If you came here seeking explanations about climate change, you are not truly concerned with finding out the answers. So I will explain it this way...listen to people with training and intelligence. Unfortunately, you need to be closer to this guy;

But you are too much like this guy;

Because you listen to this guy;

Or do they import?

And way do you feel the need to insult? I have said nothing rude. Why do you resort to that?



Do you know where Siemens wind turbines are manufactured? Or GE or Vastas?

No you don't. you read crap and regurgitate the same. Siemens and GE do not manufacture on shore. They manufacture in Europe. To meet specific industry demands final assembly on non essential internal components are conducted on US soil. That is not Manufacturing. All of the solar panel manufacturing is the same. The panels made in China and final assembly in the US. That is not US Manufacturing.

Vestas has blade and tower plants in Colorado ....guess where the turbines are manufactured?

Again .... to skirt on shore industry requirements, a specific percentage of assembly must happen in the US.

You made numerous other mistakes in your claims as well.

Where did this so called evidence of CO2 caused global warming originate in a ancient world without industrial CO2 omissions? How did a gradual increase in CO2 Omissions get measured? They didn't occur. The climb was instant and most likely did not involve CO2 at all. The God Father of Climate Change also changed his theory ...too bad you missed the notice. The theory was changed from CO2 to Methane gas, and it had nothing to do with cow farts. The sudden release of tons of CO2 and Methane gas .... repeat "tons of each" has plagued the earth since the beginning of time. All natural occurrences and unstoppable just like the fraud of this recant bout of Climate Change. ....But you applaud the systematic destruction of the economy and millions of lives ....based on a theory .....I suggest curling up with a book from L Ron Hubbard ....you'll get as much from that read as well.

weather and climate are the exact same thing.

It's like Penny from Big Bang Theory explaining to Amy Farrah Fowler the difference with Star Wars and Star Trek.


There's no difference !!

That rational can apply to many things. When is the next war? Don't know? Then no military.
Do you have a 401K? You don't know you will make it that long.
Just look at the numbers. That's all I ask. If you still disagree, then fine, we came to different conclusions.

At one point. Assholes in the scientific community believed that the sun revolving around the earth was settled science.

That the earth being flat was settled science.

As a species. We've not even explored more than 5% of the bottom of the oceans. Which means most of the earth is still unexplored, yet assholes have the audacity to scream that they know everything about the earth, and what it needs, and that everything they say is settled science.

I get the feeling in a few hundred years, our descendants will be loling at how retarded our era was.

Unlike you, I was trying to have an actual discussion.

"Or do they import" was a legitimate question. So calm down. But also see my last paragraph because you went on a tangent from what I actually wrote.

I have never said oil was bad. Never. I said we do have climate change. I have mention several websites for scientific study. You have not presented any to the contrary. if you do have them, please let me know. I am open to learning.

I never made the claim manmade CO2 cause the extinction events. I know what many scientists believed that caused them.

You also misunderstood when I mentioned green energy here in the states. I was referring to the sun shines here in the states. The wind blows here in the states. There are tidal forces on our shores. You mentioned manufacturing. Obviously I don't know much about manufacturing these parts but I never said I did. I just followed you down the rabbit hole. My mistake.

Please show me where my claims are incorrect. You are adding your own rage to my statements.

And I did read Battlefield Earth. The first half was decent, but the last half was horrible. None of his other books interest me as a sci-fi fan.

I mean you do have to realize that the vast majority of those scientists who "study" global warming are getting grants from the government for their work. Kind of wouldnt be in there best interest to say "Hey, nothing going on here"

Also, I dont think the argument "Hey, something may happen so we need to do something about it" really holds much weight. What does "doing something" entail? What is the end result we are trying to achieve here? All I really hear the gov saying is "Give us a bunch of money and we will fix the problem".

We arent going to ever get rid of carbon. It's the most plentiful element on earth. We literally breathe it out

We arent gonna get rid of power plants. We already have rolling blackouts and brownouts now. How are you ever gonna get enough electricity to power all these new electric vehicles. Do you want to cover half of the US in solar panels to provide the necessary power?

What about all the mining that has to go into the rare earth materials for the batteries of all these electric vehicles.

Then there's all the plastic that has to go into wind turbines and solar panels. Any idea what they use to make that? Plus, what about the disposal of them once their lifespan is over? I've been told for years about how plastic just sits for decades in landfills without breaking down.....

Oh, and dont forget about the MASSIVE amount of water necessary to wash all of these new solar panels to keep them actually working.

I'm truly curious how anyone can justify that this supposedly "clean" energy is actually any better than what we have now. To the untrained eye, it actually looks like it pollutes more....

How about this, accurately predict the landfall location of the next hurricane, within 25 miles, one week out. That shouldn't be that hard with all of our scientific models and all........

I hope yall realize that when you say "settled science" it is a complete bastardization of the entire idea of science. Science, by definition is never settled. We are always learning new things changing thoughts. There have been a number of posts in this thread just showing how different modern scientific thought is compared to what was "settled" only a few centuries ago.

You have to be quite audacious to say that in this specific period of time about this one specific issue we literally know every single thing, and it's never ever going to change. I may be a simpleton, but that sounds like the complete antithesis of science.....

It is for that reason alone that are scientists, are nothing better than prostitutes. My favorite interview was immediately after a scientist had published an earth shattering report the same day that the NOAA had admitted to massaging the data, that a young inspired new Journalist took it upon herself to question findings of the scientist. His reply when questioned about the validity of this findings? "Don't blame me I didn't collect the data."

The scientists that specialize in specific fields dispute the findings of scientist who suddenly overnight became "Climate Experts" Polar Bear populations are on the increase and not decreasing as claimed. Glaciers have been growing after several years of decline. A new Penguin population numbering well over one million discovered. Earth scientists discovered their calculations on the number of trees on the planet was off by more than a billion. The ocean is not rising and the coral reefs in Australia are growing and expanding.

I take the study and data of an Oceanographer with decades of experience and measuring sites worldwide over the few hours of a prostitute pounding the keys of a keyboard for two hours ....claiming to be an expert.

But because five hand picked peer review scientists control every paper published by the Paris Accord are the only "EXPERTS" each declining any submittal of counters to the claims by non Climate Scientists .....there is nothing but the trash poured down the throats of followers.

In fact our illustrious defender of the lie ....cannot describe in detail how the myth of 97% occurred ....

Do you know what a King Tide is? The mayor of Miami spent millions on pumps to erase the affects of King Tides that have plagued Miami for hundreds of years. Al Gores mythical "Fish swimming in the streets." King Tide simply put means that the moon and sun are the same side of the planet at the same time along with a high tide condition that causes regional flooding ....it is natural and there isn't a thing that can done in the myth of climate control to prevent it.

You don't have data to support your rhetoric ....you publish fiction, nothing more. Pretending to be a amateur expert. Some of us read and look into the myth ...others watch Discovery channel and CNN. Have to be entertained somehow I guess.

Full transparency, I do not care about global warming. Never did never will and I am not willing to pay more for stuff because of it. In my mind we have a population problem in this world which will only get worse and is the real source of climate problems. I do expect we will all be driving non gas powered cars within ten years so that should help.

I agree people who get money for these studies have an agenda for their studies. But when they present enough evidence to convince other well regarded scientists who do not have a dog in the fight, it makes me pay more attention that this could be a real situation.

My take is "yes, there is climate change". With the data we have, it supports climate change is happening. That data is for a relative short period of time, but you must work with what we have.

I agree the use of fossil fuels will never go away. I have written this several times. I have not written we must punish oil producers. I did write we need more sources of energy with should include green energy. While you may think it is not as green as people think, it is a natural resource we have here in that states, in plentiful and cheap supply. It's a source of energy that is not at the control of foreign suppliers (control being OPEC+ pretty much sets the price of oil on the international stage).

Bluedragon - I would still like for you to show where I was wrong with what I wrote. You disrespected me for statements I did not make. If you have data contrary to what I have, I would like to see it. I am always willing to learn more.

fischd1 - I have a very similar opinion as you (outside of not caring about global warming).

Having worked in the industry for years and having seen and observed the lies and deceit driven by the Federal Government at the hands of unelected officials in the EPA ....People who are naïve about actually takes place drive me to the edge. For that I will apologize...

The science is a fraud. You cannot simply rely on one sole source of data that is not collecting useful dat. The NOAA deals in ground temperatures only and every one of their reporting stations have been enveloped by cities ove time. The NOAA did not take it upon themselves to move the stations to get accurate data. The assume percentages and manipulate what they gather is a feeble attempt to provide an accurate reading.

Atmosphere data collection cannot be controlled. Jet streams and wind current scatter the build up of CO2 and Methane readings are taken from one point and one point only ....the data is nowhere near consistent.

The Mann Hockey stick was a fraud. His moment in glory ended with him being ostracized by his actions and the University he was working for. His financial support vanished when someone got their hands of the program he created and revealed that hockey and baseball scores produced the same result over and over. Go and read the reports found in the site WUWT "What's Up With That?" Is the best collection of system wide reporting against the false science used in this quest of the UN to redistribute money. Follow individual news reports about actual discoveries and reporting on evidence gathered over years of time, instead of the fiction written by fraud scientists.

As I stated ....I have been on site on 30 wind farms across this country and Canada. I have been on 10 solar farms supposedly providing Mega Watts of power and have worked with Obama's wet dream "First Solar"

Get rid of the notion that the Climate huggers know what will work and what does not .....The only reliable source that is safer than it's original introduction is Nuclear. Wind and Solar doesn't produce in Peak load time periods and unrealizable.

Until you realize how a wind farm produces electricity ...the thought is such that the wind blows and propeller turns......That's not how tons of material is put into motion. Keep this in mind ......A wind farm consumes massive amounts of electricity before one propeller turns. Without a power plant at the end of that transmission line nothing happens. When you don't understand Electric Power and the grid ....anyone with typewriter and pen can convince you of anything they wish. Twenty five years doing this .....

Real question - Do you feel there is no need for additional energy resources outside of fossil fuels? Are they just window dressing in your opinion?

I understand wind power peak times (early morning, right?) do not match high energy demand hours. But other than solar being inefficient and reliant on clear skies, shouldn't it match peak power hours? Or did I just write the main drawback to solar?

Honestly, I never thought about it takes energy to get the turbines moving, but it makes sense now that you mention it. Does that negate all power produced?

I just ask that you be respectful and offer knowledge other than just spewing insults and saying I am wrong just because you say so. If anything, that reaction makes things worse. While I have no interest in politics (seems contrary to me being on the politics board but I was looking to see if anyone had comments on that crazy Boebart here in CO), energy is a field I have some interest in. Don't get upset when my sources do not match your sources. For someone not in the industry, how does one know what is the right source or not? I don't think I came in portraying myself as an expert by any means. I have more knowledge than the average polar bear, but I don't have solutions. I happen to believe there is climate change and that climate change is probably due to CO2. I think the Earth is f'ed due to many other reasons as well, but this is one we can try to address.

Thank you for a source, but is it "Watts Up With That"?

I absolutely believe in global warming. I learned about it in grade school when we studied the Ice Ages and geology. It has been naturally warming ever since the last ice age with minor dips in between. The same thing happened after the previous Ice Age until it turned the other way and resulted in the most recent one. There is no way, however, that man can make any major contribution to the sway the future climate.

WIKI:
There have been five or six major ice ages in the history of Earth over the past 3 billion years. The Late Cenozoic Ice Age began 34 million years ago, its latest phase being the Quaternary glaciation, in progress since 2.58 million years ago.

Within ice ages, there exist periods of more severe glacial conditions and more temperate conditions, referred to as glacial periods and interglacial periods, respectively. The Earth is currently in such an interglacial period of the Quaternary glaciation, with the last glacial period of the Quaternary having ended approximately 11,700 years ago. The current interglacial is known as the Holocene epoch.

Bluedragon, you sound like quite the expert in clean energy. Explain to a layman like me how an wind farm actually does generate electricity. I an engineer by trade, so I'm legit interested on the mechanics of it.

I disagree with that strong of a statement but I would seem petty and over the top with examples. Deforestation, nuclear war, man-made disasters, etc. Maybe I am taking my examples to the extreme but your statement was really strong and in bold ...

Legit question - Do you have sources you trust that state where we are in the ice age cycle? I get answers all over the place from we are still exiting one to we are entering one.

I am with you but averages are more predictable than any one day.

No, no they’re not. Especially when the variance that’s considered “major” is 3-4 degrees.

If we can’t accurate predict a single day, it’s impossible to say with any certainty whether the average will go up, unless you’re just throwing random theories around that claim to be able to predict factors that will affect the trend. There are no accurate models of the averages in the next 30 years, just bullshite theories designed to grab more money from us

I am not following your thinking here or maybe you are not understanding mine. I thought we were talking about the future climates, not past. The human population 12,000 ago is estimated to be approx 4M people. I totally agree their camp fires had no effect.

I thought we were talking about future climate. And 7.8B people can have more an impact, no?
