So, do we delete all his propaganda, or leave it up for others to see how dumb it was?

I would assume delete it as it already served its purpose.

Let’s not be part of spreading anti-science garbage. Delete it all.

I was under the impression that it was pro-science!

Oddly enough this doesn’t appear to be true.

Many posts nuked, it was the only way to be sure.

Communist moderators. How nice.

LOL no posts from 2013 until today. What country are you from, "red_Eyes_Bot"?

Hi Fixupost. You're banned. l8r

So-called EPA Chief Administrator Scott Pruitt concedes that the climate is changing and that humans play a role, but who knows if that's bad or good? After all, we know that humans have flourished during what -- warming trends. facepalm.jpg

Look at the icebergs, lol global warming

Sure, the climate is changing, but not cuz humans, lol cow farts watchgonnado

Okay okay, humans contribute, but gimme that old-time warming, it was good enough for ice-agers, it's good enough for me

Welp, looks like it might be bad, but who knew? No worries, we'll figure it out in the future once we get coal rolling again and quash these regs holding us down.

Cows are responsible for about 20% of warming. What are you going to do?

here we go...

I’m not giving up red meat so cow genocide is out of the question. Maybe find a way to light their farts to get rid of the gas before it can destroy the atmosphere? Actually that probably won’t help because of the carbon dioxide.

Burning methane is much better than just releasing it, but I was talking about not eating red meat.

Tight ship. *salute*

No expert, but I know enough to realize beef is probably a poor food choice from a moral perspective. I was vegetarian for a while (inspired by Diet for a Small Planet) and still rarely eat beef of my own volition, but I'm definitely lazier and weaker now (chronic olds syndrome).

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. Any reduction in food consumption that greatly affects global warming is a good thing.

Similar story here. I was a vegetarian for about 10 years. I eat meat now a few times a week and try to make it mostly chicken, which I think is the least bad environmentally - although I eat dairy most days though I do go through some almond/soy milk phases.

How much of your daily protein consumption are you willing to give up?

You’re asking the guy who’s been a vegetarian for twenty years?

It's perfectly possible for bodybuilders to get enough protein from a vegan diet. Normal people with much lower requirements shouldn't have any problems provided they put a bit of effort in.

Environmetalists: Endangered Butterfly Threatened by TRUMP's Wall

Quote:

A small butterfly native to southern California and northwestern Mexico could be threatened by President Donald Trump's proposed border wall.


The Quino checkerspot butterfly was once common to the area but has seen its habitat eroded over the past century and is now listed as an endangered species, according to the Center for Biological Diversity. It's one of the species listed in a lawsuit brought against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security by the center and other environmental groups over the wall.

Environmentalists claim the butterfly and a number of other species, including the Riverside fairy shrimp and the Pacific pocket mouse, could be in trouble if the Trump administration goes through with its plan to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

"It really can't fly above around 15 feet above the ground," J.P. Rose, a staff attorney for the Center for Biological Diversity, told ABC affiliate KGTV in San Diego. "So if you put in a 30- to 40-foot wall along the border, the ability of it to migrate from northern Mexico to the U.S. is going to be impossible."

Global Extinction Rates: Why Do Estimates Vary So Widely

Quote:

Most ecologists believe that we are in the midst of the sixth mass extinction. Humanity’s impact on nature, they say, is now comparable to the five previous catastrophic events over the past 600 million years, during which up to 95 percent of the planet’s species disappeared. We may very well be. But recent studies have cited extinction rates that are extremely fuzzy and vary wildly.

The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, which involved more than a thousand experts, estimated an extinction rate that was later calculated at up to 8,700 species a year, or 24 a day. More recently, scientists at the U.N. Convention on Biological Diversity concluded that: “Every day, up to 150 species are lost.” That could be as much as 10 percent a decade.

But nobody knows whether such estimates are anywhere close to reality. They are based on computer modeling, and documented losses are tiny by comparison. Only about 800 extinctions have been documented in the past 400 years, according to data held by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Out of some 1.9 million recorded current or recent species on the planet, that represents less than a tenth of one percent.

One of the many reasons why extinction rates are a bugger to work out is we don't have a hard and fast definition of what a species is. There are umpteen different working definitions out there.

Confirming an extinction can't be easy and it has happened that species thought to be extinct have turned out not to be. It's a stupid diversion though.

Play around with this map http://www.globalforestwatch.org/map...t_analyze=true for a minute and tell me you think that it's anything other than ridiculous to come in here with some propaganda about 800 extinctions in the last 400 years pretending that that's making some kind of a point.

Watched Chasing Ice and Chasing Coral on Netflix. I'm likely being a bit pessimistic but it seems like there is no hope for saving our planet.
