It doesn’t matter if it’s man made or natural change, it’s going to cause food shortages and other hardships.

That's more problem, what's the solution to the problem?

Rain , there is no other solution to a drought.I believe it was mentioned.

So if I stop denying there's a climate disaster taking place it will start raining more?

So since I'm not convinced the world coming to an end, that makes me a racist. Gotcha.


No, but plenty of people on your side of the political spectrum are, and the climate change they're in denial of will only bring more people they hate and fear into their lives.

That's some mighty ripe propaganda lol.


Don't know many - if any - people on the left spewing racial hate. Last time I checked, the "Replacement Theory" was a creation of the right.

Only if you are emitting greenhouse gases.
The hotter it gets ,the more droughts we have.

When you don't have an answer, post links to several long articles.

No, that's called being thorough in your argument.

Maybe Glitch doesn’t like reading long articles he disagrees with. :lol:
I’ll trust the science behind the articles , instead of an opinion.
Where I live used to be zone 6 for growing.Now we are zone 7.One zone warmer.
And it’s so hot and dry it’s killed off all the ticks.This should be the height of tick season and there aren’t any.

No I'd rather talk to someone than be handed homework assignments. Is that how you discuss things in real life, hand someone some magazines to read?

It’s a good idea to familiarize oneself with research when it comes to topics like this one. This board is not really about idle chitchat.

How about the notion of just answering a question or admitting you don't know the answer?

Why deal with all those pesky facts when people can simply ignore them and make up their own factoids to "prove" their favorite lies?  Why take delight in agreeing with what has already been proven by methodical scientific research, when people can take even more delight in pretending to have "special" knowledge that not even our brightest scientists and highest-placed government workers know anything about?

:roll: That's sarcasm, TP!

For some, it is much more rewarding to spread doubt and fear than to face reality head-on.

In school they handed us books to learn from.They had this thing called facts in them.Talk is cheap.
I read the articles I post and the graphs.
It’s not that difficult.
My neighbor did leave me some good magazines, Smithsonian, The Atlantic ,I will read them.
I might actually hand them a book or magazine ,if it has an article backing up my point.

It seems to me you were posting links rather than answering the question as a deflection.

Very colorful. I was just asking what the solution is in whoever's opinion. I hear plenty about the problem, but virtually nothing about the solution. I'll ask you the same question, and I'll be surprised if I get a straightforward concise answer.
