i really wonder why so many scientists are wrong about it tbh

probably sheer complexity of the entire climate system

there are ungodly amount of factors involved

and no small amount of ego I bet

It's all about research grants

who's going to give up a steady income and admit "nothing really going on"

that's there reason to keep going but not so much their inability to make accurate predictions

if they could make accurate predictions they'd have an easier time with the grants

Climate science is really complicated and I have my doubts, but I would argue that there are other good reasons to reduce the use of fossil fuels.

I have serious doubts behind some of the agricultural green house has emissions claims.

Health reasons is one. Exhaust particles (not co2) is cariogenic

if it wasn't money and power as the real motive they'd have been better off sticking with more concrete, actionable and observable things like air and water pollution but actually solving them doesn't get them money and power to the same degree as the earth is going to die 12 years

To answer the comment about "more accurate predictions"

That’s true, but I don’t believe that particulates are causing nearly as much health problems as environmentalists claim @4AM_critter 🐉

but it is best to minimalize them

I think there is a genuine lack of accountability and follow up with how grant money is used, and what it produces, tbh

Like Congress funding duck penis studies

just like art grants that money is pissed away on shitty projects with no actual value

Yeah. It’s really complicated because there’s a lot of grant money going around. Grant money is a really small percentage of government spending though

bingo

because apparently it's vital we know about feminist glacial theory

What do y’all think about government data aggregation?

An example would be eia.gov

I think anytime a government dollar is spent on anything 'climate' related, it may as well be instantly considered 'waste' since I expect there is no oversight or scrutiny to what's produced by it

This site contains tons of information about energy in the US

https://www.eia.gov

It’s actually a pretty decent website. Easy to navigate

How much money did they spend on it?

@grant the website? No clue

The data presented is really good though I think

You can use this data to figure out all sorts of things

It’s good to help fight back against environmentalist nonsense to an extent

So I'm on the site

@RuRu yeah. I read that earlier this morning

And it's already lofty bullshit

Well, it’s just reporting on what’s happened in energy

They can adopt whatever targets they want. "We adopt to have NO CANCER by 2050"
really doesn't mean shit

right

but it's pointless to read honestly

@RuRu yeah, that’s what those states have passed. Having this information consolidated like this is good to show why the federal government doesn’t need to do anything about climate change. They have other information that makes it easier to tell environmentalists to shut up because the issue will resolve itself business as usual.
