You want to hear a really good one? It's the woke version. STROKE- an unwanted cranial menstruation.
Our expert in moving the goalposts speaks.
Ok, so now you don't need experimental proof of climate change.
I have to ask, is there any proof that could change your mind or are your views dogma?
You're gonna need a bigger shovel Phil! Barbados needs 1,600 dump trucks... per day!

And if global warming gets any worse, we're gonna have seewead as high as the CN Tower.
Run for the hills, Schlongie. Run as fast as you can!!!
I'm not gonna live long enough for climate change to affect me and no kids. But in my lifetime, sargassum has fucked up a few of my fave winter beaches in the Caribbean and the east coast of Florida. Now my alter cocker granpappy never dun took me to Miami Beach in the 50's so I don't know how bad it was then so I can only speak for the last 20 years. It's gross shit.And if global warming gets any worse, we're gonna have seewead as high as the CN Tower.

I was reading up on it and they say it affects Eastern facing beaches more than Western facing beaches.
So if you were to book a trip to Puerto Rico get a resort in San Juan, not Ponce
EDIT: found this Cancun video from 3 weeks ago. Thats actually not too bad

I don't disagree with that video. But it is a red herring and misleading. It was shot either in Jan or Feb. If a chubby tourist YouTube channel with 945 subscribers is where you have to find something to back up your expertise on declaring sargassum seaweed is not a problem... well...
It is such a problem that there is a pro-Mexican Tourism website just to report and assure the seaweed is not a problem! According to that website, the current conditions are "moderate" and the season doesn't even start until May-June and it is expected to be the WORST IN MEXICAN CARIBBEAN HISTORY.
"Current seaweed conditions in Cancun are moderate, with several beaches affected. However, the Public Services and Federal Maritime Terrestrial Zone (Zofemat) are actively working to keep the beaches clean for visitors. The arrival of seaweed has been earlier than usual, starting in February instead of May or June, likely due to the winds.
While seaweed has been concentrated in Tulum, Cozumel, and El Recodo beach in Playa del Carmen, it has been seen in smaller quantities in other areas. Although specialists predict that this year will see the largest landfall in the history of the Mexican Caribbean, the seaweed in Cancun 2023 remains moderate at the moment, with plans in place to control it."
If such climate change trend continue warming may turn out to be
blessing in disguise in the 22nd century. Earth's crude oil resources will
no longer be cheap and abundant by the middle of this century. Replacement
of fossil fuel by equally cheap and abundant alternative is by no means
certain. Warming could be one positive change needed for seaweed
agriculture to become a badly needed source of nutrition in the post-oil era.

Historically, warming periods were very beneficial for the planet and the human race. They just don't teach history, anymore.

First caption is, literally, "Sargassum is an increasing problem in the Caribbean"Here you go, problem solved
Short story that I know you're not going to believe but anyways.
A beach village in a Caribbean country that I used to rent a place in for a few years had a fucking awful problem with plastic washing up on the beach. The local BIA (as it were) would pay locals to rake it up when it got bad. But otherwise would hope the waves would wash it out to sea.
So I organized a bunch of ex-pats and with a TV production company that was there for several years we raised enough money to buy a tractor and mechanical beach rake. $50k total.
It worked for a year, but the same problem with unreliable local labour and corruption caused its demise by the second year.
Corrupt town gets a new mayor who is actually smart and had great ideas. *Until he eventually succumbed to corruption.
His idea was to put a net across the small tidal creek that went through the village to catch the plastic bags, bottles and shit that the ignorant locals threw in upstream as if it were their own garbage can. That way, the pollution was trapped at the source. Thereby reducing the garbge that washed up on the beach every high tide and especially during the frequent daily summer downpours.
The ocean is not our garbage dump. Just because you don't SEE where the garbage goes, doesn't mean we should throw our waste into the ocean. Smae goe for the air. The sky seems limitless from our perspective, but it isn't.
Do you really think that polluting our water and air does not result in consequences?
Even ignoring that current tides there are almost 1m, I love the way you keep using silly little anecdotes to try and counter masses of actual data.
Twitter =/= science
Of course polluting oceans isnt good. But the debate is whether global warming is going to melt the poles or not, and I call bullshit on that.
You suckers on the Left are being used to raise taxes. You are pawns of the politicians, whether you realize it or not
I'd prefer to be a pawn of left wing politicians to being a pawn for exxon.
There should be a thread on Typhoon Freddy, but it at least deserves a long discussion.
A month long, massive storm.
A month.
Tropical Cyclone Freddy Has Lasted More Than a Month, Potentially Setting New Record
The deadly storm hit Mozambique and Malawi for a second time over the weekend, weeks after it first made landfall in February.

how much of the world's ice is in antarctica - Google Search
- At its thickest point the ice sheet is 4,776 meters deep.
- It averages 2,160 meters thick, making Antarctica the highest continent.
- This ice is 90 percent of all the world's ice and 70 percent of all the world's fresh water.
- Antarctica is the coldest, driest, windiest continent on the planet.
- Temperatures can plummet to -58°F, which is 90°F below freezing (32°F is freezing).
- Antarctica is so cold that most of the ice there never melts;
- the continent is permanently covered in ice.
