It appears that even places that can use the heat are getting it. This can add a lot of methane to an already CO2 abundant environment:

ocean methane is only one source. The permafrost is thought to hold significant amounts of methane too.

That's correct... from Northern Canada and Siberia... roughly 30x more potent than CO2. I've seen film clips of people igniting methane that has been trapped in ice as bubbles. [pipe]

Realestate market certainly contradicts your last example. Remember, it's the coastal elite funding much of the doomsaying you spread. It gets the plebes to support using tax money to build sea walls to protect the wealthy's vacation homes from natural erosion.

How about you post an example of something positive today? Something that HAS helped prevent climate change. A piece of legislation passee, a project completed, an improvement made.

Rainwater harvesting? Something positive? [ponder]


When I was a youngster and lived in Morris, Manitoba our household water supply was rainwater... it came from the roof, and eavestroughing channeled it through a charcoal filter attached to the outside wall, and from this filter, it went to a large underground concrete cistern. It was pumped from the cistern to the house. My grandparents had a similar setup for their house in town. They worked really well. That was 70 years back...

we use rainwater as "grey water" ... for watering the garden.

don't think that is having any impact on climate change ?

Not really. Water is cheap which means it's not particularly energy intense.

When we start desalinating as California has just committed to, because they can't get any reservoirs through their own environmental impact report process, then water will start to have a negative impact on climate change.

Maybe it's seriously affected by climate change, issues... [ponder]

Negative, climate change is expected to bring 20% more water to California.

We'll have to wait and see... I hope you are correct, but wouldn't be the farm on it.

They? You're starting to sound like a conspiracy theorist.

Not at all... for this instance, by 'they' I mean 'some other gender neutral people' that I don't know. [pipe]

I wonder what "they" would have made of the 1930s dust bowl in the US ? "the beginning of aridification" ?

It's OK, they are not interested in looking after the oceans, either, it would seem. Hold on to your hat, rb... it's not done yet. A century from now this may be looked at like a new 'dustbowl'... maybe not [pipe]

How exactly does AGW cause drought, dik? What comes to your mind when you think "tropical"?
