@American hunter 255 That's why I said highly unlikely to happen.

[@gunnaryoung]

@Anti-fascist America, the alternatives, however are still dangerous either to us, the environment, or both and this is when they're operating correctly. Fossil fuels release pollutants, solar power requires large plots that negatively impact the environment even if they don't have to cut down a lot of trees to open up the land, even wind, although less harmful than most, does have a negative effect on bird populations and is not helpful where there isn't much wind. I would argue that the effects of a nuclear power plant not operating properly is about as dangerous as many other energy sources operating as they should.

Sorry to tell you, but you do in fact look stupid :(. The changes in climate prior to human civilization were caused by Milakovich cycles and past geochemistry.

The changes we see in the climate today are 100% from anthropogenic activities. CLIMATE CHANGE INDUCED BY HUMAN ACTIVITIES IS REAL.

Michael Bernard. "... Climate change Contrarians/Skeptics/Deniers often choose to spread Uncertainties/Misinformation/ & Doubt-filled but baseless questions, (It's Cosmic Rays, It's Ocean Currents, or any other infrequently heard of force/entity) , but the causes surrounding Global Warming Caused Climate Changes have been well-known by all science for a very long time now." -----> Over a Century in detail. “The narrative out there that scientists don’t know the cause of climate change is wrong,” The Claim: "That scientists don't know the degree to which Human/Industrial Activity influences Climate"! That is wrong. . Study lead author Benjamin Santer, an atmospheric scientist at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory said in a statement. . “We do!” The general mechanism is quite well understood! . We burn carbon-based fossil fuels. This process releases ancient stored carbon dioxide (and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere), which Resists, Traps & Redirects IR heat (which is attempting to escape to the cold of Space as a cooling effect for earth). There’s absolutely no doubt that the planet’s climate is getting hotter - decades’ worth of satellite & ground data clearly show . (Alexander von Humboldt coined the term and defined ' CLIMATE CHANGE ' in 1799) (Thomas Jefferson & John Adams discussed this changing climate from 1799 to 1804) (Science established human activities were causing these Global Climate Changes in 1811) . There’s Now Overwhelming evidence that points to human activity as the main culprit. While there are natural factors that can cause an equal and even greater impact, human activity is essentially a smoking gun here: the evidence indicates that all of this current global warming is caused by humans. . In this latest study, scientists carried out a statistical analysis of satellite climate data, identifying the anthropogenic fingerprints in climate change. . The analysis showed that humans are causing climate change to a confidence level of 5 sigma, the so-called gold standard of statistics - which translates a 99.9999% certainty. . In other words, there’s only a one-in-a-million chance that the pattern of atmospheric heating is not the result of human activity. . Science doesn’t really ever eliminate uncertainty - it just reduces it, and when the uncertainty reaches very low levels, then that’s essentially a scientific certainty. This isn’t the first study to strongly conclude that humans are causing climate change ==================================================================

Important climate change story The Arctic Ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot according to a report to the Commerce Department yesterday from the Consulate at Bergen, Norway. Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard of temperatures in the Arctic zone. Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes. Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the gulf stream still very warm. Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared. Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelts which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds. Within a few years it is predicted that due to the ice melt the sea will rise and make most coast cities uninhabitable. I forgot to mention that this report was from November 2 , 1922, as reported by the AP and published in The Washington Post 100 years ago.

[@rakooi]

Since Global Warming was already extensively researched back in 1799, by Alexander von Humboldt ... (who coined Climate Change) ... it comes as no surprise that there would be signs of Arctic Warming ... and surprise....it is still warming.

[@rakooi]

1859-----Testing the Heat-Trapping Ability of Gases John Tyndall, a British physicist, tested the gases in the atmosphere to find out which are responsible for the greenhouse effect. He found that nitrogen and oxygen, which make up almost all of the atmosphere, cannot trap heat, but that three Very Potent Trace gases present in smaller quantities do: 1. carbon dioxide, 2. ozone, and 3. water vapor. 4. Tyndall speculated that if the amounts of these gases dropped, it would chill the Earth 5. Conversely, if the amounts of these gases increased, it would WARM THE EARTH. 6. And so, modern industry has, since the late 19th century, proven this science...increased GH gases = increased temps

[@glasshalffull2930]

Wooh!!!! You had me going there! Just remember the scientists also told us the “tipping point” of CO2 concentrations was 400 ppm.

I'm happy for the Tufts University professor for being able to afford the solar panels, batteries, battery management systems, and labor required to take his large home off the grid. Doing so probably cost around $80k-$100k. The overall impact on the environment from his 1 home being taken off the grid will be so infinitesimally small, it would be virtually impossible to even measure. If anything, all he did was raise the demand for the rare earth elements required to build the solar panels and batteries, which is much worse than the impact would have been had he remained on the power grid. He _could_ have spent that $100k on building clean water wells in Africa, buying mosquito nets, providing housing for families, buying medicine for needy people, etc. Things that would have had a real, tangible, positive effect on the world. Instead, he chose to do something that only benefits himself, and pretty much just made himself _feel_ better. For all the grief liberals give conservatives about not following science, it's hard to find another group that bases their decisions and beliefs on feelings more than progressives and environmentalists.

you can go off the grid for a mere $100,000 and the government will pay for half of that. and you'll save $3000 per year in utility bills. (not a good investment). 3 hours in a private jet will use more BTU's than that and you do not see hypocrits in the government curtailing any use of those.

[@Unmannedair]

As a scientist, it saddens me to see so many people focused on the wrong questions here. It isn't a question of climate change existing or not existing. That definitely exists, the more pertinent question is how bad is it and what can we do? The answers to those questions are fairly straightforward and not discussed at all in any resemblance of the scientific method. The simple answer is we don't know, and nothing. We simply don't have the data to make accurate long term predictions, and the only thing that might change the status quo, if it is bad, is a complete change in global cultural usage of resources. The first problem will fix itself with time, but the second problem is where the circus begins. Half the solutions people are selling is snake oil, and the other half is wishful thinking based on misinformation. Electric cars are not greener, and wind power is even more destructive than hydroelectric power. Don't even get me started on all these wasteful idiotic recycling programs. I'm all for being ecologically responsible, but let's not kid ourselves huh. Drinking straws for example are not even close to being a serious problem. All the people that get sick from reusing a dirty steel straw are going to needlessly visit a hospital which are epic sources of waste flow. Most of us waste all kinds of resources around us simply because we don't think about it as being a type of waste. If there is a problem, then that is the real problem.

[@glory3339]

I reckon your wrong. Electric cars are greener. For diesel or petrol to get to your car. First they have to drill for it (which sometimes results in leakages), then they have to contain it ship it in huge shipping containers, refine it, then truck it long distances (a heck of a lot of diesel and pollution used in this stage), before it winds up at the local pump. As opposed to a electric car, which people can charge from home and which costs far less in fuel costs!!! What do you prefer, going to the fuel pump and paying $50.00 each fill up or charging from home for nothing , if you have solar panels as I do???!!! Also don't forget that electric cars have far fewer parts than diesel/petrol cars - no exhaust pipe, radiator, carb etc

[@Unmannedair]

@@glory3339 yes, and they're far more difficult to repair when they break. The solar panels require mining heavy metals for doping the silica crystals. The rubber on your tires still comes from petroleum, and if you don't have solar, then the energy for your car likely comes from some kind of petrol or coal. (Natural gas is still a petroleum product). The plastic that forms the bulk of the fiberglass is a toxic resin made from petroleum products. The wire insulation is a petrol derivative. The infrastructure for electric is all maintained by petrol products. The steel furnaces are run from natural gas. The massive amount of energy required to refine the aluminum in the car comes from the electric grid and likely is running of petrol. The dyes in the vinyl seats and dash are petrol products and the vinyl itself. The batteries require lithium which must be mined, and likely uses diesel mining equipment. Or in the event of hydraulic mining uses natural gas to remove the excess water from the lithium sludge. Then there is the metal, and plastic used to make the battery cases. Petrol products. TL;DR the point is that the carbon footprint your car made to be manufactured far exceeds any savings in carbon efficiency that you think you made. A far smaller footprint would be to fix and improve the vehicles we already have. I love everything electric, but most of what you just said is pure propaganda. Also, all those batteries have a 7 year average lifespan before needing replacement. The electronics in the car, heavy metals, also probably will need replacement in about 10 years or less depending on care.

[@glory3339]

Scott Strough, Researcher in carbon farming as a climate change mitigation strategy ** "There is no need to add additional taxes to combat climate change. The best bet is simply quit subsidizing those things causing AGW. ((world wide, Fossil Fuels & connected industries TAKE 6.5% of GDP ..TRILLIONS in subsidies/ supports))) . In most cases the newer more modern energy and agricultural systems are more profitable and less damaging to the environment already. So there is no need to tax people to subsidize those things harming the environment, then taxing us again to penalize those same ones we just subsidized! A house divided against itself cannot stand. -Lincoln (paraphrasing the Bible) It is time for a strong political leader to take charge and end this deadlock. We could either reduce taxes and let the new technologies out compete the obsolete systems we depend on now, or we could keep taxes the same and simply redirect the subsidies we use for fossil fuels and destructive industrialized agriculture towards modern sustainable systems instead. The one thing that won’t work is keep the tax and spend schemes the Neo-Luddites have made for themselves now, and also add even more tax and spend schemes for their competing new technologies too! Yes that’s right, the top two causes for global warming are heavily subsidized.[1][2][3][4] It is literally insanity. in·san·i·ty in'san?de/ noun the state of being seriously mentally ill; extreme foolishness or irrationality. We can reverse AGW though, and save money doing it. Here are three proposals. One made by me and two more similar ones. Here you can see how some might include a carbon market and ways we could do it without a carbon market. They are all workable. The main thing is that they are all stand alone solutions that have beneficial sides effects instead of detrimental side effects to the land and society. We should do them even if AGW wasn’t real. They would still be hugely beneficial all around. There is no negative down side. Win/win for all. Credit: Joel Pett | USA Today 1] Scott Strough's answer to Can we reverse global warming? Executive summary: Yes we can reverse Global Warming. It does not require huge tax increases or overly expensive untested risky technologies. It will require a three pronged approach worldwide. 1] Reduce fossil fuel use by replacing energy needs with as many feasible renewables as current technology allows. . ((solar & wind Cost less & are quicker to construct + + they produce FAR less expensive electricity than coal)) . Change Agricultural methods to high yielding regenerative models of production made possible by recent biological & agricultural science advancements. Large scale ecosystem recovery projects similar to the Loess Plateau project, National Parks like Yellowstone etc. where appropriate and applicable. 2] Project Drawdown The list is comprised primarily of “no regrets” solutions-actions that make sense to take regardless of their climate impact since they have intrinsic benefits to communities and economies. These initiatives improve lives, create jobs, restore the environment, enhance security, generate resilience, and advance human health.[5] 3] Farming a climate change solution Farmers have a golden solution to global warming largely missed by climate change pundits, right beneath their feet. The innovative Australian Soil Carbon Accreditation Scheme is showing how incentive payments can be received by landholders for measurable increases in soil carbon that soaks up CO2 from the atmosphere. Financial incentives could help fund soil restoration efforts, which in turn bring the bonus of greater productivity, drought resilience and even rain. The action is deep underground.[6] Footnotes [1] The $200 Billion Fossil Fuel Subsidy You've Never Heard Of (USA) [2] Fossil fuel subsidies are a staggering $5 tn per year | John Abraham [3] Fossil Fuel Subsidies Top $450 Billion Annually, Study Says (USA w various costs,supports) [4] Milking taxpayers [5] Solutions | Drawdown [6] www.amazingcarbon.com/PDF...
