Won’t save us but could delay, that is if the earth is warming, which it isn’t.

Yes the floods did significantly replenish soil fertility and the sloughs recharged groundwater. The major floods of the last 25 years has now seen the COE leave some levees breached to lessen the impact of flooding in high population areas. When I was back over the summer I spent time in Prairie du Rocher and they are fighting the feds to get their levee recertified or the flood insurance rates will increase so high that it will kill businesses there and prevent others from locating there. Getting close to La Guiannée season!

Well, that’s the Horseshoe Theory playing out, it seems.
I think it’s far more complicated than that…maybe a sphere versus a 2d political space.
Moreover, I think a society realigns their “center”. The US was MUCH more the left in the 30s than in the 50s, for example. A lot of the critique of the Horseshoe Theory assume both a static left/right paradigm and a static societal norm for what constitutes the center. Neither of which has any basis in fact or practice.

Ha. I could put ‘Corporotism’ in the Lunatic Fringe section myself. I mean corporotism is destroying the entire biosphere. That seems a bit lunatic-fringy to me.

vIt is lunatic fringy to believe that.

Um… the last 18 years, the earth has been cooling?
What? Something like the last 11 years consecutively have been the hottest on record.
You make no sense.
Wrong. Even the IPCC agrees although they won’t admit it. They term it a “pause”. An 18 year “pause” that the IPCC never predicted.
“A leaked report to the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) seen by the Mail on Sunday, has led some scientists to claim that the world is heading for a period of cooling that will not end until the middle of this century.
If correct, it would contradict computer forecasts of imminent catastrophic warming. The news comes several years after predictions that the arctic would be ice-free by 2013.
Despite the original forecasts, major climate research centres now accept that there has been a “pause” in global warming since 1997.”Headed for a period of cooling?
yeah…that’s not cooling. We actually have to BE COOLED to experience cooling.
What’s actually happened is a number of years of consecutive hottest years on record.
Perhaps we should stop breaking records before you crow about the IPCC report that we “might” dip.
Oh, and that’s already been covered. Already been talked about.
The amount of solar energy is at a 300 year low. We are at a current solar energy nadir. Once that solar energy ramps up with us sitting above 400 ppm Carbon in the atmosphere, the temperature is going to skyrocket.
Will a down year or two change that? No. Just like opening the oven door and the oven cooling doesn’t change the fact that once you close the door, it’s gonna get real hot, real quick.
But that’s okay. If facts present themselves and I’m wrong, I’ll say so. You, otoh, will never admit to any facts that prove you wrong because the denial can’t allow it. No amount of evidence will change your mind.
Which makes this all dogmatic for you… an article of faith. All too easy to cherry pick bits of science acontextually and create a patchwork quilt of data points and then create a narrative after the fact.
That’s not the scientific method. But hey, William Hayes believes in mermaids.
See, Climate Catastrophe explains the current mass extinction occurring right now. If the planet is actually cooling (a ridiculous notion) why is the planet experiencing a mass extinction explicitly due to loss of habitat as a result not just of human encroachment?
Seriously, posting a report that the IPCC says there might be cooling in the future and using that to state that the earth IS cooling and has been for the past 18 years?
Wrong again. The earth has been cooling the last 18 years. The IPCC can’t admit the cooling since it contradicts all their modeling efforts. That is why I used “pause” as in quotes to point out the obvious. Too bad you missed it. All you had to do was read a little further to see-
“Despite the original forecasts, major climate research centres now accept that there has been a “pause” in global warming since 1997.”
You’re also wrong about skyrocketing temps when atmospheric CO2 concentrations exceed 400 ppm. History shows that the relationship is not correlative. (See Fig. 6.) No extinction event. But that is what the past has shown repeatedly.
You also don’t need to preach the scientific method to me since I’m a scientist. And this passage is exactly what we’ve been told not to do, as in getting personal-
“But that’s okay. If facts present themselves and I’m wrong, I’ll say so. You, otoh, will never admit to any facts that prove you wrong because the denial can’t allow it. No amount of evidence will change your mind.

I’ve asked you this before, what does the Q+ mean?
Queer/Questioning, and others.
Thanks. What “others” could there be besides hermaphrodites?
