Climate Change Report

ND and Hogg are struggling to stay half a step ahead of the flat earthers.

Bless your heart Luther, gotta be tough to go through life like you.

How about you take a look at the contributors to the blog before you draw yet another quick and wrong conclusion.

I can deduce from the subheading of the link: "A FREE-MARKET ENERGY BLOG"

lol.......careful not to fall off the edge of the earth.

Here’s a link for you from the same site.

So it does matter who pays them?

You don’t even need to ask that he once again jumped to a conclusion. The biography of that blog contributor isn’t even listed with the others. This footnote is all that’s listed.

Paul Driessen is senior policy analyst for several think tanks and author of Eco-Imperialism: Green power – Black Deathand other books and articles on energy, climate change, economic development and human rights.

Hopefully that is something we can adapt to over time. We are humans and that is what we do.

I, too, believe this course is most likely and most reasonable. Furthermore, if we could control climate should we?

 

[McDad]

Man is not attempting to stop the normal cycles. Man is attempting to better control the abnormal variable of man's impact from turning the normal cycles catastrophic.

How does one differentiate between normal cycle and abnormal variable?

Great question, its similar to should we use genetic modification.

 

[McDad]

if you are talking active solutions, I forget the fancy name for it, but "adverse weather reactions".

the world is made up of any number of different climates, there is no one solution fits all. and any active weather control (positive green actions) would have the same issues we have with climate change now. unless you hold it in perfect balance going negative on carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would be just as impactful as increased carbon levels.

I agree with your premise.

Lol... sure ya can.

Ethical implications are present. But, consider hurricanes. People on the gulf would certainly want hurricanes ended. Farmers in the southeast count on hurricane / tropical storm rain as a boost to the water table. Who's right; who wins?

Best course of action is to let mother nature do what mother nature does. To me the biggest effect mankind has had on the environment is rerouting rivers, draining swamp/wetlands and flood prevention.

I think i watched a PBS show (Nature?) about the Colorado river and the dams causing problems for the ecosystem from a lack of flooding.

All we have is the best scientific data currently available.

then do nothing.

That seems to be where you and Trump are in the vast global minority.

I always come back to an example near and dear to our East TN hearts - Kudzu

Again. Reading is your friend. I had that opinion long before Donald Trump was your President. And based on the energy consumption and sources world wide I’m far from im the minority.

Who said Trump had that opinion before you? I'll take you word for it, you were wrong before Trump, congrats.

Uhm. That sounds like an answer but it isnt. How do those who compile the observational data distinguish between a natural phenomena and something else?

By listening to Mick and Luther.

Which isn't much considering the age of our planet.

You missed the edit Forrest. I guess the majority of the world is wrong. You closet genius you...

How should I know? I'm not a climatologist. I just know that the vast majority of the world's best climatologist seem to be in agreement. Deferring to their expertise seems the wisest option. What's the alternative? Ignore them and hope that they're wrong?

It's still the best we have. Nothing changes that fact.
