The money being spent to prevent serious climate change is peanuts compared to the money being made by the fossil-fuel industry.

All we can do is put the facts out there, but it's an uphill fight. Clearly, those powers that be already own working climatologists, have the support of the administration, have a knowingly or unwittingly complicit media, and the support millions of lemmings who think everything on the internet is true and can't add 1+1 for themselves. Not to mention America's enemies who would love to see us waste our resources tilting at the climate change windmill while they insidiously work to make us a third world nation. Someone posted above the future is bleak. He may be right, but not for the reason he thinks. |

Is it just me? Or does this entire "discussion" resemble a group of fleas expounding on how to control the dog?

Don't bother, here they are, check it if you like: Entire oil industry profit in 2022-----200 billion, which would be 10 trillion over 50 years Proposed spending to "combat" climate change---$100 TRILLION over next 50 years. Or 10x oil industry profit. Care to revise your post?????? What I'd like to know is just WHAT "they" plan to do with $100 trillion? Sell more EVs to those that think electricity just appears out of the ether? But you don't need money to sell something. Build more nuclear power plants??? Seems contrary to "their" agenda. Send a planetary distress signal to the starship Enterprise so we can borrow some matter-antimatter reactors???? Or better yet, just like the remake of "The Day the Earth Stood Still", abandon all technology and live like cavemen. But wait, we've been experiencing global warming for 20,000 years during which time we WERE cavemen. Bottom line, there is no current solution, just a scam to put mega dollars into the hands of the few. |

Our World in Data has slightly different numbers. Road transport (of which 60% is automobiles) accounts for 11% while residential use (cooking, lighting, heating, cooling) accounts for 11%. Not exactly "very small" or "biggest." Significantly, road transport is direct consumption of fossil fuels while a large amount (majority?) of residential use is electrical generation. Clean up the electrical generation and the residential use drops.

Exactly. But realize there is a small cabal of fleas with power and money that have very adeptly brainwashed many more lemming fleas into thinking they CAN control the dog.

Yes, a great deal of our "news," is just propaganda. It's up to us to be wise consumers (research and verify).

No, that's not right, it was 130,000 then and 198,000 now. Though you have to wonder how it was possible to accurately count glaciers 100 years ago when some of the first satellites were not launched until just 50 years ago. Models get created, predictions are made, actual events don't match predicted events, and models are updated. That's the way science is supposed to work. It fails when people do their own research and decide that since they can "prove" one prediction failed then all of science is wrong and should be discarded.

According to the research climatologists have done or did you do your own research?
And besides, I'm just enjoying a whack-a-mole morning. Automobiles contribute very little but air conditioners contribute the majority. We have accurate counts of glaciers from the 1930s. But I'm bored with the "earth is in a cooling cycle" bunk so I'm not going to bother with that one.

True, but that is just a short term phenomenon. We are currently in a 50,000 year warming trend. Not every year will be warmer than the last, not every century or millennium will see temperature increases. We can't use 8 years of a small cooling trend to prove our point any more than the anthropomorphic global warming acolytes can use 3 weeks of high temps in Arizona to prove theirs. But nevertheless, they are trying, and the sad part is there are some weak minded fools that will believe it.

Let's see----20 years of so-called climatologists shouting "global warming" ( the same climatologists who were touting "global freezing" 50 years ago) vs 4 1/2 million years of climate cycles, data gleaned from ice cores and geological strata. I'll go with the historical record. |
