The Global Warming thread.

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Let's parse this out, the supposed rear admiral:

Doesn't know the difference between the ocean and a reservoir,
Doesn't know that storms weaken considerably several hundred km inland,
Doesn't know that there is no coal mining under the ocean,
Doesn't think that the Chinese (or anyone else) would account for the likely impact of storms,
Can't understand a mass market article,
Doesn't know that "global warming" and "climate change" are both used accurately and why,
Doesn't know that storm strengths, though not necessarily frequency, have undeniably "increased dramatically" because of AGW.

I don't think he would be safe with toy boats in a kiddie pool.

Doesn't know the difference between the ocean and a reservoir
Tu-tu Guy is too ignorant to know that a violent storm can occur on any large body of water

Doesn't know that storms weaken considerably several hundred km inland,
Tu-tu Guy is too ignorant to know that every violent storm is not necessarily a typhoon
Example: Author Michael Keene (in a book he authored) commented that the Sea of Galilee was known for its sudden and fierce storms.

Doesn't know that there is no coal mining under the ocean,
Tu-tu Guy is too ignorant to know that a flooded former coal-mining region wasn't under the ocean, nor this particular body of water is not near the ocean.

Doesn't think that the Chinese (or anyone else) would account for the likely impact of storms,
Tu-tu Guy is too ignorant to know that the question 'how it would hold up' was in reference to the fact that the power grid had not yet been hit by a major storm. The question was conjecture. (look it up, Doofus)

Can't understand a mass market article
Tu-tu Guy is too ignorant to know how his stupid, condescending, narcissistic, attitude makes him shine exactly as described.

Doesn't know that "global warming" and "climate change" are both used accurately and why
Tu-tu Guy is too ignorant to know that my comment was directed at Prez Chump's denial on GW

Doesn't know that storm strengths, though not necessarily frequency, have undeniably "increased dramatically" because of AGW.
Tu-tu Guy is too ignorant to realize how big an asshole he really is.

I don't think he would be safe with toy boats in a kiddie pool.
Tu-tu Guy is too ignorant to know that nobody really gives a shit what he thinks, providing he's capable of thinking before he opens his mouth in hopes of impressing his yup-yup sheepies.

"Do not let Trump slow our progress on fighting climate change. Support the goals of the Paris Agreement and take climate action at the state and local levels."

Exxon Shareholders Approve Climate Resolution: 62% Vote for Disclosure
The landmark investor vote defied Exxon's management. It requires the oil giant to begin reporting climate-related risks to its business.


:clap: One of the tactics was SumOfUs members contacting "more than 200 separate pension funds, calling on these big investors to vote in favour of the shareholder resolution. Dozens of fund managers responded to us directly, saying that they received more messages from clients than they could reply to."

EPA Head Scott Pruitt Reportedly Launching Program to 'Critique' Climate Science

Comments:
If 97% of medical scientists told us that cottage cheese causes sexual dysfunction, you'd avoid it wouldn't you?
That is like hiring Sandusky to critique Child Protective Services.

Subject: Rep. Chuck McGrady's Newsletter July 6, 2017
From: "Kimberly Neptune (Rep. Chuck McGrady)" <McGradyla@ncleg.net>
Date: Thu, July 6, 2017 2:47 pm

... Bad Week. Among my disappointments during the last week was the passage of an energy bill that included a moratorium on issuing any permits for wind facilities while the State mapped flight paths of military aircraft. H 589 [Competitive Energy Solutions for NC] was a compromise bill that overhauled energy policy in North Carolina, although it predominately dealt with solar power. The House had strongly backed its bill, but Senate Majority Leader Harry Brown (R-Onslow) refused to allow the bill to proceed without adding a wind moratorium. His original proposal was a four year moratorium, but the bill that passed the House on a vote of 66 to 41 in the last hours of the session included an 18 month moratorium. I voted against the bill since I felt no moratorium was necessary and that there was no need for mapping of military flight paths by the State since the military had already mapped their flight paths and wasn’t going to give credence to the State’s maps. My view is the moratorium was just the latest effort to thwart the wind facilities....

Stop the Trump-McConnell dirty energy bill

The petition to the Senate reads:

"Reject S. 1460, the Energy and Natural Resources Act of 2017, which would increase our dependence on fossil fuels and further exacerbate the climate crisis."
