Global Warming

[Exterminator]

I had two people drop due to heat stress in the last 3 days. I expect more to join them tonight.

But, "the weather is so nice". 

They have absolutely no concept of how weather patterns work or the things that affect them...things like cooler sea water as the result of melting ice at the poles temporarily providing milder weather in some areas, for example.  Their view is limited only to what they can personally see and/or feel by sticking their heads outside; hence, my simpleton comment.

Why do you say such foolish crap?  Again, you prove you simply do not know what you are talking about.  Sure, you honestly think you do, but I am here to tell you, you ARE wrong.

I have read numerous articles and have watch dozens of videos on this topic.  I understand how it all works.  I just have the foresight to realize a con game when I see it.

I fully believe we 100% do have Climate Change.  That is the way this earth operates. It has been changing since its birth.

Man is NOT directly responsible for these changes.  Raising taxes and employing a governing body to regulate the do's and don'ts is NOT going to fix this.  There is corruption involved in the scientific world all in the name of greed.

Ruining economies at the sake of offsetting carbon credits is about the most foolish idea to strike this nation.

As I have stated a billion times.........I am all for being good stewards of this earth and making it a cleaner place to live, but I think we need to be realistic about it.

Compared to LAST year it is fantastic!  Last year we had only 3 days under 90.  This year we have had only two or three above 90.  Next week is supposed to be back in the low 80's.  So Yeah, it IS INDEED nice weather.

Not to mention we've almost, or have, made up for the deficit in rainfall last year.

It is normal for this time of year.

Really?

Who or what has caused the deforestation of this country and the world?

Who or what has paved large areas causing them to be hotspots

Who or what has burned large amounts of fossil fuels thereby adding huge amounts of extra carbon to the atmosphere.

Insects?

Other primates?

Just who or what, Hank.

Think on that and you'll see just how ridiculous your statement is.

A company or person getting rich off of carbon credits so another company or person can pollute anyway while the rest of us are paying through the nose in taxes and for heat, lights, and water, is going to solve nothing.  And what about China where all the factories, or most of them, will move to and pollute more than they do now because there are no regulations there?  Things could end up worse simply because the government interfered in the wrong manner.

Y, there is NO proof that our weather pattern would be any different had we NEVER been here at all.....or that man made CO2 has cause significant changes.  NONE

I'm sure that sounded better in your head.

Unbelievable stupidity.  It's almost unfathomable.

Good call, the old "Kindergarden defense". "They do it so we can do it too".

The future of the world depends in the majority being smarter than that.

Funny how some of the most intelligent people I know (the owner of my company, engineers that work here,  whole-hearted agree with me, spot on. As a mater of fact outside the few on here, and the libs on TV, the vast majority of people I know feel that way.

This nation is divided on so many levels it is incredible.

Even if that were true, being considered intelligent by someone who thinks George W. Bush is a pretty smart guy is not a compliment.

Not really.  Let's take my dog club as a microcosmic example of the larger population as a whole.  It is ideologically split exactly on the line that is it educationally split.  Funny how that works out.

I generally find this to be true in my interactions with different segments of the population as well.

Guys, even though you have this conception you are better than I am, because I don't always use proper grammer....I work with some amazingly intelligent people....on a daily basis, and at least in this area, the liberal mindset is very much frowned upon.  Even the liberals I know very well, are NOT impressed with this POTUS and his policies.

Uh oh!  I see an opening for Bo D on that one similar to the one he got on 'me' yesterday.
