That's fine that you've made some observations. I said their "ideas" can't stand up to scrutiny. Climate engineers don't exist. Nobody with an ethical mind is going to participate in this social experiment.

Sorry tug, I think your wrong. There are some engineers likely working in the climate related fields. Anything worth studying and investigating likely has an engineer involved. There are also a few climatologists involved, too.

You forgot to mention (again) that climate scientists know nothing of thermodynamics; besides, it is clearly not even relevant to that field of study.

Danm all experts anyway, and their socialist agenda.

Why does trying to save humanity (if thats the intended result) have anything to do with politics?

Hangover from the Cold War, and implicit or explicit amongst many of the committed Deniers on these threads.

Three generations of slandering liberal political opponents or activists with a 'socialist' or 'commie' label has not disappeared; in fact it has come back into fashion in the US, on conservative Hate Radio, Fox (ahem) News, and antisocial media. Whenever there is any trouble at a demonstration, the MSM routinely lies by attributing it to a 'false flag antifa* operation', based on zero evidence in almost every instance. It works to push the buttons of uninformed and less literate folks who have been marinading in this narrative for so long.

* not a fan in any way of antifa!

Dik, your attempts at saving the world are really poisoning it. You're not the good guy here. You're letting fear drive irrational decisions.

Brim, I just started a thread that explained climate change as a result of energy consumption and not CO2 output. How is that a denial?

brims... quit with the politics; there are enough problems without them.
Tugs... I don't think I am, but time will tell. I hope you're right, but have serious doubts. It's not fear, it's a serious and well founded concern. Take a look around you. One of the latest...

Dik, redwood and sequoia trees have evolved over millennia to not only tolerate fire but require it to survive. You are not doing your side any favors with these moronic links.

dik,

Background, not politics. People need to learn where the stuff comes from that they casually throw at other people.

Anybody got any solutions? That is what this forum is about. Population control? How?

Sequoias have ways endured fire.

And apparently, you didn't read anything about how hot a fire sequoias can tolerate, which is less than what occurred in the Windy Fire

"There were four of those that had burned so hot that they'd fallen over," he said.

If you look the rings in the photos you may notice that fire WAS a less than 20 year occurrence. Now, fires are less frequent and more hot due to an accumulation of fuel. It's time to rake them forests.

Old Normal, meet New Normal. Oak Fire happening today is '0% contained'.

I seem to more about US affairs than some Americans on here. Thank you NPR and WDETFM for great reporting and great weekend music.

The Energizer Bunny of dissembling, distraction, disinformation and denial.

It is comforting to know that no battery can run forever.

We have the same politics re. fires in Australia. The climate activists trying to claim that wildfires/bushfires are an unprecedented phenomena. "The earth is on fire!". Like the flood statistics, the alarmists aren't interested in the historical bushfire records. They consider it "dissembling, distraction, disinformation and denial". So down the memory hole with the old records...
