"Florida State University criminology professor Eric Stewart was a guru of the claim that “systemic racism” infests America’s police and American society.
Now he’s out of a job on account of “extreme negligence” in his research."

I wonder how many "scientists" in the climate crowd are cooking the books just so they can get funding.

I keep referencing the dailytech article about runaway greenhouse theories being "totally wrong" but some people now are talking about global boiling >_>
The weather was getting colder for a while too then all of a sudden when it gets hot the global warming crowd go crazy without looking at other scientists' point of view.

Plop every climate denier down into the Colorado River basin and have them dowse for water so we can replenish the river and California can have enough water to grow the nation's food in the Central Valley and L.A. residents can have enough to drink. Tell climate deniers that they can pay for people's home replacement when they burn down during wildfires, because most of the nation's major property insurers quit insuring homes in fire prone areas of the West. Even in the tornado ravaged areas in the South and Midwest, insurers are starting to drop coverage there too. Build at your own risk, and loss.

You're a conspiracy theorist who believes that the Earth is flat so obviously you won't accept evidence from any source that doesn't tell you what you already want to hear. The fact is that China has been spending much more than the US on combatting climate change. If you refuse to believe that, then I don't know what to tell you. Go to China yourself and see, if you insist.

You have this truly moronic, US-centric belief that everything is a conspiracy. There are tens of thousands of climate scientists worldwide that don't have anything invested in "the game" because they don't have to compete for research funding. They can simply do their science, and they've reached the consensus that we're wrecking the planet.

From the article:
Nearly half of the world's low-carbon spending took place in China, according to a recent analysis from market research firm BloombergNEF. The country spent $546 billion in 2022 on investments that included solar and wind energy, electric vehicles and batteries. That is nearly four times the amount of U.S. investments, which totaled $141 billion. The European Union was second to China with $180 billion in clean energy investments. China also dominated in low-carbon manufacturing, accounting for more than 90 percent of the $79 billion invested in that sector last year, according to the report.
This is exactly what you asked for, but of course you're not being honest, so you immediately dismiss it. Neo's 'Scientific American has to be lying because they believe the world is round' position is more honest than yours.
And some more where that came from:
https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/press ... chnologies
Beijing, October 12, 2022 – Climate change poses a significant threat to China’s long-term prosperity. At the same time, the country is well positioned to meet its climate commitments and transition to a greener economy while meeting its development goals, according to a World Bank Group report released today.
The World Bank Group’s Country Climate and Development Report (CCDR) for China analyzes the fundamental changes in energy, industry, transport, cities, and land use that would enable China to realize its national commitments to reach peak carbon emissions before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. The report highlights the urgency of action, because of China’s large emission of greenhouse gases, the heavy exposure of China’s population and economic infrastructure to climate risks, and China’s critical role in global efforts to combat climate change.
Of course they're not doing nearly as much as they could/should, but that's because there are a bunch of greedy rich people and climate change deniers over there, too. But this entire argument is ridiculous, you sound like a child whining to their parents that they shouldn't have to clean up their room because their sibling's rooms are just as messy.

Welp, I hope you like expensive food then, especially beef and winter veggies. You can't grow food in Michigan in the winter either. Texas and most other cattle (and sheep) are raised in the West and a lot of food comes from the Sacramento Valley in California, especially almonds, lettuce, tomatoes and avocados, which won't grow or survive in the Mid-West due to the violent weather and cold winters. The Mid-West is best for 2 things, wheat and corn. I drove the length of the Sacramento Valley a couple of years ago. It's literally miles and miles of almond trees, tomatoes, grapes and other warm weather crops. No water, it all dries up and is gone from human consumption. We starve. Are you really that clueless?

Oh, and a lot of lumber comes from Canada, which is burning up right now, and the Pacific Northwest. Our Douglas fir trees are either under drought stress, or burning up, despite the last rainy winter.

Yeah, its this. They need so much energy they aren't being picky.
And the transition to renewable energy is something we can only accelerate so much, there is no getting around how some of it can only go so fast. Plus we don't want to rush so much that it causes bigger problems just in a different way. Like every problem with clean energy production can generally be solved or minimized if we take the time to do it right (and limit our consumption now to minimize the damage that is already happening). Mining and recycling are the big ones, clean energy likes rare-earths or stuff that isn't the easiest to extract or refine, and recycling is also often a very energy intensive process, but they are all stuff that can be made neutral or sustainable.

Go back to the flat earth discussion in the other thread(s) with Isaac Neo if you want to continue that topic. This is a totally different topic about climate science. Of course, if there's a God, I'd think He'd be ticked off at us humans as we trash what you believe is His flat creation while we slowly bake, suffocate and poison all life on earth, including ourselves. We'll end up being His ultimate mistake and I didn't think a God made mistakes.

All right, getting back to climate. Nature affects us far more than you realize. Look up the Tonga erution:
"When the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano erupted on Jan. 15
, it sent a tsunami racing around the world and set off a sonic boom that circled the globe twice. The underwater eruption in the South Pacific Ocean also blasted an enormous plume of water vapor into Earth’s stratosphere – enough to fill more than 58,000 Olympic-size swimming pools. The sheer amount of water vapor could be enough to temporarily affect Earth’s global average temperature.
In the study, published in Geophysical Research Letters, Millán and his colleagues estimate that the Tonga eruption sent around 146 teragrams (1 teragram equals a trillion grams) of water vapor into Earth’s stratosphere – equal to 10% of the water already present in that atmospheric layer. That’s nearly four times the amount of water vapor that scientists estimate the 1991 Mount Pinatubo eruption in the Philippines lofted into the stratosphere"
This extra water vapor could influence atmospheric chemistry, boosting certain chemical reactions that could temporarily worsen depletion of the ozone layer. It could also influence surface temperatures.
https://www.nasa.gov/feature/jpl/tonga- ... ratosphere
Compare this information to what you probably read:
https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/17/asia/ton ... index.html
And you'll understand why you are led by the nose on what is causing the most climate change. Oh and lets throw in sunspots and the Milankovitch Cycles (earths wobble):
Despite the plethora of data supporting human-driven climate change, too many of our world leaders and thought provokers continue to dismiss or misuse science for alternative agendas.
"For the past 40 years, NASA satellites have detected a reduction in the amount of solar radiation reaching Earth, suggesting we should be experiencing a gradual cooling, not rapid warming (Buis and NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, 2020)"
https://www.maas.museum/observations/20 ... te-change/
I know most of you here will not prefer to read the links as you've become comfortable in your erroneous and mis-guided climate warming beliefs because everyone tells you it is so.

And as for the volcano: While it did temporarily exacerbate the problem, water vapor is a greenhouse gas but it only stays in the atmosphere for 9 days, as opposed to CO2, which stays in the atmosphere from 300 to 1000 years. Not to mention the undeniable warming trend before the eruption, so trying to blame it all on that one volcano is ridiculous.
