I don’t believe anything that so called climate experts say about the environment. In my lifetime the threat of climate cooling was a threat, later global warming. Now climate change is all the rage. It’s usually about money or control. 

 

Maybe farmers are more your speed. They're basically saying the same thing about climate change but focus more on the immediate effects, along with the financial companies that insure the crops.

 

I can tell you're a headline reader and don't go much beyond that. The 70's "ice age" theory wasn't a consensus, but it was studied as a possible model at a time when data was still being collected on warming models.

That makes sense because they DO have at least the executive and congressional leadership under control. So far majority of Supreme Court too. 
Thanks for clarifying.

Exxon had internal studies that confirmed warming in early 70’s but sat on it. Now 36% of us don’t care.

There isn’t much we can do about climate change. Yes the climate changes. I don’t disagree with that. Pollution we can fix that. And have. Changing the climate, ridiculous. Headline reader, please. 🤣🤣🤣.

We can fix pollution (and apparently already have?), but we can't slow the man-made contribution to warming? Hint: Pollution is one of the causes of climate change.

 

I'll bet when Texas sees freezing temperatures there are a lot of guys walking around saying "gee, I guess global warming isn't real!" 🥴

Climate change is what it is. It's part of living on this land and has happened since the dawn of time. It goes from cold to hot. 

 

Cows farting or polution have zero to do with anything but air quality.  

 

Anyone who lives in the DFW can tell you, during the lock down the sky's were clear AF! Lmao 🤣

It’s fun watching the gullible buy into the nonsense. Time and time again they shift the narrative to suit their agenda. Mostly for money. Remember Al Gore. He made millions off his Global Warming nonsense. Wasn’t New York supposed to be under water by now. I remember driving to work in the seventies. It was the coming ice age. It was everywhere. Then it changed. That was the beginning of my questioning so called experts. And it’s my opinion. Just like everyone else’s.

Yes, this is true. You understand the climate changes throughout time because scientists and researchers told you so. And you can find evidence that shows you how the landscape has changed over time where ice once was. But when the same scientists show you the alarming rate of change in the past couple hundred years, change that outpaces previous change and looks very different, you think it's a lie.

 

Furthermore, people who don't believe in man-made climate change because of political and financial motivations simultaneously ignore the effort to bury, discredit, hide, and alter the findings. Take notice of large oil companies quietly diversifying and investing in cleaner energy. If you believe money ultimately leads to the truth, then, why are the deniers ignoring this?

 

The gullible swallowed the 70's ice age theory hook, line, and sinker, pole. Nobody would have cared except the media reported it, and the gullible are still talking about it 40 years later because they assumed it was fact and now use it to discredit real data on warming models. It's ridiculous how people say they don't believe the media, and then use regurgitated fact (from the media) to refute new data. 

 

You are also correct about the huge impact just a few weeks of widespread habit changes cleaned the air. Lockdowns aren't the answer to pollution, but Covid offered a rare glimpse of what a cleaner energy future could look like for air quality. So we agree that man definitely has a controllable interest in our own air quality.

 

Should we talk about water next?

I like this,  give me a few to reply as I'm out and about.

If people only knew the lies told.

Some times you have to make it make sense.

No, don't believe what scientists state as their "research" is funded from the same group that pushes the narrative.  It gets deep. Won't go there for the sake of this thread. Keeping it simple enough...

I agree humans destroy this land and water. The change in its condition will happen the more it is colonized, the more time passes and the way it's creator wants it to. Nothing stays the same forever.

Yes, I personally ignore anything they say. Again why should I pay any attention to facts biased toward a narrative?

If you truly understood that companies and people with more money and less moral then you run the show...

Now make this make sense. Our country has oil, yet we buy elswhere. This land has no shortage of anything. Except humble people.

The government is full of folks with their hands in oil and oil companies have the governments hands in thier pockets. This is fact.

 

So yeah pay attention to an oil company secretly turning green. I mean didnt the gov want to go green? Its just not going to work.

Make it make sense k. Think, if the gov cared about going green... they would of converted to water power along time ago. Fact is there's ZERO money to be made in that respect. 

 

Let's see how the young black man who is turning plastic into petro succeeds in changing the world. That's the ultimate go green project for EVERY government. Issue is there's no money to be made then either as we would just use recycled plastic..

 

Having a non biased outlook on life will really help see through man's bull.

 

Water💧, let's go... 👋

Let me know when you get there.

 

Perhaps a more realistic goal is to recognize bias and how bias hardens opinions.

Sorry no bias here.  Maybe if I was not speaking facts.  I get it though.  Have a great one.

Enjoy the weekend.

Everyone has bias, and that's a fact.

    • I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality. 
    • We had two Toyota’s with that engine in the mid 80s. We had 50 gallon fuel tanks, a toolbox full of tools, an air compressor and assorted parts for our equipment. We beat those up and down pipeline ROWs until we started buying diesel trucks. Then they became parts runners and first vehicles for our teenagers first cars. Our shop Forman wrecked them both two years apart when we hired him out of high school as an apprentice. Good thing he’s an excellent mechanic. It took awhile before he could be called a good driver.
    • I have a 2025 GMC Canyon Denali.   On a trip recently the engine failed.  The dealership diagnosed a bent valve and says there is a service bulletin that indicates to 'relace the engine'.  The truck only has about 14K miles and is under warranty.   The failure occurred 5/11/2026.   So far I have worked with GM Customer Assistance and Roadside Assistance.  Evidently no engines are available and nobody will offer a date when a new one will be.   Coming up on two months with no repair or timeline and no loaner from the dealership.   GMC Customer Assistance is 'ghosting' me and keeps closing the cases I've opened with no resolution.   Hoping someone can help me on how to escalate this issue.
