There IS a problem with global warming... it stopped in 1998
brenthutch replied to rushmc's topic in Speakers Corner
Not only do they work well with renewables, they are indispensable. Without fossil fuels, renewables just don't work. (on a large scale) -
Agreed

It is common for the Pentagon to overestimate the capabilities of a potential foe, it is how they get more funding. Remember the Soviet Union? We had a missile gap, a tank, gap, an aircraft gap, a throw weight gap, etc... the AK-47 was imbued with mystical powers while the M-16 was a jam-prone toy made by Mattel. But just look how our stuff stacked up against their stuff in the real world. Google Battle of 73 easting if you need a reminder.

A blue whale is 25X larger than an elephant, but an elephant is still pretty huge. My point was that a small carbon footprint correlates very poorly with a healthy environment. It was a rejoinder to DJL's comment that economies which are trying to develop, using coal, don't care about the health and wellbeing of their populations.

Advanced economies don’t have small carbon footprints. That is the whole point of this thread.

What about them? They are all in the top third of carbon producers on the globe. We know how to reduce our carbon footprint, Sub-Saharan Africa has shown us the way.

As you well,well know, that is a function of natural gas supplanting coal, not wind and solar. AKA, Fossil fuels are replacing better fossil fuels. We produce more "renewables" from burning tires, garbage and wood than we do from wind and solar combined. (sorry if that hurts your feelings) -
My seven year old son seems to think it is OK to punch his eleven year old sister in the back as long as he shouts "Shiatsu massage!" before doing it.

Good health and a large carbon footprint go hand in hand. Countries with the highest per capita carbon footprint are: Saudi Arabia, Australia, USA, and Canada. The countries with the lowest carbon footprint per capita are: Lesotho, Burundi, Chad, Mali, The Congo Republic and Rwanda. Where would you rather live? Saudi life expectancy-75 years, Australia- 82.5 USA- 78.5 Lesotho life expectancy- 53 years, Burundi-60, Chad- 54

https://resourceworld.com/russia-eyes-big-plans-for-coal-production-and-exports/ somebody needs to tell Russia that coal is dead “Russia plans to increase its domestic coal production up to 448-530 million tonnes annually until 2024 and up to 485-668 million tonnes annually until 2035, according to the recently presented draft of state strategy for Energy Development of Russia until 2035.”

I wish I had known you when you were at the top of your game. It is obvious, at some point, you garnered some respect in this forum. It pains me to see you reduced to Matt Groening memes, pathetic insults and personal attacks.

https://www.statnews.com/2020/04/17/influential-covid-19-model-uses-flawed-methods-shouldnt-guide-policies-critics-say/ "A widely followed model for projecting Covid-19 deaths in the U.S. is producing results that have been bouncing up and down like an unpredictable fever, and now epidemiologists are criticizing it as flawed and misleading for both the public and policy makers. In particular, they warn against relying on it as the basis for government decision-making, including on “re-opening America.” “It’s not a model that most of us in the infectious disease epidemiology field think is well suited” to projecting Covid-19 deaths, epidemiologist Marc Lipsitch of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health told reporters this week" Harvard is a bastion of science deniers?

Oh! I'm sorry, did I miss the implementation of the Green New Deal? Or is it only alive in your imagination? https://southpark.cc.com/clips/163661/imagination-flying-machine Replace "imagination flying machine" with "imagination climate machine"

I would go with dead horse, since it is an argument I have been winning for the past year. It is time for you to cry "uncle" and move on.

Yes, and we will continue to do so for the rest of our lives. (And that is going to be OK) "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference"

The source I cited uses the Hawaii station measurements

It doesn’t matter what we think, China will do what China does. (Same goes for India) BTW CO2 levels are higher today, when global economies are in shutdown, than they were a year ago when things were going gang busters. It all illustrates how futile this GND fantasy is.

https://asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/Caixin/China-fires-up-coal-power-plant-construction “China approved nearly 10 gigawatts of new coal-fired power generation projects in the first quarter, roughly equal to the amount approved for all of last year, amid a broader scramble to jump-start an economy hobbled by the COVID-19 epidemic.” To put that into perspective, that is about one fifth of ALL of the solar power in the US.

I actually took wet-bulb temps during summer training in GA & FL. I didn’t just read about it. -

Somebody needs to tell the 2.5 million folks currently living in the Sahara -
You can’t possibly believe that.
