  1. that source is not credible and should not be trusted on this topic again, it's 10 to 1 we need to be clear about this: at humanity's present fossil fuel burn rate, sea level is going to rise substantially, the science is clear and the scientific community is in agreement. Miami is definitely going under water. We can argue about whether it happens in 2075 or 2125, but those arguments are just semantics; ultimately, the cost is the same, and that cost should be accurately reflected in the price of a watt of fossil fuel energy
  2. there are about $10 in fossil fuel subsidies spent for every dollar of renewable subsidies when all financial factors including tax breaks are included in the evaluation
  3. it's also worth noting that all the explicit and implicit benefits of the current consumption of energy from fossil fuels are exactly the same as those from the consumption of energy from renewables. Ignoring that both sources of energy on a watt for watt basis provide the same current value to society is illogical. No one is questioning that fossil fuels helped accelerate human social evolution. what is being questioned is what is the comparative future costs and benefits of various energy sources moving forward from the current point in time; historic energy sources are irrelevant to this discussion
  4. Facilities reach the end of their operable reliable lives, and then need to be updated at substantial cost to have additional service live. This is all straight forward. Some on here dont understand economics.
  5. took mine out of the shed and greased/changed the oil. in the garage now, since there's a chance
  6. I would expect a well respected met to update their forecast base on the latest data
  7. forecasts are opinions if everyone's opinion was the same, this forum wouldn't be worth reading
  8. current energy policy is bad for consumers, but good for fossil fuel folks
  9. everyone should switch to Bluesky
  10. I’ll buy an EV when they start offering the kind of EV I want to buy, right now the EVs marketed here in the US are either heavy, bulky high end luxury cars and trucks and SUVs, or ultra small economy compact cars. Where is the 4 door sedan (like a Camry) with the 250 mile range?
  11. lol at using YouTube as a source for insightful scientific commentary the “soul” of science is the scientific method, saying “science has lost its soul” is pure emotion and has nothing to do with science
  12. still warm enough for brunch on the patio ...
  13. Crossing from Port Jeff to Bridgeport, the sound is angry today, big waves and some rather unsettling creaking and banging from the boat.
  14. imagine unironically posting anything from that windbag grifter Rogan lol !
  15. Just pointing out the hypocrisy, carry on Sprinkling here in Bridgeport, about to ferry over to LI
  16. i'm not clicking any links posted in this forum, that's for sure
  17. elect a convicted felon, get a criminal administration. everyone stay safe
  18. my perspective is somewhat different, it seems to me that "what went wrong in America" is too many Americans have rejected science and stopped believing scientists in the last 30 years, which is odd, since the scientists today know so much more than what was known 30 years ago
  19. we are polluting the atmosphere we all rely on for life, I imagine that makes all of us somewhat uncomfortable, to some degree
  20. weather forum that's why we shouldn't call this a science forum, people "choose to believe" without the desire or intent to hold those beliefs up to the intense and focused light of the scientific method
