Let's go swimming!

Wow! A backyard wave pool! Sure happy we don't have those here.

[Roberts Creeker]

It finally rained here..for at least 5 minutes. So far in Roberts Creek we've missed out on all the precipitation, there's been a couple of times I've been in Gibsons and it's rained down there but nothing here.

So many earthquakes on the west coast this week. That 7.1 in Cali is freaky. I think we are gonna feel something this week. Transfer of energy along the coast is gonna do something closer to us.

That's like a cruise ship pool in rough seas

Records have only been kept for a hundred years or so so yes there will be new records all the time it makes statistical sense.

Wow 7.1 tonight in Ridgecrest Cali. I hope Yellowstone does't go that's the monster one that's long over due.

Dog breath enjoying the nice cool weather?

Climate change carries on though. I don't understand how many here don't see it.

People generally see what they want to see. One could theorize about how our biases are shaped by our political affiliation, choice of careers, religion, or even climate preferences. Simply put, few people want to believe in something that threatens their worldview or lifestyle. It's easier to call it a scam because that immediately absolves us of any need to worry about it. Accepting that we need to change would require some degree of sacrifice - and if the so-called "elites" aren't prepared to make any sacrifices, then why should the average person? (I mean that as a rhetorical question, not a statement of my own opinion.)

I don't have a problem with genuine skeptics, because that word implies someone whose opinion will evolve based on the evidence. What bothers me is that most "skeptics" have not actually set any parameters for changing their opinion. They claim that almost all observed warming is due to natural factors, and that humankind's contribution is impossible to tease apart from this natural warming. Therefore, it doesn't matter how much the Earth warms, because they can keep falling back on the same argument.

Those who subscribe to the anthropogenic warming theory have made a one-way bet: that CO2 emissions will cause dramatic warming if left unchecked. If the Earth does not warm dramatically, it will be clear that they were wrong. The "skeptics", on the other hand, will be "right" whether the Earth warms dramatically or not, since anything that happens is due primarily to natural causes. They've basically inoculated themselves against being wrong. It's a bit of a clever cop-out.

Lol no one knows We do have to do a better job of taking care of the environment but we are not going to stop the earth from warming 1° or two that’s just not realistic

[John]

No one knows for sure if there is a climate crisis but the media have caught on to this and blown it way out of proportion as they always do. Not a newscast goes past without this topic being addressed. Very annoying just like terrorism was the only thing going on in there mind after the years following 9/11.

And this all takes place in the first 6 months of 2019? That is out of proportion with statistics.
