All gone.

**SNIP**
The last topic of discussion was potential solutions. The panel split into two sides on this one. Some panelists suggested different options to prevent further greenhouse gas pollution, such as a transition to renewable energy and increasing fuel efficiency in vehicles. Others, however, saw the only real solution as finding ways to live in an imbalanced world, like avoiding development in flood-prone areas.
Such a view might seem unnecessarily bleak and pessimistic, but it's by far the more practical view. The Earth has only 16 years left of emitting greenhouse gases until we reach a tipping point. That's not 16 years left to begin approaching the issue, that's 16 years left to stop emitting greenhouse gases altogether. Frankly, and tragically, this radical of an action in such short of a timeline just doesn't seem realistic.
So while we should praise CBS for speaking up about climate change, it seems we've all been silent for far too long.

True
And in the 1980s. They claimed we were cutting down the Rainforest at a rate equivalent of 10 football fields a minute .
Yet I notice no desert in that region, and the Rainforest is still there today and looking no different.
Well at least the radon gas is killing the toxic mold in my basement, so there is some good that came out of it.
“The Earth has only 16 years left of emitting greenhouse gases until we reach a tipping point. That’s not 16 years left to begin approaching the issue, that’s 16 years left to stop emitting greenhouse gases altogether.”
Even if there were no humans on earth, “greenhouse gasses” would continue to be “emitted” naturally. So, there’s no hope. The planet is doomed. We’re all walking dead.
Therefore, since we’re all going to die within the next 2 decades, I propose we change a few things to accommodate the “new reality”.
First, through a national special election, everyone must choose one of three answers to a single question on the ballot. The question asks whether you believe in man-caused global climate change and elicits a “yes”, a “no” or a “I don’t know”, and separates everyone into one of three groups:
Group One is comprised of people who believe the catastrophe nonsense and are called The Alarmists.
Group Two members answered “no” to the question and are called The Adults.
Group Three is populated with folks who don’t have a clue and are called “The Gullibles”. They can join either group (as long as they continue to agree to believe anything they are told), or can do nothing and hope for change.
Based on the numbers involved, the country is divided into 3 geographical areas and Group Two take an oath to uphold and defend the constitution as envisioned by the original founders. Since the vast majority of the people in this Group own firearms or uphold the right to bear arms, they will naturally decide which part of the country they want to inhabit.
The other two groups can make up their own constitution, or whatever, but they cannot enter the territory of Group Two without permission. (This should not upset them too much since they believe they are going to live for only 16 more years anyway).
Now, if the Alarmists or Gullibles don’t like the new setup, the members of Group Two will agree to allow them to move to any other countries of the world who will have them.
I've got his tipping point for him, right here.
The ice comes back in 600-1800 years, with 1000 yrs. as a good middle guess. Then he can kiss his butt goodbye.
These guys have no idea.
There you go -- it's a tradeoff, you know?
Wait long enough and the leading edge of the ice will move you to Mexico and you won't have to do anything, just surf the moraine all the way to Sinaloa.
I’d be happy with simply lifting the ban on CFCs in inhalers. The more environmentally friendly accelerants in asthma inhalers don’t propel the medication well enough, compared to CFCs, and the amount of CFC used in inhalers is infinitesimal compared to the impact of leaking CFCs from HVAC equipment.
All gone.
Thanks Libloather.
Algore doesn’t even know where Earth is.
Vaporized due to the intense nature of Gorebal Warming’.
No one has yet explored the reasons behind Tipper’s leaving the hog in a suit. It could be because she realized that he was even more stupid than she is. Or, perhaps that the realization sunk in that his money wasn’t everything. Or, perhaps he farted in bed.
At any rate, Tipper is in a much better situation even being vaporized.
I think we’re back to global cooling / Ice Age again. When the libs start demanding that we do something about it, we need to insist that all cars be converted to gas guzzlers and people heat their homes to 80 all winter so that we can put more CO2 in the air and increase warming in order to stave off global freezing.
