We will return to the sea slowly but surely.

We are returning to the sea. We came from the sea, we will regrow gills and return. It is a natural process. This climate change is not a crisis, it is part of the constant change the world experiences. No need to panic. When our amphibian forefathers crawled on land they probably panicked a little also.

"sauce"? I drink a little saltwater to prepare for the inevitable. Getting ready for the octopuses garden!

The rising sea levels will have a big impact on low lying real estate such as in Florida. Getting a house on the beach may sound great but in reality you can end up being under water....

I think that our sun will probably supernova or burn out before your evolution theory happens. I am supremely confident that those who are alive today will be long gone before your theory is proven true. Of course, there have been politicians screaming an assortment of impending climate disasters within 10 years... for the last 50 years but that is another story for a different thread.

Yes - another possibility.

And yes the doomsayers have been around since the middle of the last century. Maybe longer.

Either way though - a change, it is a comin'. Just not soon.

our sun is way too small to ever be a super nova so you show your total lack of science
we have about 5 billion years to when it will go to a red giant
then it will collapse in a white dwarf but earth will be gone

lots of marine mammals but none have gills even after millions of years in the water

"so you show your total lack of science"
uncalled for - total lack of civility.

I used supernova because people have heard the word and understand the idea. The term can be used is a broad sense of the word.
Quote:
A supernova is the explosion of a star. In an instant, a star with many times the mass of our own Sun can detonate with the energy of a billion suns. And then, within just a few hours or days, it dims down again. Some explode into a spray of gas and dust, while others become exotic objects like neutron stars or black holes.

Technically, any star can explode at the end of its stellar lifespan. A red giant is also a possibility and either way it will be a bad day for planet earth.

Just because one can use both hands equally well does NOT qualify them to be an overlord

I seldom comment on things I know little about
and even check on line before posting a bit

I do note no objections to his mis-info or the nut con screed that belongs in parf
