Angela Merkel Lectured Trump On Global Warming, Now Germany Abandoning Its Climate Goal.....

You think rice will prevent sea level rise?

 

Thats like saying that with just 50% more flour I can make 50% more pancakes. But if I don't have any more water, I really can't. The limiting factor for plants isn't CO2, they have plenty of CO2. Its food and water. And rising CO2 will mean hotter temperatures and less water, just think California. Our CO2 has gone from 280 - 410 ppm but are California and other places full of forests? Not really because there are more droughts and humans are already chopping down a lot of forests anyway. So where is this amazing CO2-driven forest growth you claim happened?

 

The complsint was over bangladesh where rice production is allegedly being harmed by rusing sea levels

In that case rice would be the antidote for unwanted salt water

 

Actually it has snowed before and has even snowed in the 1970s in the Saharah. Temperature-wise deserts do get cold at times and sometimes go into the low 30s. Water temperatures tend to spark extreme weather like hurricanes and floods and so it is not surprising more extreme water has been happening in the Saharah.

 

So? We are still close to number one in CO2.

 

If we see major sea level rise rice will be the least of our concerns. Many of our major cities will be flooded causing trillions of dollars in damage.

 

I betcha it does not happen

Because a computer program written by liberals cannot actually cause the oceans to rise

 

The rest of the world criticizes Trump and the U.S., but then they back out in their own commitments.

This is nothing new. Bashing the U.S. makes others feel good about themselves and their own puny country.

 

Yes, we should all support Germany's glorious past, as you do.

 

No, those figures for CO2 only include burning fossil fuel, not overall pollution, deforestation, and other factors.

 

The earth has been warming/ cooling for about 450 thousand years. Well before the first factory was ever built or man walked the earth.

 

Is that the solution? More poverty?

 

And nature has been causing forest fires long before human were around but that doesn't mean humans can't cause them too.

 

I am a bit confused about the CO2 number you are referring to. Its best to just go directly to the CO2 concentration itself.

 

I actually write computer programs and the only way your political position will influence it is if you fraudulently influence the program to make it biased. But then you have to hide this from peer reviewers and your co-workers. Also if your program doesn't make good predictions on past and future data then thats another program. Do you have any specific examples?

 

Bingo

I think that is what has happened on the climate change issue

 

Ok, do you have any examples of this? Models are made by basically taking raw data and using established science formulas on them. Either the data is bad or the formulas are bad. Do you have any example programs that are fraudulent? Why wasn't this caught in peer review?

 

We have not. I feel no guilt. My teacher made Holocaust jokes.

You never stepped a foot into Germany. You have zero connection to the german people but spill your bullshit.

 

Germany has a far better economy than USA. We are also more advanced and have 40% renewable energy.


What you dont get is, that nothing is taken back. It just stays we slow the developemnt down a bit.

Not like you...you develop backwards.

 

Our nation has one of the geratest histories of all mankind.

o other nation has more scientists, artists and did more for humanity than we did.

When you flyin a jet...thank Germany.

When you get X-Rays...thank us.

When you use a car. Thank us.

When you listen beethoven...thank us.

To give you a hint for just one thing...Germany invented chemical fertilizer. Without it, 1/3rd of humanity would simply starve.

 

Unfortunate that you don't realize you are making my point for me.

 

No one claimed otherwise. Looking for your next strawman to slay?

 

Well, your economy is about 1/5th the size of the US and GDP /capita about 16% less than the US. Yeah, you have a lot of windmills.

 

???? "Histories".....Nah, your history is inexorably connected to the Nazis. Yall win the arrogance award though.

 

Such strong opinions regarding topics you know nothing about.
