"What if it is a big hoax and we hike the cost of energy for nothing?"
- Economic decline
- Famine
- War
- Genocide
- Poverty
Look at Germany and what they've done with solar and wind. Arguably too much too fast, but it's not cause massive strife.
In the meantime, we're still beating new temp records on a regular basis and all evidence shows it is happening.
"If the stock market is increasing, how can every day not be the highest the market has ever been ?"
Why argue with people that don't know what a trend is ?
Heraclitusstudent saysmoved the goal post
You fell in to your own trap.
You're arguing with people that are in an anti science anti knowledge bubble, that is, when it pleases them. It's not just Brietbart and Fox, it's twitter and social media - the same monster that helped create the young SJW wackos.
Also, I think there is a personality type, that loves the idea of thinking they knew things before others SO MUCH, that in this case, they feel that if somehow climate change is not happening, they will get much more "I told you so" pleasure from thinking to themselves, and telling other for the rest of their lives that they knew all along, than the shame and embarrassment of having parroted the AGW denial ...
WE don't have infinite fossil fuels
We all know there will be periods of time where there will be less power produced via solar/wind in a 24 hour period to carry you over to the next day.
Energy independence on that list is a FUCKING LIE
wind
"for nothing"
It can't be for nothing. WE don't have infinite fossil fuels, and burning it pollutes, even if somehow AGW was false.
Can you agree that there are millions of people smarter than you that disagree with you on this ?
Facts are facts
I've never argued against climate change. I've argued against alarmism
Climate is complex. Ice on parts of the planet melts when it gets warmer. Why should it be surprising that at this stage of AGW it's an uptrend that includes down swings ?
You are arguing against climate change.
The data you like to cite is taking an anomolous hot February of 2016 and compare that to a cool February two years later.
Nobody is saying we can get everything from solar and wind.
Actually solar and winds are already the cheapest form of energy in many places.
They are because we already invested a lot of money in these, and nothing bad happened to the economy.
2. The last couple of years have been cooling in spite of co2 increasing.
3. 2018 was the 4th warmest year on record.
4. Co2 is essential to life.
5. The predictions of Manhattan and Florida being underwater by now are false.
7. Humans can adapt to a wide range of conditions.
This is consistent with what has been happening for the last century.
Yes, humans also can and will get off of fossil fuels.
When it became obvious that the climate model predicted multi degree temperature spike was not happening, the alarmists renamed global warming climate change and started the narrative of " even a couple degrees can be catastrophic".
THe only multi degree increase models were for a century or more out.
Then we have little to worry about
In a sane world, we wouldn't have to know with certainty exactly how this is going to unfold in order to feel a relative sense of urgency about getting off of fossil fuels.
Onvacation says20 years later and we got 2 feet of snow on the first day of summer in Colorado.
So?
Just goes to show that the cataclysmic, permanent drought, snow is a memory, global warming scientists were wrong.
These things are obvious and not worth talking about.
And yet here we are.
So you're mad because Newsweek published something overly dramatic?
Seriously?
