Yet he's right. Science does not support climate alarmism, and the alarmists rely on ignorance (for example, those who assume linear scales when logarithmic scales are in play). I have some experience in research wrt effects of the sun upon our atmosphere, a significant item often downplayed and sometimes completely ignored.sdaltons wrote: ↑19 Jun 2025 12:07 pmMy goodness.Goldfan wrote: ↑19 Jun 2025 10:30 amYou’ve Been bamboozled by manipulators attempting to profit from your panic.

To deny the recent (since 1850) CO2 and methane increases on anything other than human causes reaches a point where we can't have a civil conversation. Yearly ice cores clearly show the trend, both since the industrial revolution and before the industrial revolution, when the yearly CO2 levels were very stable.Goldfan wrote: ↑19 Jun 2025 08:26 amHumans tend to think that the environment(Earth)SHOULD stay in a very tight range for all natural inputs that directly affect them. If a slight variance occurs it must somehow be caused by them. The scale of just the Sun/Earth relationship is unfathomable…..with the ever so slight changes representing less than nothing in a cosmic sense…..just be thankful a 0-100F temp range remains…..if the sun deviates, polar shift, or even Yellowstone blowing you might understand this stupid obsession with supposed human CO2 manipulation is laughable.JDW wrote: ↑19 Jun 2025 07:49 am So tornado alley has expanded from the traditional area of the Great Plains to the SE recently.
Seems like this spring storm system after storm system track thru the STL area, thru S. Illinois and into the lower Ohio valley. Meanwhile some parts of N. Illinois and parts of Iowa are in an abnormally dry area. Increased weather volatility all over the globe is the apparent trend.
Atmospheric levels of CO2 have risen from about 280 ppm pre industrial to about 430 ppm today. Methane levels, a more potent greenhouse gas has risen from about 720 ppb pre industrial, to about 2000 ppb today.
As the permafrost continues to melt, more and more methane is being released that had been trapped underground into the atmosphere that wasn't figured into recent projections for the climate models. Then while the lower atmosphere has been trending warmer, the upper atmosphere like the stratosphere and mesosphere significant cooling is happening as greenhouse gases act differently higher up.
But yeah, let's deny we're not complicit with climate change.
Anyway, yes, I think a retractable roof where you could still maintain natural grass would be the ideal model for new stadium construction.
We are already in an extinction event, this time and for the first time caused by human activities. It's not that apparent to most because we don't have a good perception of time or the natural world around us. We're doing it very fast. Have we already crossed a tipping point? For many species, yes. For us, with our ability to manipulate our own climate, probably no. Many species disappear, while many more species are coming on line, but biodiversity continues to decrease overall.
And eventually we can probably transform Mars. With our moon, maybe we can make the old lava tubes there inhabitable. That's where the underground cities might work best.
