Trump hired Perry for the DOE for fuck's sake. Perry wanted to eliminate the DOE a few years ago. He had no idea what it did, but knew it funded research that could help put his oil buddies out of business one day.
Dan8267 saysHurricanes are heat engines. Do you deny this? Global warming has greatly increase the heat in the ocean. Do you deny that? Where do you think hurricanes get their energy from? It's from the ocean.
So, you're saying currently there is no warm ocean water in Asia and the Pacific and that's the reason there are no storms there now?

@Patrick, this is exactly why you need to bring back ban, or at least perma-ban Shrek and all his alts. He adds nothing to a conversation and only seeks to derail each thread. What possible value is there in tolerating this troll?

Sorry Dan, I don't believe this, just like I don't believe Siberia or the Canadian Shield will get colder.
So there you have it. It's not about the number of storms. That's irrelevant because lots of small storms don't do shit damage anyway. It's about the severity of the storms. That's why we've been getting multiple one-in-500-years storms.
Don't try to avoid answering my questions. Answer them first, then I'll answer your questions because I know you won't answer my questions otherwise.

@Dan8267 the current plan is to have non-me moderators for specific topics. The moderator and his deputies can decide who can post in that topic. Want to be a moderator for some topic?
Patrick, looks like new image posts are broken. It looks like a URL redirect problem.
For example,

gets mapped to

I think many people in Houston, New Orleans, and Miami would vote that they need more money for Civil Engineers than Climate Scientists at this point.
If you believe in free markets at all, then either all pollution should be banned since it's theft or all pollution should be taxed for the cleanup of said pollution so that production that pollutes isn't subsidized by production that doesn't. The free market solution is to either ban or fully tax and then let the market react to how much coal we should burn. Do you not believe in free markets?
But here's a quick hint for you. You want to know what causes the heat in the ocean, go look up into the sky during the day. See that fireball? That's your answer.

There is no functional way to implement this across 6 billion people on the planet. We'd end up with pockets of strict command and control in western Europe/Canada/US and some of asia. The rest of the world would never follow along.
Hurricane Irma
The rest of the world is already doing more than the U.S.
It's an established FACT that the USA leads the world in carbon emissions reduction and has for a decade
We also lead the world in alternative energy production
Your statement is empirically false. The rest of the world is already doing more than the U.S. Reality disproves your conjecture.
Where? And how do you define "more" and "rest of the worlds"?
Your grossly oversimplified statements sound more like an ideology, more like a fundamentalism, than science. It makes skeptics run from your cause. If your goal is to make people disagree w you, your approach is a case study in how to do that.
Great power is out FPL sucks.

Has the water risen to your doorstep yet? I have champagne on ice...
Dan8267 saysGreat power is out FPL sucks.
Wait, shouldn't you blame the lack of power on Global Warming and not on FPL? after alll, you're blaming global warming for the hurricane.
And yes, it is a scientific fact that hurricanes are more severe due to global warming. Only idiots deny that. Do you even know anything about thermodynamics? Christ, you should have learned that shit in high school.

Ah, the nature of the conservative right is revealed once again. You are petty and despicable.
Great power is out FPL sucks. I have to resort to posting on petnet with my phone. How uncivilized

Patrick.net works on a phone now???
Yeah, buried power lines would be a LOT better. Not sure if you can even due that in many parts of Florida due to water table being so high.
