CLIMATE HYSTERIA GOES UP A NOTCH (OR TWO)

@samueltyler2 Exactly. Don't bother trying to reason or talk sense to the non-sensical.

@GrinNude i hope that some who read it might be convinced by my comments.

@samueltyler2 I hope so too. God bless.

@ArishMell I wasn't proposing building solar farms I was advocating using existing roof space on houses and space on buildings and making them standalone entities and where they can actually put some back into the grid for storage. So when it is needed it is there.
We will run out of fossil fuels or countries will move away from producing/extracting them for others to use. The world has got to move to renewable energy sources and it can be done, we have also got to move to achieving 95% sustainability with everything we do in manufacturing things, and we have got to start not only protecting the environment but actually start enhancing it.
Farming has got to change the way it is done we need to get it back to organic, and remove the pesticides, herbicides and all the other chemical stuff we shove into the earth, it is not good for the environment and lots of it is going into the food we eat be it vegetables, or animal.
There is one very simple example if we lost the bee's and the ants, the humans are next to be extinct.

@Longleggedlady I largely agree - and in the long run I don't think all these solar farms and off-shore wind-turbines will be sustainable. Without crude-oil derivatives the latter especially, and their associated cables, transformers and so one could not be built and maintained in anything like their present form.

A lot of farmers are moving to something I think they call "Regenerative", which really means what their forefathers had been doing for generations - rotations of crops, fallow and animals - but given a trendy name.

@Longleggedlady Serious question for you. What is renewable energy? How do we attain it? While all the trendies think of solar or wind or biomass all of these have massive impacts and most of them take more energy to produce than the energy they provide. Solar panels are a prime example. They last 10 years and then need to be replaced. The amount of material in them that is a huge consumer of energy to refine or otherwise produce makes them worse than relying on coal. Then there is the disposal problem. What do you do with all the solar panels that no longer provide enough energy? What do we do with them? Again the energy needed to recycle the bits that can be recycled is greater than the energy produced in the life time of the panels.

@SilkandLace2 We do. What we don't usually have to call it is ocean-killing, emergency advisory, system overwhelming summertime.

@helenS Oh look someone who doesn't understand science. Now THAT IS FUNNY!!!!

@helenS Exactly ! We are smoking a brisket outside right now ! Scientific climate community ? That’s an oxymoron 😉.

@TexChik 😏

@Graylight The idea that there is a 97% ‘consensus’ among scientists that humans cause the majority of warming is a whopper as big as they come, not least because holding that view is beyond current scientific knowledge.

This latter ubiquitous claim was recently revisited ina short essaypublished by the CO2Coalition. It arose from a 2013 paper published by John Cook and asserted that 97% of 11,944 peer-reviewed science papers explicitly endorsed the opinion that humans had caused the majority of the warming of the last 150 years. Alas, 7,930 of those papers took no position on anthropogenic change and were excluded from the 97% claim. It was subsequently revealed that only about [b][c=BF0000]0.5%, [/c][/b]of the papers explicitly stated that recent warming was mostly human caused.

@WalterF does it really matter if as little as 25% was caused by humans(do not state that i lowered my own opinion, i just used this as an example), in activities that can be curtailed? The bottom line in this argument is that at least some of climate change is related to human activities, and we owe it to the earth to try to eliminate as much as possible any further damage we might do to our environment. How many species are now extinct compared to even 25 years ago?

@samueltyler2 Unilateral Western efforts to cut CO2 emissions based on climate pseudo-science are doubly unjustified as there is no likelihood of the world’s developing economies following suit. President Xi Jinping has reiterated that China will not be bound by the Paris Agreement and is on a spree of building coal-fired power stations which will still be running 60 years from now[b]. The UK generates just 1% of global CO2 emissions[/b] so prime minister Rishi Sunak’s insistence that we must press ahead with ruinous and unachievable Net Zero is, in these circumstances, clear proof that Net Zero has nothing to do with “tackling climate change”.

Political.

Serving the "Great Reset"

@Carissimi Don't tell the Greeks, Italians, etc., even some in parts of America, who did suffer a terrible heat-wave.

No-one was lying, although the use of "boiling" by a politician, or mis-reporting by local journalists, is foolish. The UN bloke should have known too many people are daft enough to take his metaphor literally.

No-one has had the same heat-waves everywhere, and no-one has claimed they did.

Elsewhere, as in the British Isles, the weather has been very unseasonable but not extreme: a very dry June followed by a cool, wet July. While last year we had an unusually dry and sometimes hot, Summer. Still all part of something bigger.

Why are you lying? It’s been proven. I heard the news reports and the debunking of those news reports. I experienced the weather when they reported a heatwave in my area. It was cool. Other very hot areas were experiencing usual summer temperatures. They reported the Nevada desert was having a heatwave. The desert for crying out loud.

You know for as many years as I can recall, you have always tried to negate anything I post. Are you a professional troll, or just like to be a contrarian. Don’t bother with a response. I’m done with you. @ArishMell

@TexChik

@WalterF Not only are we still here but we can't detect any change!

@BizSuitStacy Big oil al gore, fixer john kerry and controlled greta pushing an agenda that ultimately is looking to enact "legal" control mechanisms for humans and generated consent for these goals.

@gol979 🎯

@gol979 LOL!

Yes - him! You'd think someone in his position would use proper terms and speech about genuine and very serious problems with genuinely very difficult possible solutions, not hysterical metaphors that play to the wilfully ignorant and the deniers (often the same people).

He is a politician though, and despite having any number of technical advisors to help them, most politicians of all flavours are not noted for understanding anything technical.

Walter - not sure if you really believe that or are being satirical! :-)

@ArishMell hes not a politician. We cant even have the illusion of voting these cretins out of power

@gol979 Those are two different things. Depending on your nation, you can be a 'politician' whether voted in by a free election or not: it simply describes the role.

I agree the Head of a UN body is not a politician in a governmental or party way, and not elected in the conventional way; but the roles of the UN and its constituent bodies are still political in that their recommendations or advice can be taken into individual nations' laws, or be used to influence governmental decisions.

For example, many of the more significant "Directives" (framework-level laws) issued by the European Union for translating into EU-nation laws originate in UN and other international treaties and regulations; and it is surprising just how many of these international bodies and agreements there are. (I think my country, the UK belongs to, or is a signatory of, about 90. )

@Strictgram we are really making up for it on Sept.

@samueltyler2 And... ? you mean this demonstrates global boiling?

@WalterF You are a one-line poster. Climate change is different from weather. Id you want to look at it scientifically, and you appear to not be able to accept the actual science, the average water temperature in the oceans is what matters, and has increased already.

When you do look at weather patterns, you MUST not look at day to day temperatures, but ranges and patterns. July was very hot, August was not, so far, September is very hot. If you look at the average temperature during those months, then, the average temperature is likely higher than in the past decade.
