Venomous sea creatures on the rise
I thought this would be a Michael Avenatti thread.

***50 percent of the worlds population will be living within 60 miles of a coastline. ***
Twenty five years ago I read that 50% of the USA population lives within 50 miles of the oceans. So what is the problem?

***...Pouring Soot Over the Arctic in the 1970s***
Believe it or not I remember that suggestion way back then. Even earlier some si-fi writer suggested the USSR might cause floods in the USA by spraying ground coal on ice fields to increase melting.

GEE, I remember as a kid when my parents took us to Orchard Beach in daBronx, or Jones Beach on LI,sometimes warnings were posted to be aware of jellyfish, there stings could be venomous. And this was when the few encironazis around were looked upon as nutjobs. Before they scammed the general public about global COOLING. WOW! I'm getting old! 🤔😐☺

So climate scientists are doing double duty. We should all pay double in climate taxes.

The Medieval Warm Period was a time of warm climate in the North Atlantic region that may have been related to other warming events in other regions during that time, including China and other areas, lasting from c. 950 to c. 1250. Averaged global mean temperatures have been calculated to be similar to early-mid 20th century warming. Possible causes of the Medieval Warm Period include increased solar activity, decreased volcanic activity, and changes to ocean circulation. The period was followed by a cooler period in the North Atlantic and elsewhere termed the Little Ice Age. Maybe the Vikings had SUV's we don't know about. And the human race was not wiped out! Climate change is a natural occurrence, and the junk science that claims it is man-made is supported by tax dollars which go to the scientists who toe the party line.

Remeber the dire warnings of OZONE DEPLETION? How cattle farts were deteriorating the fragile ozone layer that protects us from excessive UV radiation. Also, Ted Danson, another supreme celebrity intellectual told us FL, NYC and the coasts would be underwater within 10 years if we don’t DO SOMETHING about the environment. That was in 1988. He should’ve tried to hold on to his gig as bartender and Diana’s on again/off again boyfriend on Cheers at least that was somewhat funny.

And here I thought that people moving animals to where they are not indigenous, with no natural predators, was what causes this problem.
I guess I have to change religion.

There’s a reason Greenland got it’s name. During a relatively warm era, ancient Vikings were actually able to grow crops on a large portion of that Arctic

There are more and more people going in the water,
Not good English, as proper would be “going into the water”. Otherwise, when people have gone into the water, they go in the water because no one wants to get out of the water they have gone into and walk across the beach to go into the restrooms to go.

Is there anything climate change cant do?Wait until it unleashes the Kraken!

Oh no, you mean I might be attacked by an venomous sea monster if I go boating next weekend? Ok, I guess I'll sell my boat*
*I traded my boat for a 34 foot already... Thank you President Trump ...

I’ve never regretting cancelling my subscription over 10 years ago. Used to be a semi-rational magazine. Now it’s pure propaganda.
