Sorry to hear that. We had a situation with our daughter getting her picture taken after she had gotten off the school bus. The a-hole turned out be a child predator. We were certainly rattled. She never road the bus again. The idiots that did this to your kids and home were identified?

Issue is less whether global climate is warming or not. It is, by tendency, generally. Issue is about whether or not life and mankind can/will adapt. My quarrel with climate change activists became that so many of their demands are hilariously ineffective or do not even compensate for for example gas emissions form one single volcanic eruption ruining their mission to make a change for all the planet. Especially Germans excel in this kind of self-overestimation. Or they make radical, unrealistic demands that completely violate any sense of realism, are not practical, but get demanded for ideological reasons, for the precious "principle". It also does not help the reputation of climate change activists that they allow all too easily that their cause gets hijacked by political activists to found their very different, more ideologically oriented demands. Ironically this is especially true for - the Greens themselves. Too often these days, "ecology" gets artificially linked to political ideology, sociological projects, cultural reeducation on very different issues, too often "ecology" gets abused and hijacked nowadays as an excuse to try to push through agendas and projects that often have even nothing to do with it. Everything gets mixed with everything. Homosexual equality gets propagated at anti-terror demonstrations. Genderists for less plastic in the seas. Campaigns for spending more money on terribly rotting Berlin schools get linked to propagating pro-Muslim policies. And a new chief conductor at a German orchestra gets asked as a first question what he wants to do to raise women quotas and how he plans to communicate the orchestra's - taken for granted - support for pro gay activists in Russia - and when he angrily replied he does not care and does not plan to mix these things, and that he got hired to direct the orchestra and to produce good music, not for caring for policy-making and ideological crusades, the press all came down on him simultaneously. Its the time of the dilettantes. Zeitgeist. Zum Kotzen.

And your point is?
Contrails indeed can influence weather (weather = climate, the firts is short-termed, the latter is long-termed). This has been shown especially in the few days after 9/11, when the American airspace was practically aircraft-free and all non-military flights were grounded. The range between highest and lowest temperature on the ground over the day was wider, and the maximum temp over the day was higher. The results were statistically reliable, they did not represent random fluctuations. -> You need to look in I think Nature Magazine, 2003 or 2002 or 2004, it was published there. Volcanic activity is known since long time to have caused some of the most drastic climate changes in Earth's history.

And if e.g. Germany invents a better pollution filter or some kind of technolgy that helps, the effort will not be in vain.

Nothing against technological innovation - if it indeeds helps, I am all for it - if it can be economically, and by private persons: financially, sustained. But to put that into question, I just refer to one of the typical German problems: energetische Gebäudesanierung, Hausfassadenisolation. Here is where I cannot help but just grinning wide, it is absurd what is beignt rie dhere, it auses so many negative side-effects, and I happened to have seen the black-on-white numbers for several 1-2 family houses owned by people I knew from university times - and who all, without exception, are not happy. These kind of house renovations did not calculate well for them, especially wall and roof isolations. But heating and windows also do not hold the promises they make. Not to mention things like bad room climate, fungus, algea, and the rotting of isolating material. And if then the industry and the various activist platform offer calculations for your house's current energy status that can vary to up to 180%, trust in these calculatiosn and models is not justified. Its all about securing income for the concerned businesses.

Obviously you are scared and outright angry and preparing to flee to another country because of what others have done or threatened to do here. Nothing I can do about that other than offer my support to you and your family. If there is something I can do I hope you would let me know. You're not the only one who has had to deal with ingnorant brain dead boobs.

Volcano eruption doesn't significantly add to warming as their emission output is so very small, nor do they cool the climate anymore because we now have a cozy CO2 blanket to keep us warm. |

The title of this thread is US Politics, right?
and I will add that I have compassion for Takeda's family and neighborhood problems, but still this is a US Politics thread. I couldn't report all of you so here's the bottom line only Buddahaid and yubba were on the mark. How embarrassing Fear should have it's own thread Quote:

Again it becomes obvious that you don't bother to read what others post, and see only what you want to see. Unable to formulate a real argument you once again go back to calling me a Liberal. I have a very long record here of discussing the Constitution, something you only seem to mention when it suits you. Have you ever had a real discussion about the Constitution? Have you ever had a real discussion about anything? Certainly not here.

That being said, it's also the worlds leading country in the development and implementation of green energy, but how much of that is down to the sheer population size is another thing. But yes, there is no bad thing in working towards reducing pollution, and trying to get emissions down, even if it's already too late, because one can hope that we can reduce the severity of the change that's coming if we work together now. Of course, some serious setbacks are occuring...so I'm not as hopeful as I once was...so all we can do is apologise to our children and their children for not fixing things when we had a chance to, because we got scared. In other news, Betsy DeVos has been confirmed as US Education Secretary...so that means she can advance 'Gods Kingdom' as she wishes, and the rest of the world gets the benefit of teachers leaving the US to teach elsewhere. |

That's fine. Any that would leave we wouldn't want back anyways.
