Climate Change

Is the exploitation worth 5 trillion dollars in year revenue? When I see that number I can see why so many are clutching their pearls and finding chuck articles like this to convince the masses. That's a lot of dinero. An industry like that will literally do anything even slowly destroy the planet for that far amount of cash.

 

It says something that @AroundTheWorld is posting so many tweets devoid of his own commentary that he could be confused with @Commodore

 

Yes the oil industry has long known for quite awhile that the burning of fossil fuels would likely lead to climate change. They suppressed such info like the tobacco industry suppressed info about smoking causing lung cancer

He is a professor for geological sciences.

You know, a scientist.

"Follow the science"

 

Like I know you know what the automatic response for that is. Why would you post such a stupid argument?

 

the mongol invasion was likely caused by climate change.

 

The biggest obstacle to climate change is PERMITTING REFORM! It shouldn't take 5 years to build a damn wind farm!

 

Oil and gas industry generate 5 trill in revenue per year. You bet your ass that those who own that 5 trillion will rape and murder to keep that

 

...progressives blocked permitting reform last session in congress... lefties and progressives are not serious about GOVERNORING. It's always purity bs

Alot of NIMBYS are deranged lefties. Lots of Lefties think we don't need to build anything and we need to stop all consumption. Mental Ill folks

Maybe better to follow the thousands of scientists who spend their careers studying climate.

 

It's unprecedented in human history. Sure you can say it was 10 times higher in the age of the dinosaurs. Well, the planet was a lot different back then too.

The issue isn't the level of CO2 or that its even changing....it's the rate of change that's the issue. Human civilization has been built on climates that are relatively stable. The oceans are very sensitive to changes in temp and co2 concentrations. Sudden changes are too fast for animals to adopt (evolve) and you end up with mass extinctions - and we are currently in a mass extinction event.

Climate change is an economic threat. Environmentalism overall is good for business contrary to the oil company talking points people drink up.

 

cheap energy from fossil fuels is the best way to adapt to climate change

 

So you are saying the solution to a problem is to double down on its cause. Makes total sense

 

Do you have an opinion about the opinion you've posted here?

 

the solution does more good than harm

 

You can't possibly make that claim. And you don't even know what the solution is.

 

Does God charge a retail tax to use the sun?

 

If he is it’s an odd comment for him to say that CO2 doesn’t have a big affect on global climate. That’s a proven fact that CO2 traps heat and affect global temperatures. Again just look at Venus.

 

Being part Mongol I will agree there is some evidence for this and the Hun invasions might be had something to do with changes in rainfall.

That said in some historical climate changes there is evidence of things like large volcano eruptions. As stated earlier we don’t have an event like that that would cause the type of changing we’re seeing now. For example the 536 many historians consider the Worst year in human history with famines, plagues and invasions of civilizations around the globe. Thst was likely due to a giant eruption in Iceland that reduced global temps. We’re not seeing a reduction of global temps but a rise of global temps. The only agent that appears to have changed that could cause that is human activity.
