Oh, you mean fatalities before ambulances and fire engines, so climate change sure is a hoax. But I’m sorry you have to climb one more time up into the cherry tree.
@**joe No I don't own stock in the energy industry. I am simply not into cave dwelling. I do realize that fossil fuels are eventually going to run out and if we don't shift to better sources before that happens we'll starve to death. But by the same token, if we stop using them before we have alternatives in place we'll starve to death. Thus the ignore it crowd isn't the right solution, the be a lemming and jump off the cliff isn't the right solution either. And windmills and solar panels aren't the right solution because the power they deliver is to diffuse and intermittent and we don't have enough rare Earth metals to make enough energy this way even if we were willing to dedicate the land. Molten salt breeder reactors are the immediate solution and a longer term solution is fusion, which has been now demonstrated in Wendlestein-7x so it is no longer "in the future", it is now a proven technology.
@arnst Our civilizations won't be significantly affected by 1-2 degrees, here at least the seasonal differences between mid-winter and mid-summer are on the order of 60 degrees.
@arnst If you have anything like honest data, this is as much as it's risen in the last 120 years, and at best we might double CO2 by the end of the century IF we do nothing. CO2 doesn't create a linear increase because it doesn't absorb broadly across the entire spectrum, it absorbs along spectral lines. Those lines are already saturated by the time you get 12-14 feet above the ground. Further increases will somewhat broaden the lines but the majority of the absorption is already in place, so we're not talking huge increases in temperature.
@nanook Thanks, but I go by theories that keep being proven by reality while we speak. The tipping points will eventually put it all completely out of our control. Ruthless profiteers will still be ruthless, lying profiteers, but our senses will be that much sharpened!
