It's Climate Change I tell'ya!! IT'S CLIMATE CHANGE!!

Great , but none of that is in the climate debate .

Well, that's true. Burning fossil fuels has nothing to do with climate.

What are fossil fuels?

Taking the lead and sulphur out of gasoline didn’t stop the burning of fossil fuels .

What are fossil fuels?

A not-entirely-accurate catchall term for coal in its various grades and petroleum products.

The term itself is a fossil from the "enlightenment age" as an extremely dumbed down 17th century way of explaining geologically sourced hydrocarbons which eventually lead to thinking geo-sourced hydrocarbons were from dinosaurs later on in the 19th century which still hasn't been shaken off to this day.

Follow the Science!!!

But if global warming is good for people, sulfur dioxide must be amazing!

I offer you Los Angeles as an example. Back in the day, it was shrouded in a permanent cloud of toxic smoke. It was where the term "smog" came from. And those were LA's glory days.

Same thing with London (England) in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Toxic air, poisonous water, and the glories of the Empire.

Given those two correlations, should we not at least examine the possible link between toxic air and water and socio-economic greatness?

Say what you will about clean air and fresh water and green growing things, the fuckin' Ozarks ain't exactly the most desirable real estate on the planet, now are they?

You’re talking about air toxins and not climate change here. Yes those needed to be addressed as did acid rain, and they were addressed.

Climate change appears to be real. But like every other damn thing these days, the pissing and moaning (and the lawmaking and taxing) have far outrun the research into causes and cures (if we need cures).

But it gives Canadians a reason to exercise their national pastime, pissing and moaning.

There is no cure for a rapidly transiting geomagnetic pole. The sun's energy slams into our magnetosphere and atmosphere in places and ways it didnt just 50 years ago.


The southward drop in the pole and the timeline corelates with "the little ice age".

Its by far the biggest geophysical change to Earth in the past 175 years.
