maybe they can catch all the water...fill up all the lakes and reservoirs

USA TODAY
Experts warn California of a disaster 'larger than any in world history.' It's not an earthquake.

Swain said that such massive statewide floods have occurred every century or two in California over the past millennia, and today's risk of such events has been substantially underestimated.


Massive California flood would be a $1 trillion disaster

It is estimated that a flood like the one that happened in 1862 would be a $1 trillion disaster, according to UCLA.

"Parts of cities such as Sacramento, Stockton, Fresno and Los Angeles would be under water even with today’s extensive collection of reservoirs, levees and bypasses. It is estimated that it would be a $1 trillion disaster, larger than any in world history,"


trillion dollar losses...how to best prepare for that? put the money in the bank? infrastructure projects? some green new deal type stuff?

Not a problem
Right after the flood, we set off deep nukes to trigger a 10.0 earthquake
Water drains into the cracks
Et Voila! Problem solved........

Find the Chart the LA Times posted in 1992. About it's average rain fall amounts going back to 1900.

This prediction is no surprise to me as every 30-33 years LA gets 30-33 inches of rain with a 18-20 inch spike in between. We had that spike a couple of years ago.

Well it's been 30 years now so we are dew.

'Oh and F Climate change. It's just more Bull shit from the Left to get you to comply.'

That's just a stupid statement.
Carl Sagan along with Jim Hansen & Roger Ravel were writing papers on the 'Greenhouse effect' over 40 years ago in the 80's.

All you have to do is look at Venus - which is the same size as the Earth has the same surface gravity and whose atmosphere went from one that, while it might not have been clement to one that turned into a total hell because of greenhouse gases.
In fact Sagan wrote his PhD thesis on the Greenhouse effect that occurred on Venus.

Watch the 4th episode of the original Cosmos titled 'Heaven & Hell' - you might learn something.

You can deny climate change all you want, which you and other people do because it's going to inconvenience your life and/or pocket book - which is a stupid & short sighted reason, but it IS happening and if man, as the perpetrators of it, don't reverse its course some form of Venus is what the planet is heading towards.

"That's just a stupid statement.

Well, actually..........

"In 1896, a seminal paper by Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius first predicted that changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels could substantially alter the surface temperature through the greenhouse effect. In 1938, Guy Callendar connected carbon dioxide increases in Earth's atmosphere to global warming."

Whether you believe that climate change is anthropomorphic or not is the first question.
If that's a yes, which it appears as though it is, from your post.
Then, next question is, what do we do about it?

I would posit that the things we're doing IN THIS COUNTRY right now are both STUPID and COUNTER-PRODUCTIVE.

The list of misteps (while the Chicoms and Dot Injuns proceed building coal power plants) is far too long to post here but just start with EV's. There are 1.4 billion vehicles in the world and right now 16.5 million EV's (1`% of that total). You're a complete slobbering idiot if you think we'll be replacing the one with the other any time in the next 50 years and let's not mention the fact that 1 in 5 go back to gas from EV. This latest garbage called the "Inflation Reduction Act" nothing but a gift to the Chicoms you morons and more subsidies to "green bullshit" that won't work (remember Solyndra?)

This is nowhere close to rocket science, fuck whoever you are and your religious belief that we're all doomed unless we destroy our economy and the lives of billions of people by following your solution to the problem. It's FAR cheaper and environmentally safer to create a trading platform for "Carbon Pricing" and let the marketplace of billions of producers/consumers figure it out.

You fucking totalitarians get it WRONG every time but it ends up biting everyone in the ass.......especially the poor.

The other option is we could simply de-carbonize you and break you down to your component parts so that you can give something positive back to the planet while silencing your yammering bullshit............whoever you may be.

Have none of you noticed that "if it bleeds, it leads"?

These so-called journalists are always printing this kind of bullshit, lol.

Climate change, nucular war, pesticides, pollution, carbon, progressives.........all inimical to our way of life........always on the front page.

Second section is always the car crashes, robberies and homicides
Great work!

I have experienced climate change in my lifetime.

More rain happened here and when I was abroad.

One of my favorite hide away islands in the Philippines was been washed away, and it broke my heart to turn away good friends in Fiji when rising tide and too hot weather washed away their farm before COVID.

Unless China, India and other countries get involved in reducing their greenhouse gas emissions in won't matter what the US does.

Africa's biggest source of electricity is from coal fired electrical plants. While the residue from nuclear power is a problem it is still a great source that doesn't create greenhouse emissions

That paper actually cites Sagan's Venus paper and Hansen's 1988 paper as well as a couple of papers from Ravel.

And If you read I said - man. As in the entire population of the world.

We have gone and fucked up the water that falls from the sky.

AF, my rant wasn't really meant for you.
Just the idiots who say things like this, lol

"I have experienced climate change in my lifetime.
More rain happened here and when I was abroad."


You're fucking punking us now, amirite?
You say a lot of dumb shit that we mostly let slide but WOW..........

So, you got rained on a little more than you thought you should or might have in the past
Therefore climate change........bwahahaha
Let's say you're right.....as I said in my first rant.....assume that anthropomorphic climate change is true.

NOW, the question is how do we handle it?
Such a waste of time posting to some of you.
Get in the game Gloomy

Funny, when it comes to climate change it's a proven science. But when it comes to the fact that a man can be a woman and a woman can be a man these same people don't care about science. They care about feelings. Today I identify as a 49 year old black woman. Tomorrow I'm thinking about identifying as a 28-year-old Latino. As for Thursday I haven't made up my mind yet

My bad, AF.
Most of what you post is right on
My posts here were more generalized in nature and not meant specifically for you or your post

It is literally possible to fill every digital storage unit on the interwebz with the utter senseless impossibly stupid postings of the "Gretas" on this site and refute each and every one, step by step.

But, to what end?
With most of the brain dead here, the squat shit hits their faces
They then deny that there's feces flowing down their throats as they gag on it
Sputter sputter.......but climate changey stuff........sputter gag puke......yeah, more rain and stuff like that.......barf barf.........er, um.........yeah well and wind and oh my, it's hot out today........choke choke......we're all gonna diiiiiiieeeeee

Tall dude is correct
New green dealers in the US have not learned how greenhouse gases work on the planet

I’m February China inked a deal with Russia to buy 100 Million tons of coal over the next 30 years
China will build hundreds of new coal fired electrical generation plants to burn that coal
With little or no pollution safeguards

Also in February India inked a deal to buy 40 Million tons of coal from Russia

The planet will warm
And there is nothing the US or West can do about it

No maybes brah, that's the truth
Just like Obama's Solyndra deal
Its all about the money flowing to the connected people
They DGAF about climate change bullshit

See how easy it is to fool a Prog?
Well, it'll only lower the temperature by .0028 degrees in 40 years
But, we're setting an example for others to follow
Leading the way into a better future....comrade

2 gave their lives for 3 feet of water?
The horror......

If we'd only spent a few billion dollars building dikes
Those 2 would still be alive
We should give their families the 2 billion
If they were people of color, make it 4 billion
Unless they were trans cross-dressing illegal immigrants with a lisp
Then you gotta back up the truck to Ft Knox and empty that bitch
