Hi koan; Re: "If this AGW manifests into a full blown Permian Age event, it will be really dangerous and that possibility is real!";
If monkeys fly out of our asses that will be really dangerous and the possibility is about as real as a "full blown Permian Age event", LOL. What you're doing is speculating. Hey, I can find you a peer reviewed article stating that our CO2 emissions are stopping the onset of the next ice age. And an ice age will kill a hell of a lot more humans than 2 degrees C of warming.
Re: "In addition you don't think flooding millions of people out of their homes is dangerous?";
People drinking and driving is dangerous and, like the flooding, it has nothing to do with CO2. If you think it does, then you go find the peer reviewed articles that prove it. Meanwhile, I'll show you the peer reviewed articles that say that there is no link. Which do you believe? That's a matter of politics.
Re: "You don't think the massive amount of new powerful hurricanes is dangerous?";
You're a little late on this one. The idea that global warming would cause an increase in storms is so 1990s, LOL. A recent dearth of hurricanes and tornados has killed this meme. Again, you're diverging from the peer reviewed literature. Instead of quoting science, you're quoting speculation.
Re: "You don't think the melting of the arctic ice cap is dangerous. We have lost half of it in just the last 40 years.";
These things change with the PDO. See my previous post for the chart. Forty years ago was 1973. Back then the articles about the polar ice was that it was growing and we were starting a new ice age. And 40 years before that the arctic was in another warm spell and newspapers had articles about how the ice cap was melting. Those years, around the 2nd world war, was when the Germans sent the warship Komet through the Arctic Ocean to the Pacific, along the USSR's north coast (See en.wikipedia.org )
Re: "Why do you downplay this stuff? What is your motivation? ";
I'm not "downplaying" it. You're "upplaying". And your motivation is that you're another leftist moron who believes that technology is an evil thing that must be fought with every tool possible. If it were up to you we'd still be living in caves. I don't want to live in a cave so I push back against you. And if you think what I'm doing now is having an effect, you should wait a couple years, LOL.
Re: "Extreme weather events have risen dramatically in the last 40 years and killed thousands.";
Let me rewrite your statement so that it's correct:
Extreme weather events have always existed on the earth. In the last 40 years they have killed thousands. Before, then, they also killed thousands as any moron can determine by using google. If you want to decrease the number of people killed in storms you need to improve weather forecasting, construction standards and nowadays in the US at least, you need to figure out a way of getting people to obey the authorities.
