I stood with two Aussie Falcon 7X pilots yesterday on a tarmac in so FlA. I told them I was sorry to hear of the fires in Oz. They told me that when they arrived here in the US, they were amazed to see how hyperbolic our newspapers and media are, that the fires were arson-caused and nowhere near the size our media portrays.

A researcher called John Galtung once remarked that if a newspaper came out once every 50 years (as opposed to every second in our digital world), it would not report celebrity gossip, fake news, and political scandals; it would report momentous positive global changes such as the increase in lief expectancy.

Good things unfold over time, but bad things happen quickly. My belief is that many folks here, in their mania to take out Trump, focus only on every second's worth of bad news and amplify it to be earth-shattering. Sorry to be the bearer of good news, but life has only gotten better for humanity, and that will always be the case.

Someone said climate change caused those fires to spontaneously combust?

Climate change (previously known as "global warming") seemingly has caused some person's brains to combust.

My opinion here PB that has been ridiculed and mocked by the dedicated members of the 72nd chicken little brigade has not and will never change. Our planet earth will do what it wants, when it wants, where it wants and how it wants. The chicken little brigade is unable to differentiate from what humans can control and what humans have no control over. When the chicken little brigade faithful can control things such as volcanic eruptions and earthquakes and all the other cataclysmic disasters our earth throws at us.. then I will be all ears. Until that time I will do what I have always done. When I take a long walk I will have the garbage bag in hand that I always have at the ready. My suggestion to the paranoid CLB members is to put on a fresh depends, grab a glass of warm milk with a glob of butter in it and don't worry about stuff you have no control over.

The earth has a mind of its own! When it gets angry it blows its top. That’s what happened in Monserrat. When the earth gets really mad, you get Mount St. Helens!!

TLD you need an extra lump of butter in your warm milk. Your more correct than you know when you say the earth has a mind of its own. Do you really think human beings can fix whatever you think is wrong with the planet? Do we need to stop eating cheeseburgers? Do we need to ban the internal combustion engine? Do we need to start driving nothing but electric cars( what about them batteries)? Do we need to stop all of those cow farts in our nations dairy cows? When you can tell me in a detailed, rational plan as to how you think we can save the planet... I'm all ears pilgrim. When you think you have a game plan that mother earth will sign off on please let me know. The present situation is nothing more than a bunch of freaks trying to dictate to us what their remedy is to save the planet.

Is it a coincidence that their solutions dovetail very nicely with their own personal agenda? We can't forget that the UN solution is to extort money from the wealthy nations to redistribute to poorer nations. Yet again, it involves nothing more than certain people using their cause to make a chitload full of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. I believe you are gullible and naïve enough to swallow the BS hook, line and sinker. I always make this offer to you folks. My friends play poker once a month. We are always looking for "fresh meat" that we can take their pocket change from. You have a standing invite TLD. Break open your piggy bank and count those quarters. You familiar with seven card stud?

The first part of any solution is the recognition there is a problem.

You are right, the system will come into stasis at some point, every system does. If/how/where the current inhabitants fit into that stasis is to be seen. I am not an alarmist by any means, I do not subscribe to the end is near philosophy of some but after reading, looking at the data, going through the data with ecologists and modelers where I work I am pretty confident there is an issue. Are there solutions out there that will fit? Good question, I do not know but seems to me we might want to begin looking into it.

You must be a FLP! Too much common sense in your post. I am not worried about climate change and the impact on the planet. I am worried about the impact on the people. It's possible that a nice virus will held weed people out. If it's anything like smallpox, that would be enough to do the trick.

I would think the impact you are worried about is more likely due to the size of the population rather than the climate, just MHO. This is not to say what you are concerned about might happen, I would think migration of vector species to areas not previously inhabited, again just an opinion. I do work with a guy that models things just like this, it is truly really interesting stuff and way above my feeble understanding.

I'm assuming you meant open borders and not open orders...... The vector I'd be most worried about would be the mosquito and sorry there aint no amount of border security that is going to keep that vector out.

Yes, I agree. Migration by any and all is also known to carry disease.

Do you really think human beings can fix whatever you think is wrong with the planet? Do we need to stop eating cheeseburgers? Do we need to ban the internal combustion engine? Do we need to start driving nothing but electric cars( what about them batteries)? Do we need to stop all of those cow farts in our nations dairy cows? When you can tell me in a detailed, rational plan as to how you think we can save the planet... I'm all ears pilgrim. When you think you have a game plan that mother earth will sign off on please let me know. The present situation is nothing more than a bunch of freaks trying to dictate to us what their remedy is to save the planet.

Is it a coincidence that their solutions dovetail very nicely with their own personal agenda? We can't forget that the UN solution is to extort money from the wealthy nations to redistribute to poorer nations. Yet again, it involves nothing more than certain people using their cause to make a chitload full of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. I believe you are gullible and naïve enough to swallow the BS hook, line and sinker. I always make this offer to you folks. My friends play poker once a month. We are always looking for "fresh meat" that we can take their pocket change from. You have a standing invite TLD. Break open your piggy bank and count those quarters. You familiar with seven card stud?

The first part of any solution is the recognition there is a problem.

You are right, the system will come into stasis at some point, every system does. If/how/where the current inhabitants fit into that stasis is to be seen. I am not an alarmist by any means, I do not subscribe to the end is near philosophy of some but after reading, looking at the data, going through the data with ecologists and modelers where I work I am pretty confident there is an issue. Are there solutions out there that will fit? Good question, I do not know but seems to me we might want to begin looking into it.

You must be a FLP! Too much common sense in your post. I am not worried about climate change and the impact on the planet. I am worried about the impact on the people. It's possible that a nice virus will held weed people out. If it's anything like smallpox, that would be enough to do the trick.

I would think the impact you are worried about is more likely due to the size of the population rather than the climate, just MHO. This is not to say what you are concerned about might happen, I would think migration of vector species to areas not previously inhabited, again just an opinion. I do work with a guy that models things just like this, it is truly really interesting stuff and way above my feeble understanding.

Maybe you all stumbled on to something with the virus/disease situation. The mere fact that open orders are strongly supported and currently still an issue, supports that 'vector species' nugget from Bart.

I'm assuming you meant open borders and not open orders...... The vector I'd be most worried about would be the mosquito and sorry there aint no amount of border security that is going to keep that vector out.

Yes, I agree. Migration by any and all is also known to carry disease.

Change in habitat forces people to migrate en masse. Guess what may force migration? And migration doesn’t = movement to a new country.

I stood with two Aussie Falcon 7X pilots yesterday on a tarmac in so FlA. I told them I was sorry to hear of the fires in Oz. They told me that when they arrived here in the US, they were amazed to see how hyperbolic our newspapers and media are, that the fires were arson-caused and nowhere near the size our media portrays.

A researcher called John Galtung once remarked that if a newspaper came out once every 50 years (as opposed to every second in our digital world), it would not report celebrity gossip, fake news, and political scandals; it would report momentous positive global changes such as the increase in lief expectancy.

Good things unfold over time, but bad things happen quickly. My belief is that many folks here, in their mania to take out Trump, focus only on every second's worth of bad news and amplify it to be earth-shattering. Sorry to be the bearer of good news, but life has only gotten better for humanity, and that will always be the case.

Someone said climate change caused those fires to spontaneously combust?

Climate change (previously known as "global warming") seemingly has caused some person's brains to combust.

My opinion here PB that has been ridiculed and mocked by the dedicated members of the 72nd chicken little brigade has not and will never change. Our planet earth will do what it wants, when it wants, where it wants and how it wants. The chicken little brigade is unable to differentiate from what humans can control and what humans have no control over. When the chicken little brigade faithful can control things such as volcanic eruptions and earthquakes and all the other cataclysmic disasters our earth throws at us.. then I will be all ears. Until that time I will do what I have always done. When I take a long walk I will have the garbage bag in hand that I always have at the ready. My suggestion to the paranoid CLB members is to put on a fresh depends, grab a glass of warm milk with a glob of butter in it and don't worry about stuff you have no control over.

Oh I don’t listen Cradle. The global warming crew isn’t really about ‘saving’ anything. They’re about denying doers the opportunities they themselves will never seize. I’m more amused than anything.

Thanks for your reply PB. I don't live in a multi million dollar exclusive neighborhood like so many of my FLP environmental extremists that like to lecture me here as to how ignorant I am. This morning when my wife and I left to go to Wegmans some folks had thrown their garbage bags and fast food containers out onto the road. For the umpteenth time we policed up the trash and put it in our garbage tote. I may be a denier but I am more concerned about actually keeping my community clean. I wonder how many of these folks here who live in their multi million dollar homes have this problem of having to pick up trash thrown on the roads where they live.
