Regardless of whether (sic) we’re talking a warming world caused mostly/solely by Mankind, mostly/solely by nature, or a mixture, it’s not that big of an issue. Sure, weather is ALWAYS a concern, and if you ask local news folks they will tell you it is the number one thing for local news, but, it isn’t a problem. Globally? Nah.
Global warming is ‘nowhere close to the world’s top 5 or 10 problems,’ Energy secretary says
U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright wants Americans to drop “doomster” views around energy, since, he said, the country is entering “a golden era” of energy. That includes leaving behind a history of fear to further hydrocarbon developments.
Global warming is a real thing, Wright said during a visit to Utah, “but it’s no big deal.”
I’ll say again and again that it is mostly natural, but, Mankind does cause maybe 15-25%, mostly land use, urban heat island effect, agriculture, and landfills. Not greenhouse gases from Mankind
“It’s nowhere close to the world’s top five or 10 problems. But it became this other mantra to preach fear and scarcity,” Wright said during the Operation Gigawatt Summit, an event hosted by Utah Gov. Spencer Cox and the Abundance Institute.
Wright added that future energy opportunities should outweigh young people’s pessimistic views, which is “a misrepresentation of what we know about climate change and economics.”
“Look at history, look at the opportunities in front of us. There’s never been a better time to be alive. The future is going to be awesome if we believe it’s going to be awesome, and we make it to be awesome,” he said.
Utah, for one, should be optimistic about its energy future, since the state will host one of the first nuclear reactors to go critical, or to maintain a steady, balanced chain reaction, this summer.
Too bad he didn’t name those issues, but, his focus was on nuclear and that reactor
Republicans in Washington, D.C., and Utah have touted nuclear energy as one clean resource that could tackle exploding energy needs — apart from fossil fuels, which continue to be popular with party leaders. President Donald Trump has signed executive orders to accelerate nuclear energy development throughout the country, and in Utah, Cox has been closely aligned with that mission.
“Younger generations who understand that if we truly want to decarbonize, if we want cleaner energy, more prosperous energy, we want dispatchable energy, reliable energy, and cheaper energy, that nuclear has to be part of that mix,” Cox told reporters on Friday.
We need to be building Gen 6 and creating Gen 7 nuclear. Even hyper-Warmist Michael Mann, among others, agrees, but, so many of the climate cult member are irrationally against it. We should force them all to live only on wind and solar, see how they enjoy it.
Name me a time the climate wasn’t changing. Name me a reputable solar scientist who claims we understand everything about solar cycles. Explain mini ice ages or major ice ages for that matter. Climastrology is literally a crime against nature
Name me a time in the past when the temps have increased at a faster rate.
Name me a time in the past when CO2 rates have Increased at a faster rate.
Before leading the U.S. Department of Energy, Secretary Chris Wright served as the CEO of Liberty Energy, North America’s second largest hydraulic fracturing company, and served on the boards of Oklo Inc., a nuclear technology company, and EMX Royalty Corp., a Canadian mineral rights and mining rights royalty payment company.
Yeah, Jennifer Granholm was such an expert as Secretary of Energy under Biden.
Check out her electric bus company.
More bullshit.
How so, dipshit?
Chris Wright has a background in energy.
Granholm had a background in hiding her stocks in an electric bus company.
Looking at the history, not of weather it self, but the predictions that have been made by self proclaimed “experts” their results are pretty dismal. The polar ice caps have not melted, the sea is not boiling. We have not entered into a new ice age and the seas have not covered Florida or NYC.
Finally we have cabinet members that are not looking at scare mongering to fleece weak minded people.
Nuclear is the best way to generate electrical power and the internal combustion engine is needed to grew crops and transport people and goods. And the products produced by oil and gas is needed for so many consumer goods.
Professor Teach types his “belief” again: “I’ll say again and again that it (global warming) is mostly natural, but, Mankind does cause maybe 15-25%, mostly land use, urban heat island effect, agriculture, and landfills. Not greenhouse gases from Mankind.”
Professor Teach offers no, zero, nada, zip, evidence to support this “belief”. On the other hand, there is overwhelming evidence that Mankind-generated greenhouse gases ARE causing the Earth to warm!!
He DOES concede that Mankind has contributed “maybe 15-25%” from landfills, agriculture, urban heat islands and “land use”.
A commenter submits as evidence against global warming: that “the sea is not boiling”.
Pure water boils at 100°C (212°F). Sea water, because of its salts contents, boils at about 104°C (219°F). The current surface temperature is about 15°C (59°F).
Boiling seas are not a threat, but sea levls are increasing.
In addition, the great ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica ARE melting. The north polar sea ice IS melting.
“Climastrology”, I like that! It perfectly expresses the irrational interpretation of often contradictory/fictitious data to support a pre-conceived fallacy.
Belief in the dangers associated with climate change caused by burning fossil fuels is directly rated to education

Dunning Kroger?
Please explain.
Bwaha! Lol!
The autocratic MAGAt Teach typed: “We should force them all to live only on wind and solar, see how they enjoy it.”
How far we have sunk…
“For better or worse,” President Johnson told the University of Michigan graduates in 1964, “your generation has been appointed by history to deal with those problems and to lead America toward a new age. You have the chance never before afforded to any people in any age. You can help build a society where the demands of morality, and the needs of the spirit, can be realized in the life of the Nation.”
“So, will you join in the battle to give every citizen the full equality which God enjoins and the law requires, whatever his belief, or race, or the color of his skin?? Will you join in the battle to give every citizen an escape from the crushing weight of poverty?…”
“There are those timid souls who say this battle cannot be won; that we are condemned to a soulless wealth. I do not agree. We have the power to shape the civilization that we want. But we need your will, your labor, your hearts, if we are to build that kind of society.”

Today we celebrate and enable the wealthy and discard the masses of working America.
Rimjob: “Today we celebrate and enable the wealthy and discard the masses of working America.”
Just like that
Or top 100 even, the climate change cultists however, are a huge ideological problem and the insane amount of taxpayer dollars wasted is an even bigger problem.
Paleo climate records are available to anyone that show us all temp and CO2 levels increasing just as quickly as the “crisis” levels of recent history without a single “fossil fuel” being burned or even a human being in sight.
CO2 levels are not a driver of temperature increase, it’s just the opposite, temperature increases drive CO2 increase after a 300 – 600 year gap.
