The Earth's climate ...I'm with you on this. The Earth's climate has been changing throughout history (see Medieval warming period and little ice age) and there is much we don't know and understand about what drives those changes. But to unilaterally declare that this current cycle of change is man-caused is bullshit. I haven't forgotten how the climate scientists tried to fudge their numbers to coincide with their predictive models.<br /><br />That said, dumping carbon pollution into the atmosphere isn't a good thing and we should be working to alleviate that. If you want to go electric though, you are going to need a reliable source of energy, and that ain't solar or wind power. If only we could find a way to generate electricity with nuclear plants...oh wait, we can, but none of the climate activists call for that comparatively clean method.<br /><br />Another thing that makes this climate talk a farce is that countries like the USA could totally eliminate carbon emissions and it wouldn't make a bit of difference with the China's and India's of the world increasing theirs.<br /><br />I also agree that there are things that can be done right now to make the environment less polluted. Yeah, I remember thinking the litter in Korea was bad, but damn, here in the PI it is a way of life. So, I propose that we put all the good folks on welfare to work picking up trash and cleaning the rivers. They get the pride of having an actual job that contributes to the betterment of society instead of living on the government dole.<br /><br />It would be good to have a discussion around these issues, but the climate folks don't seriously care about finding a fix. The "green new deal" is a perfect example--that's not about the environment, it is a backdoor way to bring about a new socialist world order. You can see by the hypocritical actions of the DiCrapio's and Gore's that this is a made-up crisis.<br /><br />When I was a kid the talk was all about the coming ice age. So, maybe this man-caused warming has prevented that. SUV drivers are actually heroes!John Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02614775172062071697noreply@blogger.com
