So, he can contribute as much co2 production as he likes (and it is plenty; compared to someone like me) but his "support" of carbon capture projects makes it all OK? What a load of crap. A similar concept is carbon tax. If I pee in your water, it is undrinkable. If I pee in your water and pay a tax to offset that, drink up! What are Al Gore's "necessary emissions"? Heating and air conditioning for his large house (s)? Jet fuel burning for extensive travel? He is doing squat for the environment, just like most people. Probably the worst hypocrite is the guy who preaches environmental protection, but fathers a half dozen kids or more. Regards, Bill | |||

Cloud seeding with silver dioxide is so old C.W. McCall sang about it, everything else is speculative maybes. On the flip side of "maybe" there's always a "maybe not". AND EVEN IF technology matures to allow the development of clouds or triggering of rain, eventually, it would not affect the amount of carbon we dump into the atmosphere.

It doesn't matter how you power it or where you source all the chemicals it now uses, modern agriculture absolutely depends on predictable, stable growing seasons, which will soon be memories. In any closed system, like our atmosphere, if you add energy (heat) you get bigger cyclic swings, like a pendulum. The overall trend is decidedly toward warming but you are guaranteed to get stuff like screwed-up jet stream patterns letting polar air down to Oklahoma and two-week mini-Springs in February. A late, hard frost just after crops have emerged may let you replant, but it makes getting the crop harvested before the first hard frost in Fall iffy, and makes one of these heat domes that sticks around for weeks a problem because while plants do love some extra CO2 they can only use it within limited temperature ranges, they just don't grow when it's too hot, unless it's also dry, then they die. When Louisiana has a drought problem we should all pay attention. A lot of crops depend on external pollination, but those fake mini-Springs can cause them to emerge early, when there's nothing for them, then the return of the cold kills them. Which leaves nothing for when the crops need pollinating. Yeah, those bees and bugs are a pain in the ass but you'll have little fruit without them. A closed system with added energy will trend warmer by a few degrees but the extremes will move out more enthusiastically; droughts deeper and longer, storms stronger from all the extra heat, floods in places that never flood, and all the places that do. Then there's little minor stuff like the Gulf Stream shutting down because too much cold, fresh water is coming off of Greenland, won't have that much effect over here but Western Europe may wish furs were back in style. Want to get rich beyond your wildest dreams? Invent and patent a farming system that is proof from drought and flood and storms and temperature-controlled that has its own supply of pollinators.

Really? He needs multiple homes of several thousand square feet? He needs private aircraft travel? Etc. Gore is a hypocrite. He was heavily involved in the carbon exchange business and stands to make a huge profit if we go down his desired path… so he’s not some sort of altruist, especially since he’s been overstating the effects and the time frames since 1976… not being right. The whole ice caps melting and oceans rise doom and gloom scenario actually adversely effects Asia and Africa much more significantly than the west, so instead of going in for coal, if they believe the evidence, they would be avoiding even short term use… I’m not denying that CO2 levels are going up. I do question the significance of the rise and its predicted outcomes. I have no problem with trying to reduce CO2 emissions in a doable manner. I don’t hate solar- it’s eminently reasonable for those off grid. I think NG with its increased efficiency is a good bridge choice short term, but the plan should be nuclear with the hope of developing fusion down the road. I agree e-vehicles are a great idea for commuting and short range transport. I do think that we should get rid of OTR long distance trucking and go to electric powered freight trains. I also think that ag is one of the areas that we are going to need to continue petroleum power with. Ditto for rural driving. I just can’t see how our current and foreseeable tech is going to solve the issues that battery operation has. I’m also scientifically trained. I don’t see “proof” of a lot of the things that the climate alarmists claim. Doesn’t mean I disagree with it wholly or that it’s illogical… just not proven. But we do a lot of things with substantially less than proof level of confidence. The fundamental disconnect I have with the whole climate debate is that the cause that is given is not really related to the SJW methodology for fixing the problem. Why pay a penalty and give it to others when it’s just as reasonable to reduce a cost and drive folks via direct self interest? Answer… it’s not about the problem, it’s about control.

Kinda funny watching you try to defend a guy who owns at least 4 huge homes that consume massive amounts of energy. Sure, relatively recently he promised that he was no longer flying in private jets, but why would he need to, seeing that he has retired after making hundreds of millions off of his BS? I don’t watch Fox “news”, but nice try… What do you gain from the silly personal attacks?

That, a temporary, localized set of conditions, is weather. If not for human activity it would have been merely another drought on the Southern Great Plains, which existed as plains primarily because they were subject to periodic drought (not enough regular precipitation to support trees or extensive brush, like grasslands across the planet). In the 20s Federal policy was to encourage settlement out west, and a rainy decade made it seem plausible. Wheat prices were up so the settlers broke and planted every acre they could, wiping out the deep-rooted prairie grass that had held the soil in place through the droughts since shortly after the Ice Age ended. Drought returned in 1930; the crop failed and withered. By 1931 millions of acres had absolutely no cover, just bare dirt waiting for a stiff breeze; thus started the Dust Bowl that ran until the rains came late in the decade. Weather, made worse by human ignorance. "If you’re innocent why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?”- Donald Trump | |||

I might "apply that same logic to biology" if I knew what you're talking about. Mass species extinctions? It would take climate science deniers forever - too late - to see it for themselves, but scientists could see it happening in real time, and have studied it and reported on it. Deniers deny that too.

Climate Science is a made-up term. The accurate term is Climatology, or the study of climate. The same as Medicine. A practice, not a science. If Climate Science were a science, there would be only one hurricane track rather than 50 guesses. Outcomes are projected by computer models rather than direct observation. Climatology uses some scientific methods, but it is not a science. One day, perhaps, there will be enough data available for it to be a science. "Climate Science" and the global warming hoax have been used as payback to Al Gore, John Kerry, the UN, and the industrial complex as a substitute for war. Create a fictitious "boogeyman" to bilk the world out of cash. Mathematics, Physics, Astronomy, Engineering, and Chemistry are sciences because theories can be proved and results repeated time and time again. | |||

They rip us off just like oil companies do. I've never bought a steak that showed a "Public Grass" Discount sticker or a gallon of gas that was cheaper because it was from under public land. Never saw a 2x6 marked down as "National Forest Lumber" either, for that matter. Kick 'em all off, give everybody 3 months to move their stock then have a three month "slow elk" season with $10 licenses to clean up what gets left behind and we won't need to shoot any Yellowstone bison, we'll have plenty of graze for them.
