Clothes dry just fine in freezing temps outside.

You must have a good spin cycle on your washer. No chance in hell in the coming days here. Let me know what clothing DRIES in 16ºF highs and 8ºF lows with wind. It will be frozen outdoors.

You can have one of those dumb indoor clothes line things, I just want my clothes dry. Do a load or two a day. I don't have time for that shit.

Does anyone here active actually have kids? Starting to think no.

Gotta live where you can use them is the only problem

I guess you missed the last part of the sentence to anyone who claims to be green. Finding solutions for wintertime drying is a minor inconvenience if one believes AGW is an existential threat.

Yes, all those decades where families typically had washing machines but not dryers (1940s thru early 1970s) must have found a way to make a clothesline work in the winter.

"Can’t forget water vapor. Molecule for molecule, it’s on par with CO2
as a greenhouse gas, but much more abundant, ranging from 0.2% at the poles to 4%
at the equator:"

In fact, CO2 is not warming anything because
(1) Earth is not emitting radiation at the frequency which CO2 absorbs, namely 15 microns.
(2) Therefore the amount CO2 in the atmosphere is irrelevant. In fact, during the Paleozoic,
Earth experienced an ice age for 40 million years at a 4,200 ppm CO2 level. And CO2 at
4,200 ppm did not prevent the ice age from happening.
(3) Given that our planet is roughly at 59°F then Earth is radiating unimpeded into space
at 10 microns.
(4) CO2 as a greenhouse gas is so irrelevant that IR Astronomy is alive and well on our planet.
(5) If anything is warming our planet, it is water vapor and the fact that Earth is over 70%
oceans! And thank God for the oceans - and the resulting water vapor - because it is these
oceans that are keeping our planet habitable!.

The basic incorrect assumption that people make about the sun is that its energy output is a constant, like a light bulb with a watt number on it.
The sun's energy output varies, and this means no conclusion can be made about what effect our activities have on the earth's temperature.
Cosmic rays in particular vary; at CERN in Switzerland they created clouds experimentally using cosmic rays.
Cloud formation vastly impacts temperatures; of course you have been to the beach and when the clouds came in, where did you go? Home.

But you are not a member of the 'Party of Science'. So STFU, MAGARacist! :)

I have seen bullshit replies to that like, "But the CO2 and Methane is heating the oceans and that adds water vapour (<-- when you see Brit spelling like that, you're dealing with an America jealous 'tard, btw) into that atmosphere!"
