Huh. Imagine that.


article said:
As the planet warms, ice caps melt and oceans rise. Scientists feared these islands, many barely peeking above the waves, would be the first to vanish beneath the tides.

Yet when researchers analyzed decades of aerial photos and satellite imagery, they discovered an amazing trend: Most islands have remained stable or even increased in area. The results astonished the scientific community.

Yeah. "Follow the science", LOL. ^_^

Well, we killed all the coral so what could we expect? Except we didn’t kill all the coral and reef building continues in most places. Fast enough to keep up with any sea levels.

Idk, but they say cows are bad because they are responsible for 33 percent of the bad gasses that creates global warming.
And you will need to eat bugs in the future to avoid cows.
Like if God didn't create the cows, supposedly these people are smart.

Who knew that killing off the Bison a century and a half ago (they are ruminants too) would be so good for the environment?

What if we kill off all the cattle and let the prairies go wild. Do we have to prevent the Bison from coming back? Deer and antelope produce methane too. Do we have to kill them off?

Wetlands create a lot of methane too. Should we drain them all?

Yum. Not.

I recall the words of the American officer during the battle of Ben Tre in 1968: "It was necessary to destroy the village in order to save it." :rolleyes:
