the fossil fuel industry needs to be banned from lobbying or giving money to politicians, they need to be treated like a drug cartel

do they expect to die before they feel the negative effects of climate change?

Don did you see the 60 Min piece on climate change? Basically they said that Hansen was right all the way back in the 80s and that Mann was correct also. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/60-minutes-archive-climate-change-2020-10-04/ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/climate-scientists-earth-future-60-minutes-2020-10-04/

it's already close to 25%....I see quite rapid advancements in battery storage that will make the majority of cars electric by 2030, let alone 2035.

who decided that taxpayers should be paying for the fossil fuel industry? the politicians who decided that should be ousted immediately and the fossil fuel industry should be banned from lobbying (add NRA and PhRMA to that)

is this because of cost?

and we can add nuclear- particularly THORIUM BASED REACTORS!- to the mix. It's safer than most people seem to think.

do you really consider nations like Canada and the UK socialist nations? I mentioned it to people and they started laughing and mentioned how dumb the typical American is. I see what they mean, whenever we had a foreign exchange student in one of our classes, they were smarter than 90% of the American students we had.

Recent report came out that perhaps saltwater ponds have been discovered beneath Mars' surface.

Never thought I'd see the same storm drop 30 inches of snow at Allentown and JFK lol- shades of Feb 1983 on steroids.....

it's annoying when the main storm track is either way west of us or way east of us. Thinking the winter will be similar.

Interesting discussion here

Any earth sized planet in the habitable zone that was too cold for our liking. Mars is a bit too small. Earth is on the inside edge of the habitable zone so warming is bad. We should be terraforming by pulling GHG out and stop adding more. The Sun will eventually get too hot for any amount of GHG levels to make Earth habitable and we would have to actually block a lot solar radiation which would be impractical. Then we would have to find another planet. This scenario has been going on in the universe for a very long time. We are speeding up the process. well by transitioning to renewable energy and also finding ways to remove CO2 from the atmosphere we are doing just that, hopefully we quicken the pace, we need to halve fossil fuel consumption by 2030. We have three Class V worlds in our solar system- Mars, Europa and Enceladus. Tidal forces make the latter two worlds hotter than they would seem by their distance.

Mars lol? You'd want to add CO2 to its atmosphere of course. NASA has a machine on its latest mission to Mars that actually converts CO2 to O2.

This happens a lot unfortunately. I was just reading about how hypocrites Amazon and Bezos are, they put out a clean energy image and yet in the background they cater to the oil and gas industry and threaten their employees who want them to switch to clean energy. They have even been caught monitoring their employees who have been unionizing according to identity or issues. Bezos is like Trump in many ways. Meanwhile, California has set 2035 as the year to stop manufacturing fossil fuel powered vehicles.

His is another one of this giant tech companies that needs to be carved up into little pieces.

It's not allowed as of now because of safety concerns, but they are seeking permits. https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2020/09/25/new-york-is-embracing-outdoor-heat-lamps-right-as-france-is-rejecting-them/

I'm well familiar with Eisenhower and his great exit speech and it still applies today (Teddy Roosevelt was another very forward thinking conservationist and antitrust conservative, we dont have them these days, sadly, probably because of all the dark money and corporate lobbying in politics.) Also please check the post, it says I made that response to you, but in actuality it was Skiier.

Chris, I remember there was a streak in 1990 and 1991 where 22 out of 24 months were above normal. That was just an appetizer for our current climate.....

Denver has my ideal climate, lots of temperature variations with some months where it can hit 100 and have snow!

Yes and the ones most impacted are those who are the most vulnerable.

Yes America is actually redistributing wealth- from the lower and middle classes to the rich.

The PBS series Hacking Your Mind shows how even experienced professionals can succumb to tribal us vs them thinking where no matter how questionable the source, if it agrees with them they hold it in esteem and no matter how much evidence there is for an opposing viewpoint, it only makes them even more stubborn. Cant wait for the series finale next week where they show how to combat this built-in vulnerability by hacking our own minds to prevent manipulation from the outside.

The "comrades" have a really good reason to want to preserve the status quo, if climate continues to warm like this, Siberia becomes the new bread basket of the planet.
