Hearing on climate change and national security becomes an angry partisan clash

https://www.cnn.com/2019/04/09/politics/house-climate-natsec-hearing/index.html

Instead, the hearing became a surreal spectacle in which one side tried to address an issue that the other side largely refused to accept is valid.

Cringe worthy video. Keep telling me the GOP agrees on the science and are just debating on what to do, because that is just a lie. Polling also shows a large number of Republicans don't think it's real either.

The GOP are conspiracy theorists when it comes to climate change. History will not be kind to them down the line. A bunch of selfish pricks.

I'd laugh at this Massie idiot if it wasn't such a dire situation... and this isn't just an American Republican problem. There are governments/politicians all over the world who are equally as bad (including here in Australia).

So much ignorance - mostly pushed by self-interest. I seriously feel for future generations who have to deal with it.

The sad thing is republicans use to agree with scientists. That was back in the 90s and early 2000s. Nowadays they choose politics over scientific evidence. Republicans really don't give as much of a shit that the world is set to endure massive damage to it's peoples and it's infrastructure as much as they give a shit about holding on to power in the united states congress.

@ronvalencia: The guy is investing billions into fusion reactor research, so of course he tries to downplay competition (not that I disagree, as fusion is the best solution out there, it just might not be viable for decades to come and we need to get rid of fossil fuel today).

Unfortunately, people use the voices of pundits, politicians, lobbyists and grifters as substitutes for peer-reviewed scientific research. Everyone remembers how embarrassing it was to hear from these incompetent fools on the subject of net neutrality but go right back to taking their word on other issues (like the GOP and climate change) provided they're given a scrap of comfort rather than occasionally deal with an uncomfortable truth.

This has absolutely nothing to do with my thread or the exchange I posted. Math is an even bigger problem for the GOP, they don't even think AGW or CC is real. Gates accepts these facts, why can't the GOP?

1. Cite GOP's math problem.

2. GOP doesn't control the supply and funding bills. Ask most Democrats which voted "present" for AOC's GND.

Not correct. Bill Gates supports Travelling Wave Fission Reactor and funded working computer simulated models with super computers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traveling_wave_reactor

TWFR will use 99 percent of depleted Uranium.

Math works with Bill Gates. Implementation has a different mindset when compared to dreamland mindset.

Fusion Reactors are not working.

1. This post has nothing to do with climate change and this thread.

2. This post doesn't even have anything to do with Obama's job numbers vs Trumps - even if it was that thread.

You are so bad at this.

I see why SW calls you Ronbot.

Antarctica wasn’t always a frozen wasteland. It wasn’t until around 34 million years ago that the first small glaciers formed on the tops of Antarctica’s mountains. And it was 20 million years later, when world-wide temperatures dropped by 8 °C, that the glaciers’ ice froze onto the rock, and the southern ice sheet was born.

This temperature drop was triggered by the rise of the Himalayas. As they grew higher they were exposed to increased weathering, which sucked CO2 out of the atmosphere and reduced the greenhouse effect.

Eocene Epoch, lasting from 56 to 33.9 million years ago

https://www.britannica.com/science/Eocene-Epoch

Later Eocene vertebrate faunas are somewhat better developed in areas outside of North America; however, it is in North America, especially the western United States, that the most abundant and extensive Eocene terrestrial vertebrate record exists. Eocene rocks were deposited in much the same regions as those of the preceding Paleocene Epoch. During the Eocene, climates were warm and humid—temperate and subtropical forests were widespread, whereas grasslands were of limited extent. For example, the Eocene forests of Oregon were made up of trees and plants similar or identical to those now found in Central and South America.

Are you trying (and failing) to use this data to suggest human linked Climate Change, or the harmful threat of Climate change is false? Even though the source itself is not making such a claim?

Because both of those sources you linked (Newscientist and Britannica) vehemently accept both as fact.

PS; I already matched Al Gore's vehicle drive type e.g. hybrid Toyota and Lexus. I'm working towards Tesla PowerWall 2 specs with solar panels (7.5 to ~8 kWatts target, currently 3.3 kWatts panels) . I will need more solar panels with Tesla Model 3 charging. The Green cost is getting ridiculous.

Your 2 links do not refutes AGW and CC, nothing of such is stated in the articles. I read them 3 times over. They make zero mention of it. YOU are using arm-chair theory to suggest they are saying those are fake. You are wrong.

Your 2 sources specifically say AGW and CC are real.

Lmao Ronvelencia, I didn't know you were an insane conspiracy theories.

Not to sound like a bigot, but I don't want any Southern State giving anyone advice that pertains to science.

I personally believe our climate could die and end up like Venus, just like I believe seasons will shift and have chaotic weather.

The moral obligation is in everyone to do their own part, not rely on these jackass' to solve the problem for us.
