How does climate change impact hurricanes like Helene? (thehill.com)

Benitez-Nelson said that to prevent climate-related harm going forward, “the biggest thing that we can do is reduce emissions.”


I personally find this sort of hand waving a trifle annoying.  It's aking to saying "People have to be smarter."  OK, sure, that might be nice I guess, but it's not going to happen, so why propose it as any kind of solution?  I've proposed before a rather simple, if expensive "plan" to replace every coal burning power plant in the US with nuclear.  The thing is, it wouldn't reduce our CO2 emissions by much at all, it would be a step, but a very small one.  Would it be worth it?  There are other negatives associated with coal of course, and it would take a long time to achieve this as things stand.

Or, we can just say "reduce emissions",  and then say "wind and solar".  Yay.  If only people were smarter.

I don't think either of those guys knows much about science.  It's the usual political word games happening, not a serious discussion.

You sure about that?

I'm sure that one of those guys knows NOTHING about science. He is a clown with a BA in political "science".

Then there's the other guy.

I didn't find his comments to be probative are of any substance on the topic of climate change.

He was asking questions, and he rebuffed the answers.

I thought it was hilarious.

I agree with Gore, which is highly unusual, it's not a serious conversation.  And I think Gore is an idiot.

The question about CO2 and modern climate change is unrelated to whatever happened a million years ago.  And yes, CO2 levels have been much higher in the distant past.

So what?  Does that mean climate change isn't real, and caused by humans due to GH gases being emitted?  Of course not.  Does it mean it IS real and caused by humans?  Nope.   It's an irrelevant discussion, to me.

Ya but kerry was babbling 20 yrs ago,remember in 2000 or 2004 when he was stumping in Toledo then told the crowd "I'm am all about that Buckeye Football". Then he jumped the state line and started stumping in Mi then told the crowd "I'm am all about that Buckeye Football"

Guy has been punch drunk and out of his element for quite some time. It appears he was taking pointers from Brandon there

It's ripping down all the freakin' trees then replacing them with knee high shrubs everywhere that's causing problems

THE QUESTION:  If we spend all this money, how much will mean global T change vs if we don’t?
