If ya'll cared at all about the human race, you'd refrain from booting up your 70% coal powered computer.

Where'd that number come from?

I used some website called eia.gov and ballparked the Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska numbers. It would be much lower if you lived in a state without coal resources like hawaii.

I think it's highly hypocrital and disingenious for all these libtards (see edna, 'teve 'Ave, etc.), who genuinely believe the world is in imminent danger of ending, to use electricity largely sourced from fossil fuels to post.

These far left militant extremists need to put their money where their mouth is. Only solar and wind powered households. Otherwise their just extremist hypocrites, and generally full of crap.

I thought 97% of scientists said we had to do something or else we were doomed? Surely that's not a gross mischaracterization of what this alleged consensus actually is. That would be dishonest.

Like, do 97% of scientists think volcanoes warm the earth? If so, why aren't we proposing massive taxation and regulation of volcanoes? Or at least shutting them in?

The earth will be fine. Continuing to be habitable for humans is another matter

It will even still be habitable, just not in the couple hundred major cities along the coasts of the world.

Oh, so life on earth will cease to exist.

That's the left winged extremist crazy that is unfounded in science, at least on a non-geologic time scale.

Pfffffft

So, not denying the how, but denying that it is even happening at all?

Illiterate?

I guess so. Maybe you think PFFFt is an acronym?

“The data don’t matter. We’re not basing our recommendations [for reductions in carbon dioxide emissions] upon the data. We’re basing them upon the climate models.” Chris Folland of UK Meteorological Office

“Rather than seeing models as describing literal truth, we ought to see them as convenient fictions which try to provide something useful.” David Frame, climate modeler, Oxford University

It does seem kinda like asking the people who waited in line for 24 hours at the Apple store if the new iPhone they just picked up is a good one.

When they a proven wrong about their subject matter, yes, they "expire" in value. Unless you are trying to show what a dumbass climate denier keep bringing up to show their ignorance.

The subject matter of the quotes is the usefulness of the models. You say that's been proven wrong. I guess that fits the thread title, but not your haphazard kitchen sink posts in this thread.

You should strive to become coherent.
