From all of the fake science reports and theorizing regarding "climate change" and scare tactics to fool people around the world and get people, country's governments to flood wasted money towards a false cause

They have suckered and scared most into thinking it's actually real

Read up on when they found the hole in the ozone, then they claimed it was getting bigger, then they claimed that the earth's ozone layer was burning away because of fluorocarbons (stuff like carbon dioxide, HVAC refrigerants R-12, R-22, R-512, etc) were banned and outlawed around that what was it the 1992 agreement all to be found as a false truth

Ozone is a  natural occurrence that is like earth's own cleaning aid (like using bleach to clean your white linen), happening most times during lightening/thunderstorms....

The hole in the ozone is over Antarctica and was found around 1947 and it shrinks and enlarges and shrinks over and over, never has gotten any bigger

Yet this was Big business way to increase their profit margins and force the world to pay more as they phased out the refrigerants I posted earlier, then created new refrigerants like R-410 and R-134 then turn around and rinse repeat the process of suckering people to change over and convert their HVAC&R systems to use the new refrigerants

Nothing new under the Sun!   History always repeats itself

It is up to each individual to see through the BS and find the truth

The Earth's history shows that "climate change" is nothing more than Nature's way of working, nothing more-or-less

Changed house heating and warm water from oil to geothermal heating ( before 3.5 cubic meter oil /year)
Changed to car that use Ethanol (E85) instead of gasoline
Work from home all days in the week.
Changed most of my customer meetings to Skype meetings.
Changed 90% of lights in house to LED.


Still fly sometimes but my fossil footprint is quite less, since 95% of all electricity in Sweden is either hydro- or nuclear powered.

The climate is always changing.  We are still learning the cycles. The notion that CO2 is a problem is beyond ludicrous.

The climate change I'm worried about is our current reduced solar energy. An object the size of the Sun isn't likely to have quick cycles. Something that happens every thousand years or more is unlikely to be well documented. Look at the Maunder  Minimum and the Little Ice Age if you aren't familiar with it. Lasted 70 years. It's a recurring cycle and we seem to be in the new one.

https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/7122/chilly-temperatures-during-the-maunder-minimum

Climate change is mostly a political issue and unfit for discussion here so let's stick to the science part.

I'm sure Save disagrees with me about which science.   :D

I ride a bicycle everywhere. I get to yell at smug greenies in Prius's.  The "expert class" that said fat is bad, eggs are bad, meat is bad, heavy squats are bad, running fast is bad, are now jetting around the world to say jetting around the world is bad. They seem insincere.

Climate change is btw not not controversial or debated. It is in the end all about thermodynamics. And it has been known for more than 100 years. I dont believe in climate change, i just accept the data. Even a inconvenient truth is a truth. It is going to change our society fundamentally no matter what. What we can do is minimizing the effects and adapt. But it wont go away just because we pretend it doesnt exist.

Edit: i will not bother to reply anymore in this topic since ive seen you argument about it before and it is just a waste of time.

When people are rude it shows they lack something in their lives.

When we are children we get a child's understanding of religion.

As we get older we might realize that childish knowledge is flawed. A thoughtful person might revisit the whole idea with an adults understanding of human nature and society. Which you would want to discuss on a different forum that allows such debates.  :aok

Zimme83,

I studied nuclear physics (why the Navy wanted me and signed me up with a $6k signing bonus and gave me my diploma upon enlistment at the age of 16) found out I was going to be on a submarine and switched rating to Aviation Machinist/jet mechanic.....) and Thermodynamics I studied after my Navy stint at the university of central Florida with multiple other certification courses on energy rating, auditing and geothermal and Solar energy and photovolitic panel usage at the Solar Energy Center, Coco beach, Florida near Cape Canavarl...

I agree that it is a political issue FLS as well as Big Business

I've designed multi-million dollar HVAC&R systems for the DOD and 3 different branches of military as well as 2 Vegas casinos/hotels

I'm confident that I know what is actually going on and I'm not one to follow "man's word" when I know I'm being lied to

I will leave it at that on the matter

I'm all for energy conservation

The people who blindly say that it's nothing, or that this is just a "cycle" selectively ignore certain facts. This has happened in a 100 year or less period, which is NO CYCLE. It's a result of artificial(abnormal) influence put on it by humanity. Cycles happen over thousands of years, and there has been no asteroid strike or supervolcanic eruption. You can continue to delude yourselves, but I have no doubt that God will deal with those who ignored and continued to destroy His earth. The rest should think about what they are leaving their posterity....Eden or Hell.......

TC you are both right and wrong.

Yes, the Earth has a natural cycle and warming / cooling is a part of that.  However, to ignore the part that us Humans influence the climate is folly.  We are an unstoppable, destructive force and yes, we do influence the climate.  To do nothing is to condemn the Earth to death.  To adopt more natural practices is much more sustainable.

I can accept that, FESS...

Yes man / humans are a destructive force

But there will always be a Spring, Summer, Autumn/Fall and Winter seasons as is written and the earth will be rejuvenated back to the way it began

and there are all kinds of cycles (read as history repeating) like 10 year, 20 year, 30 year, --- - - 100 year, 1,000 year weather cycles

I don't know it all, I learn something new everyday and science (all categories) as well as history intrigues me

I think ya'll are missing a big point here.  Isn't climate change a symptom of a larger problem?

7 billion living on a planet meant for 200M - 1 Billion.

What could go wrong?

Consumption of all the world's natural resources? Destruction of our fragile environmental ecosystem? A lifestyle based on consumption of these resources that destroy said environmental ecosystem?

For example, if the Amazon forests are cut/burnt down, the planet loses 6% of its oxygen-producing capabilities. The Amazon forest helps regulate the weather - keeps temperatures cooler, oceans cooler, lands moist, produces rain, drives the gulf stream, and a lot of unrefutable scientific facts on how it influences weather in the America's. That's just science. Kinda cool. Very boring.

If our oceans get too warm, the phytoplankton that produces 50% of the world's oxygen will die. At 15% of oxygen in the air (20.1% is normal), people start to suffer from hypoxia. 

At 10% oxygen, mass extinction. If you can't breathe, you die right?

To complicate the oxygen issue, we have these outliers of sensitive ecosystems...

If the trees die, the planet dies.

If the bees die, the planet dies.

If the birds die, the planet dies.

If the phytoplankton dies, the planet dies.

If we pollute the ocean and environment too much, and one of those occur, the planet dies.

And if the planet dies, we die. And you can't wrap yourself in money to help breathe if the planet cannot produce oxygen.

Climate change is really happening and its been brought on by mankind.  The only real remaining question is how much to spend combating it.

https://xkcd.com/1732

Bring on the electric vehicles (despite the gloom-sayers on these very forums, there's still no evidence that the electrical grid will collapse from widespread EV use, even in countries like Norway where the vast majority of vehicles sold are EVs), solar panels, alternative energy sources, and yes, the latest generation of nuclear power.  Carbon tax until its financially infeasible to emit large quantities of carbon.

Screw vegetarian diets though, mankind evolved to eat meat.  We either survive with the CO2 emissions of cow farts or we perish with them, there is no without them.

The government should finance more research into advanced electric transportation, including trains and aircraft.  Obviously nothing is going to get accomplished (failing article II section 4) by the government until January 2021, but after then, I expect things to move fairly quickly.

And before some idiot criticizes electric vehicles for just shifting the carbon source, A) large generators are more efficient than small ones, so 1000 cars running on electricity powered by one big gasoline generator will always be more efficient than 1000 cars running on 1000 small gasoline engines... blame the laws of thermodynamics if this hurts your world view, and B) electricity can more easily get cleaner quicker.... take a dirty plant offline and put a cleaner or even zero emission plant in its place, and BAM, all those EVs just got cleaner.

NASA is referring to the thermosphere.  NASA didn't mention volcanoes, just solar output. Volcanic eruptions don't cross the stratosphere.

Climate change is really happening and its been brought on by mankind. ....

Electric vehicles don't do anything to help the environment. They aren't even neutral. And have fun when the electricity is off. The US leads the world in carbon reduction but as long as China and India have other priorities they aren't going to play along.

The real problem with electric is the batteries and R&D has been ongoing. A government graft program won't speed it up.

The good news is that CO2 is a fake problem.

This was written in 1920, shortly before the world ended. And here we are, debating fire and ice again.  :D

Fire and Ice by Robert Frost

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

Whatever a small country do or not is not the issue here, the world is building 1600 new coal power plants as we talk.

If you add energy, things will happen, what the impact is remains to be seen, but there is few reasons not to invest in alternatives, 4rd generation of nuclear power could possible may solve many problems with pollution and help us with needed power to use for all needs including fresh water supply, as well as get rid of caches of plutonium.

Just as a side note: The Gulf stream pulls the sea level lower on the American continent and if it stops or radically changes, the US East Coast will go west. So the Netherlands may not suffer that much. But if the Gulf stream changes it will cause a much colder weather in Central and Northern Europe. And teach the British to drink cold beer...

PS: O2 levels were much higher when the dinos roamed the plains.

Infrared heat comes from the Earth's core during the night.  It slightly heats up the earths atmosphere. When there is a cloud cover during the night, the heat gets trapped and it's slightly warmer. During the day, the suns heats up the earth, on a cloudy day, it's typically cooler. That's it. It's been the suns cycles that has warmed or cooled the earth for billions of years.

Co2 does not heat up the earth. It's a natural substance that breaks down in the atmosphere as it rises. A greenhouse is a perfect example, plenty of Co2 is actually great for the climate. It means there is more water in the atmosphere. Co2 and water would actually cool the atmosphere if it were to get too hot (condensation and rain during a low pressure system).  It's the same reason why deserts are hotter than tropical climates. There are less molecules in the air for the suns Ray's to bounce off of.

Pollution does not heat up the planet. Pollution is bad. Pollution should be worked on to reduce poor air quality (aka china and south east Asia) but that has absolutely 0 to do with the earths climate and seasons in relation to the sun.

You don't feel any volcanic pollution from the last 5 that went off. You don't feel China's pollution in europe. That is because those compounds break down in the atmosphere over time. They don't just flow over to Antarctica and make all of the ice melt. That's not how it works.

Believe me when I tell that an evil society of clowns are trying to subvert the people to put them in a one world government. This is how they are stealing your money to fund it. Cough Paris accord cough. Don't fall for it.

When the rich and famous start moving in droves out of their multi million dollar homes on the coast of Miami, then maybe I'll take it seriously.

Molecules shrink as they rise thus releasing any trapped heat, heat energy then cools as it becomes low pressure. There's a reason why deserts are hotter than tropical climates. That's because there's a lack of water and Co2 in the atmosphere which cannot create condensation to create clouds and rain which cool the atmosphere.

Back in the late 80s/early 90's I was on the darknet and got access to a cache of documents that were supposed to have been secured involving that group I posted earlier......the biggest eye opener to me in 1990 was that they had already chosen Clinton to be president in the early 70s, when 89 or 93.... I printed out 3 3" ring binders full of those documents and passed them to my parents who had bought the house here at the lake while I was still active, parents gave me and my new wife the land my old home was, then told our old neighbors of what I had and they wanted to read all those documents... I never got them back and no matter how deep I've dove into the darknet since then, I have only come across about 8 pages worth of what I once had..... I don't really need to do searches anymore it all plays out as has been foretold to us by HIM via Mathew.... For he has told us all things......

And I am very doubtful most here would even believe or give consideration of what I just posted......


As I said before it is up to each individual to  learn the difference between what is BS and what is the truth....

It's all academic IMO due to China and some extent India.  Two countries whose populations make up 1/3 of the planet almost.  China doesn't give an F squared about climate change, and will continue to be the largest producer of "evil co2" without a care in the world about meeting global climate change prevention numbers or whatever.  Not to mention that both of these countries are responsible for 90 to 95 percent of the world's plastic and garbage going into the oceans - a fact that even the most left of the leftist climate change supporters do not dispute.  So, if neither of these countries plan on doing much about climate change, what's the point of bankrupting the West in order to meet some eco-targets regarding emissions?  Yes, I realize China is the "world leader" in solar/wind power, but it's a drop in the bucket compared to the fossil fuel energy generation, and always will be. 

Also, do some research on the NEEM ice core drilling projects in Greenland.  The data from these cores show that 10 to 15k years ago up until present day, that the temperatures and co2 levels got much higher than the worst projections are for the year 2100 currently - how did that happen without humanity?  A negative doesn't prove a positive, just because the majority of science believes that man made emissions are responsible doesn't prove it, especially when as ^^ the planet got much, much hotter all on its own several times in the last 10k years.

I said that - China is the world leader in solar/wind, but as FLS (and I already) pointed out, China despite of this plans to still be the world leader in fossil fuel emissions as well for a long time to come.  Plus in addition to being the largest co2 emitter, as I said China+India are also responsible for all but 5 to 10 percent of the garbage and plastic put into the planet's oceans and waterways. 

Wind/solar isn't cheap or particularly efficient based on cost/generated power.  I say this based on the solar array we've  owned for many years now, plus a family member is the Western Ops manager for Vestas wind farms here in Canada, and is responsible for 1500mw of wind generated rated output.

Here's the problem.

Since the ice age disaster predicted in the 1970's, the acid rain disaster predicted in the 1980's, and the ozone hole disaster predicted in the 1990's, there might not be enough vital strength left in our species to fight the global warming disaster predicted in the 2000's.

According to economic models forecasting the horrible effects of unchecked global warming, we are going to have to put up with this dire situation:  80 years from now, global GDP will be 10% lower than it would be without global warming.  That means in 2100, the world would have only 10x as much wealth as today instead of 11x as much wealth as today.  Grim indeed.

On the positive side, maybe it is possible that global warming eliminates the next ice age.  An ice age would cause global GDP to be 0x today's GDP and would wipe out 90+% of humans (and of most other species).  So, there is that consolation, maybe.

Of course, there are also some higher-probability things with regard to humans and the planet:  wars, nations so egregiously mishandling themselves that it causes mass misery and death of their own citizens, epidemics, Carrington events, supervolcanos, asteroid strikes, need for water, energy, food, dealing with waste, etc. -- things that we can clearly see the risk of without speculative models that have a thousand adjustable parameters (and thus are nearly certain to be useless for prediction).

Then there is the issue of us entering the age of media having drastically more-powerful tools to influence the populace.  We are living through -- right now -- the transition of big media upgrading to nuclear weapons of propaganda instead of the old conventional weapons of propaganda.  It is becoming a dangerous time where media is full of so many lies, fakes, factions, agendas, and attempts to manipulate that people should not believe most of what they see.  Eisenhower warned of the military/industrial complex.  We are in the time of the media/government-faction complex.

Global warming is not my greatest concern.

While there are many unsustainable aspects to our current situation there were real concerns like world hunger that we have sharply reduced instead of seeing the increase that was predicted. The fake problems are easy but I'm confident that the real problems will see innovative solutions, like fracking, because this is America.

Extinction Rebellion isn’t about the Climate

Yes, yes, I know. The climate is breaking down. It’s urgent. An emergency. We’ve only got a few years left to ‘fix’ it.
Indeed, we won’t fix it. Weather patterns will become increasingly unstable and unpredictable, and the effects it will soon have on how humans around the world grow food will be devastating, likely causing harvests to fail across entire continents and food prices to sky-rocket. Millions have already suffered due to the amplified instability. We’re facing imminent societal collapse (whatever that means), both around the world and in the UK. All of our lives are soon going to radically change.

None of this is particularly controversial. When a bus is driving with a certain momentum towards a person, it gets clearer and clearer that it will hit the person. After a certain point, it’s inevitable. And that’s where we stand now, with regards to the momentum of climatic change. The bus is about to hit us. Our lives are about to change. It’s not clear whether or not we’ll survive (as a species). Many species have already been run over. Two hundred species each and every day go extinct.

I’ve been with Extinction Rebellion (XR) from the start. I was one of the 15 people in April 2018 who came together and made the collective decision to try to create the conditions that would initiate a rebellion. I was a coordinator of one of the original five working groups, and I’ve been organising with XR day-and-night since then (frugally living off my savings so I don’t have to work, having quit an industry that paid me £1000/week). And I’ve been in RisingUp (the organisation from which XR has emerged) since the first RisingUp action in November 2016. I’m a RisingUp Holding Group member, and a member of the XR Guardianship Team.

From all of the fake science reports and theorizing regarding "climate change" and scare tactics to fool people around the world and get people, country's governments to flood wasted money towards a false cause

They have suckered and scared most into thinking it's actually real

Read up on when they found the hole in the ozone, then they claimed it was getting bigger, then they claimed that the earth's ozone layer was burning away because of fluorocarbons (stuff like carbon dioxide, HVAC refrigerants R-12, R-22, R-512, etc) were banned and outlawed around that what was it the 1992 agreement all to be found as a false truth

Ozone is a  natural occurrence that is like earth's own cleaning aid (like using bleach to clean your white linen), happening most times during lightening/thunderstorms....

The hole in the ozone is over Antarctica and was found around 1947 and it shrinks and enlarges and shrinks over and over, never has gotten any bigger

Yet this was Big business way to increase their profit margins and force the world to pay more as they phased out the refrigerants I posted earlier, then created new refrigerants like R-410 and R-134 then turn around and rinse repeat the process of suckering people to change over and convert their HVAC&R systems to use the new refrigerants

Nothing new under the Sun!   History always repeats itself

It is up to each individual to see through the BS and find the truth

The Earth's history shows that "climate change" is nothing more than Nature's way of working, nothing more-or-less

TC

Truth. I’m in the trade. It’s all about $$$ 2 years ago R22 was driven up to 8-900$ for a 32Lb cylinder its at 400~ right now. A total scam. They are doing the same thing again with 404A. A great refrigerant. Lots of companies are starting to use R290 which is propane. Another great refrigerant but can be dangerous if not handled properly.

And there your logic on this matter rests. Imagined conspiracy.

The military-industrial complex has been all about the money since the days of Eisenhower (and he voiced his concern). So to see the Pentagon (under the Trump admin) consider the global climate change the greatest threat to world security is actually quite a head's up (and not like a head-up-the-arse pov of some of the most vocal conspiracy heads). I find the 'fear of being conned' mindset taking precedence over the concern for humanity's well-being sadly toxic. After all, you'd think a conservative mindset would weigh the worse case scenarios on both sides (the cost of addressing the climate vs. the cost of not doing so) and side with what would be best for all of humanity and not just their political expedience or pocket book.

But then, I'm posting to those here that are hard-set in their povs, for or against. These type of threads have never accomplished anything productive.

None of this is particularly controversial.

Here's a good book that I highly recommend:  A Short History of Nearly Everything, by Bryson.  It is highly entertaining and informative overall.  (It's great as an audio book, read by the author, who is hilarious.)  One of the things it shows is the history of the development of scientific knowledge.

People think that science is very lofty and not subject to factional infighting, where the factions use all the dirty tricks of media or government (propaganda, calling in favors to unfairly support allies and lock out or censor opposing ideas, smears, misleading statements to drum up public and governmental support, whipping up hysteria, etc.).  In fact, the history of science is full of such things.

The field of global warming is no different. 

The whole field of global warming might end up being one of the many scientific fads in history that ended up being 100% hokum; or it might not.  But no one is going to know which -- not even the experts -- because the models behind it are nearly completely useless.  You cannot have models with a thousand adjustable parameters that are meaningful for anything complex (like the climate).  You end up fitting the past and finding zero predictive value.

CO2 currently is near a minimum for the history of our planet.  The only time it was near this low was part of the Carboniferous Period and part of the Permian Period.  It was many times higher during the others including the Triassic (dinosaurs), Jurassic (dinosaurs), Cretaceous (mammals), and Peleogene (primates).

(https://static.skepticalscience.com/images/Phanerozoic_CO2.gif)

Our planet has had periodic ice ages.  Maybe more CO2 in the atmosphere will delay or reduce a next ice age -- there's about as much evidence for that as global warming.  If so, because an ice age would wipe out most humans and other species, maybe it is a blessing that mankind increases CO2 a little (although we ourselves will never add enough to get us to the Triassic, Jurassic, or Cretaceous.  Also, plants grow better with more CO2 in the air.

A clearer graph of temperature over earth's history:

(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1b/65_Myr_Climate_Change.png)

The section labeled "rapid glacial cycles" are lots of ice ages one after the other.  Note that rapid glacial cycles happen now that the earth's temperature is near a 65-million-year minimum.

Paleocene (extinction of dinosuars, rise of mammals)
Eocene (primates)
Oligocene (more primates)
Miocene (hominids)
Pliocene (Australopithicus and stone tools)
Pleistocene (modern humans)
Holocene (now)

Liebensraum ... is that some love camps somewhere, and where do I apply ?

Zack can't be an Emperor, he is already running AH, I predict more haze on maps, and smog during next London Blitz scenario.

On top of that he need to fix Brexit, and later break Scotland and Ireland out of UK !

Remember he already have 6 African wives and are looking for more (maybe its in the camps he finds his chicks)
Zack is awesome.

As i started this thread.

1. There is more forests in Western Europe than there was 100 years ago
2. There are more forests in China than there was in 1970
3. Population will stop at 9 billion
4. There will be a problem with not enough people.
5. Child mortality in Africa is at the same levels as Europe in the 1950's
6. There are more fat people dying than dying from lack if food.


3. Do you know something the rest of us doesn't? 
4. Not enough people translate to lack of future food source related to question #3
6. Viable food source not working out in the long term related to question #3

6. Viable food source not working out in the long term related to question #3

1. I know a lot you dont know big boy😂
2.Increase in income and prosperity = smaller families - this had been known for the last 30 years  (population decline is irreversable in some parts of China due to policy of 1 child which has now been abandoned)
3. Problem with food resource has nothing to do with production but logistics, we can produce enough food its getting it to the people. (Capitalism will sort this out)
4. The increases in life spans and decrease in child birth will be the biggest problem for the world.
5. The fastest growing economy in the world is Africa and South America.

The enviromental issue is being pushed by multinationals, who had a meeting disussing how to increase profits by selling of carbon emissions.

The only place that will suffer the most is the Arab countries because they produce nothing and only revenue is based on carbon products used by non Arab nations.

That "imminent mini ice age" from the 70's was predicted for 60-70 years later, 2030 -2040. The current prediction for a cooling period is for the same time frame. It will likely be a very different climate change debate in 10 years.

This is why NASA's reporting about the Thermosphere cooling is important. It's evidence supporting a theory that doesn't require changing data to make a model work. There are also the previous occurrences in the historical record.

Not saying the world will end, but parts of it will be much colder than we're used to or prepared for.

...it's cooling because there are no sunspots (https://eos.org/research-spotlights/the-thermosphere-responds-to-a-weaker-than-normal-solar-cycle).  The Thermosphere has absolutely nothing to do with climate change and it mostly has to do with satellite altitudes as the thickness of the thermosphere is largely dependant on solar radiation and how to plan for said satellite orbits. The thermosphere increases in size with increased solar activity (i.e. increased sunspots) and shrinks and cools during solar minimum. Science.

Regardless or not if the planet is warming or cooling, the destruction of habitat and the consumption of our limited supply of natural resources on land and the ocean is not sustainable. And our fresh water supplies on the are getting less and less. (https://www.undispatch.com/bad-news-world-will-begin-running-water-2050-good-news-not-2050-yet/) Again, science.

As far as NASA goes, it is another formerly reliable organization, that was politicized, to project a message, (Climate taxes on CO2, so they can tax you for breathing).. And as such, is no longer reliable.. I seem to remember NOAA NASA and DOE being busted fudging data some years ago too, lol..

What limited supply of natural resources???

We are finding more and more oil reserves every year...They just realized that the Permian Basin in Texas has more oil than they ever dreamed of....It's just a matter of getting to it and getting it into production facilities...Horizontal drilling will take care of a lot of the "getting to it"

What resources??? Trees??? Water???

There is plenty of fresh drinking water....Unless you are a third world dope that can't keep your water well clean or working...or you don't have enough sense come up with some sort of water purification system (I am a water guy...don't try to tell me there is not enough water in the world to drink...I know better) I have been in the water business for over 15 years...only people who don't have fresh drinking water don't have enough sense to make it drinkable...they would rather war with themselves or poison eachothers wells or not perform maintenance on the wells that the western world drills them and basically hands them multiple ways to keep their water clean...they would rather crap in it and beg for more...

Yes natural resources are our most precious thing...there is more than enough to go around if you have sense...perhaps we should leave the third world be and let the Darwin effect do its thing...

Spotspots cause cooling? That's not science. Sunspots correlate with solar output. The lack of sunspots indicate less heat coming into a complex system. There is no science showing that CO2 is a problem. There is a simplistic model of CO2 affecting climate but it's hardly settled science. Hanson was recently in court where he lost a case because he couldn't/wouldn't validate his data. His work is considered fake science. The greenhouse effect theory dates from 1824.

Food for thought.

New York Times Aug. of 69: Stanford University biologist Dr. Paul Erhlich warned:  The trouble with almost all environmental problems is that by the time we have enough evidence to convince people, you're dead. We must realize that unless we are extremely lucky, everybody will disappear in a cloud of blue steam in 20 years.

In 2000, Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at University of East Anglia's climate research unit, predicted that in a few years winter snowfall would become "a very rare and exciting event." Children just aren't going to know what snow is."   (Look up Climate Gate, numbers were fudged in this report.)

In 2004, the US Pentagon warned George W. Bush that major European cities would be underwater.  Britain will be plunged into a Siberian climate by 2020.

In 2008 Al Gore, yes that Al Gore.  Predicted the polar ice cap would be gone in a mere ten years.

A Department of Energy study led by the US Navy predicted the Arctic Ocean would experience an ice free Summer by 2016.

In May 2014, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius declared, during a joint appearance with Sec.of state John Kerry that "we have 500 days to avoid climate chaos.

Peter Gunter, Professor at North Texas state University, predicted in spring 1970 issue of The Living Wilderness: Demographers agree almost unanimously on the following time table:  by 1975 widespread famines will begin in India; these will spread by 1990 to include all of India, Pakistan, China and the Near East, Africa.  By the year 2000,or conceivably sooner, South and Central America will exist under famine conditions.  By the year 2000, thirty years from now, the entire world, with the exception of Western Europe, North America, and Australia will be in famine.

Ecologist Kenneth Watt's 1970 prediction was, "If present trends continue the world will be about 4 degrees colder in global mean temperature in 1990, but 11 degrees colder in the year 2000. This is about twice what it would take to put us into an ice age.

I could go on and on.  Fact is people are more gullible today then ever before.  Also consider again as food for thought.  These predictions came from noted Scientists and Govt.Officials.

Consider this......how much money in taxes would you give to the government to fight this while naturally giving away some of you liberties?  There will be people in line to take your money and your rights.  Wherever there is money and power and libetries to be accrued someone or someones will always be there to take them.  For their benefit and not ours.  Think!  Observe and study.

The thing that those who say 'Oh look the predictions didn't come true' is that things have been done that changed the outcome.

That's true of some missed predictions and not others.  Acid rain, yes (reduced SO2).  Ozone hole, maybe, maybe not (more CFC's today, not less, thanks to China).  1970's ice age, definitely not -- not unless people think we would have an ice age today except that we put out a lot of CO2, which saved us.

The earth has had vastly more CO2 in the air than now, and vastly higher temperatures than now, yet plants and animals thrived during those times.

Also, we are near the 65-million-year low of temperature on our planet, and it is only since temperature plunged to this minimum that the planet has entered a phase of rapid glacial cycles.

Warming and CO2 aren't bad for life, but glacial cycles are very much bad for life.  Why are the people who think that they have concern for life on the planet not focused on this?

To me, global warming looks like a scientific fad mixed with climate religion.  There is a well-moneyed, well-connected church of global warming, with a hierarchy of climate priests above and cult of useful disciples below, all proselytizing for CO2 exorcisms and more money.  Then there are the con men in and out of government working to get rich on the governmental snake-oil trade.

...

Maybe you missed my post. The 1970's ice age was predicted for 2030-2040 and so far it looks possible as a replay of the Maunder minimum. The critical factor being any effect on ocean currents. So we had 60 years to get ready for it, 10 to go.

Since we have the historical record this is not pure speculation. So far it's starting the same way, with unusually low sunspot activity. Since we have satellites in the thermosphere, NASA has recorded the current decreased temperature.

This is basic science. Put less energy into a complex system and something changes.

Hopefully it will just be an inconvenient period of colder temperatures.

I used to be a climate change denier - I always thought that the destruction of our natural resources and wildlife habitat was the issue.  I thought that the scientists were fear mongers - after research money and attention/fame the more they could scream about how the planet is melting.

And then the scientific articles others produced were peer-reviewed. And reviewed. And reviewed again. And again. And no one could easily refute the science they used to come to their analysis. Right up there on fear-mongering about GMO foods. Science proved me wrong there too.

I certainly haven't seen a good scientifically peer-reviewed article that the temperatures AREN'T increasing.  I also haven't seen any scientifically proven articles that the oceans are getting colder. I also haven't seen any scientifically proven articles that CO2 levels are decreasing. 

And for a lot of us who tend not to trust what they see or hear from the media or government, climate change can be a really harsh debate. I tend not to trust either. Just give me the facts..but the facts are SO hard to trust.

Title: Re: Climate change
Post by: bozon on October 22, 2019, 01:48:35 PM
OK, since this debate is fairly civil, here is my POV on the matter.

1. Is there climate change? This is such a poorly defined question that a person with an agenda can easily twist it so the answer suits his needs. However, even if there is a climate change, it is a very minor effect. 20 years of this BS are long enough to refute the predictions of the models from 20 and even 10 years ago. Practically all of them over predicted global temperatures. Perhaps new ones are better, but the track record does not give much confidence in the people are doing them. We’ll see in a few years, because the people of the world will not do anything significant to prevent the forecasted weather change.

2. Assuming that there is a climate change, is the CO2 the cause?
Well, I am not up to date with the new models, but the old ones from 10 years ago were just awful in the way they handled the radiation transfer through the atmosphere. Against intuition, green house gas can only block so much radiation from escaping. When the physics of radiation transfer is done correctly, you get that there is a saturation point beyond which adding more green house gas (co2 in our case) hardly blocks any more radiation. If CO2 is to blame than this has to involve some indirect effect of vegetation or something, but not greenhouse effect.

3. OK, lets say that there is climate change and co2 is to blame- what should we do?
Well, we should do absolutely NOTHING that will attempt to affect the weather. We clearly don’t understand the system and should not mess with it in any drastic way. On top of that, the chances that someone can force the world population to act in a coordinated way towards this goal are zero. Not near zero - absolute zero. Therefore the $$$ are better invested in learning how to live in a world that is 2 degrees hotter than wasted on attempts to prevent that warming. Such a research will benefit humanity even if climate change is proven wrong!

4. So climate change is cow excrement. Should we burn more fossil fuels and release as much co2 as we like?
NO!
Fossil fuels produce actual pollution that is not co2. All this **** about co2 made people forget what pollution is, as opposed to a natural gas that is an essential component of life and nature. CO2 itself is not an issue, but the processes that release it usually involve real pollution in the form of toxins, heavy metals, other stuff that is bad to your health, and ugly stuff that is not recycled by nature (at least on time scales of human generations) that I do not want to see around me.
So emitting less CO2 is good, but low CO2 is not a measure of cleanliness. We absolutely shouldn’t damage the economy in order to reduce CO2. A stronger economy means more resources to fight actual pollution.

Is it unsustainable though? The US has proved it's not. I mean if we shut everything down that was blowing smoke into the air, and we all had to live like Indians in the 1500s, youd see more trash and pollution covering the US than ever before. Just look at how much trash homless people leave behind. Where I work, we have 10 broken down RVs down the street that the police won't do crap about. You wouldn't believe the amount of trash these people leave behind. Is this really 'sustainable'? Is this really better for the environment and climate?

If you cannot feel any of the smog from China, or feel any of the effects from any volcanoes in the last 10 years, what makes you think the climate you are in is feeling any of the effects from that smog? It's not. Oregon has some of the cleanest air on the planet. The sun hits very hard here because of the lack of molecules in the air. Then look at California and how smoggy it is. Oregon doesn't feel any of the effects from California's smog. That's less than 500 miles away. Therefore nothing is changing Oregon's climate. C02 breaks down in the atmosphere easier than most any other compound. How does C02 go all of the way to Antarctica and cause the ice caps to melt? It's scientifically impossible. You guys believe the earth is much smaller than it actually is. There is absolutely no evidence to suggest that american capitalism is unsustainable. Infact it has been the most sustainable and prosperous way of life ever created in the history of our planet.

The people that complain the most about a coming climate disaster are the worst polluters. Gore, and Musk for are instances that prove the point. Gore for the way he lives and Musk for the footprint of his industry. Even the methane engine of SpaceX is a worse carbon producer than even cars of the 1960s! It must be a way to compensate for their inadequacies.

Its Western political problem, the jig is up, until the powers that be shut down the free flow of information and bring India and China fully online.

They need another 20 years then they will have their new masses to use.

They suppressed Gutenburg with his printing press, its not about coin, its about who rides the biggest horse to lord it over the peasants.

Global warming is not discussed in Africa or  India the fastest growing economies in the world

This is offered only to maybe suggest a different train of thought; we all recall the almost Apollo 13 disaster.

Three astronauts and the entire NASA team were presented with an unprecedented and unforeseen set of issues. I accept this is a highly isolated problem relative to the apparent global scale of the issue under discussion.

But, my point is based in the fact that hundreds of scientists and engineers worked through the problems to get the three men home alive.... there was not a single politician involved.

Most of my decisions that lead to more efficient way of life are primarily done to save money so can`t really credit those as saving the planet. I do take environmental concerns into account when I give my vote for something (elections, public campaign etc).

It was a reply about medicare premiums..

In which I referred to the plight of many older people.. Who contract some sickness, requiring expensive treatments that drain away all the wealth they have earned over their lifetime.. But never cures the original condition, so they die anyway, but PENNYLESS.. Leaving nothing for their families!

I don't plan to waste everything I have earned, just to live a little longer in a hospital bed..
I look forward to the silver dawn, and the far great country, with some natural trepidation,
and the great anticipation, of a new adventure!

Unless that's all bullcrap, and things just go black! In that case, I'll be glad to be free of my misery, and be glad that my wealth went to the people I love.. Instead of medical bills!

Well said. I agree, throwing insults at those who believe differently than you just makes you look like a fool. Just because someone votes differently, prays differently, or lives differently than you does not give you a right to be disrespectful to that person. Just accept the differences and show some class by respecting other people and being kind. It is difficult to do at times, I'll admit, but we should all strive to struggle through it and respect one another despite what our differences may be.

I dont understand everything about this global warming, to me, it's just a guess.  but I do believe parts of it based on what I see and have experienced in my life.  for example, I wasnt born here, never seen smog, only what I saw in movies or tv and newspapers.  anyway, I had been living in los angeles for 3 months, going to highschool and it was hard on me, smog was bad, you could stand on one side of the football field and barely able to see the houses 200 yards from where you were.  this one night it was windy, wow the whole house was shaking at times.  when I woke up I went to school and I looked to my right and was amazed there were mountains about 40 or so miles away, maybe less and they were big mountains, the sky was clear, the wind had blown all the smog out to the ocean.  that's when they started with the air quality management, companies were up in arms, saying it would be the end of los angeles, it would cost too much money, cost jobs, whatever.  to this day we still have smog, but it's not as bad as it was 40 years ago.  some of what was tried, failed miserable and caused other problems.  and to this day we still have people complaining that it was a waste of resources and money, they go with "see, we still have smog" but ignore the part of how worst would it have gotten if nothing was done about it.

anyway, the part of this thread that I found interesting is DONT FEED YOUR PARANOIA.  I couldnt play today in the scenario because I got drunk, tripped and hurt my pinky finger, I ignored it, now the pain goes all the way to my elbow and it's painful to twist my wrist.  but I bet if I look hard enough on the web and the dark web, I will find out that the axis had a plan to stop some of us from playing today in the scenario.  I can find testimonials of other people that will agree with me that there's conspiracies in every game where some players will do anything to stop others from playing.  if I believe hard enough, I bet that guy who bought me 4 shots of tequila at the legion, who I have never seen before and nobody knows who he is, is part of some axis evil plan to stop me from playing.  prove me wrong.

sounds ridiculous doesnt it, but is it really less, more, or equal to some of the ridiculous things some of you guys believe in.  and if you do enough research, you will find binders and plans that some people have "discovered" that will prove you right and the others wrong.

all you need is a belief and you can find info to prove you are right and others wrong, not matter how wrong you can be.

Title: Re: Climate change
Post by: guncrasher on October 27, 2019, 01:58:20 AM
I listen to both sides of this and both sides are wrong and right.  now like I said, i have no education to say one way or another if we freeze to death or burn to death in this thing other than life experience.

as I mentioned before with what I saw in the air quality in los angeles when I moved here.  did some companies go under?  yes, did some jobs were lost?  yes.  on the other hand it forced companies to clean up their act and not make it worst. so what came out of it?  for one thing, they pushed harder for cars to be more fuel efficient and less emission. was that a bad thing?  so did them eco-nuts were wrong?  maybe, maybe not, but think about it when you fill up your tank at the pump.  other things came out of it, some wrong, some right.  some made things worst, some made things better.

just like with that y2k scare that lots of people say was a hoax.  but what came out of it?  again, companies were forced to clean up their acts and invest more money in updating their systems.  now big banks and insurance companies were already y2k compliant for the most part.  I know because I worked for an insurance company back then and their programs were designed to calculate past y2k.  but some other companies went under because they didnt, maybe not a large portion but mostly mom and pop that couldnt afford to upgrade.  our company was one of the first to have a computer on every desk instead of a terminal.  all of a sudden we were more efficient.  we didnt have to wait for the 4 typewriters available to type a letter.  10 years before were were using punch cards for some transactions.  so was it a hoax?  I say based on what you see or didnt see.

which brings me back to this freeze to death or burn alive thing which I dont understand.  what is the worst that could happen?  perhaps more fuel efficient cars?  a better lasting battery?  less reliance on oil?  cleaner air?  will it cost jobs? yes, it may, will some companies go under?  maybe.  but what do we have to lose if we do nothing?  perhaps nothing or maybe we will gain something like with the air quality management and the y2k thing.  lots of ideas were wrong but lots of ideas were correct.

we all have our own bias and that is a good thing, we all should never think alike.  but if you add things like well a billion years ago this guy got together with others and made a list of how he wants the world controlled, and I read about it because this guy found the list in some cave in france and posted in on the dark web and forgot to add a password to it.  then you are FEEDING YOUR PARANOIA.

so think, what will we lose or gain if we do nothing or something.  it is just that simple.

People often don't go farther than a very inadequate surface analysis when they say that.

In reality, we have X resources to deploy on a multitude of potential issues:  global warming, global cooling, asteroid strikes, Carrington events, bad governments, bad economies, food, security, geopolitical maneuvering, healthcare, education, poverty, crime, pollution, chaotic population migration, demographic problems, etc.

If you use Z of that towards global warming (Z is trillions of dollars, here), you are not using Z on any of those other items.  Which ones have a better expected benefit for expenditure of Z?

Many of those other things are as important (in my view, more important), with greater downsides if you blow it, and much higher probability of not being a scientific fad, than global warming.

Title: Re: Climate change
Post by: saggs on October 27, 2019, 05:30:06 PM
The question is; Do you want to burn, or freeze?

Here's what I know:

There a thing called the Milankovitch cycle, it has to do with the changes in earths orbit over time, and is why we have an ice age every 100,000 yrs or so, with a 20,000 yr inter-glacial period.  It is a well understood and documented thing. One of the best evidences for mankind's contribution to climate change is that we have deviated from that natural cycle.  According to some, we should be at the peak temperature of the cycle, or even on the downward side heading toward the next ice age, but instead we continue to warm at an accelerated rate.

So according to the "climate crisis" alarmists, if we do not fundamentally transform human society in 12 years we will all die from warming.  BUT... if we somehow do all they demand, and eliminate all human effect on the climate, well, then it will revert to the natural cycle and we will all die from freezing.

So, you want to burn or freeze?  The only certainty is that the climate will not remain static, simply because we wish it to.



Other questions:

Is climate change real?    Of course, it is in constant change.

Is mankind to blame?     Partially, evidence suggests we have caused a deviation from the natural cycle.

Is it an existential threat to us as a species?  No, it is a very slow change.   We will adapt using ingenuity and technology, just like we always have.

If it is an existential threat, is governments and regulation the solution? No.


In short, climate change is real, man contributes to it in some degree (how much is impossible to tell), and I don't worry about it at all. The people out there preaching it will be the end of our species either;  (A) need some cause to give their live meaning, and this is it. or (B) stand to profit massively from the solutions they are hocking. or (C) politicians looking to get votes from groups A and B.

I love discussing things like this here.  :aok

This place has a much wider assortment of people than what I otherwise get to talk to.

I've read some of those other books, as well and several by Krugman; an excellent one to me (but way too dry for most people to want to read it) This Time is Different, by Reinhart and Rogoff; and the excellent Freakonomics, by Levitt and Dubner.  Some ones related to this (sort of) but more about civilization overall that I liked:  Civilization, by Furguson; Why Nations Fail, by Acemoglu and Robinson; Guns, Germs, and Steel, by Diamond; The History of the Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire, by Gibbon; and Conquests and Cultures, by Sowell.

What makes Basic Economics by Sowell so awesome is that it lays out macroeconomics very well, thoroughly, and with lots of important real-world examples, and is something anyone can read and benefit from.  It's the best book on it I've read other than the about equally good Economics in One Lesson, by Hazlitt, which is a shorter.

My feeling is that if a lot more people read one or the other of those books (Basic Economics or Economics in One Lesson), nations would have significantly better governments.

Nevertheless, your previous reply wasn't relevant to either of my posts because:
-- One of my posts was laughing at Zack's joke and had nothing at all to do with macroeconomics.
-- The other of my posts was about macroeconomics and had nothing at all to do with Zack's joke.

You are still hallucinating a connection that doesn't exist -- at all.

And now you are shifting the topic, namely to this:

Quote
And, um, no .... parsing and cherry-picking out bits and pieces of a big picture problem isn't how 'things work.' You might reconsider what books are 'most-important.' You can't 'macro-economic' climate change away. ;)

Which is gibberish.

I am not cherry picking anything.  If you go back to my posts about global warming, you will see that I'm going through the most-general, most-basic data there is (namely, temperature and CO2 history of the earth) and explaining my point of view based on that.

None of my points is "macro-economic-ing climate change away".  My point is that you can spend a bunch of money on global-warming stuff, or you can spend that bunch of money on other things, which is indisputably true.  My opinion, which you can debate, is that the other stuff is more likely not to be scientific fads or hokum; and even if the global-warming field ends up not being a scientific fad or hokum, my opinion is that other stuff would have a better benefit for humans anyway.

You can debate the points I actually make.  But so far you are either purposefully misrepresenting my view, suffering from cognitive dissonance, or so horribly misunderstanding my points that the effect is the same.

Arlo, I give you a failing grades in science, scientific reasoning, and debate.   :neener:

My mentioning such didn't have to be entirely related to your love of macroeconomics.

Then my post also included that your division of climate versus migration versus hunger, etc. and how finances could only go to one or the other as if they weren't interrelated was a broken perception, love of macroeconomics or not.

You don't have to like that. Obviously you don't have to even understand that. I stated, early on, how this thread was a waste of everyone's time no matter what their opinion on the subject since it's not really a discussion about either understanding or solution seeking (as has been made obvious).

Everyone should just bluster on, see how far they can push the 'mutual respect' envelope and make crude 'funny' posts that make themselves feel better about their opinions.

Gibberish.  You can spend X on global warming, and then it isn't available to spend on other things that are not global warming.  Global warming is a collection of items, of course, as is nearly everything you buy.  You could buy a sail boat for $100k, or spend it on a house improvement, or 2 years of out-of-state university.  In all of those cases, some of that money will go to the oil industry (chemicals used in sail boats, houses, college buildings, faculty using gas in their cars).  Everything has some overlap of where the money goes -- you don't then conclude that money into global warming gives the same distribution of results as putting money into those other things I listed.

Polar bears don't technically hibernate in the sense that other bears do. Polar bear mothers go from fall to spring without food while living in the den she has built for her cubs. It's not really hibernating, it's just several months without food while giving birth then feeding cubs.  Not completely asleep like hibernating or the other thing they do called walking hibernation which isn't really hibernating either. As you say, a picture of a skinny mother bear with cubs isn't technically a picture of a Polar bear after hibernating. But it's also not evidence of climate change melting the ice caps and stranding the starving bears.

It's all academic IMO due to China and some extent India.  Two countries whose populations make up 1/3 of the planet almost.  China doesn't give an F squared about climate change, and will continue to be the largest producer of "evil co2" without a care in the world about meeting global climate change prevention numbers or whatever.  Not to mention that both of these countries are responsible for 90 to 95 percent of the world's plastic and garbage going into the oceans - a fact that even the most left of the leftist climate change supporters do not dispute.  So, if neither of these countries plan on doing much about climate change, what's the point of bankrupting the West in order to meet some eco-targets regarding emissions?  Yes, I realize China is the "world leader" in solar/wind power, but it's a drop in the bucket compared to the fossil fuel energy generation, and always will be. 

Also, do some research on the NEEM ice core drilling projects in Greenland.  The data from these cores show that 10 to 15k years ago up until present day, that the temperatures and co2 levels got much higher than the worst projections are for the year 2100 currently - how did that happen without humanity?  A negative doesn't prove a positive, just because the majority of science believes that man made emissions are responsible doesn't prove it, especially when as ^^ the planet got much, much hotter all on its own several times in the last 10k years.

Majority of science? I have not found that proven anywhere.

400 parts per million? 0.04% of the atmosphere is CO2, which is required by plantlife, and some nutters think that's going to DESTROY the planet? Not going to happen.

Many European countries subside changes for their own reasons, some because they do believe in climate change, but hey -  it's just economy for them.

If I can change an import from another country to a domestic source (electricity in my country), and increase the output so we even can export the product to countries that put nuclear out of use (read Germany),

The result is that country will have more export and less import.

A change from oil based heating/transport to me was an easy choice, it took 3-4 years to get even on my investments in energy changes.

Of course, when enough have done their changes, they will increase tax on electricity and Ethanol so state income will remain the same, you just have to board the train early to benefit from it.

1. The bastion state of "climate change" is burning more CO2 with these fires than any car has in the last 10 years. So much for the environment and all of those animals, huh.  Millions of people out of power and fleeing. Hundreds dead. Houses and structures completely burnt to the ground.

2. More poverty per capita than any other state, in the 7th largest economy on the planet. As their labor is Chinese. Fascism at it's finest. Google and Silicon Valley manipulating the US into government control fascism.

3. Selling out to China. Good thing we recently got our port back.

4. Selling out to the UN and Rothchild PG&E Enterprise burning the state down for agenda 30.

5. Hollywood selling out to China.

6. State ran by mafia families.

7. More heroin overdoses and drug abuse than ever before in history.

8. Some of the highest taxes on planet robbing the citizens blind. Creating astronomical inflation.

9. Rampant illegal infestation ruining the sovereignty of the state. As all your tax money funds them and their schooling and healthcare.Then they send their cash back to Mexico.


Adam Schiff, Feinstein, Pelosi, Maxine Waters, Newsome, Jerry Brown. All criminal mafia syndicates. Unspeakable crimes not suited for this board.

I could go on and on.

You'd think people would wake up and revolt against these cowards, but Californians seem to be too dazed and confused. Now their criminal leaders are trying to comitt a coup on our nation's president.

if you had bothered to read the report on the research you would know.  basically it, they were doing some research into farm raised shrimp.  they noticed that some shrimp were not as active as they should, they suspected that they were not getting enough oxygen due to bacteria in the water.  to prove it first they prod the shrimp to "run" around in a tank, to see if they tired too quickly, that was too time consuming, so they built a tiny treadmill from spare parts.

all this was done to try to figure out why the shrimps body is not fighting the infection.  if they can find out why, maybe they can find out how to fix it.  and we would have more shrimp for shrimp scampi.  doesnt sound so bad, does it?

and by the way, the research grant was exaggerated by those claiming research waste.

Dont buy Feit Electric bulbs. Theirs are rated for 22 years also but say in the small print if you only use it 3 hours a day.

brook the experiment was trying to figure out why bacteria in the water affects the shrimp.  so what better idea to test that than by injecting the shrimp with that bacteria and make it run on the treadmill if it really affects it.  they compared healthy samples with those injected with the bacteria.  then maybe they can figure out why the shrimp dont talk and tell them if they really feel sick or not.  ok that's  a joke.  but they examine then the shrimp organs and try to figure out why their immune system doesnt  fight the bacteria.  if they can figure out how it affects them they they can find a way to fix it.

Imagine a child feeling the need to spend the rest of her life teaching 'grown-ups' how to care about an environmental crisis because they're self-centered arses. Which 'big government' are you imagining?  ;)

Imagine a child who doesn't really understand the world, has never taken a climatology class, or chemistry class even, being put in fear every day of their young life due to propaganda that the world will end if the entire world doesn't destory their industry.

Id say thats psychological manipulation and child abuse.

But when we do it, we call them, marines, soldiers, sailors.... And we tell them we are proud of them as we should.

nope, we still have plastic straws just like everywhere else.  the law only applies to sit down restaurants, not bars or fast food places.  and even in sit down restaurants, they will give you a straw if you request one.

the law says they cannot give you a straw automatically, you have to request it.  it doesnt seem like california really banned straws, does it?

semp

edit:  but it seems some people who didnt know any better bought straws for a 1.50 each to make fun of a certain group.  now who is the dork.  the one who requests a straw or the one who pays 1.50 for each one  :ahand

Just wait... the next step is all straws  :noid

Just wait... the next step is all straws  :noid

omg then it will be the end of the world.  let's all unite and protest this injustice.

it all started with plastic bags.  and the ones who yelled the most have been going to costco, pace and whatever other similar store and they had no bags.  and they somehow survived and costco is thriving even with people fighting over boxes to put their groceries in their cars.  how many people are standing in front of costco and demand they provide plastic bags?

funny thing is when at home, we'll make a drink and use no straws.  but somehow we think that going to a bar and not having straws is disgusting as if the inside of the glass is cleaner than the rim.  it's not the rim of the glass that causes health problems it's the alcohol that does.  but it makes us somehow feel better if there's a straw.  ridiculous isnt it.  I understand if you buy a soda at burger king it's better to have a straw than to drink without it as you are driving, and that's not gonna change.  me when I go and eat inside I dont get a lid or a straw, but most people will put a lid and a straw, because that's how they grew up.  to me that's a waste.

I remember about 5 years ago, I was dating this girl that had an 18 year old kid.  he wanted to dye his hair a different color, she told him it was disrespectful and made a big deal about it.  when she told me I told her to pick her battles, he's a good kid, let him make his own choices. having a different color hair is not that big of a deal.  not like he's a drug addict or wants to tattoo his face. that you should fight him to the end.

anyway, pick your own battles.  it makes a big difference having a straw and a lid when driving a car or walking.  going to a restaurant or a bar and not having a straw is not really that big of a deal.  unless of course you are handicapped like my best friend.  it makes the difference between having a drink or not for him.  for the rest of us it means nothing.

By the end of the Obama 8 years Millennials had been asked questions about babyboomers related to the state of the world at least once a year. A constant response was the old people screwed the world for them and they wanted all the babyboomers to die already and be gone. A large sample group felt that hostility because of the poor economic prospects for paying off their student loan. And a consistent sample group who worshiped at the alter of climate change wanted babyboomers dead becasue they wanted to save the dystopian future that had been spoon fed to them since grade school.

Taking stances on issues is a mirror of age and experience. The very inexperienced, and short on age demographic sadly can vote. So most of their ideas without experience are not their own.

the young and inexperienced can go to war protecting us.  and we encourage it and feel proud of them.  but if they take a stand on anything else, somehow it's bad because they dont have age and experience.

Either my opinion outweighs yours or yours mine, then. I have no idea how much you weigh, though. I can picture you spherical, however. At least your head. :cool:
