These are PREDICTIONS... Not facts.
Every global disaster prediction has been wrong so far. The polar cap has not melted, the rising sea levels have not swallowed Miami Beach, drama,
drama, drama.
Why not use a crystal ball? Cheaper than the wasted tax money these PC scientists are costing us... with the same results!

Are you under the impression that these things happen overnight? You think predictions based on scientific findings are pointless? You think everyone
should just wait until they find themselves in the midst of a disaster and only then start to talk about it and try to mitigate the damage? That's an
idiotic viewpoint.
If you were notified that there was only enough water left in your area to last for the next 2 months, and drought conditions meant that wouldn't be
changing, would you just continue to use water indiscriminately and not make any plan for how you were going to survive without water?
If a powerful hurricane was PREDICTED to make landfall where you live, given that we know that hurricanes can change course or weaken, would you
simply ignore the hurricane warnings, fail to secure anything, or make any evacuation plans, since it hasn't happened yet?

I've seen this comment often from DK. Money seems to be an issue. If the issue were reversed and the GOP rallied around money to study climate
change, or head it off, or make people aware, he'd be all in.
California is in a drought. Deny deny deny.
US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.
What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.

AP-NORC poll: Many in US doubt their own impact on climate
https://www.yahoo.com/news/ap-norc-poll-many-us-041610056.ht...
Roughly two-thirds of Americans say the U.S. federal government, developed countries abroad and corporations and industries have a large
responsibility to address climate change. Fewer — 45% — say that of individual people.
Jack Hermanson, a 23-year-old software engineer, feels strongly that corporations are the “major culprits” of emissions and that the government is
complicit in that behavior.
I don’t know if that makes sense to say that individuals should have to work and fix the climate,” the Denver resident said. “I would say my
individual actions hardly mean anything at all."
U.S. household greenhouse gas emissions are not as much as those from cars, trucks and other transportation, electrical power generating and industry.
A 2020 University of Michigan study of 93 million U.S. homes estimates that 20% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions comes from home energy use, with
wealthier Americans’ per capita footprints about 25% higher than low-income residents.

Wake me up when China, Russia, and India decide to take climate change seriously.
Right now it is just an excuse to tax and control the US population.
Can't wait for the Red wave to reverse what all these loons have done.

Half pint,
Why do you hate your progeny? Can’t think of any excuse why you want to leave the world worse off!
Woke!

Personally, It's becoming harder and harder to find a vehicle that gives me 48mpg like my 1200 cc 1974 Datsun, my 41 mpg 1981 Honda Civic, my 48mpg
1984 2.2 liter diesel Toyota pickup or better yet 52 mpg like my 1997 Saturn station wagon. All hwy mileages in Imp gal of course. It's really hard to
see what benefit all those costly regulations have achieved lately. Heavier, faster, more HP, more breakdowns, and I don't see much gain presently.
The best of those was the Saturn, 345000 km and still no body rust, regular oil changes, brakes times 4, rotors twice, muffler once. Then GM shut
Saturn down because they weren't making any money repairing and replacing them.

We have a charger set up at our building site so we can charge from our panels during the day. At night we charge off of La Paz power (CFE) that burns
the dirtiest oil on the planet! We get back and forth on electricity.
Goat,
How many KW of solar do you own?

Solar for vehicles, boats, homes use is very good.
Solar/wind for the power grid is the dumbest idea of all time.

Where I live it is 5 degrees hotter than yesterday. What more proof do you need.
What I'm doing at work is so secret, even I don't know what I'm doing!
One should believe in God, because even Google doesn't know everything.

Half pint,
What’s “dumb” about utility-scale solar and wind?
Seems to be working….

Horrible for the environment. Unreliable. Way too expensive.
