Please cite the study in question that called for that much sea level change by 2020.

I never said it was a study. Politicians, movies by Al Gore, the 1972 and 1982 UN conference on the environment.

How about a study on studies not being reliable? https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16060722/

Without even asking where you are, I'm fairly confident that no one predicted it would be under water as a result of climate change 20 years ago.

Why do you think this is the case? You should double check your sources.

The 1972 and 1982 UN conference on the environment. You're right, it was 50 years ago.

If by chance, a real "climate change denier" existed, and I know they don't, it's only people who are concerned about government overreach and totalitarian measures enacted by innumerate hippies that will do more harm than good.

But, if one did exist, where would you differ from them on actual policy?

You don't want people to do studies. You don't want governments to fund stuff. You don't want governments to restrict energy (by which you mean fossil fuels, not cheap renewables). You appear to be suggesting that even the believers don't actually believe.

I mean, there's a whole range of opinions on climate change from eco-communists to eco-capitalists to eco-futurists to eco-fascists, even fossil fuel companies have published net-zero plans, but your take seems to be just "don't do stuff".

Can you expand on that a bit more, because that response feels very like climate change denial to me, which you say you're not, and indeed no one is, doing.

My chunk of the planet was suppose to be underwater 20 years ago, 15 years ago, 10 years ago, last year, in 3 years, and in 7 years. We are a naive species that does not understand climate or how and why it changes.

Think of the marketing for Nvidia: "The GPU so powerful we're not allowed to export it. "

> Strong luxury share – at 18% of sales – helps push the industry average price higher.

I bet people who would have otherwise bought cheaper options are buying whatever they can get. In years past many of these cars probably sat on the lot for a year and sold at a healthy discount.

One of my friends had to buy a new (to him) car out of necessity. He decided to buy the only new car on the lot. He was bragging. Great deal.

Here’s the catch.. it requires premium. He didn’t know that. The dealer made sure not to volunteer any extra info. He’s keeping those miles low.

Even here in wet Vancouver Island, British Columbia we have heaps of streams that are mostly gone by July. They are rain fed, the rain goes away, it’s just how some systems work.

I’m not saying everything is fine with the environment. Just, this is to be expected with a large number of streams in the world. Maybe it’s not alarming in each case.

I’m pretty sure the Mississippi River use to seasonally dry up in spots prior to the building of the lock and dam system.

What is the usecase for a remote starter? I don't really understand why someone would want this. Could even be dangerous if it's left in gear.

Living in winter. Preheating the vehicle. (That’s what I use mine for, which is factory installed.)

This reminded me of when Target outed a teenage pregnancy to her parents through targeted advertising.

I shouldn’t (and won’t) have to do that.
