You're forgetting the globalist agenda that moved all manufacturing, and thus most emissions, to third world countries to make stuff for less. Stuff that we consume in massive amounts. As I said, China's pollution doesn't just exist in a vacuum, we directly contribute to it with our habits.
If I had chosen to die I wouldn't be here, driving one of these badass cars ;)
So you can't answer my question.
I agree that some of the doom and gloom predictions are a little excessive coming from the media, but again, there are scientific publications, not media publications, reviewed by highly educated peers that paint a not-so-great picture calling us to immediate action. I know of very little to the contrary. No one can be certain exactly when the worst will come, but it's pretty clear that we are already seeing consequences of increased carbon in the atmosphere, and that change is necessary.The picture below is obviously from fake news cnn but the point is still valid.
The loudest voices on climate change seem to be so wrong, so often. You don’t have to look back too far to read about the horrors of the coming climate cooling that was coming. Then it became global warming. Now it’s just climate change and every time there’s a hot day or a snowflake that falls it’s “evidence” of why. And there never seems to be any consequences for being wrong. I am all on board with caring for the planet and life that exists on it. But it has to be done within reason. Just picking arbitrary dates to turn off the use off fossil fuels is not realistic. Screaming that we have 10 years or else is not helpful as our heavy chested, light brained congresswoman from New York likes to do. As I’ve said before, you (not you personally) can’t tell me to make life changing sacrifices to my way of life if you are jetting to Europe for climate conferences. Why didn’t they all carpool on one jet? Or do zoom? Seemed to work for the rest of us the last 18 months during the pandemic. Another subject by the way that all of the science experts were often wrong about, and still continuously show their asses on a daily basis. Don’t tell me the sea levels are rising and we won’t have a coast! But then publish glowing stories about the beach front property that obama purchased in the hamptons. Maybe he’s only planning to stay there for 10 years before the climate erupts?
why are all of the science experts and political hacks so against nuclear? At the very least I don’t hear them supporting it. Awfully hard to not think there is an agenda at play…….that has nothing to do with the climate.
all predicated on the nonsense and indefensible position that the increased carbon is in any way a problem. The ENTIRE premise is conjecture with no basis in fact, observation or experiment. Co2 is not bad and life was vastly more vibrant when the levels were FAR, FAR higher than today.
i hate going down this hole since this is a forum for the great mustang but can you, or anyone for that matter, explain how one would go about testing, using the scientific method, the earth's climate? i always see the term climate science bandied about but in reality there is no such thing as climate science since at the most basic level we have no ability to control the variables we introduce to create experiments to disprove any hypothesis.
i think they are more than a little excessive
when you have supposedly serious people saying things with absolute certainty such as "10 years or else....." you can pretty much dismiss everything they are saying about the subject. as @shogun32 mentioned, just because something is credited with being a scientific publication does not carry the weight it once did. unfortunately science has been corrupted in the name of self interests amongst other things. i should clarify, the representation of the science has been corrupted. i agree with you that there was a time when one could reasonably point to a peer reviewed journal and feel pretty confident in its conclusions. now? everything has been poisoned. if you haven't read about this, you should look up james lindsay and the grievance studies project he worked on with a few other authors. of course the fake news media tried to dismiss it but what they found is not only hilarious but should be frightening as well. i don't see how we can observe so many doom and gloom predictions not play out only for the goalposts to move........how the "scientists" can be so wrong STILL about this whole covid mess.........and then see something as absurd as these fake papers that got published, and still toss up "peer reviewed journals" as some kind of ace in the hole. not saying thats what you are doing but my point is that we can no longer point to that as concrete evidence like we used to.you won't be able to unfortunately. people are not that bright. and because we elect incredibly stupid, corrupt scumbags to powerful positions this will never change. california just reelected a governor that can't literally keep the lights on, all while shutting down nuclear power for the state. he's sympathetic to which pronouns his constituents prefer though so maybe that will keep the everyone in the state warm this winter?
i'm absolutely sure what to do about it, but posting it would probably get me banned and labeled an insurrectionist. although it doesn't take much these days to catch that label.
Yes, and some of us are old enough to remember the climate cooling scare of the seventies.
..and it's a moot point for a ICE car enthusiast because no matter how much we may not accept it, electric cars and the death of gas are imminent. The 2023 Mustang will be hybrid. The Camaro will go away. The Challenger & Charger will go electric in 2024/2025. The Corvette C8 will offer a hybrid or full electric model (the architecture is already there).
There is wisdom in your words, young at heart.
I look forward to our EV future. Gasoline will be so cheap it'll probably be 10 cents a gallon. Why? you can't crack for diesel and not end up with gasoline and the lighter compounds. The refiners have to do something with the gasoline and they won't be allowed to flare it so maybe they'll pay me to burn it in my "irresponsible" ICE.
