I know that you can not see it, but it is happening regardless. The 'Climate Crisis' induced by CO2 is based an appeal to authority, plain and simple. Trust the experts, right?
We all have motives to some degree. I do not believe in unbiased humans. I have a motive, it is that I care about the fate of humanity. I have a survival instinct. I make no money from Oil. I could likely make money selling climate change fear though.
Because the side that wants me to believe it also benefits from it, and they want most of us dead.
Yes knowledge by authority. I don't have to trust the narrative, and I don't.
Apparently they have to disincentivize the sale of gas units.
Yes, those things are bad, we don't have to accept those things. The Deepwater Horizon was a story of Corporate greed and incompetence, had they been following standard protocol they would have had no issue. These sorts of issues are aslo possible in other extraction efforts, but I would argue that the US is better equipped to do these things aafely than some poor country that is working to keep their Chinese creditors happy.
I'm not ignoring anything, only doubting that anthropogenic CO2 is a threat
Sounds like quite the utopia.
You do understand that even if CO2 were a threat ICE vehicles don't contribute enough to worry about right?
Yes but the magnitude of tyranny can be increased greatly when there is a good boogie man, plus since one can't find the boogie man anybody who doubts will be a 'denier.'
Calling CO2 plant food is simply irrelevant to the problem global warming due to massive amounts of greenhouse gases we pump into the atmosphere, as no one is arguing to remove CO2 from the atmosphere to pre-industrial levels. So what is the purpose of describing CO2 as plant food, if not an attempt to obfuscate the issue at hand? It is like arguing that water is necessary for plant growth whenever a toddler drowns.
Sadly people are not always responsible, even with all the regulation, the US, with about 100 deaths a day, is rated as the sixth highest motor-vehicle deaths per 100 million vehicle miles compared to other countries, according to the US national safety council web site. What do you think would happen if you abolish government regulations? Personally, I would like you to try to end government regulation, it would be interesting to see how an advanced society like the US improved or declined when all regulations were ended. (Just don't ask me to participate as I have seen first hand how people elsewhere in the world act when there is little to no government regulations)
CO2 has been proven to be necessary for photosynthesis.
Nope. Look into the data and come to your own conclusions. The science says the climate crisis is real. Your statement about
Can government's or parties be embarrassed regardless of the research results or truth? The research into climate change shows it's an urgent crisis and that governments are doing so little seems like it ought to be embarrassing?
Those are technically what's called a fool's choice. E.g., To fight climate change I must eat bugs. It's just a propaganda technique to sway people to an argument. It's already been shown in prior posts that's people don't have to eat bugs to reduce climate change. In fact, none of the current plans put forth by any government I know of have their population eating bugs as a solution.
Agree 100%. But if your only reason is because "it's a government conspiracy" and "I haven't confirmed the science for myself", then you have no solid proof that it is a hoax either.
And yet there are numerous compelling scientific theories that closely match observed data and all other reasonable explanations don't account for the changes. We know it's caused by man from several techniques, but the one people most point to is the carbon isotopes in the air. See
Every little bit of reduction helps. One gallon of gasoline produces 20 pounds of CO2. It's estimated we burn 376 million gallons per day. The half-life of CO2 is over a century, what you burn today builds up and stays around for a long time. Transportation accounts for 28% of the GHGs as shown to the right. Passenger cars account for 41% of that 28%. |  |  (images are links to sources) |
Interesting choice of catastrophe as opposed to climate change or global warming. It's an interesting tactic to try and break the linkage between them. But what is that linkage?
Probably wouldn't end well. We don't have to have NO government to have less government. Of course each responsible individual should be self governing, we must have a civilization to maintain humanity
My observation was about the use of the term plant food, we are not discussing plant food, we are discussing man made global warming and what we can do about it, not gardening...
Corruption is a separate issue, I can't stand it myself either, regardless of the political ideology the pundits might espouse.
Are they embarrassed about the behavior that I have mentioned previously? The parts that aren't addressed here?
Har dee har har! Fools choice! That thar is mee.
I laid out many reasons beyond the recognition of conspiracy.
No tactic. It is also interesting that you didn't include the other failed narratives such as cool down, sea level rise, I guess because the version that we have settled on is the asinine "Climate Change." Climate changes, nobody denies that.And yet there are numerous compelling scientific theories that closely match observed data and all other reasonable explanations don't account for the changes.

If there are more things in the path of a storm and those things cost more every year to acquire and produce, would it not be reasonable to assume that much of the rising cost here can be attributed to that fact?CO2 (and other GHGs) have been linked to global warming. Global warming causes climate change. Climate change historically has caused crisis.
That you choose to ignore the science around global warming doesn't make your statement correct. But, there is a much higher degree of uncertainty in the IPCC reports as to the levels of the catastrophes that might occur based on climate change.
Fortunately, we don't have to rely on future predictions when the government watchdogs keep track of how much is spent of various activities. For example, the increase costs from weather events bares a startling similarity to the increase in Global warming. I'd say the $600 billion and devastation from last year counted as catastrophe:
The climate changing does indeed cost us all quite a bit.
Agreed.
ONLY If it makes actual sense beyond financial shell games. If it is economically viable then why wouldn't the power companies already have more renewable energy sources on line, without being incentivized?
A video of the disaster;
Anyone who has ever owned a boat, particular a large boat which gets left in the water, knows what a harsh environment the sea can be. Some kind of failure was inevitable. If it hadn’t been a storm, there are plenty of other things which could have gone wrong.
No, he has no shame. He is however more honest than most. 50% truth is better than 10% any day. Although some people like to go along with the tyranny put fourth by the Trump, but would oppose the Biden for attempting the same tyrannies. Hmm.
Their plight is not due to humans releasing CO2.
If there is no economy then there can be no way to implement these green energy plans, or any other for that matter.
Changing to and from daylight saving time causes increases in heart attacks and strokes every year. It seems logical that there are also a million other things going on that cause disease, especially considering that many diseases that were once rare are now much more common.
Yes indeed, energy needs, needs that can only be be met with abundant and readily available stores of energy.
You have to admire the beauty of such a magnificent change of the seasons, or is it ages?
It takes too long to debate how companies are run, the short version is that their only purpose is to make as much money for the shareholders as possible. While a successful economy is the basis for a functioning democracy there is a case to be made to restrict businesses from doing things that harm people.
Ummmm it was the EPA who released this wave of water into the Animas. The mine was abandoned in the 1920s .. all those guys are dead and gone.... cant squeeze blood from a dead turnip.
See above.
