Climate Change? Nahhh ...

Sure.

But the science postulating atmospheric problems from CO2 and particulate pollution begins in the mid-19th century.

History of the greenhouse effect and global warming

Back then we were talking not only about a 'greenhouse effect,' but how CO2 and particulate pollution might bring about global cooling. Here's an example from 1976: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.193.4252.447

Our understanding of the interconnectedness of these things has often been imperfect. But we've understood for a long time that our human inputs have a real world consequence, whether we're talking about acid rain, a hole in the Ozone Layer or global climate change.

 

Since we're talking about pollution . . .

Our children will never experience a childhood as cool as ours. And our childhood wasn’t that cool.

That’s one of the stark realities underlined by the latest report from the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Within that new report, a key graphic shows how the average global temperature has changed across generations — with each generation born into an ever-warmer world.

 

but the new nuclear . . .

 

If one wants this grand, immediate non-fossil fuel energy future - and nuclear isn’t a major part of the plan - then one is unserious or simply advocates large scale suffering.

The gap may not be bridged with nuclear. Without it? Forget it.

Again: If renewables alone could do the job, they’d be doing the job now because there are people making a ton of money off of renewables

 

Unserious is thinking we can somehow just plug in old-tech nuclear without addressing any of its well-known problems.

 

Simultaneously, advances in economic globalism - a key driver of climate change - have made the lives of tens of millions of children worldwide better than they ever would have been. So long as we want to drag childhoods into it.

 

It's a conundrum.

 

Why are we now measuring asteroids based on the size of odd animals?

 

An asteroid the size of 3,122 two-headed, black dildos will pass by Earth on Sunday.
