Yes, clearly we’re talking about that climate change.

Well, your subject is false then. It’s clearly occurring and you have to be stupid to deny it. I also think you have to be stupid to believe in the Al Gote “The Day After Tomorrow” bullshite. My father has always had a quote in that nothing is as good or as bad as you think it is, which is certainly mostly true in this country. I’m concerned about climate change, but I think AI is just ignored to a ridiculous degree. Just think about how society interacts now compared to 20 years ago. It’s a no brainer on what to be more concerned about.

every time AOC speaks of climate change I burn a tire

I just wish I could watch a nature show without it turning into a climate change infomercial.

100% right. Totally made up. The first "research" had "79 anonymous scientists" and 97% of them agreed... It was all about Global cooling in the 70s then they changed it to Golbal Warming... THEN>... the US Geological Society, not in on the ruse, released their own study showing earth's average temp had gone down, so they quickly rebranded it to "Climate Change"... That's spring summer winter and fall... And if you want to learn some wild crap... Google "Climate Modification Patents" by Bill Gates and Warren Buffet and many others... Then look at what DARPA is doing with weather modification... Then if you don't believe what's going on... go back to sleep

We caused some warming by depleting the ozone layer. Then we fixed it and all is well.

...and that is another bull shite environmental story too. The first time we had instruments capable of looking at the ozone layer - we found there was thinning at the poles. Most likely thinning at the poles is the natural state for ozone in the atmosphere of a rotating body, but never let a crisis go to waste - even if you have to make one. DuPont was just about to have their patent expire on the chlorofluorocarbon known as Freon and paid to have a study done to show it was chlorofluorocarbons that caused the thinning so it could be banned and the world would be forced to use DuPont's new refrigerant - the new one with many years left on it's patent. One of the problems is that chlorofluorocarbons come in many different flavors - many were used as solvents in industry, cleaning agents (laundry dry cleaning, manufacturing, electronics), and were used as a safe, non-flammable propellant in aerosol cans. These were banned too. The thing is that the chlorofluorocarbons had such wide application and had been used for so many years, and in such huge quantities - there would have been no ozone in the upper atmosphere if the theory used to ban them were actually true. The truth is that the chlorofluorocarbons stay much lower in the atmosphere and decompose in the sun light.

Well they were wrong and dumb. Ask anyone that lives in the mountains if the weather is not different from their childhoods. It’s observable

I used to live in South Dakota. Every Spring, I would find rocks in my yard when I mowed. They were dropped in that part of South Dakota by a glacier that melted somewhere around 10,000 years ago. If I would have dug down 20 feet or so, I would have found limestone with fossils of semi-tropical plants. If you look at historical temperatures for the last million or so years - you will see that the earth is still warming from the little ice age that caused the glacier that left the rocks in my yard.

Everyone always overestimates the power and speed of technology adaption especially futurists and techies. We still aren’t even close to adoption of the self driving car. I agree AI will do some crazy things to society though and is much more important than climate change long term.
