content: Really??I am starting this thread because I find myself disgusted that of all people..electronics enthusiasts and professionals can ignore solid science. I find myself deeply ashamed that all those I find disbelieving fact and science, are all deem to be as am myself, English speaking, people without color.I have spent more than 30 living in a place that is really benefiting from climate change, warmer weather, less fog, no more Sam Spade movie like fog (I miss that part), and more rain..after droughts.At the same time I am hearing first hand from friends around the world how badly this change is affecting them..Oddly, all those friend ARE people of color.I cringe when I see posts saying it is a hoax, or that some political or ruling class person are group is claiming this as fake to benefit themselves.i find younger people get it..As one professor friend said. She sees in her classes students that expect to live 100 years and it is very real to them...including those without color.A hoax? are you a Moron?? If it truly mostly or all white people saying this..then I find it racist too.I may be really obnoxious here, but on an electronics forum..We are are better than that. Seriously! We understand that all those electrons cannot be seen, yet know they exist. I think most of accept sub-atomic particles exist and those require tools, "very expensive test gear" like the Large Hadron Collider in CernI as people who really understand that magnetism and knowing how to create and manipulate it is real. We even agree that radio waves and signals are real and enjoy playing and manipulating another invisible force.yet, there are those who cannot or refuse to see visible science as real? Photos or more than 100 years show progressively proof that the world is progressively warming.We are so better than this...Seriously.So, now can we have a thread of civil discussion and make all of us part of the solution, and not the problem?

content: TheNewLab,Whilst I understand what you're trying to do, these sorts of threadsalwaysdescend into chaos. There are those who simply refuse to believe what science has learnt (so far) and cloud their judgement with their own biases and opinions.Whichever side of the fence you are on, you'll never convince the other side.Don't take it to heart if (when) this thread gets locked or deleted. It really isn't the place for it and some people have shown that they just can't help themselves and ruin it for everyone. Enjoy the rest of the forum and don't forget to give Dave's video a big "thumbs up".

content: Humans are simply assholes. They want to believe what suits their (in general) wallet or believes. Of course mistakes were made by scientist, but the general picture is crystal clear. If you walk around this planet for more then 30 years, your blind or ignorant if you can’t see the change.Are we to blame? Of course we are.At one point mother nature will intervene. Let’s hope it’s will be quick.Sent from my X using Tapatalk

content: Quote from: onesixright on March 23, 2019, 07:49:23 amLOL!AN old friend once said after I chided him for what I considered racist..He laughed and said that I must just understand. "I'm a moron, youre a moron, we are all morons!" That was long aro, I agreed then and still do. Humans can be so stupid.If, only a few more people learn and grow from this discussion..That would be a success.I know it will most likely degenerate..but it doen't have to.. That said..for me it just jurts too much for our species to , As Joseph Campbell said. "..destroy our Garden of Eden, this planet is still a Garden of Eden, we just se it..."And I still here Michio Kaku speaking of how we do not qualify as a one type of civilazation. "We are a zero..we have not even gotten to one..."I know we will see rising oceans within our lifetime..that part is just too late. That aspect I am not worried. civil engineers in this area have already have the plans in place to build a tide gate under the Golden Gate Bridge. they've had it in place for years. Plus it will supply electric energy for a large part of this region!I am tired of hearing from friends who live closer to the equator and on those stupid pesky small ilands to how not just their homes are gone, but their town..I watching how friends have their homes destroyed living on the coast..(I tease them at how stupid they were) and am still dealing with family and friends who have lost so much in Northern California.RE" about teasing and giving others a hard time in the wake of their suffering, I learned a long time ago it gives us all a break from the pain!Let's just see where this goes..for nowThank You

content: IMHO you don't need this discussion. Fossil fuels will run out so we need alternatives either way. I'm also convinced that every last bit of fossil fuel will end up to be used and the earth will still be spinning for millions of years to come. Climate change is inconvenient at most but like every animal we'll need to adapt to a changing habitat. This time we messed up our own habitat. How ironic

content: The bigger the problem, the more people stick their head in the sand and do nothing about it.Climate change is one of the biggest problems the human race have had, little wonder certain personality types don't believe.It's just hard to accept you have been screwing up the planet for decades, or your entire life, but that is exactly what has, or is still happening.The big corporations that sell coal and oil, have a bigger problem.That is that their entire company is now worthless, rather than pack up and accept they did well while it lasted, they want to squeeze every last cent out of their black gold.This is why hundred of millions of dollars is being spend on lobbying, bribes etc.The earth does not heat evenly, nor is every part effected in the same way.What this means is weather systems change, usually for the worst, they become unstable.Just because the the weather is simply warmer where you are, doesn't mean it's not causing problems elsewhere.New Orleans got almost wiped off the map, NY and Houston got flooded, California got multiple catastrophic fires, all from weather events that should not have existed.
