I know my viewpoint. Why don’t you tell me your viewpoint.
Population is causing extinction of wild species. Always has for thousands of years and still will today and tomorrow.
The US policy is to pay people to have more children.
The US policy is to let people stay in America if they have a child here. Which is just another way of immigration. Plus we pay food, housing, medical, and education for that child. Funds that could be used to protect wild species.
All these policies are backed by the Democrat party.
Therefore the Democrat Party is supporting the extinction of wild species. It is that simple. Now go ahead and white wash the facts. Or make it about me and start calling me names. Or just ignore facts and keep bringing up the issue for the next couple of decades.
Plow a field and plant a food crop. You are increasing the natural rate of extinction for wild plants and animals. But you are replacing the plants with food plants. Therefore, you still have as many plants. I will explain again. The pathway to farm was taken 12,400 years ago. All we can do at this point is try and preserve the wild plants and animals the best we can. You can help by changing the policies that force the increase of populations. You know, all the issues you do not talk about or look at as possibly being part of the problem because it is not being push politically.
Raising domesticated food crops instead of wild plants is a form of natural selection caused by over population.
No, you got that wrong. Just like you have not laid out what you call extinction. Is extinction a natural cycle? We have had volcanos and meteor hits for billion of years now. We have had them in the past and will still have them in the future. Can that be considered a cycle? Most meteors come from the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. We sort of have regularly timed “meteor showers”. And a 1 km sized object strikes the Earth about once every million years, and 10 km sized objects about once every 100 million years.
Next, I have no idea what you think Climate Change is. I feel a lot of people have never worked outdoors in the weather. They live in the city and think they should be able to control the outdoor weather like they control the weather inside their home.
If you look at earth from 1980 to 2023. We have 13 years of record-breaking heat. It would be news if we didn’t have an increase in heat. I said on this site a decade ago that we were in a cycle and should have heat increases. That’s because of past cycles show that we in a Lag of moving from Global Warming to Global Cooling. We are never the same when it comes to weather. People pray to God for rain. Or for it to stop raining.
Right now, we are stepping outside of the parameters of where our warm cycle should be. This is because of the Hunga volcano eruption in 2022. How much do understand about volcanos and Climate Change?
As far as Newton’s third law of motion and chemical reactions. Yes, I agree with that when it comes to Climate Change.
Where we differ is, I don’t fully agree with the extinction rate. Extinction rate is controlled by DNA. As an animals DNA advances in the fight for the fittest. So species will become extinct. This process as your are aware sometimes takes hundreds of thousands of years. And that has been proven to correct. And I agree with that when it comes to wild species. But, the domesticated animals, not so true. Those changes can come in decades instead of hundreds of thousands of years. Nature did not protect the changes in DNA from mankind. Example, the chicken has had several DNA changes in decades. Covid is another example. Most of these changes have been to increase protein due to human population increases.
Not true. The industrial age started before carbon base oil.
The cheapest efficient energy by far is geothermal energy. But we don’t use geothermal energy because of political forces. We started on geothermal energy use back in the early 70’s. But the government was wanting to build nuclear energy. And that would not happen if geothermal got going. So, the government went to the colleges and university and next thing you know. The scientists claimed that geothermal would cause earthquakes. Which turned out to be not true. The people were scared and went with what they were told would be the cheapest energy in the world. Almost energy for free. Nuclear. Pretty much like they have been doing with Climate Change. The cheapest energy by far is geothermal. It takes at least 14 to 20 years to build a geothermal plant. No company can afford to pay the costs that long. The government would need to back the funding. Which it will not. The first well in the Geyser field was drilled in 1902. And is still putting out as much energy today as in 1902.
I agree that oil drove the Industrial age. But if oil was not here, we would be using geothermal instead.
I remember the protesters against geothermal energy and for nuclear. I also remember protesters against nuclear energy.
Why is it that most of the stuff you are complaining about is caused by you getting your way. You do the bidding for the rich and the powerful and then complain about the results.
