Wow They Had A Climate Scientist On MSNBC Talking About How Climate

[DanieRains]

Change will make extreme weather worse.

I can't believe it.

1. That IS mind-blowing ... I mean, who knew?

Or did you mean you're surprised the corporate media allowed talk of this nature on their airwaves?

Surely they had someone from like the Energy Resources Council (or some shit like that) on at the same time, ya know, to provide 'balance'?

2. Better check that channel again...

Must of been the science channel

3. Did they give any ideas on how to stop it?

I know electric cars seem to be the main Avenue in controlling the climate, but did they give any other suggestions? Any word on trying to convince India, Russia and China because without them, it will be impossible to beat.

4. Well, electric cars are doing something

Probably not enough on its own, but every bit is going to help.

6. The energy sector that can most reduce fossil fuel use is electricity

Many cities and states have near term goals to be net zero. My town, Burlington VT, already is using a mix of hydroelectric, solar, wind, and biomass - using trees that fall in forests.

Another segment is reducing the energy to heat buildings - and there the low hanging fruit for years has been weatherization.

As to the other countries, that HAS been the goal of both Paris and Glasgow. One area that did not do as well as the diplomats in Paris wanted was to create a fund to help poorer developing nations "jump" directly to clean energy rather than dirty fuel. This really has to happen and - much as happens when countries commit to helping after a catastrophe - the money received is often no where near what is committed.

5. I had a idea for a climate change PSA based on the AMD's commercials a while back...

"Climate change didn't make the tornado, it made them worse"

and do the same thing for hurricanes, forest fires, droughts, snowstorms and flooding.

7. Was it a clip from 20 years ago?

[Raine]

8. Gosh they actually allowed that kind of info to get out 😱

their sponsors are not going to be happy!

[jalan48]

9. Did they link it to the BBB and the climate provisions in the bill? Did they reach out to Joe

Manchin for a response?

10. I suspect a number of DUers will die or face extreme hardship in the near future.

It's going to get biblical.

11. A sign that people are understanding the seriousness will be the mass migrations out of such areas.
