The critters that live in the Gulf will eat anything; they love oil. They have been gobbling up natural seeps for millions of years. Makes the oysters even better.

How do you get around? Walk and bicycle everywhere? Do you have heat or a/c at home?

Not strictly true. Only specific oil-eating bacteria can manage that trick.

There aren't many of them around unless there's been a recent oil spill, an d it takes awhile before the population can grow to exploit the new resourc e.

Once the bacteria have eaten the oil, other creatures can eat them. It does n't happen overnight, and the oil spill will damage most of the critters th at live in the gulf until the bacteria have cleaned up most of it, so there will be fewer of them to eat up the oil-eating bacteria.

Part of the denialist mantra is that anybody who is a "sincere" believer in anthropogenic global warming should go in for quixotic and trivial gesture s that minimise the amount of CO2 they are personally responsible for injec ting into the atmosphere.

It would be a total waste of time - I worked out that my personal contribut ion to anthropogenic global warming advances climate armageddon by 5msec - and the denialist plan is to try to shame people into devoting their time t o tiny direct efforts to minimise global warming so that they don't have as much time to devote to the political efforts that might lead to effective society-wide action which would - incidentally reduce the incomes of the pe ople who pay for denialist propaganda out of the large incomes they make fr om digging up fossil carbon and selling it to be burnt as fuel.

John Larkin doesn't seem be one of those, so he's just one of the gullible suckers taht they are exploiting.

What's totally crazy is NY banning NG fracking. For the foreseeable future we are going to be burning hydrocarbons, you'd think we could agree that NG (natural gas) is the best. carbon-wise. And if we have it here at home (in state)... so much the better.

If you are going to critizise what people post, you should try to write bet ter yourself.

Maybe say " We lost power during Wilma and it was not restored for 3 weeks. " Wilma did not last 3 weeks.

The argument against fracking is the water aquifer contamination issue. Not going to do you any good to reduce global warming when you turn into a mut ant.

ot going to do you any good to reduce global warming when you turn into a m utant.

Right so with fracking there will be some surface water/ stuff leakage, an also in ground leakage. I figure NYS should require drillers to monitor all that, deal with problems, and if there's some big accident, then there is some common insurance. At the end of the day the driller has to pay for all that, and if it still pays for them, then... "Drill baby, drill !"

ot going to do you any good to reduce global warming when you turn into a m utant.

Not a strong argument. Fracking is only done where there is hydrocarbons a lready present. In other words there is already contamination. In additio n the NG is 10,000 feet down. I doubt if any water wells in New Yorkj are more than a 1000 feet deep. I think the ban is more to get votes from the ignorant.

in warming increases the "destructiveness" of these hurricanes by 15%.

It is hard to understand how someone so well educated and seemingly knowled geable in science can so completely fail to understand basic statistics. Of course the likely explanation is that you choose to distort the truth to prove a point you have already decided is correct.

Here is some data for you... the worst storms in the US...

1935, 1962, 1969, 1992, 2005, 2017, 2018

Notice the clustering in recent dates? For in one century, then three more in the last 18 years. You could throw 1992 with the more recent storms an d show 3 in 60 years then 4 in the most recent 30 years. Yeah, that's the sort of analysis you might try doing rather than cherry picking your data.

Do you not understand the issues with extracting using fracking techniques? I don't know how serious they are, but I can certainly see why people woul d be concerned. The fracking frackers won't even say what potentially toxi c compounds they are injecting into the soil so the effects can be studied.

That's unfair and inaccurate. Fred Bloggs does know stuff, and the stuff he knows is pretty much correct, and he can back it up with links to plausibl e authorities.

He does see the world from a rather pessimistic point of view, but that's n ot what makes a troll.
