The Scott Pruitt "If the models are all wrong" thread

Hawaii -

Didn't alert the citizens

Didn't use the water (except for the wealthy enclaves) cus it's sacred

Didn't maintain the electrical grid

Didn't manage the fire

Didn't manage the natural resources that fueled the fires

But . . . decarbonization will stop fires.

If someone(s) is criminally negligent, we should can and prosecute their asses. However, I also have an inclination this came from Fox News, because my mom was preaching the same gospel during our weekly call.

Everything I don't like comes from my mom and Fox News (or Nazi's, Russians, Trump or MAGA) . . . #blogkaren aka Co-Captain of Team Not Knowing aka I trust all sources no matter how insane if it sounds anti-Republican/Trump - I trust nothing if it makes a #blueanon leader look bad (which means I spend a lot of time not trusting anything)

being required to pander to the absolute dregs of your base to have a chance to come in second in your party's vote is so rough ridin' sad

Sasse could have saved us, but he mumped off to Florida.

The best part of some of these kinds of posts is knowing that the posters are prolific fossil fuel users who have done little if anything to curb their lifestyle to reduce emissions. 

As they support politicians and talking heads who for the most part, are world class fossil fuel users. 

Buying an electric car (for example) does virtually nothing in terms of altering the path of our world's climate and the natural resource processes and the production processes of those vehicles are every bit as harmful if not more harmful to our planet than fossil fuel usage. Likely done on the backs of the most impoverished people in our world, living in the most austere settings, conducting operations utterly bereft of oversight and regulation on both the personal safety and environmental impact front.   

But, you feel better about yourselves and that's what matters most.

Dax, do you believe in human-caused climate change?

[sonofdaxjones]

Dax, do you believe in human-caused climate change?

Not in the sense that a trace gas is causing irreparable harm to our world.  We need that trace gas to survive.

Now, if want to talk about things like land use, erosion, pesticides, third world countries dumping tons of plastics in the oceans and China and India pouring ungodly levels of particulate into the air, I'm your huckleberry. 

What about you StalkerBot.7?

[star seed 7]

My answer is "yes", no need for additional qualifiers

[sonofdaxjones]

There was really no need to answer, I already knew.

If you want an example of what too much of that trace gas can do to an atmosphere, check out the surface temps on Venus  (hotter than on Mercury!) 

[sonofdaxjones]

Clearly billions of 1st world living Venusites were the problem - SUV's, jets, prime beef, coal power plants, the works

Here on Earth - I don't think Mother Nature is going to give a single solitary eff about net zero, but I know you little nut jobs are going to do everything you can to encounter that reality.

Am I huffing paint or did you just agree with him then mock him because you both believe the same thing?

[sonofdaxjones]
