El Niño already all time record. And its not even close to peaking

I mean, imagine telling a company 13hours from the jobsite that their carbon footprint didn’t qualify vs the company that sent a freighter from Colombia SA to England then from England to NYC.

LOL. Green energy in a nutshell

But, the water powered thing is really cool and very doable in Colombia with the water availability there.

Company I work for has a 6.5m sft factory and we currently solar power 30% of the factory with a goal of 70% by 2029. We mfr insulated and laminated glass in one portion of the factory, we have four divisions but the glass portion takes the most power and the powere required is massive. We will be adding 1m sft in two years for our float glass line.

Good….we need the moisture in Colorado.

An El Niño winter—especially a strong or “super” El Niño—increases the statistical odds for above-average snowfall and a more active storm track in parts of Colorado, but it does not guarantee a blanket increase in snow everywhere. Snow Patterns in Colorado Southern Mountains: Historical data and long-range models show a strong link between powerful El Niño events and heavy snowfall in the southern mountains, particularly ranges like the San Juans.

Front Range & Plains: Areas like Denver and eastern Colorado see a weaker, more probabilistic connection. El Niño favors an active southern storm track and higher chances for big, moisture-rich spring storms, but it also introduces warmer average temperatures.

Lower Elevations: Because temperatures tend to run slightly warmer during El Niño cycles, borderline precipitation events in lower-elevation cities may fall as rain instead of snow, especially early or late in the season (such as October or April)

No one wants to know how the cake is baked, they just want to eat it. It’s surface level feel good thinking.

Don’t be so hard on yourself. Just a little chubby and unmotivated. :joy: Only kidding bud.

You are the man! All I know is if I was a criminal, big if, I wouldn’t want you on the case tracking me down.

This also applies to people who don’t really want to know how climate works. It’s a massively difficult scientific endeavor. Virtually impossible. It requires humility on all sides, but ultimately there is only one side: a habitable Earth.

I believe animals have as much right to exist on this planet as humans. More than that, I believe we are just one species of animal, one that has caused much harm and dislocation many other animals all the while taking the high ground and aren’t we ■■■■■■■ special. We are not. We are privileged to have a life to live here. And a responsiblity to care for the planet that has granted this privilege.

People unfortunately need to suffer before the have a spirtual awakening. I have little doubt it is coming.

Naw i just know the world has always changed. Human or not.

Sure it has.

But do you know how long it’s taken life on this planet to get this far? Hundreds of millions of years.

Compared with just hundreds of years to jeopardize it. This is reality.

Just not going to live my life scared.

Nobody is telling you to be scared. Quite the opposite. We don’t need scared, we need brave.

Earlier this summer… climate change wasn’t ideal.

.

Yep,
it was the cooling reported in the 70s
it was miami beach will be gone by the fill in date
It was Al Gore doom and gloom yep,

Yes warming is real but not to the levels many are proposing.
It’s not complicated and it follows the same model as most things do.
Follow the money. The climate grift is not new been around for decades.

Look, I think you’re an honest broker here. Someone I respect.

But the evidence is piling up unabated. A shit ton of evidence.

But I will ask you, since you brought it up, what exactly is the “climate grift”?

Seriously, what is it? Please tell me what that is besides a slogan?

There are a ton of studies to the contrary.
Peer reviewed if that is your thing.
And I mean a lot of them.
They aren’t hard to find.

Regarding climate in all areas.

You are seriously saying you don’t understand what the climate grift is?

I mean I outlined one example above where a company I work for made millions because they are a legitimate water powered plant. But got a federal airport project because their carbon footprint was lower than a mfr located 13hours from the project site. It’s absurd. And, it is openly discussed in my meetings with architects, some of the biggest firms in the world. GC’s, again massive international GC’s and subs.

Millions are made on the green energy. Millions, billions, are made in federal grants.
For one who has your background to claim you don’t understand what climate grift is, well, it’s hard to believe.

And ther is a ton of evidence to the contrary, a ton. Not hard to find at all especially with your journalistic background.

Yeah lasted a f ing week.

You actually believe that your anecodal evidence undermines all of climate science?

Oh come on, how many billions are gifted to carbon based energy, not even close.

You’re wasting your time
