After 40 yrs of man made global warming we should all be cooked , shouldn't we ?
What say you ?
1) you believe it's still warming
2) you believe it's real but should be called climate change
3) it's a hoax , always has been , always will be
3-ish
a couple volcanos can cause more disturbance than what mankind does
everything has been going in cycles from the beginning of man , we have lived much of recorded human time the last 3000 or so years in some small ice ages
what makes it a hoax is not the data , but the robbing this data to make that data and the insistence on doing it fast enough that you can't fully develop a trend
what is being done is a shift of one kind of energy to another , building stuff in mass , just to toss it out
if we were real about this , we would do less slight of hand in how we use and make energy and a lot more reduction of consumption
step 1 to just plain being more conscience of our consumption is to reduce consumption
of energy that generally means more insulation , we use a crazy amount of energy to heat and cool
what actually happens is they save pennies and call it dollars change
an excellent example is refrigerators , there was a test where they took an old 1950s refrigerator and put it on a kill-a-watt meter and did the same with a new fridge the new ones have much smaller motors so they show a reduced energy consumption UNTIL you run them 16 hours a day to cool the same thermal mass as the other fridge cools in 8 hours , now you have within a couple watts of consumption between the 2 , but remember one is 70 years old and worked the entire time , the other one you will be lucky to get 7 years out if , so you must also calculate in the energy consumption of building , transporting , recycling of it x10
now the 70 year old Fridge is way ahead of the new fridge that will need to be replaced every 7-10 years as they are non repairable.
someone figured out the change economy showed profits , constantly in a flux of change
Is there warming or change , sure there could be , but the way it is being treated really won't counter what they say the issue it
Diesel trucks are another good example Def and Regen really didn't make it better , it made it different and not in an all good way and the Government exempted all their vehicles from it
