What did your grandkids say?
What’s the point of that question. This isn’t supposed to be a pissing contest. You keep trying to tell me I don’t have a clue, and I keep trying to demonstrate that actually. I do have clue and we could discuss this in a civil constructive manner, if you ever decided to.
As for the grandkids, you got some nerve, what’s that any of your business? Heck, I’m not even allowed to ask you your age, without a circus routine, you pompous joker.
Speaking of kids in general the corporate media machine has 'em all plugged in. Then you wonder why I’m cynical toward cries of SOLUTION, SOLUTION, SOLUTION. Heck you’re a great example, it’s obvious you are totally clueless as to what’s actually happening within our planet’s biosphere and climate engine.
When you told them there is no hope and no point in pushing for change. What did they say to you?
You work hard at misrepresenting what others tell you, don’t you? I also notice you have no interesting in absorbing what others are striving to share with you.
Hope is a survival strategy in hopeless time. But that doesn’t stop our minds from calculating evidence = outcomes.
Ironically, you’re the hopeless joker in this conversation, running about chasing your tail without ever adding anything of substance.
So how old are you Tex?
The Bot tell me to " Encourage everyone to get involved in the conversation" - consider yourself invited. 🤠
The Bot also suggests: " And don’t forget, if you’d like to continue your conversation with this particular user at length outside of public view, send them a personal message."
Silly Bot, must not have been around enough to realize that there's no having a serious dialogue with Tex. I continue conversing with him for any audience that may be out there, trying to lure in some other voices don't ya know. ☺️Perhaps a little update is in order, to get the conversation back to looking at the pace of Climate Change here in 2021

No bananas Cc? Can’t own your words and then demands respect as a serious commentator
@djtexas, I’m sensing that you had a pretty tough childhood, how bad was it?
Just cause you’re all angry at everyone, doesn’t make me the enemy.
A little counseling might help you get your bearings straightened out a little better.
Good luck.
You’re a waste of time. Enjoy the rest of your time on earth talking to yourself

And @write4u, the full solar cycle is virtuous is it? Why are Germany’s emissions up by a quarter again?
Do you hear voices or something ? What do Germany’s emissions have to do with solar cycles?
@djtexas - what with your nonstop baiting? What are you trying to accomplish?
Did you read that Sydney Morning Herald article?
Do you have the first clue of what they are talking about?
Tex, do you I have an ounce of compassion within that petty obnoxious exterior of your’s?
This is for real and it’s happening now. Form the article you shared:
UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said Monday’s release of the Working Group I Report was “a code red for humanity”.
“The alarm bells are deafening, and the evidence is irrefutable: greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel burning and deforestation are choking our planet and putting billions of people at immediate risk,” he said in statement. “Global heating is affecting every region on earth, with many of the changes becoming irreversible.”
Even under the most ambitious emission reduction scenarios, the world is likely to be heated to 1.5 degrees or more above pre-industrial levels by 2040, exposing it to the sort of extreme weather ravaging Europe and North America, the most comprehensive analysis yet undertaken of climate change shows.
The latest report by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) will be central to climate negotiations to be held in Glasgow in November, and confirms the planet is warming in step with rising greenhouse gas pollution. …
What you think of me, doesn’t matter one piece of dog poop.
Also a reminder, this is a civil discuss forum with participants who are supposed to follow certain rule of etiquette and constructive dialogue, I’m pretty sure your speciality of nonstop pea shooting belligerence, is against CFI standard. Go ahead and ask the mods if you don’t want to take my word for it.

Climate Science as Culture War
The public debate around climate change is no longer about science—it’s about values, culture, and ideology.
… The meeting began at 7 a.m., and while I was still nursing my first cup of coffee, the potential donor began the conversation with “I think the scientific review process is corrupt.” I asked what he thought of a university based on that system, and he said that he thought that the university was then corrupt, too.
He went on to describe the science of climate change as a hoax, using all the familiar lines of attack—sunspots and solar flares, the unscientific and politically flawed consensus model, and the environmental benefits of carbon dioxide.
As we debated each point, he turned his attack on me, asking why I hated capitalism and why I wanted to destroy the economy by teaching environmental issues in a business school. Eventually, he asked if I knew why Earth Day was on April 22. I sighed as he explained, “Because it is Karl Marx’s birthday.” (I suspect he meant to say Vladimir Lenin, whose birthday is April 22, also Earth Day. This linkage has been made by some on the far right who believe that Earth Day is a communist plot, even though Lenin never promoted environmentalism and communism does not have a strong environmental legacy.)
I turned to the development officer and asked, “What’s our agenda here this morning?” The donor interrupted to say that he wanted to buy me a ticket to the Heartland Institute’s Fourth Annual Conference on Climate Change, the leading climate skeptics conference. …
OMG! All those chemicals that make up plastic are now in the air. Not a good thing. If playground equipment were still made of metal, we might not be talking about the chemicals from plastic too. We’d just be talking about the carbon and how it affects Climate Change, but the plastic chemicals will affect it too. I often wonder we are doomed as a species.
Tex, what’s your solution for this?
About the only advice I really have is enjoy today to the best of your abilities, because it’s the best day of the rest of your life.
It’s a profound tragedy - and then to hear your kind of empty angry belligerence, is particularly demoralizing. I can appreciate your unfocused rage at all this happening, but you aren’t helping anything.
And I’m not your enemy.
The Dems plan to cut U.S. carbon emissions by 2030. That is something the Repugs would never do, much less say they will and don’t, because they won’t.
Not enough and anyway how will this be done? Regulations, moth balling coal plants, carbon tax etc or will it be all please pretty please??
It really doesn’t matter what anyone says does it DJ? You will have this same response. I’m editing out your insults. You should start doing that yourself. They add nothing to the conversation.
