Climate protest: Handmaid's Lobster Tale on the Congress Street Bridge

From the above link:

“In our field we have always had a dogma that CO2 itself, at the levels we find in buildings, is just not important and doesn’t have any direct impacts on people,” said William Fisk, Ph.D., a co-author of the study and a scientist in the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

“So these results, which were quite unambiguous, were surprising.”

The study, conducted with researchers from State University of New York Upstate Medical University, found that test subjects showed “significant” reductions on six of the nine scales of decision-making performance at CO2 levels of 1,000 parts per million (ppm) and “large” reductions on seven of the scales at 2,500 ppm

They can change. They are not always consistent. There are many variables that can alter the outcome. One volcano can throw enough dust into the atmosphere to block a significant amount of sunlight, thus altering the global temperature average. A spell with minimal sunspot activity can reduce the amount of the sun's energy hitting the planet.
The Maldives? They were supposed to be gone years ago...and yet...another problem is that the woke ones have no clue about basic geology. The planet is always in motion. Slow, but that's what 'geologic time' means. Here's an example. This map from a couple of years ago shows the ocean level's measured changes. So, Boston is getting swamped (at the rate of just under a foot per century) and yet parts of Alaska sea levels are dropping quite dramatically. How? Land vertical movement has a bit to do with it.

"And at the end of the day improving our environment is a goal worthwhile in itself."
I absolutely agree. When President Nixon signed the EPA Act into law, things were bad like in Cuyahoga River On Fire bad. So, progress is good.

The US, without signing the Kyoto Accords, has surpassed the goals that would have been set. That's progress.

I am a Beachcomber Uber driver.

Shout outs to my Roslindale Engine 53 Beachcomber peeps.

National Seashore erosion has been an issue for 400 years for European types. I would do just about about as much crying about the inevitable as I do for my own aging...... very little. I will, however, cherish the time I had.

No lobster costumes needed to save the Beachcomber. Their fate is costume-proof, and always has been.

There are 54,000 Florida waterfront properties for sale right now.

Try to find a single one that has lost value, let alone have a fire sale price.

Prices are THROUGH THE ROOF

Love the hairdoo, future world leaders.

As long as mom is still paying for electricity, they will still have nothing else to do on a Friday night.

It stands to reason that those who rely on others to pay their electric bills would tend to be in favor of dancing lobsters and mentally imbalanced children to save the planet.

Nah, I'm good. Please, continue attacking a teenager and regaling us with cherry picked data points about how we're actually not cooking ourselves to death.

This is the latest indicator that someone's a right-wingnut: the word woke. Only wingnuts use it. They think it's clever, for some reason, but the more they use it, the more ridiculous they sound. I'm sure they can trace it back to some liberal pronouncement, but today, nobody left of John Birch uses it.
