Sorry, this one does not remember. You will have to refresh my memory.
Companies go into bankrupt all the time. Just ask Trump. It doesn’t mean Obama did it.
“Poured”? How much? Then compare that to other comparable government subsidized research.
Mainly from Exxon & Koch
And what do these people plan on doing if something really bad happens? Money is more important than their own lives?
I am just amazed how Republicans are in lock step on the climate issue. They all seem to start with being genuinely concern for the planet we inhabit. However, the moment they start getting ambitious and require money…
And big oil has no problem in funding willing Democrats, as well. Bill Clinton in 1992 received about as much from big oil as GH Bush. They don’t care about abortion or any of the other hot topic issues that motive voters; they only want a door into the Oval Office.
That’s great!!
Actually corps have greatly benefitted from gov-sponsored research over the decades.
Could this simply be the way politics works? I can recall some Democrats like Al Gore being pro-life early in their congressional careers, when in his case he represented Tennessee, a ‘red’ state, then doing an about-face when they were elevated to a higher, national office that required them to pledge fealty to other principles opposed to the ones that they had previously held.
There’s a group that actually did audit the placement of the temperature measuring instruments and they found the instruments read high because they are poorly placed very close to heat sources.The MMGW people will tell you they account for that. But I have never seen anything that absolutely convinces me of it.
But location can matter in other ways as well. Here in the Ozarks where I live, it gets significantly cooler in the hollows than on hilltops or prairies, and especially at night.
One of my favorite sights in the summer is to see the cool air flow down the stream valleys just after dark. It’s like a river, and fog flows downstream with it because the air above the stream is often cooler than the very top water. It’s like something in a fairy tale.
Where I live, if you want an apple orchard, you’ll plant it on hilltops. But if you want peaches, you’ll plant them in the bottoms because the ground stays cooler in the bottoms longer and you don’t get peach trees blossoming in February only to get the blossoms killed by frost. Or at least that’s your intent. Doesn’t always work.
But if you put your temperature measuring device in any kind of flow-way, you’ll get average lower temperatures year-round than if you put it on a hill top where there’s no downward flow of cool air and more retained radiation from the sun.
Also, strangely enough, rocks matter too. If you measure temperature on rocky ground, you’ll get higher temperatures on average than you will on clearer soil. Same with western slopes versus eastern slopes. Western slopes here are always warmer. So if you want early strawberries here, you’ll plant them on a rocky western slope. But you do run drought risk. If you want walnut trees or pecans, you’ll plant them on an eastern slope. Deeper soil, less droughtiness.
Maybe the people who do all this temperature measuring take those things into account, but I don’t know for a fact that they do.
By the names I could see it is a denialist site.
Actually it is. Science generally goes with 95% or more confidence on something, so that means there is a 5% or less chance they are wrong.
I don’t think we should have to accept the Democrats agenda on this since its not clearActually it is. Science generally goes with 95% or more confidence on something, so that means there is a 5% or less chance they are wrong.
Also, science requires both data evidence and theory – which they have for CC, which is based on laws of physics.
And if there are many many studies from different angles all coming to the same conclusion – which there is for CC – then it is said to be “robust.”
But there is always that outside chance we might not be greatly harming life on planet earth.
Best policy – hope for the best, expect the worst and do the needful.
It is not just a Democratic agenda.
