In reply to the discussion: Florida might be fucked. These storms will get worse.. and then WORSE. And more frequent. [View all]Think. Again.
(22,456 posts)...and I'd like to add the one consideration that no one ever wants to talk about, which is the absolute main consideration...
Overpopulation.
The number of humans on the planet has doubled from it's highest point in the in the short period of one human lifetime, an instant in geological time. We've reached the pinnacle of exponential growth.
We all know that what makes life possible in the one place in the universe that has it, our Earth, is the very complex balance of millions of interacting parts and actions, both biological and non-biological (such as Atmospheric CO2 levels, Ocean Tempuratures, Micro/Macronutrients in the soil, even Animals of Prey and Deadly Parasites, etc.) that have developed in unison over billions of years to be the functioning, single active system it is.
And everyone also knows that disrupting the balance of any complex system without allowing that system the time to re-adjust all of it's parts to accomodate a new balance, to adapt, is what causes run-away malfunctions in all of parts, to the point where the moving, active living system becomes a static pile of rotting junk.
The climate change that is about to begin is the re-adjustment our entire planet's active system is making to the imbalance that one single part of it's overall system is causing, the malignant, exponential growth of one single species -Homo sapiens.
