There are many universities and such looking for solutions though.

I read the books and also listen to Freakonomics podcasts. There was one about how calling it Climate Change has hurt the cause. That name has turned into a buzzword for division.

The Freakonomics guys wondered why they didn’t just call it pollution. Everybody understands that.

When there are major disagreements among the most esteemed professionals on highly technical issues such as Covid and Global Warming, there is one litmus test the works every time.

The side that has to resort to intimidation, destroying careers, squelching the dissemination of opposing views on social media and vilification of those who disagree are wrong because they are unable to make a compelling case based on time tested scientific protocols.

Everybody has their opinion on this, mine is, there were 130 glaziers in 1890 & 130 years later there’s still 130 glaziers. The only way they’re so-called climate change can be fixed is if one country gets the whole world to go along with them, 1 country can’t fix it. Beside Mother Nature can’t be paid. Climate change goes thru these changes every 100 years. So if nobody believes my theory that’s OK because Al Gore made hundreds of millions trying to fix Climate Warming & guess what they still think our ice caps are still melting & oceans are rising. I’m not here to argue just telling you what I think!

Just like Al Gore and all the "scientists" who predicted a catastrophic sea rise...BUNK.

Don't these people remember the old tale " The sky is falling, the sky is falling."

They all have an agenda, and it is not for the good of all.

Nikola Tesla had all the technolgy needed to live in a healthy world. People had more respect for jp morgan & g.e. who hid all his work.

Excellent speech. Konstantin Kisin is speaking the truth. Sadly, speaking the Truth is now called hate speech.

Don't believe everything that is on so called climate change.

China
 
Is China, the Worlds second largest economy and home to the most billionaires, still considered a poor developing country?

What you arte not saying.

They are doing that. Working on cheap solutions along with many others.

But, what you are not saying, or admitting to, is that they (climate scary people) are TEARING DOWN existing energy sources BEFORE the new technologies are available. Ruining our (US) economy and lifestyles while China, India, Central American make NO CHANGES to their responsible and larger impacts, is ludicrous. Electric Cars are a joke - batteries are worse for the planet than fossil fuels. etc. etc. Develop real energey solutions, not solar/wind where the elites are skimming billions of dollars.

Yes it is because the majority of people live a life of poverty and starvation while the top persons of the CCP are fat and happy. This is what you get with communism/socialism.

My view. Climate change, like it or not we are all forced to listen to the endless chatter. I do not share the same view as most. I've actually taken tests. In terms of seeing relationships, I am in the 99.9999999 percentile. I am also in the roughly 5% of people who cannot be hypnotized.
Truth it is sometimes frustrating and I need to remind myself they are truly blind to it.

The words are changing. It was GLOBAL WARMING and is now CLIMATE CHANGE. Shocking perhaps to some. Roughly 45-50 years ago the concern was global COOLING. Lacking was Al Gore to make a personal fortune causing a global panic. What does Al Gore do? He has a huge home, burns fuel like crazy to tell others they should, they must............. Global Warming is now Climate Change. REALITY, climate has always been and always will be changing.
I recall a class trip to the NY Museum of natural history. On display they had a huge cross section of an ancient redwood. On the rings they had marked events in history. They also showed different rates of growth due to weather differences over the years.

Truth, I do the best I can. The US has dramatically reduced our CO2 production. We have also shipped our manufacturing overseas.

People dare not see reality. Each person produces pollution, CO2, or whatever people scream is the cause of climate change. Actually mans cause of climate change-if that is reality. The US our population was 180 million people it is now 350 million.
China, actually tried to limit population growth but could not.

Far as universities. Al Gore, king of global warming PANIC. Al's professor stated they had a grant to prove global warming. Had they not found global warming the grant would dry up so they tweaked the numbers. I can honestly SCREAM my CO2 is way down. That would be true. OOPs I am retired and no longer producing anything.

A lot of climate change experts claim that it is an "existential threat."

Why do some people call climate change an “existential threat”? | MIT Climate Portal

“There is a genuine possibility that within the coming century, we will hit temperatures that are deeply incompatible with the continued existence of human life."

If the experts truly thought that climate change would cause the end of human life, I wouldn't think that they would fly around the world in private jets to attend climate change conferences.

Even if I thought that the modern world - gas cars, gas furnaces, air conditioning - would kill everyone, I am not sure that most people would want to go back to a 19th century life style.

The moment I read the title I mentally tuned out. Personally I get angst and anger and agitated when thinking about this never-ending money pit for Special Interests. I’d better stop before…..
