I hauled hay from before sunrise until after sunset in N Central Texas through the entire summer of 1980. That summer there were more consecutive 100 degree days ever recorded. 3 years prior we had a major ice storm on Halloween. Climate changes.

To think that man has any control over climate is an abomination to God and is an affront to any sane human being.

POTD

Man may not have control but it's absolutely ludicrous to think we don't have an impact. We can argue about the extent of that impact and what we can or cannot realistically do to mitigate that impact.

Does anybody think it was good for the environment overall, let alone the people inhabiting it, to return to the days of the Industrial Revolution where coal plants just belched forth clouds of black smoke to such an extent it turned white stone buildings in London gray? Or caused moths to adapt their coloration? And certainly not the unregulated dumping of all manner of waste into our waterways?

I don't remotely buy into all this green revolution nonsense and any person who rails against climate change and clean energy without being on board with nuclear power is fundamentally unserious. And the extent that the USA, Canada, and the UK/EU countries can impact anything without reining in China, India, and the emerging economies in South America and Sub-Saharan Africa is minimal- without addressing what's going on in these other parts of the world there's not much the USA can do to impact global emissions.

But the idea that we can't do better about limiting pollution or utilizing regenerative agriculture to mitigate our impacts is just lazy.

PoLlutIoN is bad. We all agree. Less is better.

It ain't changing the world's climate. God does that
Money & power is driving this climate change drivel. Fossil fuel industry is relatively established so the money distribution has mostly been established. The green stuff not so much. Lots of "new players" in the green stuff getting filthy rich.

Sorry, but that's an asinine claim that only God can change the climate.

The climate is 100% impacted by environmental inputs and mankind is part of those inputs. Especially on a regionalized basis. One can debate how much human activity impacts that change and how much is feasible to reduce that impact but it human activity does cause an impact.

It makes me laugh that none of them can come to a consensus on the magnitude, timeline, or implication of climate change, but they're damn sure that this particular thing is causing 22% of it

The less educated they are about ecology, biology, botany, biochemistry, agriculture and meteorology, the more certain they are of their numbers.

I'm a Christian, but it is ridiculous to think we can't impact the Earth on a large scale & flies in the face of available evidence.
What is debatable is how much of the climate change we are driving & if it is a bad thing. (Our Fossil fuels could be keeping the planet from experiencing another Ice Age)

Money & power are exploiting climate change to enrich themselves, 100% Agree.
Climate change can be real as well, the two facts are not mutually exclusive.
Another problem is scientists get grant money for finding examples of Climate Change from our beloved Government officials who are profiteering on the side through business dealings in Green Energy.

Highly recommend the book "Apocalypse Never" about Climate Change. A realistic approach that is neither head in the sand denial or chicken little in terror about the matter.

Nope, that's weather.

Was that on one of the tablets that Moses dropped? I don't remember that being in the Bible.

This times 1000%.

Then there is the ecological damage and loss of beautiful, wild places caused by human progress. Like the pics in this IG feed about the loss of these shoals, waterfalls, and extirpation of wildlife caused by the damming of rivers in the South (this feed focused on Alabama) in the early-20th century.

https://instagr.am/p/CsounrNpM9K

On balance though, the damming of these rivers and hydroelectric plants created by these dams (not to mention in the rest of the South, particularly parts covered by the TVA) electrified the South and lifted millions out of poverty while supporting incalculable economic growth both directly and indirectly. Was that economic growth worth the loss of such places? That's beyond me to decide but there's a balance which must be found.

Well, I don't know what God is doing or how he feels about it but I agree with you. It's pretty short sighted to think we have no impact. I guess if you believe Jesus is coming back next year, then sure, not probably an impactful issue we need to concern ourselves with.

I think people don't have a full understanding of just how many people there are. If I put 5 goldfish in one of my 5 acre stock tank, we can agree that the impact, while existent, it negligible. If I put 250,000 goldfish in it, then it's pretty obtuse to think that the impact is still not something to accept.

I can't, at this point, express the actual impact of humanity and our pollution but I can say that I've watched tens of thousands of perfectly good land get raped and pillaged in order to put concrete and bull**** on. No one thought that was a big deal until they were sitting at home with 6' of water in their house from harvey. So, I dunno. Maybe the impacts aren't such that we really understand them until it's too late.

It's a bit unintelligent to think climate change is not a thing. I also think it's a bit overzealous to think we understand our impact and need to convert to electric vehicles by next week so we can change it.

Maybe we just do what's reasonable to reduce our environmental impact and go with it.

It is literally holodomor 2.0. Forced, mass, starvation.

Every bit as evil and nefarious as Stalin and the Bolsheviks.

This. The leftists have never been afraid to use mass murder to achieve their goals, starvation is just a tool. Now they are debuting social credit systems to identify who the true believers are so they know who not to starve. There is a reason they want to know all about you.

Well seeing as how,

the population of the planet is growing rapidly,

available land for food production is shrinking,

and, crops grow better in warmer climates at higher CO2 concentrations...


We need to do more to warm the climate.

So I am going to start selling carbon offset, offsets.

Every time a libtard buys a carbon offset, I will slow smoke a brisket over oak wood. I will break out a grass field and plant corn, and I will take an unnecessary trip in a heavy duty truck. Gotta get that CO2 up there in the atmosphere so our crops grow better, so we can feed the world.

I'm not interested in starving people like the climate cult is.
