Steve, as I repeat, the narrative of climate change has been unfortunately polluted by ideology. When science is influenced by ideology, doctrine, politics and so on, it ceases to be true science. Regretfully, the fact that ideology influences the narrative, at both extremes, is evident. On one extreme, some TV stations do not miss the occasion to relate any anomalous even to anthropogenic climate change. On the other, there are still some drastic deniers.

My considerate opinion is that there are some changes occurring and warming has been ascertained but on the causality side it is not perfectly clear what is happening since the information is not reliable.

What I know is that the solution proposed by the hard-core supporters of anthropogenic climate change is to build more nuclear power stations, and that may be a remedy far worse than illness.

GENEVA, Aug 9 – Scientists are observing changes in the Earth’s climate in every region and across the whole climate system, according to the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Report, released today. Many of the changes observed in the climate are unprecedented in thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of years, and some of the changes already set in motion—such as continued sea level rise—are irreversible over hundreds to thousands of years.

However, strong and sustained reductions in emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases would limit climate change. While benefits for air quality would come quickly, it could take 20-30 years to see global temperatures stabilize, according to the IPCC Working Group I report, Climate Change 2021: the Physical Science Basis, approved on Friday by 195 member governments of the IPCC, through a virtual approval session that was held over two weeks starting on July 26.

First of all I would listen to a Master over any human think tank. Amma has been talking about our effect on the environment for over 20 years and has been recommending and is a living example of how to help the human imprint of climate devastation and environmental destruction. I have also noticed that almost all the spiritual Masters and their followers are now advocating a simpler life style that is more beneficial for the environment, and I’d rather no be risking more mistakes that humanity has made in diet, living and our lives result on our environment. It is much better to follow their example than to live a lifestyle that suits most of humanity today. So I am also definitely a supporter of “hard-core anthropogenic climate change” as you have coined it mccoy. However, unlike your analysis above; I am not a supporter of nuclear power at this time for several reasons that do not apply to this specific thread. The human imprint in climate change is now beyond any doubt as far as taking action that would risk not having that view. In plainer words; Can we risk not admitting that we are the main cause of climate change when we are now clearly situated on the abyss presently in regards to our environment?

Secondly listen to the view of Robert Kennedy on nuclear power. ‘As long as insurance companies will not cover the catastrophic effects of nuclear power how can we use it.? ‘ He has recommended solar power and I would include wind power for the time being, these two appear to be much cheaper and safer to use. While I presently still use gasoline for my car, I do have solar panels and limited solar panel use for electricity and heat, so I’m headed in that direction. Many spiritual friends I know use better gas mileage cars and/or cars that use a combination of gas and electricity. When I can afford a car that is more environmentally friendly I will do the same. Presently I recycle ♻️ everything I eat and use and help others do the same. I am also living off the land with my own gardens and attempting to live in housing accommodations more environmentally friendly ~ steve hydonus
