Everybody do your part this year and open up all of your doors and windows with the A/C on. Keep your refrigerators open and running at all times too.

We can beat this global warming if we do our civic duty and flatten the curve.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Back to the original title: Then I suggest that you relax about Trump, BLM, and all of your other hysterias, REAVERBOT, since you won't make a difference anyway.

Michael Shellenberger argues that fears of a future climate-driven apocalypse are unfounded. But several scientists he cites told Snopes he misunderstands — or mischaracterizes — their research.

Shellenberger’s Optimistic, Viral Take on Climate Future Challenged by Scientists He Cites

Shellenberger, a self-described “environmental humanist” who often casts the demands of climate activists as oppositional to the economic needs of impoverished populations, asserted that he was being censored. That claim resonated with several conservative media outlets, including Breitbart, Quillette, and the Daily Wire, who each republished all or some of the article. In reality, as reported by multiple outlets, the article was removed for violating Forbes’ editorial policy against self-promotion. The ensuing virality brought the situation to the attention of several fact-checking organizations, including Climate Feedback, where a panel of seven Ph.D. experts deemed the article’s credibility to be “low.”

Brain damage and behavioural disorders in fish induced by plastic nanoparticles delivered through the food chain
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-10813-0

The tremendous increases in production of plastic materials has led to an accumulation of plastic pollution worldwide. Many studies have addressed the physical effects of large-sized plastics on organisms, whereas few have focused on plastic nanoparticles, despite their distinct chemical, physical and mechanical properties. Hence our understanding of their effects on ecosystem function, behaviour and metabolism of organisms remains elusive. Here we demonstrate that plastic nanoparticles reduce survival of aquatic zooplankton and penetrate the blood-to-brain barrier in fish and cause behavioural disorders. Hence, for the first time, we uncover direct interactions between plastic nanoparticles and brain tissue, which is the likely mechanism behind the observed behavioural disorders in the top consumer. In a broader perspective, our findings demonstrate that plastic nanoparticles are transferred up through a food chain, enter the brain of the top consumer and affect its behaviour, thereby severely disrupting the function of natural ecosystems.

Both Republicans and Democrats tend to underestimate the percentage of adults in the U.S. population who think global warming is happening, are worried about it, and support climate policy

Both parties are going to do absolutely nothing to challenge the economic structure that brought us global warming.

And if democrats don't do any different, how are they any better?
