"Some of the large homes haven't changed at all," Keesmaat says. They've just been turned into multifamily units."
Other free-standing houses that once lined suburban cul-de-sacs have disappeared; each one has been replaced with a building that contains five or six homes.
We may be in an inter glacial warming period or perhaps a true end of an ice age with total melting of the polar caps and about 200 foot of rising oceans. This has happened many times before and will happen in the future. Man has little to do with this. In fact man has nothing to do with this.
Based on history of sun spots we are probably entering a little ice age of a hundred of years or a bit more. There will be much starvation and war. If geologic history repeats this little ice age will be followed by much global warming and the seas will rise. Life on earth will flourish in a new warm climate. We will recede from the rising seas over thousands of years with no consequence.
Global warmth is the friend of life. Cold kills.
Yes, it’s 2050 and President AOC just announced that she had seen a poor person (a Democrat, she checked first) in DC and will increase the gas tax by $10 per gallon in order to help that and similar persons. That will raise the gas tax to $93.72 and 9999999.5 tenths per gallon, using Prez AOC’s math. AOC gave a public comment: “It’s good to be the King.”
so America gets to 2050 by reserving air travel for the wealthy elite, and by outsourcing steel - the same steel that goes into all those new electric cars and bullet trains - our space program and our military defense, not to mention the steel and copper and nickel wire needed for all those solar panels and battery hookups and light bulbs and bullet train rails. Or nuts and bolts and parts for those efficient appliances. The EU gets to 2050 by giving control of their electric grid to characters in the middle east while the US leaves their electric grid vulnerable to unrest in South and Central America, and the nuttiness just never stops. The bay area has over 100 cloudy days a year. Run a coffeemaker on that. Fight a war using only solar. Build a space colony without the chemicals and products produced in the US. Envirowackos never consider the entire picture or the human condition in their search for a Disneyland utopia. Unless and until western civilization, values, legal systems and morals (especially, do not covet) permeate every corner of the earth, and that will never happen, utopia cannot exist, much less get off the ground.
If that’s the world as they see it in 2050, I’m glad I won’t be around to see it. What a horrible future they portray. No talk of personal liberty; all for the collective.
BTW! Big deal about King Street. They did this with Yonge Street (closed to vehicles) in the early 70s.
I have seen the huge 30 foot rollers they use to roll up the mile of paper for toilet paper. These rollers roll out paper 100 feet per second as they get perforated, cut in rolls and go down conveyors, where they are wrapped and packaged. It takes a lot of energy to make the toilet paper necessary for all the BS these pie-in-the-sky climate unicorn riders issue. They have no idea the amount of energy needed to make the most simple conveniences of modern day life. It definitely will not come from solar cells or battery power.
If these environweenies want to do something, give them a shovel and some Douglas Fir sprouts and have them plant more trees.
Stopped climate change? LOL!!!!! Oh, the arrogance of those who think they are more powerful than our Creator.
Read no farther. The coffee's cold. It's just as easy to 'imagine' that in 30 years it's been impossible to invent batteries capable of economically storing all the world's energy overnight.
