A Reagan approach to climate change

An Al Gore approach to Climate Change

Al Gore at SXSW: We Need to 'Punish Climate-Change Deniers'

Yep, saw that one.
Advocating for having one's opposition forcibly silenced is the hallmark of the tyrant.

 

[Baditude]

Easy solution just kill off all humans viola no climate change problem as stupid as that is, it is just as intelligent and fact based as anything I have read regarding man made climate change.

We should also cork all the volcanoes too, perhaps with the politicians

Goggle this: What does "Throw the baby out with the bathwater" mean?

Geez, no wonder we rank near the bottom in math and science.
Anyways, those huge factors:
Hey's there used to be a super continent called Pangea...
Pangea, broke apart due to this thing called continental drift...
Continental drift changes the patterns of ocean currents...
Ocean currents play a big role in climate...
That Pangea, continental drift thing?
...put huge amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere
Hey! they're also weren't any polar ice caps....
...and thus sea level was much higher (about 30ft higher)

So yeah, in my layman's opinion, there were huge differences between Earth then, and Earth now.

The continents are still drifting.......
HOW in the hell do we stop that from happening and how much of continental drift is man made?
Please use math and science to explain.

Math and science are hard. I don't understand them.

NOW STOP WITH THE QUOTING ALREADY!

Air conditioners do generate heat as a byproduct of their operation.

The only heat an air conditioner can/could 'create' is from any friction inside the hermetic compressor. The hot air coming out thru the condenser/exhaust is really nothing more than heat extracted from the air inside a building/car/whatever. Take the Freon out of your heat pump and run it (if it even will), I guaranty you'd be cold as any heat generated by a compressor alone is minimal.

You may want to do some reading on thermodynamics, refrigeration cycles, and efficiency.

I understand refrigeration, and in the context of this discussion any heat 'generated' by an air conditioner other than extracting it from the air in one area and moving it somewhere else is comparably minimal. Obviously nothing is 100% efficient, isn't that a gimme?

Why do all these type threads have to evolve into being a 'mine's bigger than yours'....

This won't end badly.

Will it end goodly?

 

[indiucky]

Yeah man, I'm with you........ everybody who's anybody knows it was warmer because of all of the unicorns back then and their magic rainbows.
...... sadly, they're all gone now.

Please be real printcraft...It was the methane gas emitted from their anuses that caused the warming...That unicorns emitted rainbows is a MYTH!!!!

You think you could understand it if I did explain?

I do. I like math and science. Please use the back of your paper, if you need the space.

"For example, we can now produce electricity from the wind and the sun at close to the same price we pay for electricity from other sources, and we may soon know how to do cost-effective large-scale storage of electricity, thus greatly reducing the intermittency problems of solar and wind and producing a hedge against the great vulnerability of our power grid."

Completely untrue. Wind generates electricity during peak wind, not when it's needed, sun - the same for sunlight, and we are almost as close to large scale grid storage as we were when batteries were first invented. I work in the energy business, these statements are just wrong. Sandia National Labs tracks grid storage capability, I know them personally, can give you their contact information if you'd like to talk to them.

Dhhuuuuuuuuu...... I donu't no.... types slowely please. I want to no how myuch content drift is man made.



I see you've taken up the mantle of INGO contrarian now that our sgt. at arms is MIA ........ must be lonely at the top.

I shall try a different approach: PLEASE QUOTE AS MUCH AS YOU CAN! PLEASE!!!

Heh.


On the bright side, at least I didn't miss a reminder of my intellectual and educational deficiencies. I just don't understand science and math goodly enough.

I need that occasionally, lest I forget.

For the first time in a LONG time, I shall:

I didn't say it was a lot. Just pointing out that it does create heat.

It converts energy to heat.
