For the benefit of members who have not had an opportunity to study Geology and paleontology. The following passage from Wikipedia's page on the Trilobite sums up how real climate change including plate tectonics affects any species on Earth:

"Trilobite fossils are found worldwide, with thousands of known species. Because they appeared quickly in geological time, and moulted like other arthropods, trilobites serve as excellent index fossils, enabling geologists to date the age of the rocks in which they are found. They were among the first fossils to attract widespread attention, and new species are being discovered every year.


Fossil hunters look for trilobites and other fossils in Penn Dixie Fossil Park and Nature Preserve.

In the United States, the best open-to-the-public collection of trilobites is located in Hamburg, New York. The shale quarry, informally known as Penn Dixie, stopped mining in the 1960s. The large amounts of trilobites were discovered in the 1970s by Dan Cooper. As a well-known rock collector, he incited scientific and public interest in the location. The fossils are dated to the Givetian (387.2 - 382.7 million years ago) when the Western New York Region was 30 degrees south of the equator and completely covered in water. The site was purchased from Vincent C. Bonerb by the Town of Hamburg with the cooperation of the Hamburg Natural History Society to protect the land from development. In 1994, the quarry became Penn Dixie Fossil Park & Nature Reserve when they received 501(c)3 status and was opened for visitation and collection of trilobite samples. The two most common found samples are Eldredgeops rana and Greenops.

This is not a post calling you a liar. Lots of folks post all kinds of things, but never any facts & data to back it up.

That you don’t understand the most basic premise of the theory is obvious here. Hint: it’s not amount of temperature change.

1970's scare meme was the Earth was cooling and entering the next ice age, food shortages and mass starvation. Gasoline was gong to be scarce by 1995. Nuclear energy is unsafe. Killer bees. Ozone depletion.

Just off the top of my head.

Could have fooled me given your air-tight logic. Those high rent places are never going to cost feasible no matter who their other RWNJ neighbors might be, uh, duh!

I think using dead plants and animals (known as fossil fuels) is the better use of dead things. The Earth has been making fossil fuel materials for 4 billion years. We've been using fossil fuels in earnest for about 150 years. There is still plenty left. Why kill new whales when we can use the old dead whales first?

That will always happen. Always no matter who is near the land and especially how cheap the alternatives are. Those "Residents" include, should be, everyone and more than you just mentioned. I don't know why your side likes to divide with a social issue. Could it be the lack of ideas? Every accusation is an admission of guilt or playbook, it's not hard to see and quite predictable.

Go take a cruise past Lafayette IN. They are there for miles and miles and see tens of thousands. I don't want them in my back yard either which is why I live in an established area. Yeah I guess I miss the point you are trying to make. This is boring.
