So in an article published in the Wash Post the Earth is currently at about it coolest period in the last 485 million years.
So you're suggesting a net loss of $173B in 3 years, without any idea of how it happened, is a bad look?
How racist... fascist... misogynist... transphobic... homophobic... xenophobic... capitalistic... Hitler of you.
Listen, if you keep this shit up, the Three Stooges are going to start flagging your posts.

You don’t have to like Trump to see he’s obviously better for the country than anything in the Democratic Party. If it pisses of the Leftist Authoritarians, that’s a bonus. At some point their minions will see they need treatment for their delusion, or they’ll continue to spiral into more debilitating mental illness.

The graph isn't new. Maybe more relevant might be that conditions on Earth were ideal to allow humans to evolve in the last 2-3 million years, so discount 483M of the graph. Then modern humans evolved maybe 300,000 years ago, so discard 484.7M years of the graph. Then, realistically its only since the last ice age, i.e. in the last 11,700 years where we have started to populate the Earth.
Speaking of which, 1000 years ago, there were maybe 300M humans; 100 years ago, there was about 1.7B humans; now there is 8B+ humans.
The rate of temp increase will impact many things, over time. The biggest impacts will be sea level rises, bread baskets of the world will move north (51st state & Greenland anyone?); sea will increase in temp impacting fish; access to water etc.. As the graph clearly demonstrates the Earth will be fine as a few centuries is nothing in the greater scheme of things.
It'll take many decades and even centuries, so our generation is fine; all good.
I'm a body shamer too.
"Anyone but Dems"
"It’s finally happened, the Democrats have crossed the line. Zohran Mamdani, a 100% Communist Lunatic, has just won the Dem Primary, and is on his way to becoming Mayor. We’ve had Radical Lefties before, but this is getting a little ridiculous. He looks TERRIBLE, his voice is grating, he’s not very smart, he’s got AOC+3, Dummies ALL, backing him, and even our Great Palestinian Senator, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, is groveling over him. Yes, this is a big moment in the History of our Country!" President Trump
How do humans reverse global warming? If you believe the doom and gloom predictions (most of the short term predictions have not come to fruition), the green energy proposals are trivial and akin to "rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic". If man can truly change the climate the only meaningful way to do it is limit and/or reduce the population by restricting births. Are people really going to support getting rid of the NFL and the NBA?The graph isn't new.

I'm a strong supporter of protections or actions for clean water and air (which we've had great success with), but trying to change climate seems like a fools errand.
I mean... honestly... they just aren't going to learn from their mistakes.

The graph shows the world was much warmer without so called runaway global warming. We have millions of years of hotter, colder, etc and the world did just fine. The theory is this time it will be different if the earth gets warmer?The graph isn't new.

Arable land, water, etc has changed constantly over the life of the earth. Barring some asteroid hitting us, we will adapt to those changes and be fine.
I find myself wondering how the democrats backpedal from this period of history. It has to happen at some point. Do they just wake up and pretend it was all a bad dream like these 3?
I can't remember them ALL!

Obviously, humans are not going to do anything, there's no imminent threat, so no need to bother - I thought I made that clear. The Earth will heat up and future generations will be impacted. Some of that will be natural, and some will have been impacted by the actions of current and past generations (mostly the last 100-150 years).
We don't need to restrict population. We can comfortably feed everyone and there is more than enough room on the planet for the current population and many more billions. We don't obviously do that, but that's not the point, we could if we (collectively) wanted.
No idea how climate change has anything to do with the NFL or NBA!
Weirdly, the covid lockdown climate change experiment had some interesting results
- Major cities saw air pollution drop 20–60%, especially NO₂ and PM2.5 (fine particulate matter).
- Delhi, Beijing, Los Angeles, and Milan recorded their cleanest air in decades.
- Global CO₂ emissions fell by ~7% in 2020, the largest annual drop on record (source: Global Carbon Project).
- Wild animals were spotted more frequently in cities: Coyotes in San Francisco, Deer in Japan and London suburbs, Dolphins near ports with less ship traffic
- Noise pollution dropped significantly in urban and rural areas.
- Birds changed their singing behavior—some sang more softly, others were heard in new places.
- Ocean sound levels dropped due to reduced ship traffic, likely benefiting marine mammals like whales and dolphins.
- Breeding patterns improved in some areas due to quieter environments (e.g., sea turtles nesting on less crowded beaches).
That showed that the Earth will comfortably survive, I suppose. It also showed that you can have a large impact in a short period of time, although the planet will still heat up, so why bother.

It will be different for us - we weren't here for those hundreds of millions of years. That's the point. The planet will be fine with or without us. It doesn't need us ... we need it.
The planet is going through a heating period, and we are contributing to that to some degree. We can do things to negate our impact, but won't. We also won't think of the impacts down the road, 50, 100, 200 years from now because we don't care.
I don't doubt that we will adapt, albeit I expect that adaptation will be a combination of drought, starvation, mass deaths, war, and pestilence. It would be nice to think we're (the human race) better than that, but a quick look around and ... nope, we are not.
It was a sarcastic remark related to birth restrictions. There are a few notable players that have had a lot of kids, with various woman.

Of course I am. It's our patriotic duty to be the best, and if that happens to be in selfishness or short-sightedness or aslongasIgetmine-ness, then so be it.
