    Nancy.. please tell us when have we ever been able to control the weather?

    The weather is controlled by MANY variables.. solar activity, air pressure, water presence, elevation, jet streams etc.

    The best we can do is adapt to changes as they occur, as we have been doing for centuries.

    .

    Now please make some cookies for Frank. ;)

    Climate Change is all too real, but sure, let’s keep denying it as a “liberal hoax” because of all these rightwing morons who know absolutely nothing about science keep saying so, and apparently, their word is the Gospel.

    Seriously, what more proof do you need? For the past fifteen years, spring continually arrives earlier and earlier (I’ve seen foliage turn green as early as January), and summer lasts longer and longer, while fall and winter continue to diminish year after year; I still have PTSD over the infamous Blowtorch Christmas of 2015, when nearly the entire month was springlike in the 60s and 70s . . . worst Christmas ever. The summer of 2019 was even worse; the temps didn’t drop below 90s until after the first week of October even our local meteorologists (who love the warm weather) were saying this wasn’t normal . . . and it wasn’t.

    And I’m so supremely tired of it all . . . September, December, and February are my favorite months of the year, and in the last fifteen or so years, we’ve maybe only have four normal Septembers (not consecutively, mind you), and I honestly cannot remember the last time it stayed below 60 degrees in December or February.

    But again . . . for some reason, it’s the politicians who somehow have the final say in how we treat the planet, and according to them, all of this is a hoax . . . then again, according to them, everything is a hoax. How are these idiots in charge of our country?

    You have made some very good points, and as Mrs. Degroot has demonstrated, the responsibility lies with us to do all that we can. You are missing one thing, however. People in poor countries don’t care about global warming because they are hungry. So when a big manufacturing company comes along and offers jobs, they are embraced with open arms. Vietnam and Thiland are current examples, and China created a middle class the same way we did, by having an industrial revolution. And you can bet that the Chinese government. which is burning tons of coal every minute, doesn’t give a lick about global warming. Still, I can’t fault your arguments or logic.

    Have any of you actually read the Kyoto Accord/Protocol? I have. IMO, it is a sneaky document that does a very good job of deceiving you that it is about saving the planet, when it really is about protecting the interests of global mulitnationals. It’s one of the reasons [third world country] can go on its merry way belching coal smoke.

    Climate change is real. Whether it’s man made or natural doesn’t matter so much as that things are changing. The summers are hotter, the winter’s milder. Glaciers are melting and 1oo year stories are turning into 500 years storms and are happening more frequently.

    When celebrities who say the oceans are rising and moving inland stop buying beachfront property I’ll listen. When the rich who are demanding I lower my carbon footprint stop gallivanting around on massive private yachts and private jets, I’ll listen. When those alarmist begin to take rational approaches rather than decrying the end is nigh only for their deadline to come and go with no change, I’ll listen. When activists use respectful and logical arguments rather than destroying property and threatening the livelihoods of people trying to feed their families, I’ll listen. But so long as the climate cult behaves as lying, hypocritical, criminal thugs I see THEM as far more of a threat and do everything I can to fight them and their rhetoric.

    During the summer, I do not use the oven, especially when running the A/C. During the winter months I try to use the oven as often as I can so I can give our furnace a break. Smarter use of electric and gas consumption helps our environment. What Nancy is doing is totally inconsequential to global warming and is nothing more than “virtue signaling”.

    Women tend to make the holidays. We cook the special stuff, buy/wrap the gifts, do most of the decorations, clean it all up and get ready for the next extravaganza. Ok, guys sometimes help with putting up lights, but not always. If Frank wants cookies, he’s capable of making a few batches himself (and properly cleaning up afterward to leave the kitchen as he found it).

    “In 2021, Krista Myers led a paper which surveyed 2780 Earth scientists. Depending on expertise, between 91% (all scientists) to 100% (climate scientists with high levels of expertise, 20+ papers published) agreed human activity is causing climate change. Among the total group of climate scientists, 98.7% agreed.”

    The number of people saying “the climate has always changed” really are missing the point. Yes, the climate has always changed due to multiple reasons but always S-L-O-W-L-Y. What we are seeing now is not that. The current warming is dramatically faster than ever before. The climate changing by 1 degree over thousands of years is not the same as 1 degree of change over about 50-150 years (depending when you are measuring from) are not the same thing. The rate of increase matter a lot. Life on Earth can more easily adapt to a gradual change, but the same is not true of a sudden change (sudden on an evolutionary timescale). The RATE of warming can’t be ignored, and he truth is, human activity is the only explanation for the accelerated warming that the climate is seeing now.

    ‘Tis totally untrue that nothing is being done. Solar, wind and battery costs are all down 99% over the last 20 years, more or less. New solar panels, wholesale on a large scale, are down to $0.20/W. 25 years ago, they were more or less $100/W. Electricity from solar and wind plants with batteries is now cheaper, in many locations, than new natural gas electricity, which in turn is cheaper than coal. Coal plants that are on the books to be built either won’t be built, or will only be built in special circumstances, not because of a conspiracy against coal, but because of economics.

    Petroleum oil and coal and gas replaced whale oil and trees. Solar and wind and batteries and other interesting storage technologies are replacing oil and gas and coal. It’s just been so long that people have forgotten this is possible.

    Twenty years ago, there were no electric cars. They’re up to 80% market share in Norway. The US, with its low gasoline prices and expectations of long-distance driving, is an outlier and is slow in electric car adoption. Electric cars are so much more efficient than gasoline cars that one could have a wholly coal-powered grid (such does not exist) and still reduce CO2 by using electric cars. Electric car costs are falling. At around $4.50/gallon and $0.13/kWh, electric cars reach parity with gasoline cars over a ten-year life. Those numbers are realistic in a lot of markets, globally, but not the southeastern US.

    A very broad range of efficient technologies, from LED lights to well-insulated refrigerators to heat pumps, have gone from lab curiosities to commercially available at reasonable prices.

    And there is more, and there will be more yet, and costs will fall further. Hundreds of thousands of people are working on this, and we aren’t doing nothing.
