Hurricane Seasons, Erosion, Rising Seas, Sinking Land Mass

Recycling hasn’t worked anywhere else, it won’t work here, it’s not cost effective or energy efficient. It’s another feel good story.

Auto salvage has been a tremendous success story.

It just wasn't initiated as "recycling" so it gets overlooked.

Sea levels are rising. I am not sure what point you are attempting to make

Key coastal areas are sinking but all across the board are billed mainly as sea levels rising.

"Consensus" can be wrong and can change too .

Well concensus does start with con

LoL! You're talking about natural phenomenon. We are talking about "man made climate change". Stop being obtuse. Did you even read my entire post?

So were you, right? You asked what caused sea level change before the Anthropocene like it was something humans have no control over.

[Big Tyme]

first I doubt seriously that is correct

second, without substantial gubment subsidies, NONE of that would exist

third, I'm pretty sure that many of the components used in the clean energy sources come from O & G

fourth, wait until they become obsolete, then there will be the costs associated with the graveyard effect

from beginning to end, it is a scam and waste . . .

Oh YOU seriously doubt it. Gotcha. Dunning-Kruger in full effect.
And I thought you were cool with subsidies? Whiplash man

It's both and that's what makes it so troubling.

Zero carbon - no farming. No farming - no food. No food
- no people. Simple as that, or are you looking forward to eating the bugs?




Replace Coal with Nuclear in the energy equation. Increase research funding into safer fertilizers. Create a global fund to increase potable water in the third world. Civil engineer smaller cities connected by much better public transport.

Just off the top of my head.

1) If you think everything we eat has to be farmed by tractors that create carbon emissions, I know many of our foods come from different sources. For instance, I can show you an aquaponics system in my shop where we farm crawfish and vegetables using a solar-powered system. That's just one example. There's also research into lab-grown meat and other innovative methods.

2) I agree that nuclear is a viable source, and I've also had success with solar, as mentioned above. However, the suggestions you're making involve moving away from oil and gas, which is the main focus of this debate.

I would love to continue the debate, but we will just have to agree to disagree and move on.

.. A 1 meter rise would be a major issue.

We would adapt. Entire cities were engulfed by the seas thousands of years ago. Life goes on. The entirety of human existence has been dealing with climate change. It is a natural process that we need to accept.

Good news I went to Alexandria (because of something I read) and I am happy to report it is back above water.
