It's necessary in order to spread the message. The message is most important.
 
Or the attitude of the First Peoples (Indigenous). We don't own the future, we borrow it from our children...

Rather than think climate change and the corona virus as science, think of it as the wrath of God. Feel any better?

I think dik means that the typical "first nations" is seen as understanding their stewardship of the environment ... a natural conclusion when you are a subsistence culture. But I do think this is somewhat of a "trope" ... our modern view of a lost (ideal?) past.

another day in paradise, or is paradise one day closer ?
 
...but true, nonetheless.

Think about it a bit, Tug... I'm pretty sure it will come to you. [pipe]

Playing the hypocrisy card, nice one. Classic BTL gambit that has earned a lot of airmiles.

I don't follow? What are first people? What did indigenous people tell us about CO2 in the atmosphere? How are they relevant to this conversation?
 
The original inhabitants of North America... came from Asia about 25,000 years back.

How did they explain the ice bridge they crossed in the Bering Sea disappearing? Did they blame it in fossil fuels?
 
Take a gander, Tug... Canadian History lessons from 40 years back when we homeschooled our youngest... the entire series is great... with climate change, we accomplished in decades what it has taken millions of years in geologic time.

Berengia, I guess it wasn't an ice bridge, it was a land bridge.



Interesting numbers, it formed 38,000 years ago and was at it's maximum prominence 20,000 years ago when the indigenous (can't really call them indigenous yet, maybe nomadic) peoples crossed. During that time, sea levels were 400 feet lower than they are today.

Or local native tribe was the Ohlone. They made shell mounds around the edges of the bay that are still above sea level. This goes back to 800 B.C. This means there hasn't been significant sea level rise in the last 3000 years shortening the timeframe that 400 foot rise must have occured in.

We have 4800 inches of sea level rise over 17,000 years which is 0.28 inches per year.

According to NASA, sea level is rising 3.4mm or 0.13 inches per year.

Tell me why I should be alarmed?
