Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

America loves a winner!
Quote: A professor is blaming climate change and overpopulation for the creation of the terrorist group ISIS. Charles Strozier, Professor of History and the founding Director of the John Jay College Center on Terrorism and Kelly Berkell, research assistant at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice, wrote a blog piece in the Huffington Post called “ How Climate Change Helped ISIS,” where they argue that a four-year drought in Syria, from 2006 through 2010, “devastated the livelihoods of 800,000 farmers and herders; and knocked two to three million people into extreme poverty.” "If more Americans knew how glacial melt contributes to catastrophic weather in Afghanistan—potentially strengthening the Taliban and imperiling Afghan girls who want to attend school—would we drive more hybrids and use millions fewer plastic bags? How would elections and legislation be influenced?" Tweet This “As the Obama administration undertakes a highly public, multilateral campaign to degrade and destroy the militant jihadists known as ISIS, ISIL and the Islamic State,” the two write, “many in the West remain unaware that climate played a significant role in the rise of Syria's extremists.” “Many became climate refugees,” Strozier and Berkell write. The pair offer a call to action for Americans to consider the link between melting glaciers and a stronger Taliban. “If more Americans knew how glacial melt contributes to catastrophic weather in Afghanistan—potentially strengthening the Taliban and imperiling Afghan girls who want to attend school—would we drive more hybrids and use millions fewer plastic bags? How would elections and legislation be influenced?” they write. “While ISIS threatens brutal violence against all who dissent from its harsh ideology, climate change menaces communities (less maliciously) with increasingly extreme weather.” Neither Strozier or Berkell are climate scientists according to an article inClimate Depot. Strozier is a practicing psychoanalyst in New York City andBerkell has a history of securities and corporate litigation. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/charles-b-strozier/how-climate-change-helped_b_5903170.html

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

Quote:Originally posted by SIGNYM: Yes, meanwhile... to repeat a point... that apparent "pause" in global warming ... the one rappy made such a fuss about not two months back... was ended as 2014 will become the hottest year ever recorded, tying the old record of 1998. There is evidence abounding of global climate change - warmer GLOBAL temperatures (not your backyard, rappy! The world average.) Melting Arctic ice. (Yep, it's still melting. Far much less ice than ... say ... 50 years ago). Melting glaciers. Melting permafrost. Melting ice shields in Greenland and the Antarctic. Yes, sometimes the warming pauses, or the ice rebuilds, but not to the point where it re-traces its steps to 50 or 100 years ago. Small reversals that people like to take comfort in, because it gives their denial another day of existence.
