DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM DRAFTING MEETING CONCLUDES
Climate Change and Clean Energy: Moving beyond the “all of the above” energy approach in the 2012 platform, the 2016 platform draft re-frames the urgency of climate change as a central challenge of our time, already impacting American communities and calling for generating 50 percent clean electricity within the next ten years. The Committee unanimously adopted a joint proposal from Sanders and Clinton representatives to commit to making America run entirely on clean energy by mid-century, and supporting the ambitious goals put forward by President Obama and the Paris climate agreement. Another joint proposal calling on the Department of Justice to investigate alleged corporate fraud on the part of fossil fuel companies who have reportedly misled shareholders and the public on the scientific reality of climate change was also adopted by unanimous consent.
For a minute, I thought the idea was to criminalize stupidity. Now I see, it's about criminalizing corporate malfeasance.
As for skepticism? I have said for a long time, "You can't burn 100,000 years worth of sequestered carbon in 100 years without causing changes."
The ice caps are showing effects. I keep checking the bayou for water level rise.
If the oceans aren't up by 8 feet in the next 20 years, no problem. I will die before I have fish in the front yard.
??? The last time I saw an Eskimo pull a whale out, he pulled it on to land.The Eskimos were having a hard time finding a place with thick enough ice to pull their whales out of the water.
Sea ice goes out a long way up there. Not as far as it did in the old days, but still a mile or 2.??? The last time I saw an Eskimo pull a whale out, he pulled it on to land.
Has all the land melted, too?
I guess they will soon call whales, "Two mile ice breakers".Sea ice goes out a long way up there. Not as far as it did in the old days, but still a mile or 2.
Yea, they are going to need to learn how to float them.I guess they will soon call whales, "Two mile ice breakers".
My sarcasm meter is vibrating. Do you hate air conditioning too?I'm not skeptical.
I hate ice. I hate cold. Good riddance I say.
There seems to be some doubt about the volcanoes.As I quote myself @shortbus
"I dont doubt that global warming is happening but is it as a result of human intervention?"
The amount of CO2 that a major volcanic eruption can produce is staggering! But what makes volcano's more damaging than CO2 emissions by humans is that they also release sulpherous compounds, methane and plenty more greenhouse gasses. All it would take is for yellow stone to go off and just like that everything mankind produced looks like a "puff".
Also, the temperature rise leads the CO2 rise, not the other way round!
I agree with what your saying. Water vapor is much more damaging to temperature rise. But there is no way to tax or stop water vapor, so CO2 gets the blame.The amount of CO2 that a major volcanic eruption can produce is staggering!
