I damned sure hope so
Trump’s second term will devastate the US climate agenda
One of the best things about America is that everyone is entitled to their own opinions. However, what happens when an incoming leader has an opinion so ill-informed that it threatens national security, economic stability, millions of new jobs, public health and the safety of virtually every American?
We’re about to find out, because voters have elected Donald Trump as the next president.
How dare you stupid voters ignore your betters!
Five months ago, 78 percent of Americans polled by the University of Chicago said climate change is real, including 62 percent of Republicans. More than eight in 10 said they had experienced an extreme climate event. Of those, 68 percent said it was an important issue in the election, and 53 percent wanted the next president to reduce global warming emissions.
But by Nov. 5, those priorities had been eclipsed by other issues — perhaps the worry that Haitian migrants were eating family pets in Ohio.
Now, the man about to take charge of the world’s biggest carbon-fuel producer and second-biggest source of carbon emissions thinks climate change is a “hoax” and climate scientists are “alarmists.”
It’s easy to say you care in theory (of course, I say that climate change, really, global warming is happening, just not that it is mostly/solely caused by Mankind), but, in practice that care dies when stacked against real issues.
If people want to do something, as I always say, let them do something in their own lives, rather than getting government to force compliance. I’ve delved into this so many times I don’t feel like repeating myself. Go spend your own money on climate cult stuff. Oh, and this opinion piece was by “William S. Becker is executive director of the Presidential Climate Action Project and a former senior official at the U.S. Department of Energy.” So, he has a vested interest in keeping the government spending money and forcing citizens to comply.

Of course it’s real. Everyone knows that.
But the question is wrong. It should be…
Given that the climate has been changing since day 1, do you believe that man kind is causing it, and if you do, do you think we need to fight the change by giving up automobiles, cows and heating our homes with petroleum products?
There’s nothing wrong with being in the minority. About half of Americans understand that the Earth is warming causeing by human activity. About a quarter believe that that it is warming from natural variations. Some 15% deny that the Earth is warming.
It’s very unlikely at this point that the minority is correct.
Anyway, the answer is to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere. The minority and the deniers object strongly to potential solutions so they object to the premise.
What do you suggest?
More assertions without evidence. How shocking…
And this is for Chicken Little Hamas Karen Man

And this is for the risible old sucker:
This doen’t prove that Plimer’s ‘scientific conclusions’ are biased, but we can admit it’s suspicious.
Without supporting evidence, Plimer posits the movement of tectonic plates is releasing heat from the Earth’s core, expaining El Nino.
Without evidence, he suggests cycles (Milankovitch) of the Earth orbit’s eccentricity (199,000 yr cycle), wobble (26,000 cycle) and tilt (41,000 yr cycle) and solar (11 yr cycle) strength determine climate. It’s all so complicate how can mere humans understand??
Plimer claims, falsely, that volcanoes release more CO2 than human activity!
Man-made global warming deniers dislike the implications of solutions and they’ll all be dead by the worst of it, anyway. Let the kids handle it.
Question of the day:
We all die. Just like we did when Trump was president the first time around.
The Democrats mostly soft-peddled their
global warmingclimate change fighting ideas, because they knew that they were vote losers, not vote gainers. The public would love fightingglobal warmingclimate change, as long as it didn’t cost them any money or interfere with how they want to live their lives.“[T]he contribution of CO2 to the greenhouse effect is 4% – 5%. Human CO2 emissions represent 4% of the total, which means that the total human contribution to the enhancement of the greenhouse effect is 0.16% to 0.20% – a negligible effect.” – Dr. Demetris Koutsoyiannis (2024)

That is incorrect. CO2 is responsible for about 70& of the greenhouse effect. Methane and nitrous oxide also contribute.
That is incorrect. The baseline CO2 was 280 ppm and is now 420 ppm. Isotope analyses show that the increase is from burning fossil fuels.
That is what is called a lie.
That is what is called “stupid”.
Rimjob has always had a problem with math.
Bwaha! Lolgf!

“when they are burned and released into the atmosphere,
the overall 14C concentration decreases,
indicating a fossil fuel source.”
Hmmm, The baseline CO2 was 280 ppm and is now 420 ppm.
So let me understand. The overall amount of CO2 has gone up 50% yet the amount of the 14C isotope has not also increased. Did it just disappear??
Can you tell us what caused this decrease in the quantity?

That doesn’t make sense.
Dumb old man,
WTF is wrong with you?
No one mentioned 14C, did they? 14C is the unstable (radioactive) isotope with a half-life of 5730 years. 12C and 13C are stable isotopes.

Actually, a paper put out only a few days ago shows CO2’s total effect is only 4-5%, with water vapor being 87-95%.
Because the human contribution is only 3-4% of the total, that puts CO2 effect at only .016 to .20% of the total, according to the paper.

But Rimjob claims Koutsoyiannis is wrong.
Imagine that!

Wrong paper, dipshit.
Bwaha! Lolgfy loser!
The MAGA Motherfucker is WRONG again!!
Read it and we can discuss.
No need to discuss anything with a loser like Rimjob who only sees what he wants to see.
Bwaha! Lolgfy loser!
MAGA47 Motherfucker
The MAGA Motherfucker wants a discussion but never discusses anything!! No need to discuss anything with the loser Pissant who makes up scheisse. LOL.
Jeff,
I read the article. It is an opinion piece and not a study. The it is nonsense.
Porter,
The original article was an opinion piece, dumbo. Mr ‘Net Isotopic Signature of Atmospheric CO2 Sources and Sinks: No Change Since the Little Ice Age. Sci 2024′, used the data of others to recalculate using a new set of assumptions.
It was published in the open access journal Sci with an Impact Factor (IF) of 2-3, which suffers when compared to other general science journals such as Nature or Science with IFs of 30-40. Bigger is better!

Who mentioned 14C?
Read the link, potty mouth. “.. Isotope analyses…..Carbon-14C….”
I repeat. “Hmmm, The baseline CO2 was 280 ppm and is now 420 ppm.
So let me understand. The overall amount of CO2 has gone up 50% yet the amount of the 14C isotope has not also increased. Did it just disappear??”
Can you tell us what caused this decrease in the quantity?”
Lightfoot, Mamer 2014 say almost the exact same thing
We see your confusion. Yes, water vapor is a significant greenhouse gas, much more potent than even CO2! But remember that water vapor is highly variable, what with precipitation and all. What determines the amount of water vapor? The temperature. The increase in temperature is caused by the increase in CO2 from human activities.
Clouds, Rimjob, CLOUDS!!!
Don’t discount their importance in your fantasy world.
Bwaha! Lolgfy loser!
MAGA Motherfucker!
Funny-I have absolutely no confusion. I’m not the one who said CO2 is responsible for 70% of the ghe.
“The increase in temp is caused by increase of CO2”. Good-now find verifiable evidence of that .
