Global Warming/Climate Change Super Thread

[suffolkowner]

the public argument over AGW is like that with respect to evolution or vaccines. Its a completely different argument than what the scientists are having with themselves. Going over ideas that were refuted in the 1980s when there is a nearly unlimited sources of information that one can link to through the various organizations whether it is the IPCC or NOAA or NASA or the various National Academy of Sciences

for example the Milankovitch cycle is for cooling coming out of the Holocene interglacial at less than -1C per 1000 yrs.

That climate change stuff is soooo last year

Scientists brace ‘for the worst’ as Trump purges climate mentions from websites​

Trump administration pulling references online ‘won’t make crisis’ stop affecting Americans’ lives, say experts


Donald Trump’s administration has started to remove or downgrade mentions of the climate crisis across the US government, with the websites of several major departments pulling down references to anything related to the climate crisis. Climate scientists said they were braced “for the worst”.

A major climate portal on the Department of Defense’s website has been scrapped, as has the main climate change section on the site of the Department of State. A climate change page on the White House’s website no longer exists, nor does climate content provided by the US agriculture department, including information that provides vulnerability assessments for wildfires.

An entire section on “climate and sustainability” hosted by the Department of Transportation has now vanished, with the department’s new leadership also ordering the elimination of any policy positions, directives or funding “which reference or relate in any way to climate change, ‘greenhouse gas’ [sic] emissions, racial equity, gender identity, ‘diversity, equity and inclusion’ goals, environmental justice or the Justice40 initiative”.

Sean Duffy, the US transportation secretary, said the administration is focused on “eliminating excessive regulations that have hindered economic growth, increased costs for American families, and prioritized far-left agendas over practical solutions”.

Good. We've needed to lower the noise on this for a long time. Stop the hysterics for awhile and people can put their hair fires out.

I think we can all agree the climate is changing. And we probably have something to do with that. But it’s not as bad as the eco zealots make it out to be.

BlackRock exit a major blow to Mark Carney's net-zero finance alliance

The world's largest asset manager has abandoned a leading climate finance coalition, marking the latest and most significant departure from the coalition created by former Bank of Canada governor and potential Liberal leadership candidate Mark Carney.

The world's largest asset manager has abandoned a leading climate finance coalition, marking the latest and most significant departure from the coalition created by former Bank of Canada governor and potential Liberal leadership candidate Mark Carney.

BlackRock, which manages approximately $11.5 trillion USD, said it would leave the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ) because of "confusion" about its practices and "legal inquiries from various public officials."

The departure follows an exodus of major U.S. banks, including Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, and Bank of America, from the alliance amid growing Republican opposition to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives.

Carney's baby seems to have a bad case of colic and people are starting to see our newly crowned PM's Net Zero strategy may be no more than a ponzi scheme.

Quelle surprise

Then there's 'the scandal' thing...

BlackRock accused of contributing to climate and human rights abuses​

OECD complaint alleges top firm has increased investments in companies implicated in environmental devastation


BlackRock, the world’s biggest asset management company, faces a complaint at the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) for allegedly contributing to environmental and human rights abuses around the world through its investments in agribusiness.

Friends of the Earth US and the Articulation of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil accuse BlackRock of increasing investments in companies that have been implicated in the devastation of the Amazon and other major forests despite warnings that this is destabilising the global climate, damaging ecosystems and violating the rights of traditional communities.

The complaint, revealed exclusively to the Guardian, was filed under the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, which are recommendations from governments to private companies on responsible business conduct. In the absence of legally binding international regulations, these are seen as a reference for corporate accountability.
