3. Why are we still driving gas vehicles and burning fossil fuel if this is what is gonna kill the earth?
New technologies take time to develop, but there have been breakthroughs in my lifetime with hybrid and electric vehicles.
Those most concerned about carbon footprints should be clamoring for us to build more nuclear power plants. What's the point of driving an electric vehicle if you're still using coal plants to generate the electricity to charge it?
Calc II was the highest I made it math. Mostly science classes in undergrad. Finished with a 3.5. Could have done better but work and, more likely, herbal studies resulted in a GPA ceiling.
Vector calculus and differential equations, along with linear and some abstract algebra. That doesn't make me an expert on climate change and there are plenty of disciplines where the average Trapperman poster can run circles around me.
I've found the working man to have a well-honed BS detector, based on intuition from practical, lived experience. That's why I don't want to shut them out of the conversation even if they don't have command of all the facts. They're still worth listening to.

I was initially on board with lockdowns for two weeks to "flatten the curve" but then two weeks came and went, and the lockdowns kept going on. Why should I trust these people who blatantly lied to me?
