^Jem, don't go away in disgrace and shame. Just go away. Ricter has masterfully shown what an insane fool you are, again. As if we needed any more proof. You are redistributing lies that are too obvious even for Watts. You lying sack of shit.
Jerm is so psychotically anti-government that he would rather see things like this happen then have the government set policy to address it.... Disease Depending on where you live, you may use bug repellant to protect against West Nile virus or Lyme disease. But when was the last time you considered your risk of contracting dengue fever? Warmer temperatures along with associated floods and droughts are encouraging worldwide health threats by creating an environment where mosquitoes, ticks , mice and other disease-carrying creatures thrive. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that outbreaks of new or resurgent diseases are on the rise and in more disparate countries than ever before, including tropical illnesses in once cold climates -- such as mosquitoes infecting Canadians with West Nile virus. While more than 150,000 people die from climate change-related sickness each year, everything from heat-related heart and respiratory problems to malaria are on the rise [source: The Washington Post ]. Cases of allergies and asthma are also increasing. How is hay fever related to global warming ? Global warming fosters increased smog -- which is linked to mounting instances of asthma attacks -- and also advances weed growth, a bane for allergy sufferers.
No... you are confusing arguments. 1. nothing I wrote is inconsistent with what you quote below. I will explain what you got wrong next.
What you got wrong here... is that you used a 25 year old thought that has been pretty much abandoned the last few years. The NASA experiment virtually proves CO2 does absorb some heat energy from the sun in the upper atmosphere and then bounces it back into space. . which is completely opposite of your quote which says this... "Carbon dioxide doesn't absorb the energy from the sun, but it does absorb some of the heat energy released from the earth."
I am not anti govt... I am anti pre fascist states. We need some govt... the more local and the more competent the better. We need a federal gov't to provide courts a a strong military and secure the borders and a few other things. We could cut the federal govt in half and probably not feel it, if it were done well. We need a big federal govt like we needed Obamacare.
It doesn't matter what a lying ignorant sack of shit like you thinks jerm. The debate is over. Finished. The basics of the science is settled and you are not a scientist. You are a lying sack of shit repeating lies. Equivalent to those that lied about cigarettes.
Drought While some parts of the world may find themselves deluged by increasing storms and rising waters , other areas may find themselves suffering from drought. As the climate warms, experts estimate drought conditions may increase by at least 66 percent [source: Scientific American ]. An increase in drought conditions leads quickly to a shrinking water supply and a decrease in quality agricultural conditions. This puts global food production and supply in danger and leaves populations at risk for starvation. Today, India , Pakistan and sub-Saharan Africa already experience droughts, and experts predict precipitation could continue to dwindle in the coming decades. Estimates paint a dire picture. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change suggests that by 2020, 75 to 250 million Africans may experience water shortages, and the continent's agricultural output will decrease by 50 percent [source: BBC ].
To address global warming we need strong centralized govt policies and international cooperation. Don't you agree jem?
