If that were standard practice, then it would be a N. America problem. But it isn't, and it isn't.

At first I thought you mean Ivan Drago... then I realized you meant Drogo. Then I realized you should have said Aquaman, since they're talking about plastic pollution.

:-D

We must reach "peak meat" by 2030.

First of all, this is further proof that the real problem is that there are simply too many people.

Secondly, I've taken science classes in college and seen the news reports about how farming is as bad, or worse, for the environment than livestock. So I'm dubious about this claim.

Anyone remember the peak oil hysteria from 18 years ago?

On this date in 2008, Al Gore (hollowed be his name) told a German audience that the polar ice cap would be gone in five years. Today is the sixth year of remembrance of the disappearance of Santa's home.

I still see "the science is settled" used unironically, pertaining to this subject.

I enjoy both sides of this debate, and figure the truth is somewhere in the middle.

Here's a good Stossel piece on Climate Change:

Thousands of people no longer fly due to Climate Change.

Listen, the realities of climate change aside, I'd bet anything that folks who do this are FAR more likely to be persuaded to join a cult.

People like this, who are all in on what they've been told about climate change, make "the debate is over" a far scarier statement.

Thank fucking God. Nearly every flight I'm on lately has been full.

Have they updated that in the 4.5 years since that was published?

They need to adjust previous raw data up to make the dire prediction models accurate .

Didn't look at the date. Came through from someone on the Twitters.

If it makes you feel better, we've been getting told Antarctica is losing ice for far more than 4 years.

The aptly named Ocean Cleanup device is up and running.

Older article, but just came up in my feed. Anyway, necessity is the mother of invention or something.
