From the Everglades to Kilimanjaro, climate change is destroying world wonders

From the Everglades in the US to the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, climate change is destroying the many of the greatest wonders of the natural world.

A new report on Monday from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) reveals that the number of natural world heritage sites being damaged and at risk from global warming has almost doubled to 62 in the past three years.

Those at high risk include iconic places from the Galapagos Islands to the central Amazon and less well known but equally vibrant and unique sites such as the karst caves of Hungary and Slovakia and the monarch butterfly reserves in Mexico.

According to NASA satellite data, the only data that can be considered even remotely scientific (assuming it is not being ginned by someone like Hansen), there has been NO climate change, regardless of cause, for over 15 years now.

These stories are completely made up. It is insane.

Not destroying those wonders, but changing them.

The original atmosphere of earth was largely ammonia, water vapor and carbon dioxide. There was no nitrogen as a free element, and all the oxygen was bound up in the carbon dioxide and water vapor.

Only with the appearance of living organisms that converted the carbon dioxide and water vapor into free oxygen, then reacted with the ammonia to form free diatomic elemental nitrogen (which today makes up some 80% of the atmosphere), and enough excess oxygen was produced to make some 20% of the atmosphere, did we have an atmosphere in which it has been even possible for human beings to breathe. All the other components in the air, except for water vapor, account for less than one percent of “other compounds”, and a good part of that is made up of what are the “noble gases”, argon, neon, helium and krypton, with carbon dioxide making up only about 0.04%, and methane making up only about 0.0002% of the total. Argon is a much more potent “heat retention” factor than carbon dioxide, if only because there is some 25 times as much argon compared to carbon dioxide.

Did climate change cause all the pythons to appear in the Everglades? The everglades has been trashed by these pythons. Small creatures and pets have been decimated in this area.

Why should I even listen to these people about some fictional climate change problem when they don’t seem concerned with the obvious destruction caused by out of control snake populations?

Developers nearly killed the Everglades not climate change.

It’s their job.

The job of a propagandist is not to inform the public, it is to mold and shape public opinion.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

I live on Galveston Island. The Gulf is still where it is supposed to be. I have been here 84 years.

The NOAA (might have been NASA, it's been a year or two...) goofed up and printed their "Global Temperature Change" maps alongside their "Global Temperature Readings" maps.

The "Temperature Change" maps were very complete. Predictions for the entire globe.

The "Readings", however? Huge blank spots. Most of the oceans, most of Africa, Australia, and South America, IIRC. We're not talking missing bits and pieces, we're talking about entire continents with only a handful of readings.

So.... how would one measure temperature change without any data? Would be like stating the temperature of North America to within a tenth of a degree by looking at the thermometers in yours and my backyards. Then, making global economic policy based on the wild guesses.

Not surprisingly, the actual readings - North America and Europe - showed mostly cooling temps. The fudged readings all showed uniformly hotter trends.

The maps still exist on the internet...nothing disappears. They can be found with some hunting.

Hey Joe, a former Galveston Ian here. I lived there back in 77-78 as a Coast Guard brat, attended Ball High. Went thru a hurricane then (small one) and remember wading in almost waist deep water in the streets. I worked at the Original Hills Restaurant as a busboy with my mom, who was a waitress there. So, I was wondering, is the OH ILLS still there?
