How so?
OK Maybe scam's a bad word since I'm not being scammed by anyone. Being fed bad info is closer to the truth. You see when standing in water up to my neck and it's approaching my nose it's of little interest to me whether the water's rising or I'm sinking. I'm either seeking higher ground along with millions of others or drowning. On the other hand if I and billions of others could modify their behavior so the water stopped rising then that would be better. And even if said modifications did not stop the water from rising but just made the air,land,and water cleaner it's still a big win.

Not sure why the believers need resort to personal attacks. It doesn't say much for the ability to back up the reasons for feelings of doom, does it? Tuvalu is bigger even though seas rising at double the average. And they plan to make high density housing.

And when you have more skin between your nose and the water, it doesn't matter whether water is lowering or you're growing...things are improving in your situation. And if you're busy planning for bigger better housing, the whole emergency scenario goes out the window.

@Art Deco, I am reading the latest non-fiction from Michael Lewis. It reads like Stephen King. I love the 'Dragon' in the book. She is heroic and needs to sometimes do things like remove someone's lungs with garden loppers. You can't make this stuff up. It is called the Premonition. And yes, the subject of this book is spot on topic here.
Totally off topic. I saw my office neighbor dumping wine down the sink a second ago. She was just on the Today Show.

Speaking of floods, fire season here has been replaced by flood season. Am currently experiencing
our daily deluge. The street out front has become a stream. It´s biblical out there; I glad we´re on high
ground. This is supposed to continue for the next ten days.
. Flooding´s nothing new here; we geta pineapple express almost yearly, but this one is unprecedented in scale. This is bound to create
mudslides aplenty. Nope, I take it back; I ain´t ridin´ in this stuff! I´d be drenched B4 I could reach
the end of the driveway.

@PedalUma I looked it up. Added it to my List, but the List is long while Life is short. Anyway, I decided to re read a big work of fiction for the coming of the cold weather this year. As I mentioned something escapist that I already know the storyline, not something new to gamble on. Probably something with an elf or an alien race in it.
Dune.

In the "Premonition" (non-fiction) the homes of very wealthy people were burred in toxic muck a few pages ago. The ones who did not listen to the Dragon died. And the Dragon who has super powers made an ethical dilemma call that killed 7 mothers of billionaires to save 93, and she had to remove the feet of an athlete to save him.

The missing Click Bait is a picture of a venomous toad in a suit that I think we have all seen before.

This new and improved four seasons of Fire, Flood, Dust, and Mud often predicted by scientists ? Purely a coincidence.Speaking of floods, fire season here has been replaced by flood season. Am currently experiencing
our daily deluge. The street out front has become a stream. It´s biblical out there; I glad we´re on high
ground. This is supposed to continue for the next ten days.

Here in B.C. we are currently experiencing floods and winds not seen for decades (if ever). Both Merritt and Princeton B.C. are completely evacuated today.

Flood warnings and watches were issued for areas from Merritt south to the United States border, the lower Fraser region and sections of southern Vancouver Island.

I hope you are okay Dave. I predict that south central Saskatchewan will be hit hard this year due to climate change. Strong winds (100Km) and blowing snow are expected across southern Saskatchewan tonight and Tuesday. But who knows, I could be wrong? At least the winds are obeying the speed limit.

I'm fine mate. I'm up a large hill from that picture so we're safe here so far.
I've lived here over 60 years and never seen this sh!t before. Add the incredible fires this past summer and no... there's no climate change... of course not...

Just wow. I hadn't looked at the weather. Are you safe and packed to leave ?Here in B.C. we are currently experiencing floods and winds not seen for decades (if ever). Both Merritt and Princeton B.C. are completely evacuated today.

I see you are ok. Might be a while before the roads are usable. I can't imagine trying to evacuate in that .

Thanks mate.
Yeah I'm good. I live in a burb of Vancouver called Delta. All roads into and out of Vancouver are closed unless you are going to Washington state.
There are hundreds of people trapped in cars on highways since yesterday afternoon.
Rain has stopped here, but gusts of wind 70 - 90kph.
Will be time to mop up and drain for the rest of the week here. Not at my place but near here and all over B.C. I'm lucky to live at a higher elevation.
There are numerous fibreoptic cable cuts that have made a mess of comms here (my business), so today has been... busy...
