Economy and Climate Change

NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
That's not what I'm referring to but keep misinforming. I was at Seal Beach a few days ago and it was just as hot as more inland places.

Your claims of 85 during the day is suspect.
 
I really hope purple font is right, but it was 111 degrees outside my house on the weekend....I don't think I have ever seen that.
Plus it snowed next to the 91 freeway near the new vet graveyard 2 years ago...what the hell?
 
That is what I don't get. I'm not saying the world is ending tomorrow but there has been some climate change... it's just logical if you look at the science.

Whether or not this makes you hug a tree shouldn't keep you from recognizing the change.

This is NOT political.
 
Hottest days by year in LA…. you can go back 100 years…do you see a pattern here? No one does because there isn’t one. See my 80’s 100 degree days? I remember them well.🤷🏽‍♂️🦄🌈

don’t believe all the panic porn, it hasn’t changed in 100 years, the only thing your conservation efforts have done is driven up the price of energy for all of us.🤷🏽‍♂️😂😂😂🦄🌈
 
You know who likes "Corporate Greed"? Your 401k and your stock portfolio. If that's not the case then certainly dear readers of this thread you must be 100% invested in gold and nothing else? No? Then please stop complaining about presumed "Corporate Greed"...

Greed, as we know, is good.

Shrinking island, vanishing polar bears — the climate scare stories that turn out to be false

Looking back on more than 20 years of climate agitation, two themes emerge: a stubborn unwillingness by campaigners to acknowledge any inconvenient science, and ever-shifting favorite stories, first elevated and then dropped by the wayside.

The one constant: a fixation on scaring the public, which has in turn shaped bad climate policies.

At the start of this century, the polar bear was the emblem of climate apocalypse.

Protesters dressed as polar bears, while Al Gore’s hit 2006 film “An Inconvenient Truth” showed us a sad, animated polar bear floating away to its death.

The Washington Post warned that polar bears faced extinction, and the World Wildlife Fund’s chief scientist even claimed some polar bear populations would be unable to reproduce by 2012.

And then in the 2010s, campaigners just stopped talking about polar bears.

Why? Because after years of misrepresentation, it finally became impossible for them to ignore a mountain of evidence showing that the global polar bear population has increased substantially from around 12,000 in the 1960s to around 26,000 in the present day. (The main reason? People are hunting a lot less polar bears).

The same thing has happened with depictions ofAustralia’s Great Barrier Reef.

For decades, campaigners shouted that the reef was being killed off by rising sea temperatures.

After extensive damage from a hurricane in 2009, official Australian estimates of coral cover reached a low in 2012.

The media was flooded with claims of the “Great Reef Catastrophe” and scientists predicted the reef would be decimated by 2022. The Guardian even published an obituary.

The latest official statistics show a completely different picture. For the past three years, the Great Barrier Reef has had more coral cover than at any point since records began in 1985, with 2024 setting a new record.

Remember when the Government was giving out money (subsidies) for anyone who would tear up their beautiful lawns and replace them with plastic?...More unintended consequences of virtue signaling social engineering in the name of climate change that does just the opposite…idiots…🤦🏽‍♂️👎🏽😡🦄🌈

What’s more environmentally irresponsible than a thirsty L.A. lawn? A fake plastic one

Let’s start with some common sense: Covering the Earth with plastic carpet is a terrible idea. And yet we continue to cover an ever-growing swath of our public and private open spaces with artificial turf in a way that will surely leave future generations scratching their heads in confusion.

In fact, it’s clear that artificial turf is bad for our ecosystems as well as our health.

Artificial turf exacerbates the effects of climate change. On a 90-degree Los Angeles day, the temperature of artificial turf can reach 150 degrees or higher — hot enough to burn skin. And artificial turf is disproportionately installed to replace private lawns and public landscaping in economically disadvantaged communities that already face the greatest consequences of the urban heat-island effect, in which hard surfaces raise local temperatures.

Artificial turf consists of single-use plastics made from crude oil or methane. The extraction, refining and processing of these petrochemicals, along with the transporting and eventual removal of artificial turf, come with a significant carbon footprint.

Remarkably, artificial turf doesn’t even save water compared with grass. Industry marketing materials claim that an artificial field can save millions of gallons of water a year and that homeowners who use the product to replace a conventional lawn can reduce their water use by more than half. But artificial turf must be regularly cleaned with water, and in warm climates such as Los Angeles’, artificial fields get so hot that schools must water them down before children play on them.

L.A. lawns waste water, but artificial turf is even worse - Los Angeles Times (latimes.com)
 
I put artificial turf in my backyard, and I get way less mosquitos than the original grass.
 
I use to have a lawn and broken sprinklers that would cause all kinds of flying bugs in and around that area.
After changing it to the fake grass and capping the water, I'm really happy with it.

I thought the 110 degree weather we had 2 weeks ago may damage it, but it's still the same.

If you are thinking of getting fake grass, be sure to have the installer zigzag the seams, otherwise you will be able to see them.
 
The Green New Steal scam deals that have driven German (and Western European) Government policy has cratered their respective economies and those regimes are paying the price for their foolish policy blunders in the vein attempt to save Ghia….Same thing has happened here….Drill baby Drill is back!...👍🏽😂😂🇺🇸

Germany’s ruling coalition collapses as Chancellor Scholz fires finance minister

· The three-year-old union between Scholz’s Social Democratic Party (SPD), the Greens and Lindner’s Free Democratic Party (FDP) had been on shaky ground for some time.

· Chancellor Olaf Scholz said he would call for a confidence vote on Jan. 15, raising the possibility of elections earlier than scheduled in March.

What a bunch of fools… having their climate summit in a huge oil producing country that’s glad to cash their checks, but laughs at them as they arrive…🤦🏽‍♂️😂😂😂😂🦄🌈
The president of Azerbaijan, who is hosting climate summit COP29, has hailed oil and gas as "a gift from God" as he lambasted Western media and climate activists.

President Ilham Aliyev kicked off the conference with a wide-ranging, critical speech in which he hit out at those opposed to his country's oil and gas industries.

Crescent Dunes: Biden DOJ Moved on Election Night to Cover Up Alleged Solar Energy Scandal that Cost Taxpayers Hundreds of Millions

On Nov. 5, at 5:20 p.m. ET, less than an hour before the first polls closed and when it had become clear from the exit polls that Democrat presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris was likely to lose, an attorney with the Justice Department emailed lawyers for plaintiffs in a qui tam lawsuit aimed at recouping significant losses the taxpayers allegedly incurred from a failed solar plant in Nevada. A qui tam lawsuit is when a private plaintiff sues on behalf of the U.S. Government to recoup taxpayer dollars — often alleging fraud, misuse, or theft of taxpayer dollars.

This decision was shocking to plaintiffs because it represented a major reversal of the position the very same Biden Justice Department had previously taken. The Justice Department had, after years of inexplicable delays, previously declined to intervene in the qui tam suit per a filing on June 1, 2023

Can finally put a stake into this farce…drill baby drill!!..👍🏽😂😂🦄🌈

Day 2: Dump The Paris Climate Agreement​

“The Paris Agreement has always been an expensive farce, a symbolic gesture masquerading as a global solution,” writes Charles Rotter in the Watts Up With That? blog. “Its main purpose? To transfer wealth from productive nations to the politically corrupt under the guise of ‘climate justice.’ Of course, China — the world’s largest emitter — sits pretty with vague promises and no actual obligations. Trump’s exit from this scam is as much common sense as it is a necessity.”

Trump couldn’t withdraw the first time from the Paris deal until November 2020, because he was handcuffed by the previous administration, which wanted to fundamentally transform this country and saw the agreement as an instrument of destruction.

“President Obama’s negotiators wanted to ensure that it would take time for the U.S. to get out if there was a change in leadership,” the BBC explained. So “no country could give notice to leave the agreement until three years had passed from the date of ratification,” and then it had to provide a 12-month notice to the United Nations. Trump served that notice on Nov. 4, 2019, signaling that the U.S. would formally withdraw on Nov. 4, 2020.

But this time he will not have to wait three years. In fact, if he wants to issue the 12-moth notice the U.S. is pulling out on the first day of his next term rather than second day, we’d be fine with that, especially if he timed the withdrawal with Argentina’s. It’s the sort of liberating solidarity a world beleaguered by hard-left politics could use.
