It's been Obvious for a long time..
Really people, learn how to see past the lies.

The medieval warm period is destroyed by Mann.
He's toast now.
And soon, maybe the simpering Snowflakes will distance themselves from the lies.
Naaaah, even when they get straight up Admissions of lies, they don't admit it.

There are REASONS why the Raw Data never see daylight.
We are being gamed.
OnceafukkinGAIN.

Nobody SAYS we Have Had NO IMPACT.
The question is
What percentage
And
What would mitigate it ENOUGH to be effective?

What are they telling us they want to do


Carbon TAXES,

We won't be able to run air conditioners after a few years of Rising Carbon TAXES.

What's YOUR suggestion?

You DID read that, right?
You know they Adjust data.
Are you unaware of the medieval warm period?
Mann HIDES it.

Archeologists have found Orchards North of Where they Can Grow NOW.

OKAY.
LOGICAL thinking time..

If it was warm enough for orchards to exist NORTH of Where they can grow NOW, it's COOLER NOW than it was when Knights were jousting.

Aaand, HEERES a question..

Since the Climate was Warmer back then, and that was BEFORE the SUBs, then the only SCIENTIFIC CONCLUSION is
NATURAL EVENTS can cause Global Warming.

Now, CO2 gets Pumped INTO greenhouses.

So,SINCE CO2 AIDS plant growth, we can expect more trees and plants THAT SHADE THE EARTH and Eat CO2.

You're panicking over nothing.

Behind the Hockey Stick

Seven years ago Michael Mann introduced a graph that became an iconic symbol of humanity's contribution to global warming. He has been defending his science ever since



Quote:
"From an intellectual point of view, these contrarians are pathetic, because there's no scientific validity to their arguments whatsoever," Mann says. "But they're very skilled at deducing what sorts of disingenuous arguments and untruths are likely to be believable to the public that doesn't know better."

Mann thinks that the attacks will continue, because many skeptics, such as the Greening Earth Society and the Tech Central Station Web site, obtain funds from petroleum interests. "As long as they think it works and they've got unlimited money to perpetuate their disinformation campaign,"



So funny that you choose to believe Big Energy funded information over real science...
You really think they are impartial?...
Billion dollar interests are telling you what to think... :-/

Sigh....

https://www.skepticalscience.com/medieval-warm-period.htm

..the Medieval Warm Period has known causes which explain both the scale of the warmth and the pattern. It has now become clear to scientists that the Medieval Warm Period occurred during a time which had higher than average solar radiation and less volcanic activity (both resulting in warming). New evidence is also suggesting that changes in ocean circulation patterns played a very important role in bringing warmer seawater into the North Atlantic. This explains much of the extraordinary warmth in that region. These causes of warming contrast significantly with today's warming, which we know cannot be caused by the same mechanisms.

An Inconvenient Truth

Three weeks or so ago, we all got a good laugh from the New York Times fretting that China was in the process of seizing "climate leadership" from the United States.  As reported here on June 8, Pravda had just reported that China was aiming to win the "economic and diplomatic spoils" that would come from dominating the world markets for wind and solar energy.  Of course, this was big front-page news.

But wind and solar as sources of electricity are intermittent and fundamentally useless to power a 24/7/365 grid.  Are the Chinese really this stupid?  Or are they just putting up some token Potemkin village demonstration projects to deceive the deluded climate cultists into pressuring the U.S. to hobble its economy, even as China floods the world with hundreds of more coal plants?

Today's Pravda has the answer.  Of course, since the answer is inconvenient, it's not big front-page news, but rather buried on page A10.  The headline is "As Beijing Joins Climate Fight, Chinese Companies Build Coal Plants."   It seems that a German consultancy called Urgewald has gone out and compiled data on plans for new power plants around the world.  The compilation comes after a recent highly-publicized announcement that China had scaled back plans to build coal power plants, and had canceled more than 100 of them that had previously been planned.  That's "climate leadership"!  But according to the Urgewald data, even after the cancelations China seems to be gearing up to build some 700 new coal plants, both in China itself and in countries around the world:

China’s energy companies will make up nearly half of the new coal generation expected to go online in the next decade.  These Chinese corporations are building or planning to build more than 700 new coal plants at home and around the world, some in countries that today burn little or no coal, according to tallies compiled by Urgewald, an environmental group based in Berlin.

To give you an idea of the scale of this, the U.S. currently has around 600 coal generation units, of which close to 50 are currently scheduled for closure.  So, what the Chinese companies have in the pipeline for just the next few years is more than the entire U.S. capacity for generating electricity from coal.

And, of course, China is not the only one out there building new coal plants:

Over all, 1,600 coal plants are planned or under construction in 62 countries, according to Urgewald’s tally, which uses data from the Global Coal Plant Tracker portal. The new plants would expand the world’s coal-fired power capacity by 43 percent.  The fleet of new coal plants would make it virtually impossible to meet the goals set in the Paris climate accord, which aims to keep the increase in global temperatures from preindustrial levels below 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit.

Did you somehow have the impression that the Trump administration was going to destroy the world's environment by declining to join the Paris climate agreement and failing to cut back U.S. carbon emissions by around 25%?  Well, how is this even relevant to anything when the rest of the world is currently in the process of planning and building some three times as many coal electricity plants as the U.S. ever had?  See if you can find the answer to that question anywhere in Pravda!

The whole climate thing is quickly devolving into a game where countries around the world make preposterous and obviously false statements of intent to appease the climate cultists, while at the same time going ahead and developing the fossil fuel resources -- particularly coal -- just as fast as possible.  I just hope that you appreciate the humor.

The ScienTISTS made dire predictions.
The Arctic is now ice free.
Well, no.
The hurricanes have been bigger, more destructive and more of them.
Well, noo, not exactly..

So, why are the continual WARNINGS listened to?
How long do you bow and scrape to Be PC before you admit
They haven't been RIGHT?
Why continue to pretend they are credible?
Their most dire predictions not only HaVen't happened,
They are inverted in the observed reality.
Florida went, what? Ten YEARS not pounded by a hurricane?
How many Scientific Expeditions to Prove what horrors exist have to be rescued by ICEBREAKERS before you start questioning the validity of the Fearmongers?

Naturophobics sharing their fears and screaming in unison won't change the Fact that
The warnings have been bullshit.

See below. So Turkey will pull out of the Paris Climate scheme because the number one mark in this con, The United States, was smart enogh to figure out this was never about anything other than money. But climate scientists are pure as snow and would never mislead us for their own selfish gain....

The US decision to pull out of the Paris climate agreement means Turkey is less inclined to ratify the deal because the US move jeopardises compensation promised to developing countries, President Tayyip Erdogan said on Saturday.

Erdogan was speaking at the G20 summit in Germany where leaders from the world’s leading economies broke with US President Donald Trump over climate policy, following his announcement last month that he was withdrawing from the accord.

Erdogan said that when Turkey signed the accord France had promised that Turkey would be eligible for compensation for some of the financial costs of compliance.

Why do you push so hard against someone asking valid questions?

Even the Prophets of your Climate Religion admit their predictions have all been wrong, but they just blame it on obscure conditions that apparently weren't revealed to them before. Now they promise disaster is just around the corner and you must believe them this time.

You guys remind me of some Churches in 1999 who were positive Y2K was the start of the end times. When it came and went, they merely adjusted a few variables in their calculations, predicted a new end date in the future and posted a new link to send donations....

If you can sit there and deny that Man (all 7 billion of us) has had no effect on the Planet - you're delusional.  It's impossible for us NOT to have an effect.

I think mankind has a small impact on climate. I think every reasonable person would agree to that which is why you get the infamous 97% number. But it's seems tiny compare to what we've been told we are responsible for.

Why do you push so hard against someone asking valid questions?

Are you so foolish you reject the possibility that professors and scientist are just as corruptible? Oil executives are demons but climate scientist are angels? Have you read nothing of the scientist who've lost careers because they didn't toe the line? You don't think the threat of being blackballed has the potential to influence them?

Oil companies etc... are behind wind, solar etc...  It's a business decision, but mostly a decision based on PR. Oil companies know, as does most everyone else (including those in renewable energy) that wind and solar have a ceiling and it's a low ceiling at that.

Even the Prophets of your Climate Religion admit their predictions have all been wrong, but they just blame it on obscure conditions that apparently weren't revealed to them before. Now they promise disaster is just around the corner and you must believe them this time.

Science and the Church are much closer that you, but regardless, my analogy is darn near perfect. Look how you all want to shut off debate.

Again, you don't think scientist and academia have made millions? Why is Turkey pulling out? The money's no longer there. Corrupt people are corrupt regardless of whose side of the debate their on. People questioning climate change are losing their careers, not building careers.

Climate change is nothing like that - again... bad analogy.

-If you can sit there and deny that Man (all 7 billion of us) has had no effect on the Planet - you're delusional.  It's impossible for us NOT to have an effect.

No one said that. That's your fallback, straw man argument.

We are leading. We are not being fooled into redistributing our wealth. China is leading the charge..... in coal plant construction. the paris agreement exempted them for 10 years, India too. We should damage our economy, increase the wealth of our competitors all for a hypothetical fraction of a degree?  Telling them to kiss off and go back to the drawing board is leading.

I think mankind has a small impact on climate. I think every reasonable person would agree to that which is why you get the infamous 97% number. But it's seems tiny compare to what we've been told we are responsible for.

You didn't answer the question.  The rate of change is at issue.  Do you believe that it's cause for concern?

Why do you push so hard against someone asking valid questions?

-I don't - but I'd rather err on the side of conservation.  If the giant oil companies and other corporations got behind solar, wind, etc., would you feel different?  What's wrong with being proactive?

Are you so foolish you reject the possibility that professors and scientist are just as corruptible? Oil executives are demons but climate scientist are angels? Have you read nothing of the scientist who've lost careers because they didn't toe the line? You don't think the threat of being blackballed has the potential to influence them?

Sorry, I don't believe in such crazy conspiracies.  I do know that the main lobbyists for denial are funded heavily by big oil.  To me, that's more cause for concern.  It's also concerning that the establishment right wing is behind the denial as well.  Two red flags that are hard to miss.

Oil companies etc... are behind wind, solar etc...  It's a business decision, but mostly a decision based on PR. Oil companies know, as does most everyone else (including those in renewable energy) that wind and solar have a ceiling and it's a low ceiling at that.

Says who?  Oh yea.,. oil and coal companies!!  LOL . The fact is, the entire planet gets ALL the energy it has ever had, or will ever have, from the sun.  Yes, even geothermal, tidal and wind can be traced back to the good old sun.  So to say that there's a "ceiling" - that's kind of absurd.  The true "ceiling" or actually "basement" is fossil fuels.  They are indeed finite and non-replenishable.

Even the Prophets of your Climate Religion admit their predictions have all been wrong, but they just blame it on obscure conditions that apparently weren't revealed to them before. Now they promise disaster is just around the corner and you must believe them this time.

-Again, what's wrong with being proactive?

You guys remind me of some Churches in 1999 who were positive Y2K was the start of the end times. When it came and went, they merely adjusted a few variables in their calculations, predicted a new end date in the future and posted a new link to send donations....

-LOL - well, science and the church could not be further apart... bad analogy.

Science and the Church are much closer that you, but regardless, my analogy is darn near perfect. Look how you all want to shut off debate.

Shut off - not at all... In fact, I continue

-If you remember, it wasn't the churches that made the dire predictions, it was the big corporations.  The Y2K "bug" was one of the biggest scams ever.  Companies bilked other, larger companies out of millions of dollars in eradicating the "bug".  

Again, you don't think scientist and academia have made millions? Why is Turkey pulling out? The money's no longer there. Corrupt people are corrupt regardless of whose side of the debate their on. People questioning climate change are losing their careers, not building careers.

Tell that to all the billionaire scientists... oh, wait..  Please show me the lists of those questioning climate change losing their jobs.

Climate change is nothing like that - again... bad analogy.

-If you can sit there and deny that Man (all 7 billion of us) has had no effect on the Planet - you're delusional.  It's impossible for us NOT to have an effect.

No one said that. That's your fallback, straw man argument.

Not a strawman - it's actually a fact.  Humans do indeed affect the Earth on a daily basis.

-So - why not err on the side of conservation?  Hey - even if it's not as bad as the scientists think it is - look at China.  They're in line to make hundreds of billions on the world market in solar.  The US should be leading that charge, don't you think?

We are leading. We are not being fooled into redistributing our wealth. China is leading the charge..... in coal plant construction. the paris agreement exempted them for 10 years, India too. We should damage our economy, increase the wealth of our competitors all for a hypothetical fraction of a degree?  Telling them to kiss off and go back to the drawing board is leading.

Anyway - I'll stick with the scientists' view.


Fine, I agree. Look up scientist who pose genuine questions about the fact that climate change has been seriously over-estimated.


I have - I still side with the proven climate scientists.

You didn't answer the question.  The rate of change is at issue.  Do you believe that it's cause for concern?

-No. It's miniscule. I'm 56 and have traveled the country and to a lesser extend the world, since I was in my 20's. I can't see any difference anywhere. And neither can you.

You don't honestly believe Judith Curry was funded by big oil and that's why she spoke up and lost her job?  You think Francis Menton of the Manhattan Contrarian is a secret big oil employee?

-Says me. I see it all the time. In my work, we use the sustainability angle and we all know it's BS.   Yes, there's a ceiling. Just like there's a ceiling in anything mechanical. We can never have flying cars and spaces ships that zip in and out of orbit that are popular in science fiction for example. It's fun to think about and watch NASA make little jet packs suits a guy can fly around in for a few minutes. But our physical world will not allow the ships in "Close Encounters" for example.  There is a mechanical ceiling that we'll bump up against. We'll make improvements no doubt but we'll hit a limit. How soon is anyone's guess.  And there's a ceiling for solar energy. We've been at this for 30 or 40 years and it's a fraction of our energy. We can spend billions and billions to move up a few percentage points.

Not a strawman - it's actually a fact.  Humans do indeed affect the Earth on a daily basis.

The question is: Is the majority of the temperature increase we see (and we do see it. 15,000 years ago, the Great Lakes were nothing but ice so no one disputes the earth has/is warming) due to CO2 in the atmosphere due to fossil fuels? Plenty of scientist say NO to that question.

http://climate.nasa.gov/news/2436/co2-is-making-earth-greenerfor-now/

(skepticalscience.com)
What would be the effects of an increase of CO2 on agriculture and plant growth in general?

1. CO2 enhanced plants will need extra water both to maintain their larger growth as well as to compensate for greater moisture evaporation as the heat increases. Where will it come from? In many places rainwater is not sufficient for current agriculture and the aquifers they rely on are running dry throughout the Earth (1, 2).

On the other hand, as predicted by climate research, we are experiencing more intense storms with increased rainfall rates throughout much of the world. One would think that this should be good for agriculture. Unfortunately when rain falls in short, intense bursts it does not have time to soak into the ground. Instead, it  quickly floods into creeks, then rivers, and finally out into the ocean, often carrying away large amounts of soil and fertilizer.

2. Unlike Nature, our way of agriculture does not self-fertilize by recycling all dead plants, animals and their waste. Instead we have to constantly add artificial fertilizers produced by energy-intensive processes mostly fed by hydrocarbons, particularly from natural gas which will eventually be depleted. Increasing the need for such fertilizer competes for supplies of natural gas and oil, creating competition between other needs and the manufacture of fertilizer. This ultimately drives up the price of food.

3. Too high a concentration of CO2 causes a reduction of photosynthesis in certain of plants. There is also evidence from the past of major damage to a wide variety of plants species from a sudden rise in CO2 (See illustrations below). Higher concentrations of CO2 also reduce the nutritional quality of some staples, such as wheat.

4. As is confirmed by long-term  experiments, plants with exhorbitant supplies of CO2 run up against  limited availability of other nutrients. These long term projects show that while some plants exhibit a brief and promising burst of growth upon initial exposure to C02, effects such as the  "nitrogen plateau" soon truncate this benefit

5. Plants raised with enhanced CO2 supplies and strictly isolated from insects behave differently than if the same approach is tried in an otherwise natural setting. For example, when the growth of soybeans is boosted out in the open this creates changes in plant chemistry that makes these specimens more vulnerable to insects, as the illustration below shows.

6. Likely the worst problem is that increasing CO2 will increase temperatures throughout the Earth. This will make deserts and other types of dry land grow. While deserts increase in size, other eco-zones, whether tropical, forest or grassland will try to migrate towards the poles. Unfortunately it does not follow that soil conditions will necessarily favor their growth even at optimum temperatures.

In conclusion, it would be reckless to keep adding CO2 to the atmosphere. Assuming there are any positive impacts on agriculture in the short term, they will be overwhelmed by the negative impacts of climate change.

Added CO2 will likely shrink the range available to plants while increasing the size of deserts. It will also increase the requirements for water and soil fertility as well as plant damage from insects.

Increasing CO2 levels would only be beneficial inside of highly controlled, enclosed spaces like greenhouses.

-I side with the proven climate scientist who say manmade climate change due to co2 from fossil fuels is overstated. The evidence is more on their side than the other side.

Rate of change.

=The IPCC reports estimating global temperatures have been wrong every time. I think they've issued 5 since they started, maybe more. Now they are telling you the same thing again and it never occurs to you to think they've been wrong every single time?....

It's said you can't argue with a religious zealot and I think that's the case here. Go bow to your climate change God.


Climate change is based in science, not God - nice try.

But the RATE OF TEMPERATURE CHANGE is the crux!!

=How could you know the rate of change associated with CO2 if you don't know the natural rate of change? The historical temperatures are unknown, they are estimates. As has been pointed out by the Climategate emails, they were changed to hide the decline.

Have at it!!

=Nope. Bet me. $100 bucks. It’s not your country.

Scientists thought (at the time) it was unbreakable!!!  That's a FACT!!!  Sheesh!!  Lol

=No they didn’t! Whips break the sound barrier when you snap them. The props on airplanes break the sound barrier. They knew and understood this.


I give, you win. You've successfully convinced me that by being wrong about almost everything we've discussed, you at right.
So I will be like you. The IPCC scientist have told you the temp would be X. In reality it's currently X-Y. And they've done this to you over and over again. You however believe everything they say. You have been wrong over and over again in this thread. So I choose to believe you know what you're talking about despite all evidence to the contrary.

Indirect ways of assessing past temperatures, using so-called temperature proxies, take measurements of responses to past temperature change that are preserved in natural archives such as ice, rocks and fossils.

The historical temperatures are unknown, they are estimates. As has been pointed out by the Climategate emails, they were changed to hide the decline.

Like I said - you do you.  You think I'm wrong - I think you're wrong.  That's never gonna change apparently.

I personally want to err on the side of caution.  I'll support lowering emissions, and increasing funding to cleaner energy.  I see the alternative as unsustainable and damaging.  I think that Man has caused the rapid elevation of Earth's temperature.  I can see more science supporting it than not.

I also take comfort in the fact that I will try and change for the betterment of the Planet than to turn a blind eye to it.

So.... Let's say it is all a hoax - I'd STILL rather try to find alternatives to fossil fuels.

Post by WebsterMark on 07/11/17 at 05:34:56

Putting this Mann thread to bed; a couple of important points.

One guy responsible for the original global warming charade taking off is the guy this thread's titled after, Michael Mann. He filed two libel suits after articles appeared saying he basically made stuff up to make his infamous hockey stick graph work.

In both cases, he's refused to provide his data during the discovery part of the pre-trial. So the writers said his data was false, he sued for libel but now refuses to show the original data.... Hmmmmm   Yea, he lied.

So, for Sew and TT who seem to impose near angelic status on anyone claiming to be a climate scientist, one of the original architects of GW created false data and that helped to kick off the greatest scientific fraud in history....

Secondly, from Manhattan Contrarian. (whom you should all read by the way;http://manhattancontrarian.com/  ).  Basically, the temps are back where they were in the 80's and 90's. And if you read thru the rest of his stuff, he post all the temp readings and the MARGIN OF ERROR showing how all these headlines that we've just head the hottest June etc.... are BS because the temp difference in so tiny and within the margin of error.

With the breakup of last year's big El Niño, global temperatures declined significantly.  The latest global temperature anomaly from the UAH satellite temperature series is +0.21 deg C for June 2017 -- down a remarkable 0.65 deg C from the February 2016 global anomaly of +0.86 deg C.  The Northern Hemisphere anomaly dropped even more, by 0.86 deg C, from +1.19 deg C to only +0.32 deg C.  Those declines represent well more than half of the entire warming that had been present in the satellite record at the peak of the El Niño, and bring recent temperatures below those recorded during many months in the 1980s and 90s.  It's no wonder that the breathless press releases from NASA and NOAA trumpeting "hottest [April, May, June, etc.] ever!" have at least temporarily ceased.

Title: Re: Mann Down!
Post by WebsterMark on 07/11/17 at 05:41:43

I lied. One last thing on this climate change thread and then off to work.

Trump should be on Mt. Rushmore today, why wait? He saved all of us an incredible amount of money and did his part to maintain our prosperity by pulling out of the Paris Agreement. Why?

There's a phrase, the Devil's in the Details. Check out below from someone who did the research to determine exactly what was in this 'agreement'.

As a basic starting point, I suggest that on any story of political importance in the New York Times, the truth is probably exactly the opposite of what they report.  Consider that lead story on the front page of yesterday's Sunday print edition: "World Leaders Move Forward on Climate Change, Without U.S."   Scary!  The U.S. is getting completely isolated from the world community!

In a final communiqué at the conclusion of the Group of 20 summit meeting in Hamburg, Germany, the nations took “note” of Mr. Trump’s decision to abandon the pact and “immediately cease” efforts to enact former President Barack Obama’s pledge of curbing greenhouse gas emissions 26 to 28 percent below 2005 levels by 2025.  But the other 19 members of the group broke explicitly with Mr. Trump in their embrace of the international deal, signing off on a detailed policy blueprint outlining how their countries could meet their goals in the pact.  

You can definitely count on Pravda not to look into what these other 19 countries have promised to do and let you know if there is any substance to it.  So the hard work falls once again to the Manhattan Contrarian.  If you just Google the letters "INDC" ("Intended Nationally Determined Contribution") along with the name of a country, you can find out exactly what that country has promised to do as part of the Paris Agreement.  So let's take a look at what a few of the big countries are up to.

•China.  We already know that answer from my post just last week.  China, through its companies, is planning to build over the course of the next decade or so well more than double the number of coal power plants that the U.S. has today.  Its INDC calls for its proceeding to increase carbon emissions as much as it wants through 2030, and only then (when everyone in China presumably has electricity and a couple of cars)  to level things off.  By that time its emissions will probably be at least triple those of the U.S.

•India.  India's INDC openly admits that it intends to increase its electricity supply by more than triple between now and 2030, with no commitment whatsoever as to how much of that will come from fossil fuels.  Oh, they say that they plan to lower the "emissions intensity" of their energy generation, and greatly expand (useless) wind and solar capacity, as well as nuclear.  Whoopee!

•Indonesia.   These things get more comical the more of them you read.  The first thing you learn in reading Indonesia's INDC is that the large majority of its emissions come from burning down the rain forest ("most emissions (63%) are the result of land use change and peat and forest fires") and very little from using fossil fuels for energy ("fossil fuels contribute[e] approximately 19% of total emissions").  So they'll promise to burn down less of the rain forest, and nothing whatsoever as to reducing use of fossil fuels for energy.  Their (completely illusory) "reduction target" of 29% by 2030 is not against a fixed amount of past usage (like the United States' benchmark of 2005 emissions), but rather is against what they call a "business as usual" scenario of projected future emissions that are a multiple of today's.

•Russia.  What, you didn't know that Russia was a member of the G20?  What is the chance that Russia would make an honest promise about emissions reductions?  Their INDC calls for reducing emissions by 25-30% below 1990 by 2030.  Impressive!  Wait a minute!  The Soviet Union collapsed in 1991.  Then they closed down all that inefficient Soviet industry.  According to a graph at Climate Action Tracker here, by 2000 their emissions were down by almost 40% from the 1990 level, and they have only crept up a little from there since.  In other words, Russia's supposed "commitments" again represent increases from today's level of emissions.  Yet another total scam.

•Germany.  Germany is part of the supposed EU commitment to reduce emissions by 40% below 1990 levels by 2030.  Oh, but now that Germany has gotten its electricity production from renewables up to about 30%, it seems that it has hit a wall, and its carbon emissions have actually gone up for both of the last two years (2015 and 2016), according to Clean Energy Wire.  Exactly how do they plan to meet their goal?  Excellent question.

Strawman:  an intentionally misrepresented proposition that is set up because it is easier to defeat than an opponent's real argument.

Well, when web said "Cutting fossil fuel emissions means relegating them to poverty." - that's untrue - a strawman.  

According to the Paris Agreement, the burden is less on underdeveloped countries.

If you are unable to see the weight of the restrictions is on us, while China and India and others get to go without restrictions, well, I can't say I'm surprised.

Trade deals?  What trade deals?  Are there trade deals attached to the accord that I missed?

I can see quite clearly - but it's a moot point now, isn't it.  Our president, in his infinite wisdom, has pulled out of the agreement.  I personally think it's a bad idea.  His team thinks it will somehow strengthen the US.  What they fail to see is the global economy we live in now... and if things keep going the way they are, the US will less of a world power.

Ridiculous. No one will pass up a business opportunity in the US because Trump wisely refused to screw over his nation. You cant have your cake and eat it too. On one hand, you can't say evil business men will do anything for a buck and on the other hand, say they'll bypass profits to follow an unenforceable agreement.

Other nations and a few stupid governors will say they'll honor the agreement, they won't.

LOL - the word "wisely" and our president should never be used in the same sentence.  To think that it was his idea to pull out of the agreement is silly.  Look at the speech he gave - obviously written by someone other than him.

So says you... that's just your opinion.  I've shared mine too.

In the Paris Agreement, each country determines, plans and regularly reports its own contribution it should make in order to mitigate global warming.[5] There is no mechanism to force[6] a country to set a specific target by a specific date,[7] but each target should go beyond previously set targets.

In 2017, President Donald Trump withdrew the United States from the agreement, causing widespread condemnation in the European Union and many sectors in the United States.

In July 2017, France’s environment minister Nicolas Hulot announced France’s five-year plan to ban all petrol and diesel vehicles by 2040 as part of the Paris Agreement. Hulot also stated that France would no longer use coal to produce electricity after 2022 and that up to €4bn will be invested in boosting energy efficiency.[8]

Looks like a buncha fluff over reality.
When they eliminate coal, I'll look at what they replaced it with. Nukular is as dumb an idea as any I've seen.

No president writes their own and remember Obama couldn't even do a press conference w/o a TelePrompTer so you can forget that useless crap and stay on topic.

No, not useless crap - very legitimate in this context.  Our president has all the intelligence of a radish when compared to Obama.

Further, anytime that Obama was off prompter, he was deliberate and articulate. Our current president?  Not so much.

Hmm, not sure what you mean by writing "nukular", but whatever..

Nuclear is far cleaner and more efficient than gas or coal.  Yes, there are many drawbacks, but there is much room for improvement - molten salt reactors, better safeguards, etc.

Don't be so quick to dismiss the possibility of fusion either.

I wish for fusion.
The environmental Cost of building a nuke plant is very high.
If the goal is lower carbon, gotta consider everything.
I'm not gonna be supportive of nukes. Never did agree with that. The waste Stays Waste for too long and IF there's a problem, it can be a Really BIG problem.
