I REallllly didn't want to discuss the varied theories of global warming. The psychological aspect is infinitely more interesting. Why people take the positions they do, and how inflexible they become. What are their motivations? Reminder of my original point. A giant of early quantum mechanics theory has gone to align himself with a political propaganda organization. Does Clauser really believe the outcome of unregulated burning of fossil fuels will only be a small matter and that the main goal should be the concern for all those who are suffering from want of food and warmth. I get that there is massive suffering in the world. Seems easy to fix if we wanted to without burning massive amounts of CO2. |

There are many countries with massive populations that are poor. Coal and gas are cheap. Even "rich" countries like China are sticking with coal. Two new plants per week it seems: https://energyandcleanair.org/publication/china-permits-two-new-coal-power-plants-per-week-in-2022/ |

Also, when it comes to "global warming", has anyone stopped to consider the ultimate technical question, can we actually measure and track the temperature of the the globe accurately? How do we know we are doing it accurately? How accurately exactly? NOTE: I am NOT syaing that the globe is not warming, I'm just asking the technical question, how do we measure this, and with what degree of precision and reliability. Because, AFAIK, everything hinges on that. And maybe, is it excessive technical hubris to think we can even do that at all? |

Instead the lunar effect on weather that is now falsely linked to Gobull warming is where you need focus your studies along with the 2023 major lunar event. --- End quote --- People who are actually interested in discussion don't disguise their point. If you want to make a claim, do it directly, and provide some recognized form of evidence. the-subtle-influence-of-the-moon-on-earths-weather[/b]]https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20210820-the-subtle-influence-of-the-moon-on-earths-weather https://www.washington.edu/news/2016/01/29/phases-of-the-moon-affect-amount-of-rainfall/ There is no real useful discussion happening in this thread. --- End quote --- Yeah well neither of those www links are any revelation to those that spent a lifetime on the land. Again I ask have the lunar effects on the earth been factored into climatic models and if not why not ? Might they blow off the Gobull warming agenda if they did ? Knowing the moon impacts on worldwide weather and the major 2023 lunar event which took decades to build and will take decades to wane has impacted NZ with climate extremes in 2023 seems a little too coincidental IMO however the next few years as weather patterns settle again will demonstrate the inaccuracies of climate modelling. |
