Makes you wonder about the so called "science" of climate change.

There are good books on the subject... "unsettled" by Steven Koonin does a deep dive into objective data/facts. Indeed many "conclusions" drawn from these facts are corrupted by ideology.We need to be skeptical about any result. That's the essence of science. In the case of climate research, there's a pretty solid base. Unfortunately, the interpretation by some is far from scientific.
Science seems to have gotten even more squishy over the decades. Climate is complex and beyond accurate computer modeling so far (data must be averaged over too large geographic areas to be accurate). As computers get more powerful these models may get better with more resolution.There's a part of the population that likes to announce the end of the world. Doesn't even matter what the subject is. I call it "anticipated schadenfreude". Thrown together with those who never see a problem, as long as it makes money, it results in a very thick smoke curtain over the science.

One proposed solution to the problem of global warming involves the seeding of the atmosphere with metallic particles. One technique proposed to seed the metallic particles was to add the tiny particles to the fuel of jet airliners, so that the particles would be emitted from the jet engine exhaust while the airliner was at its cruising altitude. While this method would increase the reflection of visible light incident from space, the metallic particles would trap the long wavelength blackbody radiation released from the earth. This could result in net increase in global warming. Source: https://patents.google.com/patent/US5003186A/en

In response to the above statement @crazydoc awarded me the tin foil hat I proudly wear today.
In the past I worked towards the development of a type of jet fuel product (JP-900). The elements listed (note that the above specs are exemplary and there will be variability) are not added but most likely carried through from the raw extracted fossil fuel (i.e. crude oil). Take a look at the elemental analysis of different crudes, tar sands for comparison.
Good (better) luck with recovery.Home was directly hit by a tornado last week, in Michigan of all places. Building damages being assessed but currently displaced. Probably not permanently homeless tho
Hope it gets repaired quickly. Nasty tornado season this year.Home was directly hit by a tornado last week, in Michigan of all places. Building damages being assessed but currently displaced. Probably not permanently homeless tho
It's always nasty if you are in the bullseye. There are more reported tornados these days but there is also much improved doppler weather radar capabilities that can ID rotating storm systems that haven't touched down yet or ever.Nasty tornado season this year.
weather is not climate.And obviously these posts are not veers...
Pity?How compassionate of you.I'm starting to pity Americans. The indoctrination is so deep you'll never recover.
As compared to other nations?Very sad for the few who still own their brain.
Maybe you can let some live with you...Of course, they are leaving the country if they can. It's those who understand and for some reason can't leave, that are in need of our compassion.
Indeed methane is likely worse than CO2, CO2 is vastly oversold as a threat.The largest threat to the climate are the numerous methane leaks. Methane is about thirty times as bad as CO2.
Surprised?It also doesn't get "recycled" by plants. Surprisingly, the biggest one isn't in the USA.
But the overall methane production of the leaky oil wells in the USA is much, much higher than that in the rest of the world. Add to that that US oil companies easily could fix those leaks, while fixing natural leaks in the rest of the world could be much more difficult. But there is no incentive for the US govt to force the petrol sector to abide to existing law. The fines are so tiny that it's just way cheaper to keep paying the fines.
https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/bi...nal-rule-cut-methane-emissions-strengthen-andwww said:EPA issued a final rule in December 2023 to sharply reduce methane emissions and other harmful air pollution from new and existing oil and gas operations. In addition, EPA is working to implement the three-part framework of the Inflation Reduction Act’s Methane Emissions Reduction Program.
First, EPA is partnering with the U.S. Department of Energy to utilize resources provided by Congress in the Inflation Reduction Act to provide over $1 billion dollars in financial and technical assistance to accelerate the transition to technologies that reduce methane emissions and may include funds for activities associated with marginal (i.e., low-producing) conventional wells, support for methane monitoring, and funding to help reduce methane emissions from oil and gas operations.
When the perma frost thaws...? How about the sea floor frozen Methane?When (notice, not: IF) the permafrost thaws, it will add millions of cmt of natural methane. Not as easy to avoid as today's leaks in oil production. That could even be the turning point.

https://news.mit.edu/2020/seafloor-methane-leakage-1130WWW said:By some estimates, seafloor methane contained in frozen formations along the continental margins may equal or exceed the total amount of coal, oil, and gas in all other reservoirs worldwide. Yet, the way methane escapes from these deep formations is poorly understood.

Oh dear.....
One government climate scientist made the mistake of blurting out the real end-game of so many radical environmental activists in a bid to preserve the planet: Killing off the human population. Bill McGuire, a Professor of Geophysical & Climate Hazards at University College London (UCL), authored a tweet Sunday that lamented the fact carbon emissions were not falling nearly as fast as needed and suggested solving the “climate crisis” with a deadly pandemic to wipe out swaths of the human population.
“If I am brutally honest, the only realistic way I see emissions falling as fast as they need to, to avoid catastrophic #climate breakdown, is the culling of the human population by a pandemic with a very high fatality rate,” he wrote.
Hopefully you also talk to Americans outside The Brewery.I'm starting to pity Americans. The indoctrination is so deep you'll never recover.
