Both sides of this never-never land of
From jameschirico we have this:
"400,000 year old Antarctic ices cores give a timeline going through a few ice ages and warming periods. The scientific evidence is clear. Nature has it's adjusting controls, more snowfall on Antarctica and jet stream change from pole to Canada. Those adjustments will take far too long leaving us with reduced krill population in the ocean and the possible true hypothesis of additional continental shifting from the weight redistribution caused by warming. Japan moved 13 feet with the last earthqua... ke."
It was the "continental shifting from the weight redistribution caused by warming" line that caught my interest. One of the problems I have with
The argument says that
On the subject of everything being caused by
In the first story, we're told that an especially cold winter caused by global warming is thought to have stopped millions of poppy seeds from germinating in Afghanistan, whereby some farmers will lose half their crop.
In the second story , we find out that the current crop of poppies is twice as potent as those grown at carbon dioxide levels seen in 1950.
If projections hold, the rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide will increase morphine levels three-fold by 2050 and by 4.5 times by 2090.
If this is to be believed, we'll have fewer poppies which will be more potent than ever.
(the article goes on to say that the increased CO2 levels that make opium poppies more potent, make for lower levels of nicotine in tobacco).
Hum........
As I said, everything we do causes
Time for a nap.
