I'm not skeptical because I "lack the understanding of the science". I'm skeptical because the last 20 years of climate projects have been laughably fucking wrong. (Don't even get me started on John Kerry and Leonardo DiCaprio jet-setting around the world while warning about the dangers of CO2 emissions). If you want people to take this issue seriously, start with explaining how/why prior estimates were so off base, and before you ask people to cut back on meat consumption, maybe our "climate czar" can sell his goddamn yacht?
One other key point - When measured by consumption, Western nations really haven't cut back on their Carbon output. They've just outsourced it all to China. Any climate resolution that doesn't address China isn't worth the paper it's printed on.
Thank you. Save me some time saying what I was going to just type.
I do t think it has as much to do with being skeptical of scientist as much as it does being skeptical of the politicians that have are screaming it the loudest but don’t follow their own lead.
Turn off your AC, don’t charge your car, buy an electric lawnmower, etc etc etc all the while the people shouting it fly around the world on private jets while living in mansions and vacationing on yachts.
But my lawnmower.
It also has to do with their very rigid solutions. For example, they are hell bent on this push for electric. Ok. But electricity doesn’t create itself. Something to create it. Further, has anyone done a deep study of how much rare earth minerals it will take to put everyone in an electric car??
What is the impact to the earth & climate mining for all of those rare earth minerals vs using more abundant and clean burning natural gas??
Their solutions are flimsy, self serving, and dangerous.
That is where the issue lies. Not with climate change but with the hypocrites pushing forth their soul ruin that doesn’t take into account all means available.
It’s crap like that garbage legislation that was the “green new deal” written by top nitwits like AOC and Bernie Sanders. These are the people we are going to follow? Really?
Two idiots that have never been in charge of anything. Two idiots who’s garbage bill was so bad it wasn’t out to a vote in Congress.
But they got around that. Once they got control they just chopped up the bill and crammed it down our throats via garbage legislation of other names.
Like the ummmm, multi-trillion dollar “Inflation Reduction Act” that does virtually nothing to quell inflation now and instead is really just climate legislation in disguise.
Crap in there like $60 billion for “climate equity” WTF even is that and how to you quantify it?
They are stealing from us and future generations in the name of a “climate emergency”
AOC wrote much of that green new deal garbage. Wasn’t she the one who said the world will end in like 12 years if we do t act now? It was it nine years?
Either way the clock is ticking isn’t it?
And we are supposed to trust these fools??? How can we?
If this “emergency” is as dire as they make it sound Kerry would be conduction his meetings via Zoom instead of trotting the globe in his PRIVATE JET.
Kind of like Covid. Where your mask or we will all die while those shouting it the loudest run off without their mask on…
And about CA let me ask you, fixing climate change is a multi-decade thing. No matter how much action is taken right now it isn’t going to prevent the next wildfire. So ummm, maybe get off your asses and do some serious forest management and maybe build a new damn or two which hasn’t been done in decades.
How bad for the environment is all the smoke from these fires?
Problem isn’t the scientist Lit, it’s the bad policy coming from the left that isn’t based on science.
And let’s be real, they only “follow the science” to the degree it’s suits them. Once it doesn’t they ignore the science.
