Comments by "CatsRule" (@1133saginaw) on "Population Control Isn't the Answer to Climate Change. Capitalism Is." video.

  1. @BoulderPM That's because the disheveled guy on the street corner didn't have 10,000 scientists backing up his prediction. Climate Change is more like the discovery of a 500 mile wide asteroid, somewhere beyond the orbit of Jupiter, heading directly this way.

  2. There has to be some kind of control sometime. When mice populations get out of control they eat the new born - without question. Will human's do the same? Hopefully we are smarter than the mice, but controls will have to occur. Resources are not infinite.

  5.  @TeaParty1776  Catastrophic warming? That's a subjective term. Is the loss of all insects catastrophic? They know the world's coral reefs are tanking. The Amazon forests are dying. Oceans are warmer than they have been for thousands of years. How bad does it have to get before we start rethinking the religion of unlimited growth through capitalism?

  6. There is a MIT study , made in the 70's predicting the whole thing is going to collapse by 2030. It originally predicted 2025. http://alexanderhiggins.com/peak-civilization-mit-predicts-global-economic-collapse-by-2030/ Enjoy.

  8.  @TeaParty1776  Yes it is science. Turn off Lou Dobbs for a day and check out some actual science. The military is very concerned. They use the term 'catastrophic'. Whether you know it or not, Trump is on-board also. When he got through playing you clowns for all you're worth, he actually signed some legislation dealing with it. The military is worried about the pending sea level rise ( predicted by scientists) which will flood some major bases as well as a future "catastrophic" (their term) forced mass migration of people.

  11.  @skylanh4319  Mice will be here when we are gone. Following your plan that will be sooner than later. No one is going to inhabit another planet long term. It would be far, far too costly. Why not go the cheap route and fix the planet we have?

  12.  @skylanh4319  No one knows what is even on the planets. What are they going to mine? Sand? Whatever they find it will cost a million dollars a pound to bring it back.

  19.  @TeaParty1776  Capitalism is now way out of balance. The Democrats and Republicans seem to have given up on regulating it. Sooner or later, people with pitchforks will be hitting the streets. Read about the French Revolution. It won't be pretty.

  22.  @skylanh4319  They must be getting a tax break doing that, because I don't see it. They aren't even testing these methods. They would have to have funding equivalent to 1000 moon landings to even get equipment to the moon. They would have to mine for 200 years (assuming there is anything worth mining) to break even, so why do it?

  30.  @BradThePitts  12 more years left? Are you an idiot? She's saying, and most scientists back her up, that if we don't get a handle on this very soon, the climate will irrevocably spin out of control. The earth will go on for millions of years. Many plants and animals will adapt. Things will be just fine for many. The climate, however, will be increasingly unlivable for our comfort level..

  31.  @melainewhite6409  What does bicycles have to do with asteroids?????? I said Climate Change is going to hit is hard. it is a certainty (actually it has already begun). The severity is what is unknown. If middle America gets hit by severe drought or unrelenting rainfall for years on end, it could lead to famine HERE or wipe out our economy.

  32.  @lawrencemiller3829  Who predicted the sea level was going to rise four feet last year? You just pulled that out of your ass, didn't you?. Name a source. I've just been reading about the military planning, how they are preparing for climate change. Last year climate change caused eight billion dollars damage to bases. They are also preparing for "catastrophic population migrations" . Send me your shit hole source. Here's what the military us saying: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSAr9TO-PEA

  44.  @ultravioletxrays125  New technologies. New technologies. I live in Michigan. There is a power plant north of where I live , near Lake Michigan, Ludington to be exact, where they built a big reservoir along side the lake, about 500 ft. above it. At night, they pump Lake Michigan water up, during the day they drop water through turbines to generate power. No smoke, no radiation , just power.

  62.  @MilwaukeeF40C  That's like saying doctors don't know what they are talking about when a cancer patient dies in three years instead of two the doctor said he had to live. In the matter of climate change, from what I've read, climate change is accelerating faster than originally predicted.

  64.  @MilwaukeeF40C  Bangladesh will likely be under water within a few years due to climate change. They are Muslim. The population there is half that of the US. They will have to migrate somewhere or try to grab portions of Hindu India. See a problem here? See why the military is concerned? See how ignorant your comment is? To make matters worse, Bangladesh is closely allied with Pakistan, who has nuclear weapons. India has nuclear weapons. A conflict there could be unimaginable also.

  65. @Gyri Sulcie How many decades ago? Four? Five? Talk about pseudo science. You didn't even make a valid point. The government is taking climate change seriously.

  68.  @MilwaukeeF40C  THERE IS ONLY SEVERAL DECADES OF GOOD MEASUREMENTS. So you go home and smell smoke - your solution is wait until you see flames before you act? Eighteen of the warmest years ever recorded have occurred since the year 2000, while atmospheric atmospheric CO2 has increased 11% during that same time period. If the climate goes down the tubes, you will see what happens to the economy.
