I’m in Lake County, IL
Yeah, the winters suck, let’s not paint a rosy picture.
Last couple have been mild, but it was a high of –1 °F last Christmas Eve.
So I don’t want to muddy the waters here, because I think we are saying something very similar but it would be reasonable, to me, that the hyperfocus of climate change would be in fact curbing GHGs as there is a causal link between the two.
I’m sure there are a lot of things we don’t know about feedback loops or understand, but what we do know we should account for. My undergrad is in Energy Policy and I’ve worked under some really talented climate scientists so I speak to this with a bit more understanding than the average joe.

As tempted as I am to have a deeper discussion with you on this fascinating subject, and the contribution of other GHGs (both positive and negative effects), water vapor and feedback cycles, etc. etc…I think we will largely agree on everything and I need to remind myself that this is a forum for a video game hahaha.

looool, fair enough.
New York is sinking. But, Chicago sank too and they provided the engineering to raise that city up 6ft back in the 1850s. I believe our technology has advanced enough that we can puzzle out solutions for rising oceans and sinking cities. It’ll be the smaller towns that’ll be impacted most.
Y’all keep freaking out about the temperature yet keep skipping the parts where they say the temperature hasn’t been here since “so and so year”. Which means it’s been there before. Climate changes.
the problem with that is they would need to dig down and go from there it was not like that back in the 1850s where stuff was wood and brick buildings
for anyone want to know also
-1 is nothing… im not sure I put on a jacket for -1
-30F is fun though!
No. They’re saying its not been this hot in so-and-so years because weather records only go back as far as European settlers started recording in the Americas. Anything over roughly 275 years is speculation, they have no idea how hot Texas was in the summer of 1204.

Don’t worry, instead of reining in late stage capitalism that is devastating our planet NASA has come up with a brilliant solution to block the sun with a giant solar sail.

so create a man made iceage lol
Lol. I love and hate the idea. Because we totally need more trash in space, we don’t have enough here to deal with.
Yes, that is true, but technologies like hydro jacking have also come much further. The powerwashing of bedrock away which is instantly replaced by slurry is a powerful tool.
Just like to remind people that CaPiTaLiSm has produced more actual solutions to the climate change issue than the government has.
Also, friendly reminder that the U.S. government is in fact one of the largest emitters of GHGs.
EDIT: It does now appear on the EPA site.

i know but most of the buildings that has a basement is in like a tomb building state
so a wrong move could destroy a section of the building
and dont know where the steel skeleton is bolted onto
This is the part where anti-intellectual jackbooted “conservatives” come in and claim that the very science they’ve always opposed from dawn to dusk will solve all the world’s problems.

That already happened a few responses in XD
I’m not an engineer so I have no idea how hydro jacking would be accomplished in huge structures. I’ve only had it done in my garage where they drilled holes in the concrete pad/floor and injected said slurry. They raised ours 8 inches evened out our floor, in a 2 car garage, because the sandy soil under that part of our house had washed away over 25 years. The garage was literally pulling away from the rest of our foundation/home.
I would imagine there are brains out there to calculate this stuff accordingly for big projects.
same could go for the dems saying we need to ban stuff and they still fly a privet jets
