@ThinkingOutLoud   You have no idea if things will be a lot better by then.

 

Anymore than I can say things will be a lot worse by then.

 


 I stand by what I said. Wish these boards allowed more explanation.


Well we'll all be dead by then.

@ThinkingOutLoud   You POV is fine, it is how you are viewing the topic.

 

I have a feeling where you might be going based on your wish for the boards to allow more explanation.

 

I think I get it.

 

Anyway, I thought the stats were interesting based on the posts regarding climate change and the horrific tragedy in FL right now.

 

I didn't want to detract from those threads so I started this one.

Oh, I get it now. Good luck with that! I've never heard of Armageddon offered as a solution to rising oceans or climate change. You learn something new every day.

Uh Huh!  Global or country problem?  If the former, might look towards India and China. Every study has a counter study, I however am not interested enough to spend my time looking.

MY how facts come and go!  Especially "scientific" ones.

 

When I was in school we were concerned about THE COMING ICE AGE!  It was on the front cover of Time Magazine.  That alone making it a fact, does it not? The theory was advanced from scientific findings and it was certain.

 

Somehow I missed it.

While you and I disagree on many points, no need to intentionally mis-state my comments.  They ARE as valid as yours.

 

We may see indeed as to how doing nothing ourselves about this issue works out.  I believe our country should indeed lead the way in betterment.
