How do we Know Human are Causing Climate Change?

[Paracetamol63]

no it's not.

Why not? If they are mandated by law to pay out $X and a "tax break" is provided to them by fiat of the IRS, then they have that $X to put back into the company.

It really sounds like exactly the same thing.

Why do you feel it isn't an economic benefit to a company to have a lower tax burden?

 

[Paracetamol63]

where is it changing?

On earth.

oil companies don't receive subsidies, they get tax breaks. Whole different thing.

I don't believe that oil companies get unique tax breaks that other companies don't get. Anybody want to provide a link that shows a unique tax break or subsidy?

so in order to accommodate solar panels and windmills we must cut our existing trees down. wow. How environmentally correct is that?

 

[jc456]

On earth.

how is earth changing? Climate has always changed on earth, what is unique?

Um, there's far more downside than that. Still no permanent disposal of the radioactive waste ever accomplished. Zero. Every reactor still heavily subsidized. None privately insurable. Nada. Such a crap way to produce electric power that even France finds itself being a net importer now. The industry remains fueled solely by corrupt, warmongering political interests. For mercy's sake, stick a fork in it and kiss it goodbye.

OMG! That's awful! Do the employees take it home, like Homer Simpson?

How?

None privately insurable.

Don't they have an insurance fund?

That's terrible! Are they going to burn more coal now, like Germany?

I don't recall anyone providing it.

So in other words you're just anti-abortion and anti women.

how am I anti women If I don't want babies killed? what if the baby was a girl, you're killing it. I'd say you hate women.

If you've got to ask..

Thanks!

That link was pretty funny.

The United States subsidises fossil fuels with $649 billion of taxpayers money that goes straight into the shareholder’s pockets.

Fossil fuel pollution costs Americans $240 billion per year, just in weather extremes it causes.

When does the comedy end and the accounting begin?
Maybe your next link?

sure they would. who's gonna pay for them to be deployed? I'm still waiting on that answer.

I read your post I don't think you're really interested in solar panels you're just interested in condemning them. Do you work for Big oil or big coal ? Or in a job that's depends on them.

I live in a place where it rains about 6 months out of the year. He still thinks it's a great investment. And I can't argue since he doesn't pay electricity bills.

He sounds like an idiot.
Of course with all the taxpayer dollars being thrown around, even idiotic ideas can get funded.

Why do you think they have all those lobbyists. They're getting away with murder.

how is earth changing? Climate has always changed on earth, what is unique?

We are getting warmer. In the past we got warmer when the sun put out more energy or whatever, but right now the scientists say the sun can't account for the warming we see. So we look around and check all the other things that can cause warming NATURALLY and we don't see any of those in the "warm up" phase.

So it's a question: what is causing it? Well, the science indicates that about half of the warming (or more) that we are seeing NOW can't be attributed to natural things only. But it makes sense when we start looking at what humans are doing.

Suddenly the warming MAKES SENSE. It "lines up" with the factors that are causing it. And at least half if not more of that is apparently due to human activities.

Explicit subsidies accounted for only 8 percent of the total.

Thanks.
That was even funnier.

He sounds like an idiot.

Well, between him and me my utility bill says otherwise.

Of course with all the taxpayer dollars being thrown around, even idiotic ideas can get funded.

I don't believe he got any "subsidies", just a tax break that was not all that great.

In the state of Nebraska the power company has to buy any extra power that an individual or individual entity produces in excess of what they need. On one of the hilltops in Blair a man put in a windmill and has solar panels he has never paid for electricity since in fact The electric company has sent him checks on occasion.

That's awesome!
Now all his neighbors get to help pay for his idiocy.

Typo in the above it should read. How much do solar panels cost ? ( 2022 Guide )- This Old House. Sorry about that didn't check how the voice machine printed out the words.

Math is hard for some people.

Yeah, a tax credit is a subsidy.

At least 95% of the country would benefit from solar panels. There's a small section of the Pacific Northwest which is least feasible for installation and productivity.

Not if they had to pay for them with their own money.
