The climate is always changing whether or not humans exist.

that being said, I’m all for cleaner air and water.

All I know is that solar power won’t keep you warm in Chicago when it’s below zero out. We are a long way from the technology to run without fossil or nuclear fuels.

China is onboard today, look at their streets. You are correct that climates do change. Data and real facts suggest that the cause is not natural.

If one is sitting in their living room, with the curtains drawn, and you hear thunder. Hear rain pelting your windows. Your spouse walks in soaking wet, a reasonable person can infer that it is raining. Same goes with rising sea levels, glaciers disappearing at alarming rates.

I'm your density, McFly.

Someone should tell climatologists that the climate changes naturally. They definitely haven’t accounted for this in every single climatological study ever.

Whenever people tell PhDs in Climatology that the climate is always changing, it reminds me of passengers asking me how, if the Earth is round, we just don't fly off into space?

pilots: non-pilots never have a clue about flying. They get everything wrong!

also pilots: let me tell you things about climatology!

It's sad and hilarious for a bunch of so-called educated folks whose careers wouldn't exist without science & engineering.

If I start cancelling AB at 295 instead of 300 kts on every takeoff, that's probably 1 to 2 gallons of JP-8 saved on every takeoff...how many carbon credits do I get? Can I get more if I push Captains to actually single engine taxi on the way back to the gate? I promise I'll use the cash to put some solar panels on my house or something like that.

Perfectly normal nothing to see here...

65 degrees in Antarctica

This February heatwave was the third major melt event of the 2019-2020 summer, following warm spells in November 2019 and January 2020. “If you think about this one event in February, it isn’t that significant,” said Pelto. “It’s more significant that these events are coming more frequently.“

Maybe we should stick to discussing what "bachelor nation" thinks about this latest miscreant. We can all agree he's destroying our reputation.
