Climate scientists agree: Humans cause global warming

Re: Bored

"AFAIK I'm ALREADY paying 30-50% of my utility bill towards supporting so called green policies that I have no faith in and would not fund had I the choice."

I don't doubt you're right.

And I guess you also know that a potentially much larger proportion of your descendents' utility bills will be used to handle the problem of long-term nuclear waste containment, once someone decides that the species can't take the ostrich-head-sand approach any longer.

Of course, being a requirement for which no precise timescale has yet been mandated, this particular nuclear energy subsidy - for that's exactly what it is as far as today's power companies are concerned - can be left out of the subsidy discussions for quite a few financial reporting years yet.

Re: Truth

"That."

I'd always believed that computers / computing either didn't actually exist or else were not created by humans but I could never clearly see why. You've clarified with your impeccable reasoning:

Computer scientists involved are merely perpetuating the "myth" of AC (Computing) because they are in an echo chamber of group reinforcement or are anxious to keep their grant money flowing.

Thank you. So obvious through your insight.

Re: Regardless

"We can certainly make many sensible changes to our lifestyles, but before we go and make huge ones to our civilizations we should probably find some actual answers based on provable facts and tested mechanisms."

Just like we did before we started extracting and burning fossil fuels at ever increasing rates, eh?

Re: Regardless

Reminds me of:

Q: Why is drinking American beer like fornicating in a rowing boat?

A: Because they're both effing close to water.

"What matters is what the global masses and their elected representatives think, because if they react too severely and impetuously, they will push the world's economy, already in extremis, over the edge."

Shirley not!

Don't they know that's the sole prerogative of the bankers and financicators?
