Hey maga folks, is climate change fact or fiction?
Caused by humans or just part of the natural “evolution” of the planet?
Should we take action or just let it ride?

The cost of insurance and infrastructure are financial ramifications
Jan 12, 2025, 2:04 AM

These and other economic considerations combined with human migration will change civilization as we know it in the next century. Most people are unaware of the economic costs that are already being experienced. In the next several decades those will become readily apparent.

Decades?
In the next couple weeks / months / years those economic costs will become readily apparent.
If you live in certain areas, these costs will become apparent in the next few days / weeks / months.
If your area is not hit directly and you get 99% of your news from Fox and other biased right wing sources, you might not understand the realities of climate change for a couple decades.

I'm not MAGA and I do believe in climate change. I also believe that most of what is being done will not make one bit of difference unless China, India and developing nations also attempt to mitigate the problem.
We have probably already passed a point where we are going to be able to do much about this problem and knee jerk, feel good attempts may make other problems much worse.
I suspect we're going to have to learn to adapt to this changing environment in which some areas will actually benefit from the changes and others will be very adversely affected.
Having said all that, I don't necessarily think the fires in S CA are related to climate change, maybe, maybe not.
The facts are S CA is typically a dry environment. Santa Anna winds have been a long standing issue. People continue to build homes in rugged terrain surrounded by brush. This same brush is quite dry as S CA has as of late been drier than usual. However, in the 2 preceding years, S CA was much wetter than normal which led to greater brush growth.
When people choose to build in an area with potential winds of 100 mph, surrounded by dry brush with oftentimes challenging terrain and with poor water availability, what has happened and is happening is not really a surprise nor is it necessarily related to climate change.

of fire than other places in the US.
People in Florida and the coast of Texas are at higher risk of flooding and destruction from hurricanes.
One of the things that climate scientists have told us is that a warming world will have more extreme weather events. We shouldn't blame one specific fire or hurricane on climate change. But as the world warms, we can expect more of these types of events in the future.

Climate-change scientists ignore a key principle of all science
1
Jan 16, 2025, 7:46 AM
|
|
They ignore the impact on climate from the third leg of the climate model tripod:
They ignore the changes within the earth itself, and worse, show no interest in even establishing a baseline for changes in the activities within the earth.
Instead, these self-described scientists join in on the cacophony of voices that bleat ‘anthropogenic climate change is settled science.’ By ignoring the basic tenet of science, these self-described climate ‘scientists’ have relegated their work to that of highly skilled technicians. Indeed, their abilities to utilize modern instrumentation and technology to measure numerous aspects of change in global temperature is impressive work … but this work remains of ‘technician quality’ in the absence of adherence to the basic principle of all true science. All known variables must be measured before a conclusion can be drawn.
We can easily see some new phenomena regarding the earth itself, yet the link to the thermal impact to these changes is ignored by climate ‘scientists.’
Unprecedented speed and scale of the annual movement of magnetic north. From the 1800’s until early New Millenium, magnetic north drifted a few meters each year. Within the past 10 to 15 years, magnetic north has been drifting mikes per year, in some years moving 25 to 50 mikes per year. This phenomenon may be caused by changes in the flow-patterns of iron rich magma beneath the earth’s crust.
Changes in the flow pattern of a liquid represent a form of turbulence; turbulence puts pressure on the solid ‘barriers’ which contain the flowing liquid. There is a correlation between the rise in global seismic activity within the most recent two to three decades compared to the baseline of seismic activity from the period of 1960 to 1990. The number of still-active volcanoes today is between 10% and 20% higher than it was during the average year during the decades of 1960 to 1990.
Satellite based measurements can detect earthquakes of the M5 and M4 range, but had missed the status of the far far more numerous M3 and M2 quakes. Submarine earthquakes transfer tremendous heat into ocean waters for as long as liquid water can enter the earth surface’s cracks and exit as steam. Yet, no attempt to actually count M3 and M2 quakes has been made.
Why? I suspect it is because there is no green energy industry profit from proving something uncontrollable is a significant contributor to the earth’s climate.

The dry conditions are directly related to climate change. The Santa Ana wind events are not.
Building in fire zones are making things worse. Refusing to clean up fuel in these forests are making things worse.

The hidden costs of climate change are a significant part of the issue
Jan 12, 2025, 9:54 AM
[ in reply to Re: The cost of insurance and infrastructure are financial ramifications ] |

Design and construction specifications for for buildings , DOT, ports, utility systems etc. already incorporate costs related to changing climate conditions. And there’s costs buried in our military budget, local government services such as fire, lost productivity etc. The willingness and ability for governments, businesses and individuals to pay for these hidden costs will be a challenge especially given the environment of conspiratorial distrust of subject matter experts and government.
Hope it doesn’t impact you and send Ts & Ps to those it does.

The climate has been changing for as long as we’ve tracked it.
I have not seen evidence that humans have much of an impact. Ie. If this were a study, there would be no constant.
Using American tax dollars to try and manipulate the weather at this point is absurd. For one- India and China should pay the lion’s share. And 2 are we sure we know what we’re doing? None of the solutions put forward to date are perfect… and at what cost? Examples: solar panels, wind turbines, electric cars.. It’s 100% political at this point. I’m old enough to remember how we were all going to be extinct by 2000 and 2010 and 2015 and 2020 and 2022 and 2025. Maybe the biggest inconvenient truth is none of that happened.

>>Caused by humans or just part of the natural “evolution” of the planet?
It's mostly driven by human actions. There are some natural parts, too. But climate scientists who have studied this have an overwhelming consensus at this point that climate change is real, and driven by humans.
Should we take action or just let it ride?
We should take action. There needs to be worldwide action. And that action won't happen without US leadership. It won't happen without China, India, and Europe, too.

The post wreaks of someone who believes they know the science; they think they know it all and all 'scientists' who are real scientists agree.
Just ufcking come to grips with the fact that what you think about climate change (aka weather) is your OPINION, and an UNIFORMED OPINION at that.
Look, everyone knows people are changing the planet. When you mow your yard you are changing the planet. Anything we do creates or uses energy and heat.
No one can prove with math or physics that humans have caused or will cause global warming to the extent that those effects dominate the other physics naturally occurring between the sun and earth and earth's climate processes. Period. We/humans are not that smart and we do not have sufficient knowledge of 'initial conditions' or current conditions that would be needed to feed such a math/physics model.
Imagine a ginormous array of 1x1x1 (inch) cubes inside which the sun and search are placed. To really understand how to physically model the phenomena happening on earch, one would need to know the materials inside each cube, their state, and have a complete understanding of the physical properties (strength, heat conduction, thermodynamic properties, etc.) of the materials for the huge range of temperature, pressure to which they may be exposed.
This includes materials at the center of the planet to the surface, through the atmosphere, and between the atmosphere and the sun. Think about it.
If the number of cubes in the model are, say, 10,000 billion cubes, the number of cubes for which we really know what we need to know is maybe 100,000.

has been formed by an enormous amount of peer-reviewed research.
It's no longer a debate about whether we're having it. We should discuss how to mitigate, and how to adapt, and how to reverse it. But debating whether or not it's even happening at this point is like debating whether or not the Earth is flat or round.

And, get a grip on 'peer reviewed research.' Are you that naive? You really believe a bunch of leftists that have formed a self-licking ice cream cone club to convince themselves and THEIR FUNDERS that humans are causing global warming is the final word on this?

CO2 generation, atmospheric accumulation & greenhouse impact

… are pretty simple chemistry and physics. The statistical correlation of fossil fuel usage to CO2 atmospheric concentrations over time is also relatively straightforward.
The impacts of rising atmospheric CO2 levels on weather patterns are less precise _ but temperature trends in weather data support the predicted climate change hypothesis.
It’s really pretty simple science and math. Maybe Musk can get some Indian scientists and engineers over on H1B visas to explain it better?

CO2's impact on climate is well-established and known. Methane also has warming impacts which are known. There's nothing controversial about the existence of man-made impacts on the planet at this point. Now, we don't know absolutely everything. We can argue about future projections, or the best way to mitigate climate risk. There are things that aren't known with certainty. But the existence of man-made climate change is known, and the concepts behind it are in fact 'simple' to understand.

Another good article:

As human beings we are hard-wired from birth to look for patterns and explain why they happen. This problem doesn’t go away when we grow up though, it becomes worse the more intelligent we think we are. We convince ourselves that now we are older, wiser, smarter, that our conclusions are closer to the mark than when we were younger (the faster the wind blows the faster the windmill blades turn, not the other way around)...

Man certainly contributes to polluting the planet and harming the environment. We should all respect mother nature and do what we can to protect our environment.
At the same time, mankind and an industrialized world is not evil.
Yes, the climate is changing (always has, always will), and man's contribution is real, but exagerated, and solutions must be balanced with an overall, common-sense perspective that isn't driven by special interests. There's room for both capitalistic, profit-driven big industry which provides tremendous benefits for society, and sesnible environmental policy that helps keep out air, water, and soil clean and healthy.

It became a pseudo religious issue with Pat Robertson and others in the early 90s. The dominion theory is that God gave man dominion to do whatever he wanted to the planet, so it must be fine. Pat and those others took a lot of money from the Kochs, by the way.

on climate change agree that if the USA GHG emissions went to zero, it would have a negligible effect because China, India, and developing nations are building fossil fuel plants faster than Biden is losing his mind.

You probably have no idea about it, but China is actively building nuclear power plants. Even they view the fossil fuel plants as a stop-gap, and have huge investments in solar and other renewables.

Yes - it is really odd that folks don't "see" this is happening.

NC Tiger has an inaccurate assessment of China’s actions related to climate change.
Austin Pounders right on target with respect to China and climate change.

Steve Koonin is pretty interesting if you would like to learn a little more about Climatology and some of the political manipulation of climate science.

Interesting quote:
"3 billion people on the planet, of the 8 billion total, use less energy per year than the average American refrigerator."

The annual CO2 emissions from California fires are negatively affecting the planet but the fish are safe.

For those of you that say, it’s pointless for the US to reduce carbon emissions while China and India, continue to warm the planet, see this huge project in China ……
https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/a-desert-full-of-power-gargantuan-solar-array-250-miles-long-to-power-beijing/
No doubt, china continues to build coal plants, and we don’t, but China is simultaneously aggressively investing in renewables.
They are the leading global manufacturer of solar panels. They might be building a similar position with the manufacture of batteries.
They are crushing it with electric vehicles. Their electric vehicles hit very low price points whereas Elon‘s vehicles don’t really appeal to the masses because of the higher price points.
Bottom line is everybody on the planet, except Maga / Trump, realize these are industries of the future. Biden has done a phenomenal job planting seeds for these industries in the United States. See US manufacturing jobs created in these industries. Greater than 60% of these manufacturing jobs created by the IRA are in red states, so those of you that see the USA as a “us / them country” should be happy.
Meanwhile, the US provides billions of subsidies to the coal oil and gas industries. These are industries that truly needed subsidies when they started 100 years ago.
Don’t tell me, coal oil and gas still need subsidies to keep prices low. That’s the anti-market big government that y’all Maga folks say you don’t want. If you remove subsidies from coal oil and gas, the prices will drift up a little bit, and that will let the free market drift towards energy sources that have prices that are much more stable and in a long term downward trend. Prices for renewables are not controlled by a cartel in the Middle East and a couple old white guys in Texas and Wash DC.
https://www.budget.senate.gov/chairman/newsroom/press/sen-whitehouse-on-fossil-fuel-subsidies-we-are-subsidizing-the-danger-
https://www.spglobal.com/marketintelligence/en/news-insights/latest-news-headlines/efforts-to-remove-billions-in-us-fossil-fuel-subsidies-face-uphill-battle-75649055
"We no longer need to promote more fossil fuel developments with tax breaks — oil is one of the most profitable products on the planet," US Rep. Earl Blumenauer said. In March, the Oregon Democrat reintroduced his End Oil and Gas Tax Subsidies Act, legislation he has sponsored several times over the past decade.
And for any of you, that are still climate, skeptics, have you parked your car in your garage, closed the garage door and turned the car on? No, you have not done that because you would be dead. I’m talking dead. I’m not talking subsidies or trees or left or right or prices of gas. I’m talking dead.
The emissions from cars and coal plants are deadly. Why is the US government still subsidizing and paying for these emissions?

You are going to believe what you are going to believe, true or not, because just about anything anyone wants to believe is supported by something online.
Maybe I am a victim of this as well. Or maybe I have spent my whole career learning how to characterize and define the unknown; how to design experiments and take data that is post-processed and analyzed to identify elusive trends and cause-and-effect relationships. And maybe I've learned over a lifetime to apply those same principles to everyday events, society, and politics.
If you do not know how to find ground truth and discern important from unimportant, then you will be lost, and many of you are.

Why are you wasting time speaking to anyone who uses maga as a pejorative? Anyone dumb enough to think that's some kind of own is way to clueless to discuss anything of note. Let them wallow in their own misery the next few years as tbey howl at the moon.

MAGA folks do tend to smear their feces on the walls inside the Capitol. And some throw their feces at the mothers of other victims of MAGA. Some run over and kill people at Klan rallies. It’s not a good club to be in, unless you want a sure ticket straight to hell.

You may not realize what’s going on in China. They are in the middle of an effort to match or surpass us in every area, which has led them to produce a lot more scientists and engineers each year than the US. I perform a lot of peer reviews, partly because I try to do a decent job, but mostly because I return them on time and the editors trust me. I’ve watched the quality of published work from China steadily improve over the years. 30 years ago, I maybe saw one manuscript from China every year or two and there was a high reject rate. Now, it’s multiple papers a year and they nearly all get accepted. That’s anecdotal, but you can mine the SCI for a full picture.

I do not doubt they/China have gotten better as you have observed. I have similar long-term observations of people that work for the US Gov't and see the opposite trend - people getting less intelligent.

That’s a fair point. We just elected an epic dumbazz to run the government. Again, after he failed spectacularly the first time.

Trump is not gonna fail the second time around.
He is going use crypto to run pump and dump schemes and get central banks around the world to hold crypto reserves.
The average Trumper is going to have no idea that they were fleeced next week next year, and certainly not at the end of four years.
They will still be crying about gasoline prices, books in schools, who uses which bathroom and who eats dogs in Ohio. Meanwhile, Trump has already started amassing billions and billions and billions of wealth via crypto.
