Friendly reminder to look at where China is on those charts while we continue self flagellation.

I donāt live in China, and I never made an argument that China shouldnāt curb their GHGs. This is the common conservative gotcha argument which is akin to ābut so and so is doing it.ā
Lolā¦ bets on how quickly this thread is gonna get 404ed now that weāre slinging politics. 30 minutes?
Conclusion: Launch a couple of hundred MIRV nukes to depopulate China and India. Problem solved.
This thread is like Old Manās War and Termination Shock rolled into one.

It started off fun enough. Then peeps got all serious about being finite creatures and whoās to blame for finite creature problems.
100% not āwhataboutism.ā Seriously take a look at GHG emissions over time, both by amount and trajectory. Nothing can be done without China making enormous changes or agreeing to some form of framework. The US has actually done quite a bit to at least plateau things, but we still beat ourselves up over things daily while China is out there burning coal like itās going out of style.

Ironically - it is.
Iām well aware of what the emissions are, Iāve read the literature very closely. Iām also aware that U.S. policy doesnāt generally dictate what China does or doesnāt do in relationship to their emissions.
The U.S doesnāt do NEAR enough on their end, so until the U.S. actually takes energy policy seriously I can and will criticize it. If you want specific examples I can list them.

You are confusing my argument as saying that the US can do whatever it wants until China plays ball.
What is the total emissions we need to get down to by 2030? In billions of tons of CO2.
Use logic.
Most of this planet's heat comes from the sun. Fluctuations in Solar activity affect weather and climate. Meteorology 101.
Just because a game developer is trained and paid to develop video games, doesnāt mean theyāre any good at it. Just because a scientist is trained and paid to do scientific research doesnāt mean theyāre any good at it. Bunk scientists produce bunk science. When it comes to climate change (or whatever other flavorful terminology is being used to describe it), there are credentialed scientists on both sides of the argument.
Suggesting that solar cycles donāt affect temperature is like suggesting that the earth is flat. Are there āscientific studiesā to āproveā that the earth is flat? Yep, you betcha.
Use logic.
It is bunk science, the author of the original study literally retracted his work lmfao. Go read the article.
please link modern day study that suggests this.

This is not a concern when Superman can just fly around the world really fast in reverse and putting everything back to normal. Not even a nuclear explosion on the san andreas faultline will disrupt our way of life. Fact.

itās in the climate, which takes into account weather in places that arenāt just where you live
Do you happen to have his phone number by chance? I have a neighborhood kitten up in a tree and my extension ladder is not tall enough. My fire department is too busy/understaffed AND I donāt have a trailer to haul a trampoline home with if the kitteh decides to jump.
I am kidding. There are no cats in danger at the time of this post.
The funny thing about flat earthers is that the ancient Greeks accurately calculated the circumference of the Earth over 2,000 years ago.
But math is hard for people.

It is not hard, it is biased. That is why you watch Fox News and other reliable sources not the propaganda channels/programs.

Egyptians too. Itās ironic to me because there seems to be an overlap in people who believe the pyramids were built by aliens, but they canāt conceive they knew about the Earthās circumference.
