Climate Change? Nahhh ...

If you think Greta Thunberg is fronting the climate equivalent of the “taxation is theft” strategy, then she’s a pawn. Then I’d have to think you also believe that at least some of scientific research is trumped up for effect. Then it’s not a religion but something pretty damn cynical.

 

It's not that people want to live like that, it's that they realize unless changes are made we will have to live like that.

 

World on brink of five ‘disastrous’ climate tipping points, study finds

Dr David Armstrong McKay at the University of Exeter, a lead author of the study, said: “It’s really worrying. There are grounds for grief, but there are also still grounds for hope.

“The study really underpins why the Paris agreement goal of 1.5C is so important and must be fought for.

“We’re not saying that, because we’re probably going to hit some tipping points, everything is lost and it’s game over. Every fraction of a degree that we stop beyond 1.5C reduces the likelihood of hitting more tipping points.”

 

My spreadsheet from last year shows me as having spent $67 on clothes last year.

 

I’d calling it erring on the side of survival.

There are so many unknowns when you fuck with the climate of a planet.

The right has used that uncertainty to stall for 30 years.

I don’t ride the center line. I’ll probably live, but there is also a good chance a lane and a half corn harvester is over that hill in October.

 

I love how he set up his argument. If you believe this, therefore you must believe this and this, including climate science lies.

 

Very similar to the debate over macroevolution waged in their culture wars over the last 40 years, too.

Certain things are unknowable, so you can’t know anything.

 

Because we're this close to a climate armageddon, all options have to be on the table.

Sweden rejects pioneering test of solar geoengineering tech

No, not that!

 

If we dim the sun, won't that greatly restrict our ability to rely on solar energy?
I'm sure there's some convoluted way that less sun actually equals more sun in climate change world. Like the people getting that $100 to $200 million doing their research in Tahiti or Ibiza.
