I am not sure what you mean by that Frank. Please explain it to a foolish old man.

So Big Oil invented the term "carbon footprint" to try to trick me into taking personal responsibility for the amount of CO2 that I produce. Thank you...
August 15, 2023 at 02:12
Here are the parts of this news story that stand out to me: Why do you think the government rested after just one day and did not call its main expert...
August 15, 2023 at 00:53
Why don't you comment on what they say, rather than who they are?
August 12, 2023 at 14:06
Here is a graph from the NASA webpage: https://climate.nasa.gov/news/3139/six-questions-to-help-you-understand-the-6th-warmest-year-on-record It shows...

Cows produce methane and CO2. But they don't contribute much to global warming. Read the link that I gave earlier about the Biogenic Carbon Cycle.
August 12, 2023 at 13:39
Yes, I think that there has always been some level of doom hanging around for most of my life (I am now in my 60's). You don't really ever get totally...
August 12, 2023 at 13:24
Yes, I know that most of the methane is from "burping". Frank said "the cow fart angle" and I just used the same name to avoid more explanation. Most ...
August 12, 2023 at 12:58
The previous link that I gave you shows that cattle don't contribute much to the problem of rising greenhouse gas emissions. Here is another article w...
August 12, 2023 at 12:52
Most people do think that cattle farming is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. But most people don't understand the Biogenic Carbo...
August 12, 2023 at 12:23
The cow fart angle is still a current concern. Somebody has just developed a food supplement for cows that is meant to reduce methane by about 30%. Yo...
August 12, 2023 at 11:41
But most people seem to refuse to accept personal responsibility for the problem. They claim that it is all the fault of the oil companies. Climate ch...
August 12, 2023 at 10:49
Isn't me talking about Russia possibly not wanting to fight climate-change an example of that? Isn't my initial example of methane from cows an exampl...
August 12, 2023 at 10:36
Scientific people, and scientists, should be skeptical. They shouldn't just accept everything that they are told. Whenever I am told something I immed...

Climate-change/global-warming is a very "emotional" issue. Look at how many times I have been called a Denier on this discussion even though I have cl...
August 12, 2023 at 09:53
My data has not been peer reviewed or published (except on my website which no longer exists). I decided that trying to get it peer reviewed would be ...
August 12, 2023 at 05:14
I don't dispute that climate change is happening. I am interested in looking at the possible solutions and working out which ones are likely to be eff...
August 12, 2023 at 02:33
Newtonian mechanics was undisputed (only had one side) for a long time. And then this denier called Einstein came along. If a creationist and a scient...
August 12, 2023 at 01:05
Do you mean that I don't believe the same as you? Have you taken the time to think carefully about what I have said? I try to provide evidence to back...
August 11, 2023 at 20:29
I totally agree with this statement.
August 11, 2023 at 20:16
I am a strong believer in evolution. I have used that belief to try and understand how dangerous global warming is. Humans evolved in Africa, near Ken...
August 10, 2023 at 02:12
Thank you for considering my point. For me there are no "facts" that are beyond dispute.
August 09, 2023 at 10:06
Is it a crime to be very interested in a particular topic? All of my posts are civil, I provide evidence, and I don't call people names. Isn't this fo...
August 09, 2023 at 10:01
Are the people who die from cold less important than the people who die from heat? Did you read the information that I provided links to?
August 09, 2023 at 09:54
So how do we know that they are not wrong again? Just because I am an anonymous poster doesn't make me wrong. Hold on a minute. Aren't you an anonymou...
August 09, 2023 at 09:40
Surely it is a balancing act. There are some countries which are better off because of the small amount of global warming that we have had. They have ...
August 09, 2023 at 09:37
Mikie, are you saying that sometimes (climate) scientists get it wrong? That their assessment of the speed of change was not correct. How do we know t...
August 09, 2023 at 09:25
Please state clearly which you think kills more, heat or cold? I provided links to where I got the information from. Can you provide links to dispute ...
August 09, 2023 at 09:10
I am more worried about population explosions, global famines, plagues, water wars, oil exhaustion, mineral shortages, falling sperm counts, thinning ...
August 08, 2023 at 23:54
I agree that global warming will cause some problems. But it will also bring some benefits. In my opinion it is almost impossible to stop global warmi...
August 08, 2023 at 23:44
So warming causes cooling. I think that the key word in your comment is "might". For the last 40 years we have been told that the world will end in 10...
August 08, 2023 at 23:31
Yes, it is depressing when people are killed. But which kills more, heat or cold?
August 08, 2023 at 23:10
Consider Canada. Canada is a very cold country. Nearly all of the major cities are near the Canadian/American border, to be as warm as possible. Even ...
August 08, 2023 at 10:54
Rate of temperature change = change in temperature / time If we want the result in degrees Celsius per year, and the temperature changes by 25 degrees...
August 08, 2023 at 10:38
I am comparing temperature changes (and rates of temperature change) with temperature changes (and rates of temperature change). Your body can't tell ...
August 08, 2023 at 10:30
We don't directly measure the average high temperature or the average low temperature off some device. It is an "average" which requires a statistical...
August 08, 2023 at 10:17
I am not sure which aspect you are referring to. Are you talking about: - the use of the temperature in pre-industrial times as the baseline, or - usi...
August 08, 2023 at 10:04
How do you think that I knew about the link that I cited? Do you think that I just guessed it randomly or had I read the paragraph that I suggested yo...
August 08, 2023 at 05:53
I totally agree. And don't forget Africa and most of South America.
August 08, 2023 at 04:36
No, that is not my position. I think that burning gigatons of fossil fuels causes some problems. I am in favor of slowly transitioning away from fossi...
August 08, 2023 at 02:55
If you don't know this then you don't know much about climate-change/global-warming. Try looking at this webpage from NASA GISTEMP. You only need to r...
August 08, 2023 at 01:50
What does an Egyptian goose say? I'm in denial !!! :rofl: In case you don't get it, "denial" = "de Nile" = "the Nile (river)"
August 08, 2023 at 01:39
We geese are intelligent enough to migrate when things get too cold. We fly to locations that are nice and warm. Because warmth is much much better th...
August 08, 2023 at 01:18
You and Mikie usually respond to my posts with insults rather than intelligent discussion. It is almost like I was questioning your religion.
August 08, 2023 at 00:57
You left out some important information from the webpage that you quoted. https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/151093/antarctic-sea-ice-reaches-an...
August 08, 2023 at 00:25
A very cold goose who wants some global-warming :sad: There are a lot of geese who want the same as me.
August 08, 2023 at 00:14
Your response shows that you don't really know much about climate-change/global-warming. Do you know what the difference is between a temperature anom...
August 07, 2023 at 23:56
As I said in an earlier post, I have been seriously interested in climate change for at least 10 years. As well as looking at temperature anomalies I ...
August 07, 2023 at 06:06
That is exactly the point that I am making. You think that these roadblocks will be overcome. I believe that these roadblocks won't be overcome. We wi...
