    Listening to Ponder on Weather every morning (wife plays the latest YouTube) and LA Weather (Pluto KCAL), it occurred to me that while we are killing ourselves, the phenomena that we laypeople are learning about are great alternative band names.

    Saharan Dust, Bomb Cyclone, Heat Dome, La Niña Summer, Upper Level Shear, Grid Failure.

    That would be a full day of sets at The End is Near outdoor festival, if the crowds could endure that long outside

    I assume since co2 admissions is such a problem you are moving about on a bicycle or electric car, charged only by solar power charging stations? Also not staying in any hotels that are not powered by solar. If such an issue lead by example!

    Not enviro, but I have walked to work for the last 8 years and my wife and I have downgraded to one fuel efficient car, which we drive, on average, about 5,000 miles per year combined (even after having our son). Our next car will be electric. Is this enough steps for you to warrant discussing the effects of climate change?

    Best way to lead by example is to vote against ignorant Republicans.

    Yeah my wife and I do about 5k miles per year too, in a Kia Rio that gets very good gas milage. Our next car will be electric too, but that might be a while since we put so little milage on our Rio.

    Republicans are just go-slow Democrats on the Climate Change religion.

    LOL. You answer the questions if you want to. I'll keep posting that The Great Barrier Reef had the largest coral expansion in 40 years, you keep trying to convince people that isn't a good thing.

    Okay, so you are refusing to answer the questions? Interesting.

    My Charlotte, NC had the coolest June in years. One June day the high was 69. That may have been a record.

    But Charlotte finally got the White House memo and is cranking out the heat.

    LOL. What's interesting is you trying to downplay the largest increase in coral expansion in almost 40 years. Must be a reason...

    I tried to talk about the report you linked and gave you multiple opportunities to do so by asking questions about the report. It should be noted that you refused to answer basic questions about that report because you were afraid of the answers. Let me know when you are capable and willing to answer simple questions.

    It should be noted you refuse to accept that The Great Barrier Reef has had the largest increase in Coral in 40 years. Let me know when you are capable and willing to accept that data. Until you do that without using caveats, I don't feel the need to answer any question from you.

    False. I have not disputed that fact at all. I have merely attempted to dig deeper into it than you are willing to do to discuss the report in greater detail. You have, thus far, refused to answer basic factual questions referencing the report.

    Already did.

    Yep, you won't answer questions because you don't like the answers and don't want to address the issue with any actual depth. Let me know if that changes. But we both know that it won't because digging deeper into the report doesn't back your desired outcome, does it?

    Which is why this will be my last post unless you show the basic courtesy and maturity to directly answer the questions that I posed about the report. However, I suspect that you will, instead, show immaturity again, in refusing to answer a basic question. Good luck.

    LOL. You have spent 3 pages trying to discredit the FACT The Great Barrier Reef had the LARGEST coral expansion in 40 years. The rest is you trying to downplay it because it goes against your global warming bad theory. Ooops.

    Debating with fools is pretty pointless.
