'I Feel Duped on Climate Change'

[iatrogenic]

The middle ground between what I consider fairly reasonable climate people on this board and some of you is like freakin' Mongolia. I'm expecting to read at some point here that if we can ramp up some oil production from the tar sands and stop all of this wind/solar crap that only ******* want to use then we can really get this climate cooking with gas and warm things up for the whole world!

That is because your subjective values differ from others' subjective values, and because your basis for man made global warming is built on unverified and often fraudulent science.

You, like most Democrats, think in categorical terms, which is simple minded. You fail to examine, or even acknowledge in many cases, the benefits from using coal. As Deez pointed out, coal fired electric generating plants, which power 30%-40% of the U.S., are a lower cost choice of energy for the end user. This improves individuals standard of living. It is estimated that coal supports over 1 million jobs in the U.S. Coal supports not only coal miners, but employess in transportation, equipment manufacturing, construction and electric power plants.

Maybe the vast majority of the population is okay with a slight rise in temperature (assuming that it is man made) given all of the other benefits of coal, tar sands, or other hydrocarbons. Maybe the subjective values of millions of people differ from your subjective values.

Above all else, it seems that about half of the population is sick and tired of the constant haranguing from Democrats about their sole ability to determine what is problematic for "society", and the need for Democrats to substitute themselves into the place of the individual when it comes to making decisions.

The Democrats had eight years to show how well their ideas worked. The most significant domestic results of that experiment involving the centralization of decision making authority seem to be another failed entitlement program (Obamacare), an increase in racial divisiveness but no change in income levels for minorities, anatomical males being able to access bathrooms and locker rooms formerly reserved for little girls and women, the slowest economic growth in history thanks to quantitative easing and over regulation, and a government boldly breaking laws when it comes to spying on its own citizens.

So, what is the right temperature, Mr. Smarttpants?

Hell, I don't know. But, to see someone actually argue that helping warm up the earth is a good thing is kind of funny. It's like UT is smack dab in the middle of oil country or something...

My stance is that the science may not be settled. But, to ignore the science and the potential for harm that we're causing is foolish. Seems like a fairly reasonable stance as compared to the poles split between Al Gore and Scott Pruitt.

No one is suggesting that we "ignore science". What is being suggested is that we ignore false prophets, and examine their motivation.

And there's no reason to distrust the team that's making all the money off of the fossil fuels, because we know how quick they are to acknowledge their failures and clean up their own messes. We know they've never adopted illegal bribery practices to make a few more bucks, we know they've never denied responsibility. Heck we know that corporations always do the right thing because the MARKET makes them.

Come on, you may be able to disagree with the exact volume of scientists that have backed the CC science (most claims are in the high 90's) but it is certainly a substantial majority. And while the academia may be predisposed to big government programs...you are essentially claiming that almost the entire scientific community has colluded to tout CC....so that they can maybe get a grant in the future????

Let's see. let's follow the money, as so many are fond of saying. I can either believe a huge swath of academia, of whom precious few will ever receive ANY benefit for making the CC claim, or I can believe the fossil fuel industry and the handful of scientists they've sponsored for "unbiased science".

Fraud committed by the oil and tobacco industries does not legitimize fraud committed by climate change "scientists".

 

[Seattle Husker]

Fraud committed by the oil and tobacco industries does not legitimize fraud committed by climate change "scientists".

And fraud by a handful of CC scientists do not invalidate the voluminous data and scientists that support climate change nor does it validate the biased data from much of the fossil fuel industry.

 

[OUBubba]

True. And some things are immeasurable insofar as data points go. The Great Coral Reef in the process of going away as an example. It's not going to lead to Al Gore's glacier's in NYC but it has to have a significant impact.

Now if we could somehow distinguish between the "real" and the "fraudulent", you may have an argument. Just repeatedly stating that man made climate change "is real", and "90% of scientists agree", and "this is settled science" is not an argument supported by facts. It is a position. Just like the position that the hydrocarbon industry takes.

And a coral reef disappearing is no proof of your position. Why is it going away? Where is the empirical evidence showing that man made climate change is real and is causing the reef to disappear?

One of the problems liberals have created for themselves is the failure of their historical ideas and policies that were also based on fraudulent data and ideas. For example: Sex education reduces pregnancies; innovative educational methods are more effective; crime rates reflect social root causes; the gender pay gap and minorities suffering are due to racism, sexism, or prejudice; black people learn better in integrated schools; diversity of skin color is always a good thing.

Face this fact: Climate Scientists are no more or less biased than the oil and gas industry representatives. There may be disinterested observers somewhere, but those hawking the climate change mantra are far from disinterested. They benefit ideologically or monetarily. They want political power to back their ideas. Throughout history, elitists have been willing to sacrifice the freedom of others as long as they could achieve their religious or social goals.

It is supported by the preponderance of facts and scientists by all the available data. While you quibble over whether 90% or 80% of scientists agree, you're ignoring the fact the vast majority agree. Feel free to call it a position, but it's one supported by much more evidence than those who dismiss climate change. The paucity of evidence to support the opposing view and the fact that the majority of it is simply pointing out holes in the support of CC is why the false equivalence line of attack from the "dismissers" lacks credibility.

I don't hold the position that it is settled science but when I have to make decisions on events that I don't have perfect information or visibility on all the details, I go with the preponderance of my experts and the preponderance of the data. Particularly when one side of the equation could potentially lead to calamity. Better safe than sorry. And once again, I'm not advocating that we alter our energy structure wholesale. But we should keep a strong pursuit of renewables, we should keep from drilling in places we haven't already drilled, we should continue to push for higher economy standards. A wholesale shift in our energy policy could be economically painful, but none of the above does that. Our economy will sail along just fine even if we continue all of the above ecologically sound pursuits.

And by the way, the American economy and capitalism have also proven themselves to be quite resilient. I believe someone remarked about how the earth was resilient and we shouldn't worry ourselves about it. I have a great deal of faith that all we are doing by adopting new energy policies is making a different energy market, which some smart person will step into and make a mint. Just the way our economy is designed to work. American doesn't loose in that equation....Only the fossil fuel faction. which coincidentally is the group saying "these are not the droids you're looking for". Hmmmm??

Interesting media coverage from today's Statesman:
http://weather.blog.statesman.com/2017/05/09/how-good-is-the-u-s-drought-monitors-news-for-texas/

"Less than 5 percent of the country is experiencing drought, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. That is the lowest percentage since the drought monitor began issuing weekly updates, according to an interesting post from the Climate Central web site. (Which also warns this picture could be caused in part by a more extreme wet-dry cycle caused by global climate change.)"

The parenthetical information in bold is the interesting statement. They cannot let any type of news pass by, whether (no pun intended) it is extreme, normal, welcome or unwelcome weather patterns...

Your experts? Al Gore? Bill Nye? James Hanson? Michael Mann? Hanson proclaimed in 2006 that mankind only had 10 years to reverse global warming to avert calamity. So I guess we're already screwed. Michael Mann has data. But he decided to edit his data to "hide the decline" in temperature. For a real expert, consider reading some of Dr. Roy Spencer's books. Spencer is a recognized climate scientist at NASA and was widely heralded as an expert until he revealed himself as a skeptic. But he might be able to reduce your anxiety.

 

[4th_floor]

I didn't address Al Gore or Bill Nye because neither have any credentials regarding climate science. You probably know more than either of these celebrity bozos.

If any of that were true, you would have a strong position. However, you are just articulating the same rationale again without any supporting facts.

Lack of ready access to abortion is the primary cause of global warming, according to a new interview with radical feminist Gloria Steinem.
The founder of Ms. magazine had no trouble linking two of the emblematic leftist causes into one mega issue, arguing that lack of access to “reproductive health services” leads to overpopulation, which in turn causes the earth to warm uncontrollably.

Asked by Refinery29 whether climate change wasn’t also a “feminist” issues, Ms. Steinem ran with the question, connecting a series of invisible dots into a diatribe against the evils of patriarchy.

“Are you kidding me? Listen, what causes climate deprivation is population. If we had not been systematically forcing women to have children they don’t want or can’t care for over the 500 years of patriarchy, we wouldn’t have the climate problems that we have. That’s the fundamental cause of climate change,” she said.

“Even if the Vatican doesn’t tell us that,” she added.

I didn't want a second child. My ex badgered me about it for several years before I gave in. She was obsessed with not having an only child; I was obsessed with the fact that our marriage was failing. So she wore me down. We had a beautiful daughter and our marriage ended.

Very sad but my daughter is such a blessing.

I don't know how Gloria has the nerve to act like women have been forcefully raped by their husbands all these years. I guess that is her take on it. It's not mine at least not in my experience. It seems every woman I meet has to be freakin' handed a crown and a coach made from a pumpkin along with a copy of my financial statement and a pledge to honor their list of demands for a fulfilling life just to get them to go out on a date.
