So strange to see the singularity approaching while the entire planet is rapidly turning into a hellscape. -John Coates

That was not a data-based statement! (Does everything need to be?)

I know it wasn't a data based statement. It was a fanciful statement. That was my point - you get on your soap box about "data" and "reality" and "science" but when the data doesn't match your rhetoric you ignore it and plead "Does everything need to be about data?"

Tom... the science is there and the anecdotal evidence is there... we just don't know where this wrecking ball is going to stop.

Heating up in more ways than one...

I’m talking here about the connection between economic status and per capita emissions. Both you and Brimstoner have tried to dismiss the link between economic status and per capita emissions.

High quality of life = high per capita emissions. If we’re going to ignore or dismiss basic facts like that why even bother discussing anything?

Maybe something has to change drastically?

Tomfh, they are right. It's not fair to use per capita CO2 emissions because those of us trying to decrease our foot print need to emit more CO2 in order to do so. Therefore z those of us with the means will pollute more but for good reason.

 

[Tomfh]

Maybe something has to change drastically?

To cut emissions in any meaningful way then absolutely it does.

Yes!

If we are to have a meaningful adult interchange, TBE & Tomfh & a couple others need to stop misunderstanding my meaning, mischaracterizing my positions, miscomprehending the problem of Global Heating in general, and tossing personal insults, then yes something will need to change drastically!

I'll begin by saying sorry I am confusing you. But I don't know how to change that, other than saying it is a matter of education. I've tried simplifying the problem statement but it hasn't seemed to help.

I'm off now to prepare for a day of providing truth to my clients, in exchange for improved economic status for myself. Because my economic status matters a lot. I would like to say it's been fun, but that would be dishonest; in the end maybe I planted a few seeds that will germinate despite the withering heat. I know I really enjoy learning new things!

I suppose it's possible another new member could show up and prove they're the biggest condescending asshole on this forum, but I doubt it. <shrug>

 

[TugboatEng]

matter of education

Did you learn that in marketing or philosophy? I'm going to guess the latter as you're not very good at people.

"The planet has absolutely no interest in that metric." ... brimstoner from thread II.

true, see George Carlin's YT video "saving the planet"

another day in paradise, or is paradise one day closer ?

 

[TugboatEng]

Dik, ask yourself, why are their no engineers in the climate field posting here?

 

[dik]

They probably have better things to do... they're probably very busy. This thread will peter out when all the terrible things become so common place that the news agencies stop reporting the items.

Dik, it's because their ideas can't stand up to the slightest bit of scrutiny.

Not at all tug... these things are happening before your very eyes. There has never been a time in my life where such a large amount of 'bad weather' has been happening. It's likely only going to get worse. Take a gander at the clip in the message above in particular at min 5 and min 8. Locate something to refute it and post. My earler tag line questioned if it was science, or the wrath of God... take your pick.
