Clearly you cannot defend one internet rant against the myriad of evidence to the contrary. Here is my challenge: I’ll link an article related to climate change . . . my pick. And you attempt to dispute it.
And by the way, what has this to do with the “left.” I have not politicized any of my comments in this thread, but you have inferred something about the “left.” Previously, you inferred something about my supporting AOC’s position, of which I have never commented upon. I’d say that is pressing the envelope on misrepresentation. Or do you just say those things for, I don’t know, some purpose?
India is the next beast to rise with China the two together are close to 40% of the world population and their just getting started growing.
This is why the Paris accord is worthless.
Under the Paris climate agreement, India has set a target to reduce the emissions intensity of its economy by over 30%, compared with 2005 levels, by 2030.
But the country has continued building new coal plants, and oil imports are only rising as its growing population becomes more prosperous.
That’s hard to say since the world was embroiled in a war and we lacked satellites to be able to observe it anyway. But in 1940-42, the wooden hulled Canadian RCMP ship St. Roch was the first ship to transit the NW Passage from west to east and in 1944 made the return trip (e to w) through the northern route becoming the first ship to do so in a single season. Then in 1950, it became the first ship to circumnavigate North America. Having personally transited the NW Passage in 1969, I can say without question that that wooden ship could not have accomplished that if the ice conditions were not lighter than what we encountered.
At best, man is accountable for about 3-4% of the incremental CO2 in the atmosphere. And while increasing CO2 does create a positive feedback for warming, no definitive study has been done showing that the warming since the mid nineteenth century has been caused by the increase in CO2. Virtually every published study on global warming/climate change couches their conclusions with words like “if,” “may,” “could,” and “might.” There is no study that says “has,” “does,” “is,” and “will.” It is all scientific speculation, because they haven’t got any better answer.
