But … but … but … what about the computer models?

But … but … but … the science is settled. [Al Gore, where are you, you little minx.]

Where is IPCC now that we really need it.

Hiyas

I’m sorry you feel that way.

Mostly, I’m home schooled.

My interest in climate started because in public school I had to watch Mr Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth”. I had to do a report on it.

In my report, I challenged Mr Gore. This was not what my public school teacher wanted or expected. I received an “F”

I politely ] asked if the Teacher would objectively review my claims and point out any faults, in my findings, before making my grade final.

A week later, my grade was finalized as an “A”

The Teacher / school no longer presents Mr Gore…

Thank you

Bad form, I know…please forgive me. I ran out of edit time.

PS: Actually, we not only had to watch it - parents were required to purchase a copy of it… “An Inconvenient Truth” - I still have it.

Good question. For me, it has been to re-evaluate energy consumption choices and look for ways that I spend money (and incidentally generate CO2) in ways that really minimally benefit my family. There’s no downside to having good home insulation, or buying a house the size you can use rather than one with rooms you never even use. I discovered that my stick shift 40mpg econo-beater is really not that much less enjoyable to drive than my 21mpg luxury sport sedan used to be (thank the economy for that discovery). 77 degree AC with ceiling fans feels as good as 74 degree without fans used to. Wearing sweaters all winter long (with lower furnace setting) hides my belly!

In short, we’ve been conditioned by a LOT of marketing to believe we can’t be happy without being wasteful. It’s not true. Some of the happiest people I’ve encountered in my life have been dirt poor and I’ve met some wretchedly miserable rich people. Why not life simpler and retire sooner? If it “saves the earth” along the way, bonus!

I agree completely, to me we all live in the midst of a lot of manipulative noise but prudence is the best policy, just as ever.

Why so dismissive?It IS a LEFTARD redistribution scheme.Communism failed so the socialists have jumped on this cause like fleas leaving a corpse and onto a nice warm dog.

“Lol” is hardly a devastating response.I believe my son would say “FAIL”.
