Second year above 1.5c is looking possible

[Hurricanelover]

We're fucked if we don't get away from fossil fuels. Trump if he can't do solar and wind should probably make fusion a reality and fast!!! It may well save our ass and would probably be enough to power carbon removal better then solar or wind...Be it pumping it into the ground or converting it from co2 to c and o2. Takes alot of energy.

Or we could build 100 new nuclear reactors.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Build nuclear power plants. Put them in democrat cities and strongholds.

Where can we find the Magic Thermostat© to attain this magical worldwide ideal climate (which has never existed before)?

You dipshit, that is impossible. Look around you, most everything in your life around you depends on fossil fuels in order to make. Starting about 100 years ago and exponentially over about the last 60-70 years, products made from fossil fuel has replaced most everything or depends on fossil fuel to make. To eliminate fossil fuel, you would have to move back to the 1920s, in some ways maybe the 1850s.

And those limited few other things which could be developed other ways not using fossil fuel would be much more expensive and damaging to the environment through their removal.

• Most everything made today is made of plastic - fossil fuel.
• Adhesives and glues - fossil fuel.
• Pharmaceuticals and cosmetics - fossil fuels.
• Fuels, lubricants and rubbers - fossil fuel.
• Detergents, solvents and cleaners - fossil fuels.
• Fertilizers and pesticides - fossil fuels.
• Upholsteries, carpets and fabrics - fossil fuels.
• Drugs, deodorants and perfumes - fossil fuels.

You would lose probably 90% of all that without fossil fuel. Probably 80-90% of our appliances and products all around us would be difficult or near impossible to make without fossil fuels.

Fossil fuel is the wonder product which literally made the 20th century possible. Let me know when you are ready to move back to the 1890s, give up all modern life, technology and convenience, healthcare, and live primitively at a far higher cost.

Who set this 1.5c goal?

Don't forget that those silly money pit windmills need scads of hydrocarbon fuels and lubricants to manufacture, transport, erect, and maintain them.

Exactly, you can't even make microchip electronics, solar panels nor wind turbines to replace fossils fuels with without relying on fossil fuels. You can't build the electric grid to power EVs and AI without fossil fuels. You can't even mine the raw materials to make EVs with to replace fossil fuels without needing fossil fuels.

Are you volunteering to have the nuclear waste buried in your back yard?

How many Americans have been killed by civilian nuclear waste?

We're fucked if we don't get away from fossil fuels.

Howso?

The most prosperous nations use a lot of fossil fuels. We would be fucked if we stopped using fossil fuels, moron.

 

[petro]

Winter was still pretty damn cold.
I welcome any rise in temperature.

Civilization thrives during warm periods and suffers horribly during cold periods.

 

[elektra]

Or we could build 100 new nuclear reactors.

We only need one nuclear power plant to make more power than all wind turbines and solar panels combined

I had a job at the great southern california nuclear plant packing boxes full of radioactive waste. That was 36 years ago.

Wont that be interesting if I never grt csncer?

Fevered LGBQT activity is probably the major cause of home contribution to a global temperature rise .

The desperate high level activities of this minor and fringe Cult is now out- contributing the Sun's increased effect plus the Earth's weakening Electro Magnetic field .
Many are calling for a sunset home curfew on all LGBQT performers .

Well , at least we are at our local Mutant Control Group .

The great warming after the ice age directly benefited humans making us an agricultural species instead of a hunter gather species. Basically carved the entire landscape we take for granted today.
If it wasn't for that global warming, my house would be buried under a mile of ice.
Liberals seem to think we can lock the climate into some static state benefiting humans who stupidly built mega cities in flood zones.

Here the ice was about 3000 feet thick.

It would suck to try to chip that much ice off of my fuckin' driveway
