Just wait until the usual paranoid conspiracy theorist is back to tell us about how the western states are here to usurp the Great Lakes. And how this is the tipping point.

Climate Change might be the most perfect herring ever invented. It covers ever possibility and allows Gore and all elites to preach as they jet around. Even if you get everyone to agree you can’t even fix it. :lol:

The most active thing I have seen discussed, and barely at that, was a pipeline from the mouth of Mississippi and this might show a potential long term flaw of that (Beyond how much energy it would take to pump water over the Continental divide). Guess I'm glad I sell our grain for local consumption.

We are only down about 8 inches of depth up here which is far from historic and driving over near the QC you would never think it is low, but I think the Illinois, Ohio and Missouri are running lower than usual so the further downstream you get the worse it gets and 8 inches lower than normal on all the feeder rivers adds up.

Is the Mississippi historically low? Are you now going to say you weren't suggesting it was and using that as evidence of Climate Change?

Is "we can't ship goods down the Mississippi River" a problem? I think it is. And I think it's a bigger problem for The People, the good Americans, than it is for the bad ones who just work in HR and make TikToks. You can't report a commodity to HR.

We lose most of our crops, notably corn and soybeans, but we also lose St. Louis so there is a silver lining.

St Louis, like Florida and Ohio, serve the very important purpose of housing people of the ilk who would voluntarily reside in those hells. If you lose St Louis (or Florida or Ohio), the people who used to live there might end up moving in next door and there goes the neighborhood. Nothing kills property values of a neighborhood faster than an Ohioan, Floridian or St. Loozian moving in.

I don't think there's much to sell, at least legally. The so-called "Chicago diversion", which appears to be mostly used to flush the collective toilet of Chicago, has been litigated and limited first by the Supreme Court and most recently codified by the Great Lakes Compact. Might be able to legally sell up the limit of the diversion; but then you'd have to find a way to transport Chicago's shit downstate, which currently happens via the diversion feeding the Chicago river and dumping Chicago's shit all over downstate.

I read it. You're doing that thing that all Climate Alarmists do. Anything that could possibly be construed as evidence of Climate Change is proof that we must radically reduce our standards of living and give more power to a certain class of people. Anything that suggests the opposite is dismissed. For example, "Weather is NOT climate" until weather can be used to support your demands for drastic action in response to Climate Change.

Can we agree the Mississippi is not currently historically low?

Do you think that climate change increases the probability of extreme weather like hurricanes and drought or not? And where did I say that "we must radically reduce our standards of living and give more power to a certain class of people?" I ask because I'm quite certain I've said nothing of the kind here. I also ask because we had this precise exchange not too long ago in another thread, where I outlined pretty clearly what steps I thought should be taken immediately in response to climate change, and none of them are what you describe above. And finally, I also ask because climate change is already impacting the standard of living for many in the U.S., yet you continue to pretend that it is only "radical" responses to climate change that will do so.

I don't know, but if that's your main indicator then we probably aren't experiencing climate change because there aren't more hurricanes or "more intense" hurricanes than there ever were.

How significant is the human impact on climate change? That answer is all over the place. It is hard to figure out what data is objective. Why? It is rare for someone to pay for a study and publish results that are different than the ones they desired.

They've been keeping track going back to the turn of the 20th Century. In fact, this was an extremely slow hurricane season. I suppose that fact itself might be evidence of climate change. I'm sure it's evidence for Climate Change.

I don't know. I don't claim to know. But what I'm against is making snap decisions that drastically alter our lives and society the way we did to "fight COVID." Because you see where we are now with that. Those that made the mistakes suffer no consequences and are just allowed to shrug and maybe say "sorry." Maybe.

Our capitalist society has always done this. In fact, it demands it. Our world and its technology looks drastically different every 10 to 15 years. The cries of the older generation are drowned out by the excitement from the "kids".

If I'm not mistaken, by the time we're about 25, we are older than most of the people in the world. We're old as fuck. No one gives a shit about our dislike of change beyond a politician pandering for our vote.

But we do know that sea level is rising and that damage from coastal storms, including hurricanes, is therefore likely to become more severe and costly in the coming decades. So should "we" as a society continue to use public resources to rebuild along vulnerable coastlines for the disproportionate benefit of wealthy property owners? And what should we do about an urban area like New Orleans that sits below sea level? Are we going to use expensive coastal armoring strategies to address issues there?

People with money understand this as well. It's why in many of these areas, they are raising the rent and other costs to drive out the poor and lower middle class.

Edit: who live off the coast

Do you think that climate change increases the probability of extreme weather like hurricanes


I don't know, but if that's your main indicator then we probably aren't experiencing climate change because there aren't more hurricanes or "more intense" hurricanes than there ever were.


How do you know that?



They've been keeping track going back to the turn of the 20th Century. In fact, this was an extremely slow hurricane season. I suppose that fact itself might be evidence of climate change. I'm sure it's evidence for Climate Change.


Your facts don't seem to be quite right. I'm pretty sure hurricane frequency in the North Atlantic has increased in 1980, though this increase is not currently linked to climate change. The frequency of "intense" hurricanes is expected to increase as climate change intensifies.

You see Fauci say he had nothing to do with the school closures and he didn't want to say it was a mistake on this week?
