    Bloomberg pledging 15m toward the Paris fund. Boggles my mind (ok not really) how many people, conservative, Liberal, and everything in between, are bitching about it.

    Honestly if a meteor were to rocket toward earth tomorrow I'd stand dead center in the fucking impact zone. Tired of idiots.

    Ongoing EPA budget hearing: https://appropriations.house.gov/cal...EventID=394902

    One participant made the point "I don't know how you expect the states to take on more of your (federal) responsibilities without more (federal) funding."


    The entire stream basically seems to be people making good points followed by Pruitt acknowledging their point and then failing to provide a substantive answer. This is what happens when you put a shitty lawyer at the head of the EPA.

    Bloomberg new energy finance came out with their newest forecast for global electricity today.

    A lot of focus on wind/solar growth in this chart.



    If that chart is right, and fossil fuel generation doesn't meaningfully decline between now and 2040, we are epically fucked. 5 degrees celsius below 21st century average temps was an ice age, glaciers over the northern 3rd of the US, etc.

    We are going to find out what 5 degrees above 21st century average feels like. Buckle up kids.

    Pfft, we'll be dead by then.

    to be fair, the millennials are now starting to get close to or have just reached the age to start participating as politicians. in 20 years a lot of the worst of the idiots will be dead and there's going to be a surge of fresh blood that's more likely to have a better stance on climate change. a late start, but by then we'll have probably seen more consequences of climate change by then, so the response is likely to be more fervid.

    I think this is one area where boomers are actually getting an unfairly bad rap. I know people my age and younger who deny climate change. I do not enjoy their company.


    people of all ages are dumb. spin a narrative enough, dumb people will buy it.

    You overestimate the whole generation by a long long margin.

    you think so? even with people 10 years older than me or so ive yet to encounter one talking about global warming in a skeptical light, and lots who talk about it as accepted fact. only people i'm not sure about is maybe the next generation, since i'm well past high school age. im a bit biased, admittingly, as i lived in southern cali and now Michigan, but to be fair it was orange county, which is rather conservative. tons of people my parents age and older were bible thumping republicans who denied global warming, but i never heard a note of dissent with my own generation.

    regardless, it doesn't require everyone to be on track to fixing global warming, only a decent majority to tip the scales.

    Anecdotal evidence doesn't mean much.

    how bout statistical evidence

    A June 2014 Washington Post-ABC News poll asked a nationally representative sample of American respondents several questions about their support for climate policies. Specifically, those surveyed were asked whether they would be in favor of government greenhouse gas regulations that increased their monthly energy expenses by $20 per month. Overall, 63 percent of respondents expressed support for the proposed policy, including 51 percent of Republicans and 71 percent of Democrats.

    Interestingly, there was a significant age gap among the responses. For Democrats under age 40, support for the policy proposal was 78 percent, as compared to 62 percent over age 65. Among Republicans, 61 percent under age 50 supported the proposed regulations, as compared to 44 percent over age 50. According to a Pew Research Center survey, younger Americans are also more likely to correctly answer that the planet is warming and that this warming is primarily due to human activities.
