Here comes the pivot: "First COVID, then climate change. Nursing homes aren't prepared." (archive.fo)

As a person from the North, I would like this global warming to finally happen so I can spend less time shoveling my driveway.

To be honest, I've been spending the past several years noticing how much more mild the winters have been, how warm it seems to be in December, and the fact that I am shoveling my driveway less than expected.

haven't had to fire up the snowblower this half of the year, maybe i will the first half of next.

But we're not seeing either wild oscillations in the jet stream (I know, I've lived under one my whole life and it breaks above my head and diverts bad weather around where I live.), nor are we seeing any difference in sunspot activity.

The way it was record warm at Christmas in the South, if you bump in to a liberal anymore they go on about how this is going to be normal because we drive cars, etc. etc. Then next week when it's cold they will forget about it again.

Can't kill more old people if we already killed all of the old people! (cuomotappinghead.jpg)

Look...

I have repeatedly defended the point that Climate Change is a significant issue... particularly in regards to food/water security which will generate destabilization and refugee problems.

Climate Change is not causing nursing home spikes.

If you cared about not killing grandma, you wouldn't have put covid patients and felons in her nursing home, and you would have done something about obesity.

I don't know what you say when you say "control knob".

CO2 is one of many different elements that can effect the atmosphere. It's not even the worst greenhouse gas, it just happens to be one of the most plentiful of gasses. That gives it a significant effect on containing heat within the rest of the planet and the water. Have had an education in physics (rather than chemistry), every single physicist explained climate change to me along the lines of thermodynamics more than anything else. Not only does a thicker layering of CO2 help to warm the air, it also helps to warm the water and that's where your most serious weather effects are going to come from by shifting rain fall pasterns, moving ocean currents, and allowing the water to store more energy in the form of heat, which allows for heavier rains.

When it comes to planetology, CO2 is a major factor in stabalizing an atmosphere. One of the reasons Mars basically doesn't have an atmosphere is because it's magnetosphere is so weak, and it's gravity also so weak, that it can't actually contain a lot of the necessary gasses that it needs to develop a thicker atmosphere capable of sustaining life on the surface.

If your issue is with CO2 is that it's thermodynamic nonsense, then there's something you're missing from your calculation.

It reminds me of 3 hour argument I had with a creationist who was in our physics class, along with my physics professor and one of our top students. He asserted that star formation was impossible because gravity was a weaker force than the nuclear force. ... that's true generally, but it's not true at scale. That's why you need enormous amounts of mass to congregate around a single spot in order to make the material collapse into creating fusion. All of the material on the entire Earth is not enough. You need thousands of Earth's worth of material to cause star formation to happen.

But he got stuck at: "It's a weaker force", and wouldn't move from it.Like this guy

To me, the thing you said was "400ppm trace gas" and it makes me think you're just hearing that it's not a lot of gas in a room, therefore it shouldn't have an effect. After all, when was the last time anyone died of CO2 poisoning in a closed room just because they were sitting in it exhaling?

Okay, so your position is "shut the fuck up warmist" then you should have said that in the first place instead of asking me a question.

I read it, I just didn't feel it was worth my time to argue with you since your position is mostly about mocking me. Why should I even contemplate a discussion with you?

Go be fat somewhere else.

Yeah, all is right but I dont think you read the linked post, she was complaining about her sisters nursing home in a hurricane in NY, and comparing the close to water level apartments that were flooded as a result, worrying that it could have been her sister's nursing home next.

Fair enough, but I think the larger issue is New York Cities lack of proper water management. Climate Change will eventually effect that, but most of NYC is a shithole at the moment.

Late summer's Hurricane Ida ushered in bad weather in the northeast, drowning 11 people in New York City basement apartments.

I imagined storm surge flooding my sister’s nursing home in Rockaway. Her coastal facility escaped unharmed. This time.

And yet instead of getting her sister out of the dangerous hospital system, she WRITES AN ARTICLE ABOUT IT.

lmao. genz/millennial culture in a nutshell. whine about problems for e-creds without doing anything about them.

Some may have died, but if they hadn't been vaxxed it could have been worse.
