How is it even possible, though? The busses only go to the MCRDs, right? At least the ones that have "recruits-to-be." And they go to the "yellow foot print" sites. And that's where they're met by "Receiving DIs." Are they saying that a bus driver got so F'ed Up they actually delivered HS students there? Or, was this, perhaps a case where the MCRD hosted "guests" like a group of teachers of others?

Climate Change Predictions from "An Inconvenient Truth" and Current Status in 2025​


In *An Inconvenient Truth* (2006), Al Gore presented a compelling case for the urgency of addressing climate change. The documentary detailed the science behind global warming and warned of its severe consequences if greenhouse gas emissions were not reduced. Below is a summary of the major predictions Gore highlighted and an assessment of where we stand in 2025.

Key Predictions in *An Inconvenient Truth*
1. Rising Global Temperatures:
Gore predicted that global average temperatures would continue to rise, leading to more heatwaves and extreme weather events.

2. Melting Polar Ice Caps:
He warned that ice in Greenland and Antarctica would melt at accelerating rates, contributing significantly to sea-level rise.

3. Rising Sea Levels:
Gore suggested that rising temperatures would lead to the thermal expansion of water and ice melt, threatening low-lying areas and coastal cities.

4. Increased Frequency and Intensity of Natural Disasters:
The film highlighted that hurricanes, floods, droughts, and wildfires would become more frequent and intense due to warming oceans and shifting climate patterns.

5. Ecosystem Disruption and Extinction:
Gore warned that many species would face extinction as their habitats changed or disappeared.

6. Health Impacts:
He linked global warming to increased heat-related illnesses, respiratory diseases from worsening air quality, and the spread of vector-borne diseases like malaria.

7. Economic and Social Instability:
He forecast that these environmental changes would lead to widespread economic disruption, food insecurity, and displacement of populations, exacerbating geopolitical tensions.

Where We Stand in 2025
1. Rising Global Temperatures:
- The global average temperature has risen approximately 1.2°C above pre-industrial levels (2025 data), which aligns with Gore's predictions of warming trends.
- Heatwaves have become more frequent and severe, with record-breaking temperatures observed globally.

2. Melting Polar Ice Caps:
- Ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica are melting faster than predicted in 2006. Satellite data confirms significant ice loss, contributing to global sea-level rise.

3. Rising Sea Levels:
- Sea levels have risen by about 4 inches (10 cm) since 2006, consistent with projections. Low-lying areas like Miami, Venice, and island nations face chronic flooding.

4. Increased Frequency and Intensity of Natural Disasters:
- Hurricanes, wildfires, and floods have intensified, matching Gore's warnings. For example, 2023 saw record-breaking wildfires in Canada and severe flooding in Pakistan and Europe.

5. Ecosystem Disruption and Extinction:
- Biodiversity loss has accelerated. Studies estimate nearly 1 million species are at risk of extinction, including many marine and polar species affected by warming oceans.

6. Health Impacts:
- Heat-related deaths and diseases such as dengue and malaria are on the rise, especially in tropical and subtropical regions.
- Air pollution, exacerbated by fossil fuel use and wildfires, is causing widespread respiratory problems.

7. Economic and Social Instability:
- Climate migration is increasing, with millions displaced by extreme weather and rising seas. Food and water scarcity are leading to heightened tensions in vulnerable regions.

Conclusion
While some of Gore's predictions seemed dire at the time, most have materialized to varying degrees by 2025, with some, like ice melt and extreme weather, occurring faster than anticipated. Global efforts, such as the Paris Agreement

Just one correction re: #2. There is an underwater volcano that has been erupting for some time which is causing ice to melt but it is only on one side of Antarctica. The other side though is adding ice faster than the melting side so Antarctica’s ice volume is actually growing.

Volcanoes under the ice in Antarctica appear to contribute to the melting glaciers above.

This is my best response to the climate change freaks..... So the earth is billions of years old, right? and their doomsday predictions are based on about a 150 years of accurate weather data..... So divide 150 years by a billion and that's the percent accuracy you are making predictions on....really.
