You're right Bob.
I'm an oldie but goodie.
And after I'm gone, I couldn't give two snots about anything.
You run your house (life) in order while you're alive, AKA put some money away for your affairs (not insurance premiums), and leave as gracefully as possible.
Holy mackeral batman!
😱
I went fishin' once....
The only thing I ever caught was a cold.
I could see it too well ~2006, after hurricane Delta and the (then) largest forest fire in Tenerife (Canary Islands). Hence emigration so I escaped the 2009 heatwave in the Canaries (45C daytime, 30C night time), not long ago livable without air conditioner. But once in Panama, already ~2008 I noticed my (then 9 yr old) car engine started overheating. The modern version of that car is factory fitted with a more powerful cooling system (that won't be advertised). Then the fireflies started to disappear and at night there are no insects either: the once abundant large moths disappeared as well. Being familiar with feedback loops, delay, overshoot etc. I could figure it out long ago. But the speed of change (always faster than expected) keeps surprising.
.. Some vulcanoes release more Co2 than all of man';s emissions. So much for Co2 being the cause of climate. FACT....Co2 has never ever led climate anywhere in any ice core or other proxy record. Co2 lags behind climate by around 800 years. Co2 is the effect of climate..
I read that in the comments of some climate discussion. It looks like climate science is absolutely similar to Audio. A lot of amateurs and some shady 'industry" practices.
Being a climate skeptic in Academia is equal to willingly spreading syphilis or HIV. There is absolutely no place for discussion and it's an almost religious cult.
Funny, there are "how-to" manuals online explaining how to deal with "climate deniers"
I may really get into fishing.

Like you said....”let the orchestra play”!
No reason to get all wadded up about something the little people have no control over anyhow.
Oh btw.....it’s only a depressing activity if you do it wrong!

Now tell me Bob , where are all the good places in FL to have a decent pan fried fish without spending a steak money? I'ts my constant grief with US lake/seasides that there is simply no place to have a good fresh fried fish. Just a pan, a bit of oil , some (not too much) flour to bread the fish (no fillets please) salt &pepper and a piece of real bread. Umm. The simplest , the best, yet almost impossible to get unless you DIY . I was thinking of setting up a kiosk and selling fried fish wrapped in WAPO or NYT "paper" Just that and a french roll and pickle on a side if needed .Same way I was buying fish in 70's back in Eastern Europe wrapped in communists propaganda papers 🙂
One sure way to correlate the two (carbon dioxide and global temp) is to compare the measured record. Carbon dioxide did increase sharply in last 60 years but the global temperature hasn't. IOW, those two aren't in sync.
In that case, it's the nature that's doing it.
Co2 has increased sharply but it only accounts for 3.4% of greenhouse gasses so it can't produce a sharp increase by any stretch. That's why the priests of climate change can still profit from offering a salvation. It is every church strategy in the human history . You pay and you will live , you don't and the hell fires will consume your soul but first you will see your children perish . The fried corpses of children are the end argument in our culture. . The mainstream press is using that meme over and over and over again. the academic community has no morals at all. Scheming , back stabbing , infighting, gossip and innuendos are rampant.

Another difference was that the increase of GHG happened over (much) more time so more opportunity for some species to adapt.
All species have a limited life span. There is the case for out of nowhere asteroid which passed close by the earth recently. We are born and die randomly. Although a propaganda of imminent doom and salvation in the hands of high priests of science has a 10 thousands years of precedents I'm still willing to believe it may be true . That's why I go to church every other Sunday. After all the clergy was the most educated class in its time.
"Now look a bit closer at the bottom of the graphic. See how all of a sudden, around 150 years ago, the dotted line depicting average Earth temperature changes to a solid line. Munroe makes this change because the data used to create the lines come from two very different sources.
The solid line comes from real data — from scientists actually measuring the average temperature of Earth's surface. These measurements allow us to see temperature fluctuations that occur over a very short timescale — say, a few decades or so.
But the dotted line comes from computer models — from scientists reconstructing Earth's surface temperature. This gives us very, very coarse information. It averages Earth's temperature over hundreds of years. So we can see temperature fluctuations that occur only over longer periods of time, like a thousand years or so. Any upticks, spikes or dips that occur in shorter time frames get smoothed out.
So in a way the graphic is really comparing apples and oranges: measurements of the recent past versus reconstructions of more ancient times."

Of course it is. It has all the necessary elements . The priests offering a salvation , the devotees/believers , the Satan (big oil) and the fallen angels and apostates . The scripture that most/all are not able to decipher and the impeding doomsday . The kings , barons and the financiers are mostly on the board if a little skeptical. The prophets and martyrs are appearing. Its beautiful how it unfolds.We are lucky to live and witness it indeed.
I don't believe there are any no matter what you are willing to spend. When you are there just eat shrimp and be happy
Yeah , I noticed this when I was there . To be fair , you can have a $30 fish dish with nice (but rather modest )piece of fine fish embellished in some fancy sauce and prepared in semi french , semi Italian manner but I'm not talking about that.
Uh, not really - most of us modern day homo sapiens simply have a problem conceiving of the time and distances involved in celestial mechanics. Our galaxy is really expletive deletedly big, and is itself only a tiny grain of sand in the universe the scale of which we are beginning to understand.
