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.

I'll get the engineers at my workplace right on it! I'm sure the greenhouse gases produced on this forum are contributing to something beyond ones and zeroes.

My hot-air output is partially offset by my use of a fan instead of an air conditioning unit!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

Anyone actually sat down and looked at what the difference is to the environment? Negligible.
But go ahead and enjoy your fiesta. haha |
I agree. Im really bummed that finding paint or cosmetic products containing lead is so darn tough! Don't get me started on those fine asbestos
products no longer available.Freedumb!

Personnel anecdote:
The lifelong beaches I went to in San Clemente have disappeared.
Last night big hunks of Newport Beach were under water from the high tide, never ever seen that too.

No one denied Covid. They denied that kids and healthy ppl under 50 should be compelled to take a vaccine or be locked in their houses.
Covid is a very bad example for you to point to. The government could not have lied more.

No one denied Covid? Once again you ignore and deny reality. Right wingers were yelling all over the place that Covid was a hoax. Medical personnel
were dealing with patients who were trying to insist that they be treated for something else, even as they were taking their last dying breaths,
because they were firmly convinced that Covid was a hoax.
And being the selfish person that you are, you can't acknowledge that vaccines, and masking and lockdowns were designed to stop the spread of a deadly
virus for everyone. People who care about others didn't want to be responsible for spreading it to others, regardless of whether they considered
themselves to be vulnerable.
And plenty of "healthy people" got Covid and died, and spread it to others who died. Your constant litany of "everyone who wasn't vulnerable should
have been free to do as they pleased" flies in the face of infectious disease control and is simply a lame excuse for not caring about anyone other
than yourself and your freedumbs.

No one was locked in the basement. That's another lie designed to demean those who give a chit about anyone other than themselves.

No one in Ireland has concerns about climate change? Yeah, right. What an idiotic tourist comment.

and on and on. Just because you are willfully ignorant on the issue does not make it go away - it makes you - well willfully ignorant!
Education is a powerful tool - facts - well they are facts - and education is based on using facts in critical thinking - you would have learned
that in law school - but since you flunked the BAR exam - maybe that's why.
Facts and statistics and math would have helped you in pursuit of a degree in engineering too! - but that math was just too hard - right!

Guess what’s disturbing the Climate Change folks this week. The climate is changing, but not changing how they want or predict. Their shorts are in
a knot again,
https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg25934500-100-somethin...
“Unexpectedly, the eastern Pacific Ocean is cooling. If this “cold tongue” continues, it could reduce greenhouse gas warming by 30 per cent –
but also bring megadrought to the US
FOR years, climate models have predicted that as greenhouse gas emissions rise, ocean waters will warm. For the most part, they have been correct. Yet
in a patch of the Pacific Ocean, the opposite is happening. Stretching west from the coast of Ecuador for thousands of kilometres lies a tentacle of
water that has been cooling for the past 30 years. Why is this swathe of the eastern Pacific defying our predictions? Welcome to the mystery of the
cold tongue.”
Perhaps the problem is that yet another model is wrong in its predictions.

PB,
In other news:
“The president of Stanford University, Marc Tessier-Lavigne, has announced he will resign after concerns about the integrity of his research.
Tessier-Lavigne announced his plans to step down on 31 August in a letter to students and staff on Wednesday.Jul 19, 2023”
This is for misdeeds dating back decades that has delayed important research by pointing it in the wrong direction. He was finally brought down by
free discussion of his published work on the internet.

If we all go back to the beginning and the first survey of temperatures around the world we will remember that even the guy who brought out the first
data to support global warming had to retract his research because the data was flawed and false BUT -
NO ONE REMEMBERS THIS LITTLE FACT.

Where are the Climate Doomers Today?
It’s amazing how fast they (the doomers) disappear when the science doesn’t match their narrative. It’s worth noting that a 30% reduction is
about what would occur if the US stopped burning hydrocarbons.

Cliffy,
Don’t know what your talking about. Science is there, climate is changing, GHG from man is major source of climate change. Focusing on one cold
snap to discredit the science just makes you look foolish.
Woke!

will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.”

Goat,
A possible 30% reduction from nature is a big thing. It’s the climate guys who are making big about it, not me.
Now you’re the one denying scientific proof of climate change!

100% coral die-off.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2023/07/25/florid...
And asserting that climate change activists think the govt. can change mother nature is idiotic. Nor, of course, is the govt. trying to do that.
What those who care are trying to change is the behavior of humans that negatively affect the climate.
Even a 6 year old can understand that.
