Global Warming is over.

The stamping on toilet paper is in English too, doesn't mean it's good for more than one thing...

I kill spiders in my bathroom with toilet paper. 2 uses. Suck it!

Yes I am sure there has never been a city sized chunk of ice floating around in the worlds oceans before

imagine my surprise that the nutjob holed up in a small town in montana is only thinking about this at the local scale

one chunk is one data point in a much greater set, on a global scale

The climate is always changing but 47.8c (118F) today in western suburbs of Sydney is BS hot

EDIT: ended up cracking 48.9c (120F)

Ok. Let's say I agree with you and it's man's fault for the hot weather. What is the cure?

A pandemic that wipes out 80% of the population is probably the only thing that can stop it.

People are hypocrites they want climate action by everyone else but themself and anything that impacts them they whinge about.

Now the focus should be dealing with the inevitable

Not surprised with the extra high temps the lately you guys, Digger. Earth is at perihelion, and the southern hemisphere is in summer.

i was imagining a pandemic that was more deadly across the board. With this pandemic the most devistating consequnces are with the elderly thats not to say younder people cant die but it seems even if governments had let it run its course it probably isnt enough. Perhaps the intrevention measures of governments around the world will impact the economy and society to the extent that there still is a stepwise reduction

I gots news for all of you. this little flu bug has repercussions and its going to set the "green energy" agendas back about a decade. Conventional fuels are about to get very cheep for the foreseeable future and economically shove green to the back burner for at least the next decade

[Kershaw]

And that's a good thing?

[mrsleeve]

Depends on your perspective.... and how you view how the world works.

Sure the massive global downturn will make fossil fuels cheap - it has- but renewables like solar and wind have progressed so far, and continue to, and they may still be cheapest. And that is ultimately going to turn the tide and cause more and more big decision makers to adopt. The 2008 collapse was a blow to renewables, especially Solar at the time, but it made that industry way leaner and stronger and Countries other than ours, namely China, doubled down and invested heavily. It ended up progressing the industry further along that it would have been otherwise.

It is sort of mind blowing that the Country could have converted the entire US Power grid to 100 percent renewable energy with less than the money/debt we've blown on the COVID-19 response, which is also much less than what we've spent on the "War on Terror" over the last decade. This country could achieve a lot if we had our priorities in different places.

"...we do not do things because they are easy, we do them because they are hard..." can mean two very different things, pending how they are looked at. America is way overdue for an infrastructure renovation.
