On climactic change
So the other day there was a freak hail storm in Mexico City. Yes, hail has historically fallen in the city, but this one was just weird. It does not matter the mechanism, but in some areas they got 30 centimeters, in one a meter, before all was said and done.
Next day they had another one.
So I went looking. Since 1999 these freak storms have spiked.
Unlike us, Mexicans are not in denial about global climactic change. They have been living it for about two decades...floods, century storms, droughts, freak hail storms. It is not theory, it is every day life.
We are starting to live with the consequences. But by the time we collectively decide it is real, it might be beyond the point of no return. The ones I feel sorry for are my nieces and nephews, the mess they will inherit. Worst case the end of the worlders might be partially correct. Sorry guys, extinction is forever.
To speak plainly in a language some very religious people may understand...god promised not to destroy the earth by flood again. That promise has nothing about humans doing it themselves. Global climactic change is real, and potentially could be an extinction level event for apex species, which includes us.
Greed is not good, and we will not be given a last second reprieve. Those who do not help themselves...
Suffice it to say deniers are not just the very religious, those I almost get it. It is who we, very provincial, and at times not understanding the most basic of math or science, people are. (Yes, there is data on how behind we are other countries in math and science) It's hurting us, not just in competing on the world stage, but in understanding that climate is indeed changing. It's not a mild spring, that is weather. It's not a weird hail storm, that is weather...it's an increasing series of them over the decades. It is measurable data, such as increase in global surface ocean temp, and atmospheric temp. That is what climactic change is. And it is real.

So, did they get more in another meter?.... I didn't know they metered the stuff.

This could become a good thread if there are any DUmpmonkeys around with a shred of self-respect or just a tiny trace of a spine.
With the nutcase returning to her "meter of hail" nonsense, it has potential.

I doubt there's a single monkey at the DUmp who knows the difference between climactic and climatic.
Considering they've never picked up the difference between loser and looser, or they're, their, there, this one is impossible.
These are people who use apostrophes when they write "plural's".
But they instruct us on how American industry is wrecking the world's climate.
Right. Bearmanpig has given them a fleecing that dwarfs the Andyscam.

Well it figures NadaTwat! The last time you had a climax, if ya ever have had one, was when Momma pushed ya outa the poop chute, 'cause Ah'm pretty sure yer weren't born, you's was crapped!! Either that, or Daddy jerked off a stump and the sun hatched ya!! There's no other explanations!
That, and or, you're just as intelligent as those idiot libs at the UN, aren't ya? I'll bet you believe every thing they tell ya, right? Like they were just in the Congo on a "Peace Keeping Mission", right?
I can't remember the last time I have seen an individual so full of themselves since Clintoon told us, "I never had sex with that woman"! And he actually said it, all the while, lookin' in a camera, speakin' to the American people with a straight face!
You're still stickin' with that 60 centimeters is a meter, ain't ya? Bwahahahahahahahahaha!!! Ya mean to tell me you don't even have the guts to look it up?

36. So, what happened to "global warming"? I don't see that term used much anymore.
Global warming
Global weather change
Global Climate change
Global Climatic change
Global Climactic change
It's hard to keep track these days.
You seriously don't know?

Let's just mesh all these terms into one easy to remember, apt description for all of them.
"Bullshit."
Even you ought to remember that one, Nadin. Especially since it's also a language-which you are quite fluent in, I might add.

Actually, of course, she is not.
She has no idea how comical her error is.
She's so oblivious, she doesn't even recognize that she's wrong.
And even an organization as idiotic and useless as the UN wouldn't make that mistake.
Nutcase nadin is simply psychologically incapable of admitting an error, no matter how inconsequential.
She's wrapped up in a coccoon of her nitwit sycophants at the DUmp, and 99.99% of the DUmpmonkeys who recognize how insulting she is lack the courage or self-respect to challenge her.
-
Unlike us, Mexicans are not in denial about global climactic change.
Of course mexicans buy into "climactic"[sic] change.
The whole basis for manbearpig's scam was to take money from Americans and give it to shithole countries like mexico, minus a fee for manbearpig.
I think that sentence is pretty close to a complete description of the global warming scam.
If you were a shithole country (like most of the world) you'd be a fool if you didn't totally embrace the global warming scam.
Shithole countries like mexico can smell an American dollar from miles away.

43. I'm just trying to figure out if the OP is serious.
If I take his predictions/words literally about dire consequences and doomsday then I'm disparaged. If I doubt the seriousness or inevitability of his predictions/words then I'm disparaged.
After all the OP isn't saying moderating things like climate change will be an economic burden for some and a boost for others, or will cause population patterns to shift, or that populations will have to adjust over time as has occurred in the past. Oh no. The OP jumps straight to the doomsday scenarios.
So which is it? Doomsday or not? If not, then why the fear mongering? If doomsday then how is suggesting preparing for disaster a bad thing?
:lmao:
And now: a well-played pun:

"Nadin fails to climax"
--Suffice to say, it takes at least 3 to 4 meters of ice to get nads to pick on a climax.

One of the strangest OP's I ever read.
Nads lashes out at the obvious detractors, and fails to pick up on the sharp sticks thrust in her ribs.
As far as intelligence, she must rank up there with dead armadillos on Texas highways. :lmao:
She doesn't even realize, her "minions", are the ones jabbing her. :rotf:

Having learnt from the great and mighty Nads that all wisdom can be found at the end of a Google search...I found that the U.N.'s own web-pages refer to 'climate change'.
Naturally this is my mistake, because we all know that Nadin is never wrong.
-

As you probably know: Nads is a firm supporter of OWS. This has led her to several fights with more "mainstream" DUers who would like that energy dedicated to mainstream political contests ala the Tea Party.
Nads and the other True Believers have rejected that suggestion at every turn. It would co-op and corrupt the nature of the movement, they argued. OccuPie had to be its own movement. There would be no joining mainstream politics as mainstream politics was the very thing they needed to fight.
Death to the system.
Rage against the (Vending) Machine.
All that sort of silliness.
Then, a few weeks ago, some OccuPie-ers attended a council meeting in San Diego.
Nads immediately took to the forum to excoriate her opposite numbers with cat-calls of, "See, we can join mainstream politics too!"
her combativeness and arrogance know no bounds.
-
Every day a new sycophant joins the chorus of those who insist on defending the misuse of 'climactic.'
They defend it by saying it is a poor translation, or that other people do it, but it appears impossible for those followers to say the words "It was wrong, she made a mistake."
If Nads were not so arrogant, she would have admitted the error and made the correction. But where is the fun in that for the rest of us!
-
That bonfire is still blazing, some really funny exchanges between nadin and her detractors. She changed the thread title to "En el cambÃo climático".

142. you seem to be arguing a totally seperate point. no one in the thread has claimed freak
storms and "climactic change" don't exist.
it's the misuse of the word "climactic" plus doubling down with hyperbole that are entertaining folks on this thread. you should have realized this by now.

Sticking to the metric system might be a problem, since nutcase nadin thinks there are 60 centimeters in a metric cenitpede.
I wonder if her mexican is any better than her English.

I nadined it and "climactic change" seems to be such a common error, it was a choice from google. I even found one article in the Nepali Times entitled Climactic change
Seen and unseen dangers as global warming thaws the Himalaya. (http://www.nepalitimes.com/issue/393/Nation/14644)But even later in that article they use the correct word and one can easily put it off as a typo. But it still left me confused. Was it possible that this one time Nadin was correct about something?
So then, I did what I do when I am confused between certain words I Nadined "Climactic vs Climatic" and that would be easy enough even for Nadin to nadin.

If she had psychic powers, would she have married Bill Clinton? Or do you subscribe to the fatalist view of precognition Philip K. Dick explored in The World Jones Made?
Or would it be more like Majel Barrett on Babylon 5 where she saw herself as First Lady and Senator but didn't know the shit she would have to smile through to get there?

BTW, Tibet, Nepal, same difference.

Why wouldn't she have married Bill Clinton? You honestly think that relationship was about love? If she has psychic powers, she knew he was going to be Prez, ultimately allowing her to get "power". Seems to have worked out well for the lesbian. :stir:

One of my earliest sports memories is sneaking away from my group at the 1964 New York World's Fair to see the Amazin' Mets play at the brand-new Shea Stadium. I remember being stunned to see escalators in a stadium. I also remember Amado Samuel playing shortstop, and firing two double play balls into right field.
A schoolkid could do that back then, with good seats at maybe $5.
Also back then, a chaperone for a group of kids would simply designate a time and place for everyone to meet for the return trip the hotel. No one would panic if you disappeared for a few hours.
