oil companies


Believe it or not, there are quite a few big players in the industry who are voluntarily cutting back emissions and doing their best to conserve finite resources in order to assist governments in preserving the environment. They are trying to also do it economically, but are willing players.

What have the greenpeace hippies actually done other than call for the confiscation of income?

I stayed awake through most of my 6th grade science periods, which, apparently, puts me in the top 30% here.


Thanks for the resume. Let's me know I don't need to waste my time.

You'd make a great climate scientist. Very nice usage of under resolved, uncertain, and unreliable data in order to make a definitive statement.

Sea Level rise is out of control....A disaster in the making... Or maybe not.

Wrong.

China is #1 in total output, US is #2, the entire EU is #3 and India is #4. Per Capita the US is 109% higher than China and 747% higher than India. The US is 7th in per capita CO2 emissions. Every country in the top 10 has an economy based on oil/fossil fuel production: Oman, Kuwait, UAE, Australia, Turkmenistan, Oman, USA, Saudi Arabi, Canada, and Kazakhstan.

China is definitely a problem but they are actually taking steps to improve their situation unlike the US. EVEN IF every piece of science not paid for by oil companies is wrong, why should we still be hitching our horse to antiquated forms of energy like oil and coal vs "clean" energy sources like wind and solar? Are you willing to bet your life and home on being right when the trade off has way more positives than negatives?

So you think that the global greening due to rising CO2 levels that’s been documented is nonsense?

We will see more bullshite like this.

Global Warming will be a key boogieman/policy platform of the Democratic Party in 2020.

No.

That goes hand in hand with an ice age being worse than global warming.

LINK

An in depth discussion of the why the Antarctic melting scenario presented in 2016 is probably overdone in the short term.

Carbon brief is a good source for depth in discussions concerning climate change, modeling, and things like "is climate change causing more deep cold events from disrupting the polar vortex" (answer: it's complicated and competing feedbacks mean it's questionable).

You should have difficulty believing this because not all of the climate scientist believe this.

The authors found that disease and war wiped out 90 percent of the indigenous population in the Americas, or about 55 million people. The earth, they argue, then reclaimed the land that these populations left behind. The new vegetation pulled heat-trapping carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and into the land, contributing to what scientists refer to as the “Little Ice Age.”


Yeah stopped reading after that first anti-Columbus paragraph, by a non-American, by heritage, hater

Would be devastating.

With today's technology, we wouldn't be able to grow enough food.
