Guess I wouldn't know haven't watched MSM regularly in about 15 years now. They were reporting a bit of extreme weather events back then. Maybe that's changed.
We have more information flowing around now than in the past. Extreme weather events have been occurring since the beginning of time. I do think there's more freakish events now than a generation ago, but think this needs to be balanced by the understanding that there's more coverage in media by whatever means, and some people have an agenda to focus on these events painting a story that might not reflect reality.

You realize the "death of our planet" is probably an exaggeration, right? Do you truly believe a Venus scenario is likely? It's possible, but there's nothe much indication that it's going to happen, and yes I've read most of your threads and am aware of Mr jumping Jack flash.

People don't wanna change, there is to much luxury to loose.
And they do not like to be told to change, then they start shouting about rights and freedom stuff.
Taxes are not going to do much if anything.
Animals mass dying... it happens every year, it has become normal, so it's just nature doing natural things, they say.
I wonder at what point will people finally be ready to sacrifice.
What exactly do you think we need to sacrifice? Aren't there changes that can be made without draconian new laws and taxes?
How about gasoline. That's just one.

What is the alternative technology? CNG might work, but there aren't any good techs ready to go right now.

I was speaking of mass kills of sea life and not weather extremes. I am sure there are records of these sorts of events as well. I just do not claim to have reviewed them or to know what such a review would show.

Venus is not going to happen, but an enormously smaller level of climate change is enough to extinguish successful technological human civilization.

Sorry, but record keeping has been going on since 1880 in regards to weather events and everything is telling us that yes, indeed, there are much more extremes now than a generation ago. This isn't due to better media coverage.

What are you sorry about? You're in no way refuting my words. Did you have trouble comprehending them? Apparently 5 people who stared you post did as well.

I don't believe that. I believe they have been ready but delayed for the sake of the billions in profits from oil and gas. We are far beyond technological achievement to have made some of these alt energy sources more efficient by now. No, O&G has a stranglehold on us all.
