Spread The Viralist



A new report from the U.S. government says man-made climate change is already damaging the country, and it will only get worse in the coming decades. Jake Levine, a former energy and climate aide to President Obama, spoke to CBSN about what the country needs to do to reverse the damage being done to the planet.

  1. Ey
    Well you can act like you no see
    Until everybody free
    Well nobody really free then
    Today a you, tomorrow me
    But we still cannot agree
    While mother nature get a beating
    Is there no limit to the greed
    Down to the air weh we a breathe
    Now the water them receding
    Then spirituality deplete
    Economically defeated
    The cycle just repeat then

  2. These aren't "climate disasters", they are WEATHER disasters, and they have always happened. They keep FEELING worse to humans because we keep building more stuff and housing more people in vulnerable areas, and we have instant global media to show off all the horror stories – which makes everyone cry "DO SOMETHING!!" about it all. And politicians who say "Sorry, we can't" get voted out of office, so those with insane, unworkable plans get voted IN. So things are being done – totally useless things. When they don't work, the politicians will just yell "we need more funding!", and "if it hadn't been for what we've done, things would be even worse!". But the truth is that not much is going on, not much WILL go on, and that trying to do anything REAL about it would collapse our global economy anyway, with FAR worse consequences. We are already well on our way to self-destruction via business and politics as usually, no need to toss the trivial climate problems into the mix.

  3. Посмотрите на названия сгоревших городов- святая роза и парадайз.Это явно связано с духовностью.БОГ есть и он вас покарал.Надеюсь,это все из за поставок Джавелинов в Украину.

  4. The global warming scare promoted by the Jew media which was supposed to save the Jews from Arab oil has done perhaps more to expose the Jew stranglehold on the media and the banks.
    Seeing that Israel is surrounded by Muslim oil empires, why might the Jews that own the big banks and big media want to scare the public away from using oil?  Seeing that stock market commodities like farm crops depend on the weather, why do investment bankers spend large sums of money on climate scientists?  Why was the cooling  trend through the 1900's changed to a warming trend at the same time as the creation of the Chicago Climate Exchange in 2000 from which investment bankers hoped to make billions of dollars trading carbon credits?

    How many billions or trillions of dollars did investment bankers lose when the nuclear industry collapsed after the accident at Three Mile Island?  Why did the price of uranium, which plunged to $10/kg aftet TMI suddenly rise to $140/kg amidst the global warming propoganda?  Why was Al Gore in business with the head of assett management at Goldman Sachs?

    Why does the media like to trot out experts on shrinking rulers and particles in two places at the same time when the warming and cooling is accounted for by textbook geology and highschool science?

  5. This is the same whiny crap they have always been saying since the 90s.  I live in California, the wildfires are because our state have always mismanage the forestry.  Overgrowth, dead trees and blown power lines and people living in the over brush causes those extreme wildfires.  Al Gore said that New York was going to be under water real soon, he said that just before he bought beach front property on the West Coast.  In Paris they are having riots because Macron is trying to force people off gasoline by raising the fuel tax to a level that have increased the cost of living to a point effects the quality of life.  Newsflash,  the Sun is the main driver of the climate and it is now going through a massive cooling phase.

  6. The government reporting that we need to give them more money so that we don’t have this much rain? Imagine my shock!

    BTW, CO2 follows, does not precede, temperature change. See the ice core data. Where is the explanation for that?

  7. Y'all don't have very good memories. 40 years sho you were told to take care of the forest floor or you would have catastrophic fires. This had nothing to do with global warming, which, by the way, is a natural phenomenon. The fires are a result of mis management. When you build in the middle of a forest, you have to keep the deadwood under control.

  8. Climate change is no worse now than it has been in the past. We just have more people all over the place affected by it. Mother Nature has a self-regulating defense reaction against things like overpopulation. Natural disasters, disease, war, and other natural reaction will keep the population in check. Looking to overtaxed, bankrupted CA for answers is a joke.

  9. Ignorant people!!! Job 37:1-13
    [1]At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his place.
    [2]Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth.
    [3]He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth.
    [4]After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard.
    [5]God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.
    [6]For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.
    [7]He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.
    [8]Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places.
    [9]Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north.
    [10]By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.
    [11]Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud:
    [12]And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth.
    [13]He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.

  10. No one seems to remember the “Day after Tomorrow” movie. Things don’t “JUST HAPPEN”, at some points in history nature just takes what it wants.

  11. It won't do us any good to finance all the remedies if no other country will do the same. The Indian continent pollutes far more than we do but will restrict itself to climate change policies. China and other countries only give small actions against these problems. Let's look at Kalifornia it is a socialist state and the pride of the left. When they can tell me what caused the climate change in the past. There were instances in the past that none of these experts want to address. Tell me what caused the little ice age and what stopped it, then I might consider the experts solution.

  12. when a nation get cut off from God Almighty for turning it's back this what happens the country is doomed because of Lawlessness and rebellion. only God can control what's going on if anyone try to harm is getting judge. all we keep hearing is lies to keep us in fear and worry. read Isaiah 66:15-18
    Jeremiah 42:19-28
    Jeremiah 44
    Isaiah 48-69

  13. Of course the climate changes. The Moche were destroyed by climate change caused by a strong El Nino. Guess the industrial revolution was not the culprit.

  14. It’s time to sacrifice as we did in WWI & II, carbon tax, tax 75% over 2million, plastic tax, & how about a 1$ gas tax. Then incentivize public transportation, e-transport, space mining, tax exemptions for green industry and businesses.
