Unless you are willing to say who you are and who funds you, you have no relevance. Of course, you'd have less after you did, so I can see why you don't.

You've got nothing to say.

Would it kill you to actually keep it all under one of the 8 other global warming threads and not spin off a new one every time you think of a global warming topic? You're starting to sound like regicide who keeps creating yet another JFK assassination thread.

1) not global warming--> global climate change

2) many of those things (dare I say all) are caused by more than just climate change. The list is too big but really, let's just assume the whole list.

3) many are repeated (as if I cared enough to actually look).

4) When you put that list into context (maybe change the title : A complete list of things caused by global warming" -->to "A complete list of things that are affected by temperature"), the list becomes less scary and more sensible.

Look at it THIS way....

Hypothetically climate change REALLY is happenning (in your mind only let's say)...it's a real thing.

How many thing do YOU think would be affected by climate change?
Let me guess:
longer beach season
higher spf
.....
.....
more gooder plant growth.
and that's about it.

I thought the 2 posts were quite entertaining....and strangely educational.

Try to read them with a sense of humor. Cause let's face it, global warming is pretty darn funny.
