Good lordie, this is the biggest pile of Aggiecrap next to the U of U

You are so wrong on so many levels. This is absolute hogwash. But if you slopped up this dribble then there may be no hope. Source? MASTERS OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE from BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY.

Here we go:
a few things from this geologist

  • You need a climatologist to have a credible debate on the science of climate.  Why do I have to explain this? Would you go to a podiatrist to get your eyes check out? 

  • There are extremely advance climate modeling that is on the scale of the stock market prediction and most AI programs. A geologist is not trained (normally) on these models nor software to use them. 

the Co2 org:

  • This is not a credible, reputable organization. it has a board made up of lots of PhDs... but none of them are Climatologist! nor anything to do with weather! Please, tell me I dont have to explain this. 


Natural warming and cooling throughout earths history. Man's impact on current warming is real but teeny tiny

  • No, man's impact is HUGE. We are at ~400ppm of CO2 in the atmosphere, where is has historically be at less than ~300pmm. A 33% increase in about ~150 years is not an anomaly, and is not natural. It is entirely due to the industrial revolution and use of fossil fuels (oil, coal, gas). No volcanic event nor sun spot cycle can have this kind of impact over this long.

  • https://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/carbon-dioxide/?intent=121

 and not a problem.

  • It's an enormous problem. A few quick examples;

climate/green government spending is grift, theft, a secret combination if you to line pockets not solve anything.

  • Whatever,  I'm not going to counter you on your opinion. For every failed green project using federal money, I can also show you several failed Naval projects (Zumwalts), Air Force projects (F22), NASA project (Starliner). Notice I am using the same agencies I cited above? Government waste or special interest is not limited to any agency, budget, or regulation. Why you think 'green spending' is a secret combination is beyond me. 


agriculture thrives as earth warms. Crop yields explode as earth warms.

  • Sigh, obviously plants grow in warm weather. But they grow in dynamic systems that are not just dependent on temperature. Ask any gardener about composting, any farmer about fertilizer, any forester about pests, etc. Please dont be redactive and say "warm earth = good".  


the growing season has increase two weeks since 1900

  • I don’t doubt this, but that's not necessarily a good thing. Are you ok that two more weeks of good growing weather also means mosquitos are more active?


cold kills 20-times more people than heat.

  • Again, nothing to debate here, but  why is that an argument to say climate change is wrong/bad/fake?

 

the great ancient civilizations arose & thrived in warmer periods and collapsed entering cooling periods.

  • Lamanites were lead by the Night King and had White Walkers in their army! 

 

Let me point to concrete and indisputable facts.

Please, stop believing the first thing your hear from some random youtuber and book author. Remember what your parents said about "don't believe everything you see on television?" It's true for Youtube too! Climate change is real. Climate change is caused by mankind. Investing in green energy is a huge opportunity nto just for warm fuzzy planet feeling, but also (not limited to) keeping our enemies contained in critical economic sectors. We need more energy than ever! Especially since we will automate, use AI, and electrify whole industries. This is not a scam, and I seriously ask you to see what makes you believe this is some conspiracy. Your retirement has solar and wind energy projects in its portfolio, I guarantee it. Stop being afraid of some make-up elite cabal that wants to rule the world when it's you benefiting from this energy revolution. 

Now dont get me started on how this will affect our kids, grand-kids, help us be wise stewards of the Lord’s creation… etc. This is about pure dollar and cents!
