In a sense, their "carbon emissions" argument is correct. But it's incomplete, so partly disingenuous.

Or does it really matter? There's no valid argument for green energy without considering population reduction. Population reduction reduces the printed GDP. We're too deep down the rabbit hole.

I'm no environmentalists, but we have the resources to sustain 100B people no problem. We focus on coal, cars, industry and "green" energy sources. People are the problem. Always have been. No different than there being 20 million lions on each continent. They'll eventually get ya if you're out for a walk.

Hi BACH

The huge error in the global warming story is the wrong assumption that the sun output of energy is constant.
It’s is not, therefore it is impossible to ever know if the CO2 humans produce has a significant effect on the earth temperature.

Cosmic rays in particular vary greatly from the sun.

At CERN in Switzerland, they could experimentally produce clouds with cosmic rays.

Clouds have a vast effect on temperature as you learned as a child playing in the sun, and the clouds moved in.

That's your opinion. It's fun to Snark-on and get in the last word, isn't it?

Not sure what you're getting at. Sure I quoted you. You didn't address anything I said though. So it must be right. This is a forum. A place to discuss and speak opinions and hopefully facts. I'm confused by your recent push back towards me. It's okay to have disagreement. I have it with regular users here frequently. Yours seems strange I guess.

There's also no "last word" as you say. I'll always respond to a conversation about opinions. Technically it's impossible to have the last word about opinions. Or maybe I'm just crazy?

Snark On.

I'm open to having a conversation. What is the issue? I asked a question and your response is I'm snarky.

I brought forth a question and opinion and you just call me snarky. Renewables are fine. Population is the problem. If you don't want to have a conversation, there's no need to call someone snarky. Just move on or hit ignore.

Price of gas is now about $2.25 Per gallon higher than before the election. At this point I hope Americans are thinking “ orange man Was good, corpse with crackhead son bad!”

Biden Tapping Strategic Petroleum Reserve as the elections are approaching for the party short term gains and putting the country in big trouble.

Yeah, and they deserve what’s coming to them. It’s too bad they have to drag the whole country down with them.

Biden Tapping Strategic Petroleum Reserve

The strategic petroleum reserve is just a drop in the bucket compared to current oil demands.


https://www.energy.gov/fecm/strategic-petroleum-reserve-9?source=patrick.net
Current authorized storage capacity - 714 million barrels

https://www.handlebar-online.com/writing-tips/what-is-the-us-consumption-of-oil-per-day/?source=patrick.net
“In 2019, the United States consumed approximately 20.47 million barrels of oil daily.

Many may not realize that the United States is such a large oil producer. The United States produces about 9.6 million barrels per day.”


So “we” only have about a 25 day supply of oil in store in the SPR. It is a joke to even consider it more than than political grandstanding and it won’t move the price down enough to even notice a blip on the radar.

Hi clambo. Methane is another gas with carbon. It is emitted by flatulence of cows, in fracking and whatnot where oil is sought instead of the methane, and volcanic activity. Methane, like carbon dioxide, has different vibrational states that can absorb the higher energy radiation (sunlight), use it to vibrate the chemical bonds, and emit the difference as lower energy radiation (heat). The "greenhouse effect". Elemental carbon is not emitted from the burning of fuels, is not a gas and so it's not in the atmosphere.

You do realize that "Greenhouse Gasses, and any perceived ill effect, the media likes to conjure up, is all a huge plate of Bullocks and Rice don't you?

The day we realize $25 a gallon gas, will be the day Humanity fails. Modern civilization simply can't sustain without Oil production, for all of the other products, that make modern life and our low mortality rate on every demographic, compared to pre Oil consumption. We simply depend on every drop we drill for today, and only demand more, that Gasoline business is only an after thought, AFTER we get the other uses out of Oil refinement. You do realize, that the turn of the last century, they drilled Oil and refined it for solvents, lubes and oils for the industrial boom at the time. Gasoline was an unfortunate by--product of the Oil refinement, Rockefeller went to Henry Ford, and asked him make a motor that will burn petrol, rather than the steam engines and electric cars, that were being made at the time. And the rest is History.

When we run out of room to store the Gasoline then all refinement and production will seize and shutdown. Then the TV's, Phones, and Electric cars will quit rolling off the assembly lines and most everything else. This is why Biden keeps "releasing the gas reserves". When we all know Biden and his administration are not releasing the gas reserves to lower the price, but only to make room for new Oil.

Let's see Brandon is releasing 1 million barrels per day for 6 months.

What is in 6 months? --- Why the elections silly.

After that it's prices back up to the moon baby.
