It is the middle of summer. It is always hot at this time of the year. The temperature has been getting into the 90s here in North Carolina, which is typical. It has been like this since I was a child. I remember summers where the temperature got over 100, and I do not think we have reached that once this year. Man-made climate change is a hoax. If you are going to do outdoor activities in the summer, you need to stay hydrated and take breaks. If you don't, you are asking for trouble. You risk heat stroke.

We had a cooler than normal July for us. Didn't go swimming much like we usually do, starting after the 4th. I hope it's better for August.

If you are going to do outdoor activities in the summer, you need to stay hydrated and take breaks. If you don't, you are asking for trouble. You risk heat stroke. (Global) climate is not (local) weather. Here are three undeniable facts: 1. Average global temperatures are steadily rising 2. CO2 is a greenhouse gas that is driving this change (as it has been in every other heat extreme the planet has ever experienced) 3. The rapid increase in CO2 over the last 150 years is the result of human activity How this global climate change affects local weather varies greatly. It is most pronounced in the polar regions.

The idea that human activity is causing global temperatures to rise is junk science. The amount of CO2 we are releasing into the atmosphere isn't enough to cause a problem. I would also point out that in the 70s, we were said to be entering an ice age, so if we are able to raise the temperature with CO2s, it may be the reason we are still here. It may have saved us from the ice age, lol. I am opposed to doing anything to reduce CO2s because I see it as a hoax.

And moreover the type of CO2 being released as a certain signature that points to human activity. A few scientists predicted an ice age before they had all the data and many other scientists disagreed. Now there is near consensus on global warming.

Your life is a nanosecond in planet time. So no, nothing to worry about. The climate will be very survivable. I see the GED graduate has resumed reading my posts and checked in, lol.

However, as Follow the Money detailed, the newly unveiled records show that "Shell already began collecting knowledge about climate change in the 1960s. The company not only kept well abreast of climate science, but also funded research. As a result, Shell already knew in the 1970s that burning fossil fuels could lead to alarming climate change." I have read about this...years ago from a few different sources linked to the actual studies by Shell. link

I am not against alternative forms of energy when they can take the place of oil, but not at the expense of the economy. Once other forms of energy become practical, I don't care what happens to big oil.

Dont get me wrong, I do not think everyone should go but an EV.

Dont get me wrong, I do not think everyone should go but an EV. That is in their best interest, but if we can eventually find better alternatives, I am all for it. I may not seem like the typical person to have them, but I have solar panels. I also have small economy cars. It is not like I don't care about finding better ways of doing things. I just don't want to destroy the economy in the process and hurt the poor. If the day comes when oil is no longer needed, that is fine by me.

Nobody needs a monster truck to go to the neighborhood grocery store.
