In a debate, taking a position of authority because some how your opinion is stronger due to "because I go this school or I study this field". Is an extremely poor argument. You need to debate the subject not stand on your ivory tower and look down on me or others.
Also this is a fucking joke.

your comment is an excellent illustration of the problem
the discussion is mostly being had by people who watch south park and not people who went to school to study environmental scienceLast edited by decay; 11-28-2022, 07:55 PM.Leave a comment:

Very nice.
California is out here trying to ban the sale of any new gasoline car after 2035, yet our power grid still sucks ass. Yesterday they were like don't charge your EV and try not to use the AC.
When I work on my comp during a heat wave, I'm constantly saving over and over again in fear of the random 1 second blackouts looooool.Leave a comment:

The science is settled we are all contributing to the climate emergency and we all must stop doing anything that uses any kind of fossil fuels...... The world is on the cusp of a mass exctinon event and its all the fault of all the rich western white people.
There did I get that right this time guys??????

In all seriousness you have a very realistic and normal viewpoint, I have espoused the same for the last 2 decades, and I agree with you in totalityLeave a comment:

My opinion is still that climate changes are way too complicated chaos theory that could be modelled with our current scientific capacity. We cannot even predict weather reliably even it is many magnitudes easier computational task.
And our statistics about climate are way too short compared to the whole history of earth to actually predict anything.
So there is not proper "science" behind the claims that it is human made co2 that surely or even likely causes the current local phenomena like hot weather or dryness. Just politics and media hyperbola which sells!
When said that, we should reduce pollution. Renewal fuels & energy sources should be developed more and stop dumping shit to nature & seas. If we don't, we'll die swimming in plastic shit and various poisonous substances.Leave a comment:

Scientists are still saying that our co2 emissions remain a culprit of global warming. This article isn't evidence against manmade climate change and therefore not an excuse to abandon pollution clean up or stop improving green energy capture.Just how much this declining reflectivity has boosted recent warming is hard to quantify, says Stuart Jenkins, a doctoral student at the University of Oxford who is also studying the aerosol decline. In forthcoming work, Jenkins will show there’s just too much natural variability in the past 20 years to pick out the effect of clearer skies.
Whatever the exact contribution, it is sure to grow as air quality continues to improve around the world. The answer isn’t to keep polluting, says Jan Cermak, a remote-sensing scientist at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. “Air pollution kills people. We need clean air. There is no question about that.” Instead, efforts to reduce greenhouse gases need to be redoubled, he says.Leave a comment:

This one too....
With President Biden in town today on a climate change mission, will this come up?
His climate czar, the Bay State’s own John Kerry, is a high-class polluter. Fox News is reporting Kerry’s private family jet emitted over 300 metric tons of carbon since Biden took office.
That, says U.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan, is “smug” and “hypocritical” all while Kerry’s climate moves are “hammering middle-class families.”Leave a comment:

LOL! Gotta read the article!
It’s one of the paradoxes of global warming. Burning coal or gasoline releases the greenhouse gases that drive climate change. But it also lofts pollution particles that reflect sunlight and cool the planet, offsetting a fraction of the warming. Now, however, as pollution-control technologies spread, both the noxious clouds and their silver lining are starting to dissipate.
Using an array of satellite observations, researchers have found that the climatic influence of global air pollution has dropped by up to 30% from 2000 levels. Although this is welcome news for public health—airborne fine particles, or aerosols, are believed to kill several million people per year—it is bad news for global warming. The cleaner air has effectively boosted the total warming from carbon dioxide emitted over the same time by anywhere from 15% to 50%, estimates Johannes Quaas, a climate scientist at Leipzig University and lead author of the study. And as air pollution continues to be curbed, he says, “There is a lot more of this to come.”Leave a comment:

But you know, the climate Czar of the US is helping keep a small carbon footprint. You know, lead by example?
