Boa Constrictor arguments

Well, there are a lot of people who hate for Global Warming to be real, because it means they have to change they way they do business. Behind every voice speaking out against it, there's a carbon-producing business.

It's also easy for people to be confused when they aren't seeing warmer weather all the time. They believe this means the earth isn't warming.

The ice caps are where the story is located. They are shrinking. They're shrinking BIG TIME, and dumping COLD water as they melt--that cold water is what's leading to cooler weather in some areas. You can't look out the window and judge global warming based on your local weather.

Glaciers? Disappearing. Ice caps? Disappearing. There's a reason polar bears are faring so poorly. They rely on sea ice to hunt. The sea ice is forming late, and melting earlier and earlier.

This is irrefutable. It is happening, and it's a snowball effect, pardon the pun. White reflects light. Once the ice is gone, less light is reflected, it's absorbed, and it heats things up faster.

Did humans do it? Not entirely--we just sped it up. We can slow it down a smidgen by laying off the carbon dioxide production, but we CANNOT stop it. All we can do is buy time to figure out how to move our coastal cities. Or take after Venice. The warming cycle is simply due to begin. It's also due to end, and we have a pretty good idea of what will end it. It just won't be very pretty. Its name is Yellowstone Caldera.

The earth's been through ALL of this before. It's just that time again. We see it coming, but people are dithering so much because the real truth is really hard to take--we can't do anything about it. The real problem is going to arise when the breadbasket of the US succumbs to repeated drought and desertification begins. There certainly won't be any boas living there then.

Using climate change as an excuse to call pythons injurious wildlife is not only absurd because it's unproven, but because climate change will make the areas uninhabitable for them again eventually anyhow, even if it does happen.
