Go take ride in your EV.

Humans are certainly capable of changing ecosystems AND conditions in the atmosphere. Nature is a finely tuned system and changing one thing can lead to a cascade of consequences. See the coastal erosion problems we have been facing for decades.

I thought we were talking temperature... i.e. warming. Humans have negligible, if any, impact on that NATURAL phenomenon.

So I guess you have reached the end of your contribution to this discussion.

We have impacts on other natural phenomena but not that one? Is there evidence that we do not impact global climate?

Turbine-Draining aquifers certainly leads to subsidence but that is not the cause of LAs coastal issues. There is no aquifer underlying most of coastal SE LA where the vast majority of wetlands have been lost. Levees not allowing deposition of river silt, channelization of streams and O & G canals allowing saltwater intrusion have slowed deposition so much that it cannot keep up with natural erosion and subsidence.

The reason I brought up coastal land loss and extinctions is to illustrate that, while cycles in nature are normal, humans can and do affect nature. For another example, check out what has happened to the Aral Sea in the last 50-60 years.

I also have two diesel's, rode over a million miles between them, still run great, want to buy?

LOL I guess the EV comment was supposed to be an insult. I am waiting for a solar powered vehicle. With the extra strong sun and all, I will be spending house money.

I should have said something about wind powered car and the hurricane season! Oh well missed opportunity!

Well, baws...if we can hurry up and convert those offshore oil production platforms to windmills, we might be able to save ourselves from these hurricanes.

Let's get on it!

It's amazing how posters with below 500 posts come on here only just to antagonize and aggravate. If only they would post on their real moniker. Trolls like that idiot have nothing better to amuze themselves.

Ehh...doesn't bother me much. At least there's some discussion with graphs and not just Facebook memes. Problem is if we get too far down the road on this, we'll have to kiss the whole thread bye bye.

It's amazing how a poster with below 13000 posts thinks that having a rational discussion about a relevant topic is antagonizing and aggravating. THAT is what is 'amuzing'.
