Environment & Energy

I posted a rather grim video earlier and would love to see a scientific paper that managed to refute the hot model to my satisfaction, even posted by a denier who didn't know what s/he was posting.

And if it was their usual standard for science, it would be a pleasant chew toy for a half hour or so.

Of course, rock headed idiots who refuse to face even the mildest established facts (rising sea level, coastal erosion, drying river systems worldwide) are absolutely infuriating to deal with.

A fully rational species would have read the data by the 80s, at the latest, and shut down every single coal fired power plant, restricted car usage, invested in extensive rail systems, and poured money into the R&D of leapfrog technologies for home heating and lighting while alternate ways to supply electricity were developed and built. We are not a rational species and it hurts to be reminded of that.

So I'm divided on this issue. I would love to see the worst model refuted, even if posted bu a delusional denier secure in his happy bubble of "mother earth/god/whatever will protect us." My pessimistic ass just doesn't think it will happen.
