Bill Nye on climate change: ‘It’s not 50 to 75 years away — it’s 10 or 15’

It's not 10-15 years away, it's now.
That's why I don't understand all of this misdirected focus on Stormy Daniels and RUSSIA!!RUSSIA!RUSSIA!! and Trump's tax returns ... or even all of this focus on Trump himself. CLIMATE CHANGE is one problem we can say for sure that both Democrats AND Republicans had a hand in creating. Has EITHER party slowed just the increase in CO2 emissions, or is this just virtue signalling by partisan Dems?
Let's get our priorities straight: Our military is the largest single user of energy in the entire world. As long as we're warring with everybody, not only will we (and they) have to keep pumping energy into moving our military around, we (and they) will also continue to expend energy making all of that military equipment and arms ... ships, fighter jets, tanks, armored vehicles. Just think: We could save roughly 3% (or more) of our CO2 emissions, and Russia could save about 5%, just by throttling back our military spending.
Transportation and electricity generation are the largest categories of energy use. Transporation can be reduced by localizing production and with better landuse planning, and electricity can be saved by power grid improvements (eg DC instead of AC transmission) but the reality is that as long as our financial system relies on endless growth in order just to survive, we will be doomed to horrible death.

DC woud be drasticly less efficient az far az I no. Iz there sum resent development that chanjed the situation?
The Edison vs Tesla war ended with AC winning. DC woud hav required a power plant for every square mile due to the line loss inherent in DC.

Long distance DC transmission has always been more efficient than AC. My phone doesn't support copying urls so I'll have to do that later. The AC lines are cheaper, but they act like giant transmission antennae and radiate energy at the frequency of transmission. You can actually pick that up by holding up a florescent light under the high voltage lines, the energy loss will light the tube.
The high voltage line from the northwest to the southwest, the Pacific Intertie, is DC.

Quote:Both REAVERBOT and you are total fools. REAVERBOT cited the most ridiculous article claiming that very thing, which said that "their" plan was to recruit disaffected black Americans and train them - in Africa, of all places- so that they could wage urban warfare on Americans.

That's only slightly more ridiculous than claiming that Trump paid hookers to pee on him in a Moscow hotel.
Jeez. I mean, really ... how gullible ARE the two of you??? Don't you recognize disinformation when you read it?
If I were Russian (which I'm not) I'd be laughing my ass off at the lot of you. The only way that America can be destabilized is exactly the way YOU'RE doing it: By getting people to stop thinking of themselves as "Americans" and stop trying to find common interest. By disputing the idea that "American citizen" does - or even should- mean anything. By harping on race and gender and political party until people think of themselves as "women" or "Democrats" or "blacks" or "Hispanics" or "Christians" or "whites" first. By attacking and defaming anyone who doesn't agree with you. By polarizing everyone with your rabid slavering attacks.
Yeah, THAT'LL solve our problems! [/snark]
Jeez. If you and people like you weren't such gorram tools then there wouldn't be any way to "destabilize" America in the first place.
You don't need Russian "help" to destabilize America, you're doing a great job, all on your own.
Good job!
****
Now, do you suppose that we can get back to the topic at-hand (human extinction) and stop wasting time on your stupid delusion?
