Thanks for ruining my subscription inbox Joe Rogan

Jawline is crazy 😂😂

Bruh thanks for dropping these on RU-vid but Jesus Christ over 300 videos at once my sub feed is all fkd now 😂

JAMIE SWEATING RIGHT NOW LOL

What's up with the endless uploads . I thought something was wrong with my subscription feed lol.

Hey there! Let's have a chat about climate change, specifically about CO2 and its role in the whole debate. You know, the conversation around climate change has become pretty polarized, with alarmists on one side and realists on the other. But what if we take a step back and look at the bigger picture? Let’s dive into some often overlooked aspects of renewable energy and why the science behind climate change might not be as settled as some claim. Solar Power: Bright but Not Always Green First up, solar power. While it’s great in theory, the production of solar panels isn't as green as it sounds. Mining and processing materials like silicon and rare earth elements are energy-intensive and often rely on fossil fuels, contributing to CO2 emissions. Plus, the production process generates toxic waste, including hazardous chemicals like cadmium and lead, which can leach into the soil and water if not properly disposed of. And once solar panels reach the end of their 25-30 year lifespan, disposal becomes a big challenge due to these toxic materials, with recycling not being straightforward or widely practiced. Wind Power: Clean Energy with Dirty Secrets Wind power also has its hidden environmental costs. Wind turbines require a lot of materials like steel and rare earth elements, and extracting and processing these materials can be damaging to the environment. The manufacturing process relies heavily on fossil fuels, contradicting the net-zero goals we often hear about. Wind farms need large areas of land, disrupting local ecosystems and wildlife habitats. Offshore wind farms can affect marine ecosystems and local fishing industries. Plus, recycling wind turbine blades, made from composite materials, is difficult, with many ending up in landfills. The Fossil Fuel Paradox Interestingly, the production of both solar panels and wind turbines requires significant energy, much of which comes from fossil fuels. This means the initial carbon footprint of renewables is higher than often acknowledged. When you consider the entire lifecycle of renewables-from mining and production to installation and disposal-their environmental impact becomes more apparent. The carbon savings during the operational phase are partly offset by emissions generated during other phases. The Pitfalls of Green Tech: Batteries and Beyond Batteries, crucial for storing renewable energy, also have significant environmental impacts. Mining materials like lithium and cobalt causes habitat destruction and water pollution. The production of batteries is energy-intensive and relies heavily on fossil fuels, contributing to CO2 emissions. Recycling batteries is costly and not yet widely implemented, leading to concerns about future waste and resource management. Improper disposal of batteries can lead to soil and water contamination due to toxic chemicals. The Role of Carbon Dioxide in Climate Change Now, let's talk about CO2. At current levels of around 420 parts per million (ppm), CO2's effectiveness as a greenhouse gas is significantly diminished, a phenomenon known as saturation in radiation physics. This means further increases in CO2 levels will not lead to catastrophic global warming or extreme weather events; any additional warming would be minimal and potentially beneficial. Impact of Net Zero Emissions Policies Efforts to reduce CO2 emissions to net zero by 2050 are projected to have an insignificant impact on global temperatures. Achieving net zero emissions in the U.S. would reduce temperatures by only 0.015°F, and worldwide efforts would yield a reduction of 0.13°F. These policies could disrupt the transportation sector, jeopardize reliable electricity supply, increase household costs, and threaten food security due to reduced availability of nitrogen fertilizers. Additionally, global renewable energy investments are projected to reach $12 trillion, potentially leading to economic downturns and job losses. Carbon Dioxide and Agricultural Productivity Interestingly, higher CO2 levels could enhance agricultural productivity. CO2 is essential for photosynthesis, and increased concentrations can boost crop yields. Doubling CO2 levels to 800 ppm could increase global food availability by approximately 60%. Evaluating Climate Data and Trends Most of the all-time high temperature records in the U.S. were set in the early 20th century, particularly the 1930s. Recent data shows no sustained increase in daily high temperatures, with warming trends more pronounced during winter months and at higher latitudes, suggesting natural climatic variability rather than a direct result of increased CO2. Water vapor, which constitutes about 95% of all greenhouse gases, plays a much larger role in climate regulation than CO2 and methane. Reassessing the Climate Change Narrative Climate models often focus on CO2 and can be flawed due to incorrect assumptions. Natural factors like solar activity, water vapor, and cloud cover play a more critical role in climate regulation. Some climate scientists who challenge the mainstream narrative face professional repercussions, highlighting the need for more open and critical scientific discourse. Conclusion So, there you have it! The production and disposal of renewable energy technologies like solar panels, wind turbines, and batteries involve significant environmental impacts and rely heavily on fossil fuels. The role of CO2 as the primary driver of climate change is increasingly questioned by emerging scientific evidence, emphasizing natural factors like water vapor and solar activity. Policies targeting net zero emissions by 2050 may offer minimal climatic benefits while causing significant economic and social harm. Let’s take a step back, reconsider the narrative, and strive for a more balanced and comprehensive approach to environmental sustainability.

It is time to seperate money and state from each other. You have to learn about bitcoin beefore it's to late! Bitcoin, NOT Crypto. I have nothing to gain from this comment, I just want people to educate themselves about it and then make their own opinion.

I'm unsubscribing lol

First?

First view, first comment

Wonder how transphobic this conversation is going to be
