Here in the Netherlands the government is doing its yearly presentation of its budget and plans for the current year, and the leader of the ruling liberal party said we have 30 years left to make the necessary changes to stay under 2 degrees. So i dont know what you guys are freaking out about, we got plenty of time!

To stay under +2? Yeah, that ship has sailed. I'm pretty sure if we zeroed global carbon usage tomorrow, +2 would happen anyway and maybe even +3.

I am a preschool teacher in Kansas. This state doesn’t get an absurd amount of snow, but traditionally we could expect storms to drop around 8 inches if things get good and hairy. Anyways, I was in my class the other day and was talking to a four year old about snow (it’s been really hot here) and asked them if they had ever seen a snow storm. They said “no,” at which point I realized that it hasn’t snow enough out here in the past three years to even make a good snow ball - let alone have a solid storm. It’s sad thinking that this group of kids is growing up without knowing a real winter. :/

It was so nice to experience several actual snowstorms again after years and years of just cold nothing.

There has to be a way to prevent toadies like Scott Pruitt from ever taking control of the EPA again. We really need to make our regulatory agencies completely divorced from the Executive Branch fuckery.

The Advisory Branch Proposal and every other attempt to enshrine expertise in government, nationalize the defense industry, or allow the armed forces their own design bureau that tells contractors what to make would make the government more efficient, thereby preventing Congress from fattening itself on stolen blood.

There are worse things than a clathrate gun coming out now. Synopsis: researching finds lake boiling with methane in the Arctic, studies it to find out source. Plot twist: its not from permafrost clathrates melting, but from fossil fuel deposits being uncovered directly. Unsurprisingly this is a huge loving deal, since such deposits potentially hold more methane than clathrates and will release it much, much much faster. Fun times!

https://www.elsevierweekblad.nl/opinie/achtergrond/2018/09/met-een-nieuwe-klimaatvisie-naar-een-groenere-aarde-646271/ In this Dutch article they are writing that the oceans and the air are circulating the co2. 98% is in the oceans and will be released when we are decreasing the co2 in the air. Telling that reducing c02 must not be the main goal.

About the Global Warming Policy Foundation: The Global Warming Policy Foundation is an all-party and non-party think tank and a registered educational charity which, while openminded on the contested science of global warming, is deeply concerned about the costs and other implications of many of the policies currently being advocated. Our main focus is to analyse global warming policies and their economic and other implications. Our aim is to provide the most robust and reliable economic analysis and advice. Above all we seek to inform the media, politicians and the public, in a newsworthy way, on the subject in general and on the misinformation to which they are all too frequently being subjected at the present time. The key to the success of the GWPF is the trust and credibility that we have earned in the eyes of a growing number of policy makers, journalists and the interested public. The GWPF is funded overwhelmingly by voluntary donations from a number of private individuals and charitable trusts. In order to make clear its complete independence, it does not accept gifts from either energy companies or anyone with a significant interest in an energy company.

the only debate left in global warming is "do we implement the forced sterilization program at the refugee camps, or skip the camps altogether and proceed directly to mass graves"

You could publicly shame and discriminate against people with a carbon footprint above X threshold. Extra taxes, fines, lost benefits... getting fired. Imprisonment. Execution. A good first step into the inevitable draconian eco-fascism of the future.

Edit: Australian news below. https://twitter.com/GrogsGamut/status/1045554824907878400 Sure, it looks bad, but our new environment minister recently announced that when the current policy for reducing emissions from electrical generation "expires" in 2020, they'll replace it with... literally nothing.

I assume that carbon price period means carbon tax or something like that. If so, what sort of numbers was Australia using for it and how was it received among the population? Poorly I imagine since it only lasted for two years, but it looks like it really did some damage on the ol' emissions.

Cross-posted from the Trump thread:WaPo posted:But the administration did not offer this dire forecast as part of an argument to combat climate change. Just the opposite: The analysis assumes the planet’s fate is already sealed. Paradoxically the "we're already doomed" position wrt climate change aligns well with fossil-fuel intensive energy policy. The admin's environmental impact statement is here. Gortarius posted:If so, what sort of numbers was Australia using for it and how was it received among the population? Poorly I imagine since it only lasted for two years, but it looks like it really did some damage on the ol' emissions. Not Australian but it was big easy target for dumb right-wingers. Exactly the same political battle is happening in Canada right now over the similarly anemic federal carbon tax.

I had to go loving read it. Jesus Christ. quote:Estimated CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere for 2100 would range from 789.76 parts per million (ppm) under Alternative 1 to approximately 789.11 ppm under the No Action Alternative, indicating a maximum atmospheric CO2 increase of approximately 0.65 ppm compared to the No Action Alternative. Atmospheric CO2 concentration under Alternative 7 would increase by 0.16 ppm compared with the No Action Alternative. YES CAR HEADING TOWARDS A CLIFF? PEDAL TO THE METAL AND JUMP IT!

Conspiratiorist posted:I had to go loving read it. People ask on Facebook sometimes "When is the next Einstein coming?" There's a couple reasons that's a silly question, but in a 700-800 ppm world, the only geniuses will be nobility raised in artificial atmospheres their whole lives. A client I support looks at, amongst other v things, co2 and higher brain development in some models. They specifically haven't published yet but it's pretty obvious already modern mammalian higher functions don't loving work in high co2 environments. The danger isn't 700ppm, btw, it's what the children of a wage slave are exposed to -- houses in a city or suburb, schools that even today rocket well above 1200, 1500, 2000 ppm.
