........ that most of the planet doesn't have easy access to.
Think on it. As I said, people 25 years from now will be saying the exact same thing you said. "Oh, those poor people dying at a measly 85 years of age. They must have been living in abject misery."
Think on it.
Yeah, gardening is soooo tough. We supply our own veggies for the year and we're doing it the same way that's been done for thousands of years.
Life expectancy is dropping from there being too much easy food and leisure time.
Penicillin isn't hard to come by. It's easy travel to get it is what they lack.
You can drive to get it because of oil. They have to walk.

So come up with better. And give it to the 7 billion others on the planet.
Where? Doesn't look like it's dropping in Canada: https://www.google.ca/#q=Canada+lif...5ISk7QCdN1dvTQrt6T8bGCwaL7Hr-p0HQBd7uSNRAEAAA
Exactly. So what good is the technology to them?
Thanks for supporting my comments.
Like beer that people had to drink for thousands of years because water killed them or how about milk?
We have more forest cover now than 100 years ago in Southern Ontario. Farmers took great pride in having removed all the tree from the land but then the winds came and they decided to let some grow back for windbreaks and firewood.
Yes that must be nice LG. For real. A family garden is a nice way to subsidize veggies.
But try living off it.
The plastic garbage patch sucks I agree. But its not polio and the black death. Its not burying half your children because of the flu.
99% of all species are extinct. That's been going on for billions of years.
That's my point; we ARE living off it. We don't buy veggies. Every crop is produced from seeds the previous crop produced and occasionally we buy more seeds.
I agree about those things. Unfortunately, it is killing sealife and so are the other 4 or 5 garbage patches and who knows, perhaps it is hatching its own nasty diseases.
Yes, I already said that, but this sort of extinction hasn't happened for 65 million years and never in the known past has it happened at such a fast rate. If it doesn't stop everything will be dead in about 130 years.
So basically you are saying you're Irish.
You don't have to use corn. No wonder barley sales are so good to people with pet horses. Having some hi-test aroumd would mean you could make your beer or wine any strength you wanted, consistently. Shirley Temple strength for that obnoxious uncle amd porch climber strength for everybody else
Scientists...and those who read science related topics. Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words...not even a phrase coined by a scientist, but rather a journalist, but true enough anyways.
I'm sure you'd call me a warmist, but I read it. For the most part I actually agree. I don't think you can say climate change caused the flooding and wet conditions this season over on your side of the pond. Weather has a distribution of normal events...now the distributions change so you can say something becomes more likely to happen in a warmer climate, that's not controversial. It is though to say climate change caused one seasons weather. Weather is far too variable to attribute like that. At some point in the future it may be possible to say that a seasons weather would not have been likely without significant climate change, but that would require huge changes in the distribution, think of shifting the bell curve very far in one direction.
However, there is one bone of contention I have with the article. The forecast had low confidence, only 25% in drier than normal conditions. That does not mean that they were calling a dry season likely. When they said the dryness was related to the NAO conditions they forecast, what is likely in such a case is drier than normal conditions. That is true. But that is not the same thing as saying drier conditions were likely to occur. It's a significant difference, and it's supposed to be why scientists use such careful wording in communications. If I had to review that statement, I would have suggested different wording to be sure. I don't think they communicated very clearly for the public.
Does anyone remember the acid rain hysteria of the Seventies, Eighties and Nineties? I remember being taught about acid rain at secondary school, in which we were told that it was killing the trees on our planet and that, if we don't act, there will eventually be no trees left.
Strangely enough, it's been a hell of a long time indeed since there has been any mention of acid rain. It seems to have, riather suspiciously, been "forgotten" about.
I've got a feeling th Global Warming hysteria will go the same way by the end of this decade.
The acid rain hysteria of the Eighties and Nineties told us us the world's trees are being destroyed. Nobody mentions it now.

Yes, the rivers in Southwest Nova Scotia which have poor buffering capacity were damaged, including runs of endangered Atlantic salmon.
It's been forgotten, because of tougher environmental regulation that targeted the industrial emissions that create acid rain. The problem had a solution. :roll:
For the record, I don't post these articles by promotion. I do not even believe myself that we are necessarily experiencing all weather events as some human induced shift in climate. The point is simply to continue the conversation in the hopes of reaching a mutual consensus. It will take a long time to sort this all out, but it won't be for naught if everyone is open to a critical, but fair discussion.
I agree 100% that we are in an interglacial period with a major geomagnetic shift altering ocean currents and jet streams.For the record, I don't post these articles by promotion.
