Climate Change -- conspiracy theory or is it time we all drive a Prius?

Yup, but it's in regard to people who think increasing birth rates is some solution to sustainability.

Btw I am arguing thar you exaggerate the dangers of illegals while complaining about climate alarmists' speech.

to throw you a curve ball, I sometimes think that legal immigration is a bigger problem than the illegals, who personally towards whom I have no real animus . The ones I've known are just fine to work with etc. If we don't have a policy of letting them pile through the borders in uncontrollable numbers I think we can weed out the criminals. And I also don't think they are bad for the economy, probably good

Legal immigration meanwhile has led to having people from countries where they hate us come here, sometimes committing atrocities, sometimes getting into fraudulent activity to milk the people they hate ... also bringing in antisemitism to join up with the samesuch already here

Well climate science is never going to give perfect results, but it's the best thing to anything else that I know of.

One thing I really object to in our immigrations policy is putting illegals all in the same class. We have people who come over the border and commit a serious crime within weeks, and we have people here 20 or 30 years with barely a traffic ticket who have been basically what would be called a good citizen in any other context. To me that is insane. It's like throwing away a valuable item for almost no reason because a t wasn't crossed in the paperwork.

The wildfires bother anybody of course, but I just heard Bjorn Lomborg say worldwide there are less wildfires than usual

So I asked the googlebot "does this year have more wildfires"

reply, "Yes, 2026 is experiencing an above-average wildfire year, with both the number of fire ignitions and total acres burned tracking significantly higher than historical averages in North America and parts of Europe."

then I asked "does this year have more wildfires worldwide"

"No, this year does not have more total wildfires worldwide. Global fire emissions and overall burned area are actually at low levels"

I'm seeing articles now about not over-using AI, such as asking a bot 'what to wear today', in order to help cut down on demand for electricity ............... something else to feel guilty about *sigh*

I can't help but notice that if I search for something, 9 times out of 10 I automatically get a bot answering the query ... so who is at fault on that?

#BREAKING: Hurricane #Polo just explosively intensified to a Category 5 and is now the 2nd most intense hurricane ever recorded in the Pacific. Pressure has reached an extremely low 892 mb, which is comparable to Hurricane Melissa near Jamaica last year. Polo went from a 45 mph tropical storm to an extremely dangerous 180 mph Category 5 hurricane in just 36 hours. Additional strengthening is possible in the hours ahead. Tricky forecast with 2/3 of the models towards the Baja California peninsula, the other 1/3 out to sea over the next week. I'll keep you posted. See less

No hurricanes yet in the Atlantic, a record length of time without one I think. Fifth named storm Fay is expected to fizzle out

both of these posts are meaningless indications for climate change, similar to declaring that a really hot or cold day, or the current nor'easter, means something

Don’t you know anything? My leftie friends are telling me Trump moved the hurricanes to the Pacific from the Atlantic at the request of Red states Florida/Georgia/South Carolina to punish Blue states California/Oregon/Washington. If they change to vote Republican he’ll move the hurricanes back east.

On a serious note, seems like a biggie IS forming in the Pacific.

Of course he moved it.

Quote:

Pacific- The word comes from the Latin word pacificus (peacemaking), combining pax (peace) and facere (to make). Explorer Ferdinand Magellan named the Pacific Ocean because he found its waters remarkably calm and peaceful during his voyage

When Trump looks for peace it means war.

Are you sure you aren't talking about your girl, Margorie Taylor Greene and her proof that, following the devastation of Hurricane Helene in October 2024, "Yes they can control the weather. It is ridiculous for anyone to lie and say it can’t be done" when she shared maps of the hurricane's path overlaid with political voting data, implying the storm was intentionally directed?

Or maybe you are talking about your boy, our ve4ry own SecHHS, RFK Jr. with his statement about contrails?

It's your MAGA echo chamber that is so wrapped up in their hatred of science that they are so dizzy they can't even think straight.

So do you have some measurement in mind, where you finally say, that’s enough to declare climate change?
