Well, to be honest we're basically at a point of no return.
But the biggest impact us the people can make is voting for people who are pro-environment.
Other than that, things like going vegetarian and cutting back on using motor vehicles (which are quite frankly too drastic of changes for a vast amount of people to make) is really all we can do, but really wouldnt help much at this point.
Yeah, right. Be realistic and sensible. But use birth control.We are all doomed. But the end won't come until after this upcoming college football season, so enjoy!

I know I may sound like Dock Ellis running our of left field here, but do any of you guys or girls ever worry about losing the program to rising sea levels. I was reading an article about rising sea levels and what the world will look like in the future and Miami is up there with a lot of popular places that would be first to go if an event were to happen. I know its not going to happen tomorrow or next year, but ten, twenty or even fifty years from now we could be talking about the city of Miami like it was Atlantis. Just look at a picture of the shore line on South Beach from the 60's or 70's and compare it to what it looks like now and the evidence is there. I sometimes worry that I will have to tell my grand children about the greatest college football team of all time and how the city it is located in no longer exist. What are your thoughts, concerns or criticisms about the subject?

Unfortunately, most likely yes. However the point of my post wasnt to inspire everyone here to do something about it.So there's absolutely nothing you or anyone else can do about it other than sit and wring your hands over it.
Got it.
The fact that you put pants on in the first place tells me you have bigger issues than seal levels.Jesus.....i'm rolling my pants up as I respond....
Actually, USSR and KGB, but you are close. I remember in the 70’s it was new ice age and save the trees. So plastic bags replaced paper and we stopped using spay cans. I guess that worked. For me, our home is on that ridge that runs down FL east coast. I am looking forward to owning ocean front property. All Cane welcome for beach parties.
Very good post. The climate has cycled since the beginning of time, both hot and cold. Of course we all should be conscience of pollutants and emmisions, etc but the cycles will continue as they always have. It's also ironic that you mention limestone base and CO2 dispersement, I treat drinking water and we use limestone to precipitate the CO2 in ground water. This raises the PH and reduces calcium and magnesium, basically softening.It’s a thing because it’s it’s always been a thing. With or without man.
Seas wIll rise and retreat many times in the future. The cycle will repeat itself many times in the future, just like in the past.
Florida has been underwater many times through the eons.. That’s just a fact. Why do you think the base in south Florida is limestone? Limestone is dead sea animals.
It’s a cycle in climate. Just like ice ages.
Should we try to transition reasonably and logically to renewable energy sources? Of course. But nobody is stopping the inevitable natural cycles.
Like I said before, unless China and all the third world countries that contribute to most of the emissions do something...CO2 output into the atmosphere will not appreciably change. And even if they do, which they aren’t, it’s debatable it would change anything to an amount which would result in the change of inevitable cycles.
People are conflating things and assuming a changeable cause and effect.
