Global Climate Changes

[Deeeefense]

Even though “Climate Change” is the new buzzword rather than “Global Warming”, I find it kind of funny people don’t realize India and China aren’t going to do anything to effectively change their energy practices. They’d rather we suffer economically so they can virtue signal. Maybe in 10 years we can celebrate all the doomsday predictions by meeting up and going skiing on Kilimanjaro.

You are right to point to China and India as the major culprits in fossil fuel combustion, especially China that needs all the energy they can muster to serve the growing economy, but somewhat to the credit they are spending 100 Billion a year on alt energy development. They just need energy period. With the coming boom in AI based systems in manufacturing and services , plus the increase in EVs world wide the demand for electric power is going to increase substantially. Here in the US we will need all the energy sources we have and can add including alt energy sources but also the new nuclear technology.

Also for clarity, Global Warming is what is occurring, Climate Change is the result of Global Warming.

I wonder how much of my tax dollars were funneled through USAID to the “climate scientists” tasked with providing support for the man made global warming narrative.

Yes, the climate scientists have all the money. Not the oil tycoons.

You mean climate science isn’t as lucrative as the oil business, and therefore the climate scientists are solely dependent on sources of revenue that aren’t supported by markets? And if climate scientists aren’t being granted money by governments to get conclusions that support more government, they wouldn’t have any money at all?

Yeah they’re probably totally independent.

The goal of global warming/climate change movement is to establish a world regulating body and redistribution of wealth. You can do the math from there. It has nothing to do with changing the climate.

$150B + wasn't enough for the tree huggers last year? What did you all spend it on?

7 trillion for subsidies in fossil fuels
-150 billion for renewables

Oil wins by 6,850,000,000,000


In 2022, global fossil fuel subsidies reached $7 trillion, which was a record high. This was equivalent to 7.1% of the world's gross domestic product (GDP).

Not one person is communicating on the thread without oil. As a product, it has probably saved more lives over history than any other product. Demeaning it is foolhardy and ignorant.

Without oil subsidies, one estimate for gas prices is $12.75 per gallon. Try and guess the harm that would do in this country. 🤦‍♂️

You didn't answer the question. This has nothing to do w/ oil.

For starters, liquid green hydrogen plants at about 12 locations around the country for around 1.5 billion.
