1) I'm on this forum for the same reason that I assume most, I have a 409 car, and this forum is an excellent resource of knowledge and contrary to what others have posted, I can be an automobile enthusiast and still be concerned about our environment and mess we are leaving around for our kids...

No, not really. It warmed until about 8,000 years ago and then started stabilizing and actually cooling a little until the last 150 years. Lots of good info in Wikipedia here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_temperature_record#Paleoclimate_(from_12,000_years_before_present)

I look at it a little differently. There is much validated scientific research both projecting the change and measuring the actual change. Politicians have turned it into something political. Some politicians use it to drive ridiculous regulations or make grandstanding projections or...

Looks like the video won't load anymore, but you can see it here https://www.foxnews.com/transcript/dr-patrick-michaels-on-the-truth-about-global-warming I watched and have written my response in a new thread voicing an alternative view on climate change.

Here's some data illustrating how climate change has impacted the ice cover on a lake near where I live. It's December in Wisconsin and yesterday it was 50 degrees and raining with no snow cover. When I was a kid we would have had a foot of snow on the ground now, the lake would have been...

61BUBBLE348 posted this on another thread and told him I would review and respond. See my response below. https://www.foxnews.com/transcript/dr-patrick-michaels-on-the-truth-about-global-warming GLM409's opinions and review of Dr. Patrick Michael's interview on Life Liberty and Levin...

Thanks, Fuzz for the info. I'm assuming the $70k number is from fairus.org. Here's an interesting article from CATO regarding illegal immigration costs which CATO believe way overestimates the costs. If you aren't familiar with CATO, CATO is a libertarian think tank, which most consider a pretty...

Where did you get the $70k number? Haven't seen any papers or articles that estimate that number. I would like to read the paper.

I will watch it and am very familiar with Dr. Michaels, whose research and books are funded by the Fossil Fuel Industry. I'll post my comments once I've completed watching. It might take me a few days to watch, but will be back.

They are. I used to be a big follower of the fuel cell technology and had hoped to put one in my house, but I stopped spending much time reading about them. There is a huge hydrogen network in Scandinavia with hydrogen filling stations readily available, which I believe might use solar energy...

That's where new technology is helping along. Newer charging stations can get batteries to an 80% charge in 40 minutes now. I expect they will continue to make improvements and continue to reduce charging time. I want to be able to get from my home in Wisconsin to the farm in Iowa (365 miles)...

Agreed. When LED bulbs were $20 each I replaced a few that were used most often and now they are a buck a bulb I replaced everyone in my house. I wasn't going to spend $100k on an electric car for a daily driver, but once they come down to the $30k point and they can go 300 miles on a charge...

Me driving an old car or my track car on the weekends has little impact, but my daily driver gets 40+ miles per gallon and will soon be driving an electric car for every day driving when it is too cold to ride my bike. I've significantly cut down on my electric and natural gas usage based on...
