For the completely brain/soul dead there's no point in trying to talk reason, they're well past that. But for those who still think life is a good thing, think about the implications of this. http://neven1.typepad.com/.a/6a0133f03a1e37970b0176176f80eb970c-pi This is how radically our world is...

Only idiots or psychopaths keep claiming this isn't happening and/or that we're not responsible. Arctic Connections: Arctic Sea Ice Reaches Record Low | Vancouver Sun Arctic sea ice extent now at record low levels | Bad Astronomy | Discover Magazine Look at this map...

We keep being told over and over that there is no viable alternative to fossil fuels to power our society. Solar doesn't do it, it just has about 26% capacity the same for wind and tidal. Biomass doesn't do it, it needs too much land and resources to effectively replace coal, oil and gas...

Thorium(Th-90) is one one of the most abundant elements of it's type(actinides) and although it's not fissile, it is fertile. This means it can readily be converted into fissile material(U-233) in the presense of the kind of radiation found in a nuclear reactor. It can be placed as solid rods in...

Every year more than 1,000,000 people die from the air pollution produced by burning fossil fuels. WHO | Air quality and health

If they're saying it then they're thinking about it, it not like these things don't happen or there isn't a certain percentage of the population just waiting for the chance to let the destructive side out. Not by choice. Most people would prefer to have input into laws and policies that...

I think it was Praxius who wants to kill off all scientists, I think it's important to be clear that mass murder is a bad thing. We're not helpless in a democracry, my credo is plan for the best then work as hard as you can to make it a reality. I think it's a by-product of letting...

We have a different perspective on things. Killing people off indirectly is far different from advocating planned mass murder. I'm a believer in the democratic process, it takes time to produce results, been when motivated it can inact impressive changes. Yupe, some of the biggest swindles...

Yes the ice is going to float around, most of it heads south where it melts quicker. The Artic ice pack isn't mostly accumulated from calved icebergs, it's the result of compacted single year sea ice...hence the multi-year name. And if the warming is significant enough in the Arctic the ocean...

People who don't understand the difference between a discussion point and a death threat don't belong as part of a discussion forum...or a civil society for that matter. BTW Suzuki isn't my god, he's a celebrity and I'm not even particularly a fan of his show. It's the science I'm concerned...

Just trying to keep it clear, which can be a full time task here with some of the more creative posters. I forget what the point was and I'm too lazy at the moment to go all the way back so I'll just say "yes it is" Of course the ice breaks off and melts in the ocean, there's also some...

Excellent post. While climate change is an very imprtant issue, so is treating the world as a desposable resource. We're part of the overall system and if we stress it to the breaking point with our highly complex society we'll probably be the first to go. The world will recover slowly, but...

I'm not advocating a reduction in population, I'm saying based on the current direction we're going the world's major nations are already preparing for wars that will kill many of us in a fight for dwindling resources as the worst effects of climate change kick in...especially when it comes to...

I'm not going to waste anymore time on anyone here who advocates homicide of anyone as an option for todays issues. bye, bye psycho

There's some very credible information that a very narrow sector of society is locking us into a scenario that could make long term survival for us all very iffy...THAT"S ARROGANCE!

I don't know anyone who's serious about responsible mitigation proposing culling people. I do know from sources like this: Climate Wars: How Peak Oil and the Climate Crisis Will Change Canada (And ... - Gwynne Dyer - Google Books Who claim that government organizations including militaries...

You always get the summer melting, in some years more than others. The main thing to keep your eyes on is the much thicker and stable multi-year ice pack which provides a base for the yearly sea ice to form on. In recent decades the multi-year ice has declined in average thickness and overall...

So it's fine for the version of reality that's based almost exclusively on politics and money to trump the facts? Reality doesn't go away because some people spin it to the point it no longer makes sense to many people. The reality behind the facts is still there, constantly shooting the...

More false choice BS, there are effective alternatives. The real issue is that the companies and individuals that now enjoy a captive energy market will lose it. Many of the new technologies that are ready to replace fossil fuels can be locally accessed and controlled. So by creating a new...

It's not about giving up, it's about changing, something we're supposed to be naturals at. And the evidence indicates that if we keep going down the road we're on then we're most likely going to lose everything we have anyway. People can't live without food, water and homes for long. This...
