Meanwhile, the Climate Change heroes continue to buy mansions on the beaches that are supposedly going to be covered in rising sea water. And their foot soldiers are all too eager to go out and push for a bunch of so called solutions that all come back to more handicapping of the American way of life and further push toward socialist agendas.
Would be funny if it wasnt such a threat to society.

But the American apologists will die on their keyboard (virtual sword) trying to right what they perceive as social wrongs. Until their sissy butts have to be saved by the men that they so despise.

Blackfoot Glacier was also better this year although I didn't actually climb it but it's entirely visible from Jackson Glacier.

The only threat to society is fiddling while rome burns!

The only sissies in this story are the climate change deniers that are afraid of the facts and the truth!

Goat, SF&H, etc…

Do any of you question why the leaders of your movement do not live as they expect the peasants to live?

Honest answers only please

You all focus on a very few people that occasionally fly private. You can’t see the forest for the trees, and you seem to be jealous of the rich, like many other failed poor people.
Seems like you failures would like communism, get you some loot you seem so jealous of.

I guess you're referring to overconsumption, waste, and self-concern. Gun violence the leading cause of the death of American children. Yep, protect your "right" to the "American way of life" with your last dying breath.

S,

Which part of “you can’t do anything about it because you can’t get the real polluters onboard” don’t you understand?

The Chinese, Russians and Iranians aren’t coming to your party! They account for a majority of the problem!

Go preach to them!

All the poor countries in Asia, Africa, and South America don't want to remain poor. They want to develop. They need to burn things to cook and stay warm.

Libs aren't going to make these people stop wanting to improve their lives. Nothing the US does will make any impact at all.

US focus should be on 1) great air quality, 2) reducing pollution, and 3) energy independence and security.

Cool place to work. Good for you. I live close to your West Coast counterpart, Scripps.


I'm on the IT side - one of the token few without a PhD permitted on campus because he knows how to move data around. 99% of what I do is ensuring that data retrieved from instruments at sea or from one of our research vessels gets into our data center and is accessible to the research community. It's all available free of charge, as are the articles in our archives.

I took a look at your (Woods Hole) website and found this, published on May 8th, this year:

Atmospheric Research Provides Clear Evidence of Human-Caused Climate Change Signal Associated with CO2 Increases

"New research provides clear evidence of a human “fingerprint” on climate change and shows that specific signals from human activities have altered the temperature structure of Earth’s atmosphere."

"it is now virtually impossible for natural causes to explain satellite-measured trends in the thermal structure of the Earth’s atmosphere,”

“The fact that observations show not only a warming troposphere but also a strongly cooling upper stratosphere is unique tell-tale evidence that nails the dominant role of carbon dioxide in climate change and greatly increases confidence.”

I was glad to read this:

“It does not ban the sale or manufacture of ALL incandescent bulbs, just those common household incandescent (and other) bulbs that are not energy-efficient,” the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says of the new ban. “Many bulbs, including specialty bulbs, three-way bulbs, chandelier bulbs, refrigerator bulbs, plant grow lights and others, are exempt from the law's requirements.”

---------------------------------

I much prefer the quality of incandescent light.

My favorite living room floor lamp takes three-way bulbs. I also like using the little 7-watt bulbs in my hallway fixtures. They're getting really hard to find.

Perhaps chandeliers are in my future.

Do we need to change this emoji? :light:

The "warm" light LED bulbs are okay. The "cool" blue light ones are awful.

I really like LED lighting. Low heat output. Long-lived. Selectable color temp. Low energy use. Smaller.
With LED, we got so many more choices now.

Ireland had one of its wettest July's ever. Saw a huge rainbow coming off the Atlantic this AM. No CC concerns over here.

Color temperature. My preference is around 1500-2000K. But I read a Kindle or laptop; no need for a reading light.

LED lights are nice. But throwing a party because the government is “protecting” us from other types of lightbulbs is ridiculous.
Anyone actually sat down and looked at what the difference is to the environment? Negligible.

But go ahead and enjoy your fiesta. haha

Anyone ever measured the environmental impact of a bunch of geezers arguing on forums like Bajanomad?

Imagine the number of ipads, laptops, smartphones plugged into the grid… charging so that the keyboard warriors can duke it out.

Maybe one of the engineers here can quantify how much power is consumed and what the carbon footprint is here.
