Finally an explanation about what looks like global cooling

Post Reply New Topic

I believe that part of Eastern New Mexico is considered to be "shortgrass prairie", not desert.

Of the color regions, left to right: shortgrass prairie, mixed grass prairie, and tallgrass prairie:

Um, it doesn't really look like a short grass prairie at all. It looks like desert and it's got these cool rocks. It looks like another planet. I wanna say moonscape but it doesn't really look like earth's moon. I've never seen nothing like it any other place.

It definitely doesn't look like this state, I can tell you that. It might resemble the Texas panhandle sorta but Texas doesn't have those cool rocks jutting up all over. Those things are awesome looking. Love the way that place looks! When I first drove through New Mexico, I thought how totally cool something so neat looking and different is so close by. It's mind blowing. I can see why it has the UFO motif going on. It does look...alienish.

Check out this article on the last time CO2 concentration was as high as in Febuary:

With that info, I am surprised climate change isn't more extreme considering it 11 million years for gradual climate change to occur. Look how quickly humans put all that CO2 back! That's pretty extreme.

They also came up with a name for it.



And you can see mankind's contribution referenced there.

Scientists want to capture carbon from the atmosphere:



My plan for moving humans to specific city zones with surrounding agriculture zones, returning the rest of the earth to plants and other species, along with birth control would solve a lot of problems. If things get too bad and people too desperate, just wait. What governments do might be actually worse than my plan, and much harsher.

So you would rather starve everyone to death?

How is this different to the current state of affairs?

Oh it's very different because right now everyone sprawls everyplace and that takes away from the "sinks" places where carbon dioxide can be taken from the atmosphere and put into other endeavors, tree leaves, for example. but that's not the only one. Trees can take that CO2 and trap it in their bodies. It's pretty neat and it makes them really strong, like those cool beings on Avatar who were also carbon based life forms, like trees, and notice the connection to the memory tree? Pretty awesome. It would be cool to be more tree like because we would be really strong and thrive on all this carbon dioxide.

My plan would concentrate humans into human zones, and their animals, too but the rest of it would be left to the wildlife and plants and some places right here in the US and elsewhere would never see people roaming around in them even though they would have water, trees, wildlife and would appear very hospitable. Only places like that now are regions mankind feel are too harsh, deserts, mainly. People will venture into the forests and other areas with plants and complain about wildlife who are just trying to exist. It's ridiculous. I would give them more space. In fact, the sprawl would pretty much disappear, being replaced by truly wild places existing like they did before humans found the industrial revolution and science. They would make the perfect sinks, imo, and provide balance.

To be honest, I worry about something like that happening if things stay as they are right now.

If by that prairie/desert of the Texas panhandle and eastern New Mexico you're talking about the Llano Estacado then yes, it is monotonous. I wasted part of my youth living in that desolate and eternally boring place so I know.....

Just because we don't have a bunch of trees and mountains cluttering up the scenery, there's no reason to think it is boring.

So have you been to New Mexico? What is your opinion on it? You already probably know I love New Mexico and feel uplifted when I am there. It's a magical place to me.

Well, ya know a lot of people think this entire region, the south plains, and the northern ones, or "great plains" are all boring, flat, tiresome. It's not entirely unheard of. I find elevation a key ingredient in shooing away that dull feeling of monotony. Ever feel when you are rising in altitude you just feel like your spirit is lifting right along with you? That is how I feel when I head west, into New Mexico and Arizona.

I you love it that's all that counts.
