely there is a confluence of events going on to produce this huge spike in temperature—latent heat in the Pacific waters, wind patterns distributing it, and more].

Looks like Scientific American agrees

Don't be so alarmist guys. It's probably nothing.

Why aren't we using geoengineering solutions now. The will does not exist to cut carbon. It makes no sense that we aren't piloting small scale geoengineering options to test technologies.

Since GISTEMP is by NASA, I'm going to say probably not. NASA has their own set of people trying to muzzle them.

Bottom line is that there's nothing to debate on climate science, the problem is real and the problem needs to be urgently addressed.

I think that means that solutions need to be all encompassing, however.

What we need is for the world's superspower countries to take it seriously and start in their own backyards if we want to get any meaningful progress on saving our planet.

Countries like Canada could literally exterminate our populations and shut down our land from human contact and the world would barely even begin to see the benefits.

The US pointing to Canada and our Oilsands as some sort of stumbling block in the world's race to save the planet is a completely egregious, protectionist play as they drill for oil business as usual.

The myth that other countries aren't doing anything just will not die.

Look what came through my twitter feed this morning:

US sets solar investment record in 2015

And just yesterday:

EU is proposing deeper energy savings targets

China is going to implement the world's largest carbon market.

Tinordi, people aren't saying that other countries aren't doing anything.

What they are saying, and what you continue to ignore or miss, is that other countries aren't handcuffing their own economies to get things done.

Building some infrastructure, and having some goals and targets, is one thing. Destroying your #1 industry, and thus leaving that industry in the hands of others - including some of the worst regimes on the planet - is something else entirely.
