Unprecedented flooding from Hilary leaves Palm Springs, Coachella Valley reeling
Palm Springs which average 4-5 inches a year, has has 4-6 inches in some areas in less than a day. Roads have been wiped away.
Glad Whirly was able to explain that Niger and Nigeria are not the same to you, also turns out you're unemployed and live in your sister's guest room as you've told people, so there's that.
In news unrelated to those facts above, California is going to get hit with a tropical storm again, apparently moving further North this time. Cool.
Originally posted by RobtardCould it be due to India being overpopulated? I know India has a big land mass, but it has about 18% of the world population? Take into account the mass/dense populations of Pakistan, Nepal, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and... China* it's understandable it would be breaking heat records.
"Indian capital of Delhi breaks all-time heat record, as authorities impose water rationing" -Snip49.9 C / 121.5 F
The "Chinese hoax" strikes again.
*I know Western China is mostly mountains with little to no people for 1,000s of miles, but I still fet the need to include them.
Originally posted by RobtardNot just human body heat, but the demand for more food, more workers and more education, etc. all adds up.
Pretty sure these record breaking heat cycles across the globe we're seeing isn't due to human body heat.
I think it was doug stanhope who pointed out that a hybrid electric car with a baby seat in is retarded. That baby is going to contribute way more to global warming/climate change than any carbon neutrality a hybrid is going to counter.
Originally posted by RobtardI didn't use any maths, but the context was the average human life, say 60 years, would make a hybrid redundant in trying to solve the problem.
Stanhope is funny, but that math doesn't add up.
I imagine a hybrid is a way of saving money? Or maybe it's just a scam for people to act smug.
I don't see how that logic works out either.
The reasons to drive a hybrid is both to save money on fuel, as hybrids get better fuel mileage compared to their full petrol counterparts and to use less petrol, as burning fossil fuels is the main contributor to our global temps rising.
The smug factor used to be in play, but now that's been taken over by the full electric crowd, especially Tesla drivers.
Originally posted by RobtardThe biggest contributor to the greenhouse effect is the livestock and agriculture industry. Methane from cows and pigs etc. not to mention the pesticides, fertilisers, tractors and deforesting fires for more agricultural land... (This isn't just crops and selectively bred animals for food, tobacco too.)

Originally posted by RobtardElectricity also contributes to global climate change and is more expensive and less available than fossil fuels... 🙄

Pretty sure the #1 factor goes to our abundant use of fossil fuels. Not that there's only one factor in play.
It depends how that electricity is generated, again, depends how that electricity is generated and again, depends how that electricity is generated. eg Coworker went from driving a hybrid to a full electric, the add-on to her electric bill is less than what she was paying for petrol.
Originally posted by RobtardI'll give it some thought when I start driving, plus, if I manage to get my own house, I'm seriously going to look into solar panels and wind turbines.
