Here we go again.

Climate change is not a delusion. It is real. The only debatable part is if any of it is man-caused.

SPC Martin Wiesiolek but it really isn't working because most utilities are switching over to natural gas because it's cheaper than coal. President Trump may have Thomas the coal industry the lifelines but the reality is that it's falling out of favor. I listen to NPR all day when I do my deliveries. I'm a quote some unusual sources for my postings on rallypoint and some of them are Canadian sources to but I also listen to NPR about 2 hours a day.

Yes, I am the contrarian and the minority is growing. We can't stop the Climate Emergency. We are in between ice ages.

I studied and worked in atmospheric physics, space physkcs, and stuff tangential to climatology and meteorology a long while when I'd been in, I trained under very serious scientists, a s know full well not all of the topic, though I was certainly exposed to a good deal of it...the last thing the whole topic is, most definitely, is nonsense, I can positively assure you...I wasn't a meteorologist or climatologist, however, I worked under very closely related people, took grad coursework with them, I got extremely familiar with many aspects of the field, enough to most definitely be at least quite convinced of that aspect, I assure you....

I read the piece, at least sufficiently to.get the basic gist...there is a good deal.of.truth in it, though I am not in the least impressed by his mind, or his having gone to the Technion at 13, which I think is a wholly inappropriate age to be allowed into such an institution, however, that, of course, is neither here nor there for the discussion of the article...if one looks.at the entire phenomenon of smog in cities, that localized instances of atmospheric damage quite clearly do occur, certainly...further, UV solar energy has long been known to cause dissociation of various nitrous species in the atmosphere, esp at stratospheric altitudes, and, I am fairly certain, also with both CO2 as well.as.CO...such photochemical dissociation can and has been quite clearly shown to interact with O2 to generate ozone (O3), as well.as.such species as NO+, NO2, which further damage and interact with the atmosphere at stratospheric altitudes, as well...one of the researchers I'd taken grad coursework with on aeronomy had a very serious interest in atmospheric damage associated with aircraft exhaust at such stratospheric altitudes, and covered changes in optical.path length as a result very extensively, I assure you...I am well.aware of the air-ocean interface variations he suggests in the article...however, thermal inversions in various smog-ridden cities, whether the smog was due to car exhaust, or possibly coal-fired power plants, is exceptionally well docjmented, as is acid rain stemming from such atmospheric contaminants...his article this has a good many valid points, however, it totally omits those other aspects of mentioned, and of which I have long been well.aware scientifically, as I'd explained...as I'd also.said, I'm obv not a.meteorologist or climatologist, I merely worked with many who were, or did tangential work to.such fields, or took grad coursework with such serious researchers, that's all...I've also read a good deal.on synoptic meteology, mesoscale.atmospheric dynamics, atmospheric numerical modeling, and several other related.areas, sufficient to know reasonably well the types.of.atmospheric and/or climatologic modeling techniques normally used...I spent a good deal.of.time on the theoretic models covered in the grad level.astronomy coursework I'd taken, as well as chatted with the faculty member who taught the course, and was an atmospheric researcher where I'd been...he was extremely well-published,.his presentations were extremely.detailed,.and his mathematical techniques, as well.as.knowledge.of.atmospheric photochemistry quite advanced, I assure you...I hope that at least.amplifies somewhat my views as to why I posed what I did, if you'd care to know more, so.far.as I can elaborate, I'll certainly try to do.so, I merely wanted to emphasize I'm not expert in the field, I merely worked in related.areas,.as.I'd said, and had the exposure I described, that was all, nothing more, honest, I hope that answer is at least basically adequate....

Capt Daniel Goodman I think President Trump was alluding to the magnetic field caused by is the brushes of the spinning Windmill Farms which I don't think will cause any Electric or magnetic problems to humans that are even at the base of the windmill. I believe only a technician who lived up there for 10 years next to the spinning generating portion of the windmills could possibly get some minor magnetic effect to his body. I believes that Rally Point comment was a mistake.

I follow...I'd obv known of high tension line electric field effects for those living near such power wires, that's certainly real...however, I can assure you that, from all I've seen and read, pure magnetic field causes essentially zero damage to human tissue, unless it's at an incredibly high level in Teslas...MRI effects aside, of course, which occur purely for instrumentation in the body, or other metallic objects brought in range...however, biodiesel itself, while it can and I've seen material on pure electric field effects, or 60 Hz AC high power generating high EM power levels near homes, purely magnetic fields, aside from their use in transactional magnetic stim (TMS) equipnent, I've never seen any material on damage from that to biotissue...I perceive your point about the windmill farms, however, I'd agree there "might" be possible effects from 60 Hz AC at sufficient electric field radiated, though not, I'd think, from any purely magnetic effect, per se...EM energy is NOT the same thing as a purely AS magnetic fiekd...electric fiekds, as I'd said, THAT, whether AS or DC, I HAVE seen serious biohazard possibilities discussed due to long term exposure, for homes built sufficiently close to AS power lines at high enough AC voltages, however, that's all I've ever seen, honest...the windmill aspect of never heard raised before you'd mentioned it, though...their magnetic effect, I very strongly doubt would be deleteriohs...their electric field effect, whether AC or DC, that, as I'd said "might" conceivably generate a problem, if close enough for long enough, at sufficiently high intensity levels, I'd think....

Science is not static. New research makes changes. When people say it can only be one way...I remember: The earth is flat; coffee is bad, coffee is good, eggs are bad...and good. So, at the time of the discovery of the Americas...people said those sailors would fall off the end of earth. Did it happen or did science evolve? Is the earth flat or round? What did they say in the 1500s?
What will they say about global warming or climate change in 500 years from now?
