I mean, seriously, you could have moved into a tiny home, given up meat, and walked to work, but, nope
Opinion: 140 inches of projected Syracuse snow shows climate change severity
On Nov. 11, the first snow of the semester greeted the city of Syracuse, to which residents and students responded with thicker jackets and winter boots. But this year, the familiar blanket of white covering campus points to something bigger: Meteorologists are concerned of what may be one of the coldest winters in years.
As temperatures drop this winter, climate change may not seem like a pressing issue. And with Syracuse’s reputation for cold weather, it’s easy to overlook the bigger problem. Instead of dismissing it as “just Syracuse being Syracuse,” we need to recognize this example of how climate change disrupts our seasons.
Climate change is often misunderstood as a trend toward higher temperatures. In reality, it doesn’t mean warm winters and warmer summers – it means instability. Climate change is more accurately defined by climate extremes, which include harsh transitions between seasons, unpredictable temperature changes from year to year and heavier snowfall.
This is what indoctrination looks like from a cult. The writer is a freshman at Syracuse U. I will give her this, if true
First, I try to save energy at home. The majority of our electricity and heat are generated by coal, oil and gas, so reducing the use of heating and cooling appliances can make a big difference. Even a simple swap like hanging laundry to dry instead of using a dryer lowers energy consumption. In fact, consider switching from fossil fuel-based electricity to renewable sources, including solar or wind.
I also walk or bike when I can, and take public transportation when I can’t. Roads are often congested with vehicles, most of them running on gasoline or diesel, so choosing to walk or bike reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
If true.
Steven “The Junkman” Milloy is a lawyer and lobbyist for tobacco, energy and chemical companies.
He’s part of Heartland Institute and a go-to “expert” for science deniers like Mr William. Heartland feels that neither tobacco nor global warming are dangerous.
Milloy typed, and William copied and pasted, ridiculously: “There’s only one word for climate: Hoax.”
“It’s snowing in Syracuse, therefore climate is a hoax”. Stupid, even for a MAGAt.
And yet you failed to refute a thing he said. A perfect example of attacking the messenger instead of the message. If you could show he’s wrong, that he’s a “lawyer, lobbyist for tobacco, energy and chemical companies” would be irrelevant. “Snowfalls will be a thing of the past…”
And again, what’s being denied?
WTF are you even arguing, Jl-one-note? Heavy snows do NOT falsify the theory of CO2-caused global warming.
It’s a silly “argument”. Who would seriously say that “climate” is a hoax? If William was serious he wouldn’t advertise the Junkman’s stupidiity.
What’s being denied you ask, again and again? The science behind the phenomenon of CO2-induced global warming. Duh. Get an argument.
Nice try-“record CO2, record fossil fuel use, urban heat island effect..and we’re predicting the snowiest December since 2017..”. All true, right? That he calls it a hoax is just as valid as calling it settled science.
“The science behind CO2 induced warming”. What science are you alluding to besides the simple correlation of CO2 up, warming up?
