Re: Science Rant, Not politics: Can CO2 cause "Climate Chang
Yeah you can always count on Rogman and Coydog for the comedy relief in this thread.... Krugman as an expert on ANYTHING!!!! HAHAHAHAHAH.
Then the sputtering references to Drumpf/gumpf ... none of them seem to understand how INFANTILE that style of argument sounds when you are a room full of grown-ups. Yeah the Ruskies have taken over the USA. Literally insane.
And these little children are so scared because they are CERTAIN that the world is burning up...despite a total lack of evidence. Bed-wetters. You could picture them huddling around the TV watching John Oliver sputter and fume declaring, like a teen telling scary stories to children, "then the earth became 0.04 degrees warmer!!!!" in a terrifying voice. Then all the children scream and hide their heads under the covers.
I honestly feel that scaring children, both literal children and emotional children, by telling them terrifying lies about the world burning up is an immoral act. A bit like screaming fire in a crowded theater.

Re: Science Rant, Not politics: Can CO2 cause "Climate Chang
whats interesting is that neither one of them are actually infantile, bedwetters, emotional children, or anyone you would consider a crybaby in real life...there's a huge disconnect between who they are/seem to be and their 'politics"...it's the part I don't get...I always feel like they try to sell an argument they would never buy themselves...Sgt Eddy Brewers wrote:Yeah you can always count on Rogman and Coydog for the comedy relief in this thread....

I have no reason to doubt what you claim. I have lots of really cool friends, smart and sane who are somehow taken in by this nonsense. Fun as hell to hang with.

I ain't making claims about the intelligence or sanity of anyone based on this single perplexing issue.... except for judging that..... YOU are obviously pretty freaking bright (because we agree!)

Paris accords
Coal to remain India's main energy source in coming decades.
Coal, which powers around three-quarters of India's electricity, will continue to be the foremost energy source over the coming decades, government think-tank Niti Aayog said in its Three-Year Action Agenda released Thursday.
It is important that India increases its domestic coal production to provide energy security and reduce its dependence on imports, it said.
By 2019, the government will explore 25% of the untapped 5,100 sq km coal bearing area to ensure availability of more coal mining blocks, it said.
There will also be efforts to convert 25% of the 139.15 billion mt of coal reserves that were in the 'indicated' category as of March 31, 2016 into the 'proved' category by offering top exploration companies attractive contract provisions, the report said.
https://www.platts.com/latest-news/coal ... 1334c8f173
Paris accords allowed India to double their coal production by 2020. But don't worry, India is "aiming" for a "target" of 40% renewable energy by 2030. Any guesses on what will comprise the remaining 60%? Any guesses on the accuracy of the aim or the target?

Coal is currently the power for 60% of their electricity, hydro is 15%. Wind is significant at 10%.

Re: Science Rant, Not politics: Can CO2 cause "Climate Chang
You're clearly missing the analogy. Certainty today doesn't always look so certain in the rear view mirror. But here's another try, and very well written.rogman wrote: As you're someone who equates the issue of climate change as being little more than a butter versus margarine debate, it's about what I'd expect from you. Obama wasn't, and still isn't, wrong.
Butter. Margarine. Butter.

Re: Science Rant, Not politics: Can CO2 cause "Climate Chang
Houston just set the record for rainfall associated with a tropical storm. 51 inches, and likely to go higher. Madhatter is the fastest biker in his age group, but only on Wednesdays, and only at Snowshed. Bears are on the increase, setting bear sighting records.Coydog wrote:

In each case, I'm not converting to Gorism, I'm not buying stock in Madhatter Wheaties boxes, and I'm not putting up bear fence.
I think everyone on the board agrees there has been some warming. And that the satellite data dates back less than 40 years.
