Todd, I'd like you to read the whole thing of course, but I especially want you to think of things I've said to you about the varying cost of taking care of problems earlier rather than later, as you read the very last sentence.

Great! SO even if we abandoned this NET ZERO insanity, it is going to happen anyway? So why are we doing this bullshit?

:dunno:
 
Story #3, even the banks are starting to find these ESG metrics are bullshit. . . .

You never answered my question about investing to insulate every building in the US.
Is a bad investment made better by making it earlier rather than later?

Todd, I'm not stupid and you know this. Obviously there are good investments and bad investments, though the actual nature of any investment is not fully knowable in advance. You think the mitigation measures recommended by the IPCC and others are a bad investment. I disagree. I think like almost any problem, the earlier one deals with it, the more economically it can be dealt with. Let's look at your hypothetical. Which would have been cheaper and more effective: insulating every structure in US at the time of their construction or going back afterward and adding it? Obviously, the former. Argue the proper question with me Todd. The cost of dealing with the effects of global warming will be monstrous. The cost of having moved away from fossil fuels when first recommended (say, twenty years ago) would have been a tiny fraction of what we will now end up paying. And the longer we put it off, the more it will cost us. This is a truism and I don't understand an intelligent person such as yourself arguing against it.

Do you think AOC's "idea" to insulate every building in America is a good or bad investment?

Tell your buddies to support fracking and nuclear.

But the greens are against the things that will give us cheap, reliable energy.

And the longer we put it off, the more it will cost us.

Or we could wait until someone else comes up with cheap, reliable renewable energy and buy it from them.

This is a truism and I don't understand an intelligent person such as yourself arguing against it.

Germany is paying triple what we pay for electricity, now, have they stopped global warming yet?

You are going to have to provide more information. If you're talking about the suggestion that the government provide incentives for homeowners to improve insulation, I think that is probably a good investment.

Fracking doesn't help. Replacing coal with natural gas provides a small benefit, but a better investment is to replace coal with non-emitting technologies.

But the greens are against the things that will give us cheap, reliable energy.
Once again, we run into the dilemma that you see no value in non-emitting energy technologies while I do and thus you and I assign different values to these things. You also add "cheap and reliable" in an attempt to rule out alternative technologies but, in fact, fossil fuel-powered technologies are getting more and more expensive and photovoltaics have already beaten them in cost per kWh.

And the longer we put it off, the more it will cost us.

Or we could wait until someone else comes up with cheap, reliable renewable energy and buy it from them.

Waiting is what we cannot do. If such a development is on the horizon, it will come whether we act now or later. But later is guaranteed to cost us more, particularly when you're simply waiting for pie in the sky. You're smarter than that.

This is a truism and I don't understand an intelligent person such as yourself arguing against it.

They've helped more than we have.

Todd, you KNOW the arguments you've got to bring here - pardon my French - suck. There's a reason for that. You're on the wrong side, dude.

Incentives? Didn't the GND pay for it 100%?
Is a $10,000 investment that saves $200 a year good today?
What if you did it 20 years ago? Still good? Better?

Small benefit? Isn't that the main reason for the huge decline in US CO2 over the last 20 years?

You can replace the coal with "non-emitting technologies" but you still can't replace the reliability.

There may be value, up to a certain point, but you still need nat gas and nuclear to back up that unreliable green power.

photovoltaics have already beaten them in cost per kWh.

How cheap is that solar at 10 pm?

We sure the hell can wait.

Acting now (the last 20 years) is why Germany pays triple what we pay.
Maybe they should have waited until today, "when solar is cheapest"? LOL!
Meanwhile, Chinese increases swamp Germany's decrease.

But later is guaranteed to cost us more.

Look at the huge decrease in renewable costs. Tomorrow is cheaper than today.
Next year, cheaper still.

That’s what happens in an interglacial cycle.
 
But, as you know, the current phase of our glacial cycle is one of cooling. Despite that, global temperatures are increasing because the radiant forcing factor of our increasing GHG levels is overwhelming the glacial cycle drivers. Increasing temperatures will eventually melt Greenland (and Antarctica and all the world's glaciers) no matter their cause.

Thank goodness. As bad as warmer is, advancing glaciers would be 10 times worse.
