Climate change already costing US taxpayers billions in losses, GAO report says

no arguments from me. i keep watching damnyankees buying the same beachfront property in a hurricane zone time after time. when i lived in CA i used to watch damnfools from SoCal buy the same riverfront property (in a flood zone) time after time. reality, as well as karma, is a bitch.

That is part of the narrative. Nothing like an Ice Age to cool things down for a couple million years. I can only speak for the climate where I grew up and now live. Not much of a Winter anymore. We used to wear sweaters in Fall and a heavy coat after that. That was until Spring, but now we often have short sleeve weather for Christmas. I don't know if it's a cycle or man-made, just that it exists. Much more drought too. Trees dying everywhere. More tornadoes. Again, no way to know if it's man-made or just part of a longer cycle of nature that repeats itself over time i.e. interglacials. Regardless, if they are close to being correct we won't have to worry about it for around 50,000 years. Just sea level, more hurricanes, crop loss from drought etc.

"The earth has been in an interglacial period known as the Holocene for around 11,700 years, and an article in Nature in 2004 argues that it might be most analogous to a previous interglacial that lasted 28,000 years. Predicted changes in orbital forcing suggest that the next glacial period would begin at least 50,000 years from now, even in absence of human-made global warming."

i've lived all over the country... seen it warm-up & dry off... been through tornadoes, hurricanes (& typhoons), droughts, blizzards earthquakes fires & floods. what i DO remember was in the '70's they were wringing their hands about the coming Ice Age... didn't happen. AlGore said the coasts would be flooded by now due to Global Warming... nope.

this ain't about science, it's about control.

Sgt Wayne Wood - Maybe if we could look at the stock portfolios of climate change proponents it would shed some light. Green energy investments by those on the soapbox would raise eyebrows with me. It would make me consider them capitalizing on the data for personal gain. Conversely, the fossil fuel folks funnel tons of cash into government to maintain the status quo. Since I don't live on the coast I'm not sweating it. Not much I can do about the New Madrid fault though, except move, and if I do move again it will be OCONUS.

Look at Al Gore
