Climate Change Mega Thread

Can't remember where this is from, but 485-million year history of global mean surface temp is an interesting read:

It has been discussed here, and those who are fixated on CO2 try to dismiss it, but it will be years before the effects of the millions of tons of water vapor from the Tonga eruption completely subside. The slightly warmer weather has been nice, but the flood events around the world – not so much.

Billy Bob Thornton explains to a man-made climate change lunatic just how much mankind depends on oil, and how insane it is to think that we can "just stop" using oil and switch to electricity. It will take 100 years minimum to rebuild the infrastructure needed. And we're going to run out of oil before that happens, so the world is indeed screwed, but it's not because of some magical sky genie making the weather badder.

The only part of this that he may have missed on is that we will one day run out of oil. Science is now showing that this isn't true. That was a narrative ran by the oil companies to make their product seem finite and therefore more valuable.

Here is a video interview with Javier Vinós by John Robson. Javier’s book is called “Solving the Climate Puzzle”. The video is very interesting.

Interesting. An atomic bomb plus 50 years of sea-level rise, acid rain, and temperature rise, has done nothing to stop the coral from recovering and thriving in the pulverized bikini atoll.

The insanity of the man-made climate change never stops. Here's the CBC's latest contribution to the lunacy:

Provinces need to do more to cut emissions, feds say, while announcing Canada's new 2035 climate target

Canada will cut carbon emissions 45 to 50 per cent below 2005 levels by 2035, the federal government announced today, signalling a small advance over the current target but falling short of what a key group of climate experts had recommended to the government.

Put more simply, Canada will have to slash carbon emissions by at least 41 per cent in the next 10 years. The new target for the 2035 milestone year will be followed by a multi-year consultation process to craft a plan to reach the target, guiding climate policy for the next decade.

"We chose a target which we felt was both ambitious but achievable. I want to be as ambitious as Canada can possibly be, but the federal government can't do it alone," said Steven Guilbeault, Canada's minister of environment and climate change.

"If we could work constructively with provinces across the country, then Canada will be able to do much more much, much faster."

Canada's climate laws require the government to set new targets every five years, and it is also part of the country's obligations under the United Nations convention that guides international climate action.

A bunch of DEI losers will determine the amount of poverty we all should suffer? This is so Trudeau on every level.

There are no outstanding qualifications to any of the NZAB members. So disgusting. The NZAB is a body of butnars that won't last past 2025. Somehow "saving the planet" from climate change is all about giving indigenous jobs/money.

Trump's climate threats rattle world’s biggest science meeting

There are lots of nervous Climate Scientists wondering what is about to come down with the new Trump Administration. I would think if they have a pure scientific perspective and do legitimate research they might not have to worry. Unfortunately, a lot of climate science today including attribution pseudo-science hinges on non-credible.

I am 100% all for cleaning up our messes, taking care of rivers and streams, stopping the spread of mollusks dangerous to our water habitats, using scrubbers to reduce air pollution and so on.

But the “scientists” wanting to scare everyone about climate change, the weather and giving governments a reason to tax us more….I say, let them sweat!

Yes, exactly. I think more and more people are joining the pushback against the alarmist agenda.

Does anyone know what happened to the thread about the windmill farm on the coquehalla? My posts are deleted from my post history. Did some feelings get hurt while I was away...lol

It is not BC news, it is Kamloops news now. My comment also disappeared and there are no community comments allowed. Have to make your own topic :-)

In bigger news, there is bigger resistance than ever to the anti-fossil fuel renewables crowd.

As the COP29 circus concludes in Baku, the world is seeing the crumbling of the long-held illusion that a global transition to green energy is feasible, much less fair and desirable. Developing nations are proclaiming that they will not be deprived of necessary energy sources by nations that continue to feast on the very fossil fuels they frown upon. The disconnect between rhetoric and reality is stark, and developing countries are calling attention to it.

Haha, it seems “developing nations” easily see through the bafflegab that we (the developed nations) that we cloak ourselves in.

In short, “the Emperor has no clothes”
