You know, when I think about it climate change might not be that bad. If all the icecaps melted California, New York, Oregon and Vancouver would be underwater

So you don't think we're fucked by 2030?

if you are interested about why climate change is pushed so hard. read about UN agenda 21.

There are 7.7 billion people and climbing. It's not possible to support that many mouths on a pre-industrial economic model. The solution is not regression, but technological advancement. Elon Musk has the right idea with Tesla. Change through genuinely better market alternatives, not government force.

Well, if they think we are going to have a runaway greenhouse effect by 2030 they are idiots. ALL of the carbon on the earth used to be in the air and the planet didn't fry.

Now, if they mean that is the point of no return where we will have a hothouse earth, sure that could happen.

Also, if people genuinely believed that there would be a runaway greenhouse effect in 2030, there would be a real estate boom in northern Canada. You wouldn't be able to buy a piece of tundra for love or money.

<<<lives in northern Canada

I want you guys to realize

That if climate change was as bad as everyone said, it would still be a good thing

"Why is that Scrib"

Well I'll tell you

"Goodie!"

Calm down.

i don't care, the sealevel should rise by 400 meters ... overnight. that would take care of overpopulation and pollution

We are a tropical species.

There's a lot of land we don't get to use.

Canada is on this knife-edge of livability.

Canada would benefit radically from this shit.

And it wouldn't happen overnight.

And yes, there'd be some losses.

Only with natural gas to stop us from freezing when it gets to -40 every year

But if climate change were as BAD AS EVERYONE SAYS

(And it isn't)

There'd be greatness in it.

turn that to +60 meters and tell my what the problem is

yeah sure, northern germany would be smaller, as would the eastcoast and mississipppiii

I really wish Crowder wouldn't title his videos that.

It's like dousing a steak in castor oil for those not convinced.

Really annoying.

But the interview itself is good.

Please listen to it.

I think it is more complicated. Much of the water that feeds the continent comes from meltwater in the Rockies, for example. And a great deal of that comes from melting glaciers, which are receeding at an incredible rate. Once they are gone many rivers will dry up or become a shadow of what they once were. The Columbia icefields, as one example, have retreated over a half mile in 30 years.

Keep in mind those waters all flow from my province (Alberta) to fill the Missourri and Mississippi

I'm not worried.

My point was that there is more too it than just warming. As Alberta warms and the agricultural zone moves north we also see desertification in the south. For now that is probably a net benefit because we have enough water to grow crops in the prairies (which are dry enough that they are a desert) and having a 20 hour day in July is great for crops in the north, especially if they have a long enough season that we can be sure they won't be killed by frost. BUT with less water we could actually lose cropland.

We've had some amazing advances in desalinization and irrigation in recent years, from my understanding. Both are still expensive, but good investments could make them feasible.

It happens slowly enough to analyze.

It's not like Centralia.
