It's a bit like doomsday cults. 11 years is oddly specific. Might as well be an exact day where mass suicide will take place on the 23rd hour.


Math & time are oddly specific.. calculations & forecasts have been made.


The acidifying waters are great for jellyfish. These guys are becoming more common.

Environmental restrictions won't work if the demands are made of only developed Western nations, as they almost always are. If you can't get China, India, and Russia on board, and you almost certainly can't, then they are useless.

Hah, my whole adult life it's been 10 years left, or 15, and it used to alternate between global warming, global cooling, or exponential population growth, but now they've just settled on "climate change" because they can claim virtually anything is caused by it.

Sure it's happening but if the whole world isn't on board with a reasonable solution then there isn't one.

A lot of people don't seem to understand this simple fact.
Quite worrying.

It's kind of like being on a sinking ship where some countries are bailing out water and plugging holes to keep the ship afloat while India, China, Russia and the US are making more holes to allow water back in.
