Anyway, I will bow out at this stage, i'm here purely for the meltdown in a spectator capacity.

 

Keep up the good work .  

Thanks for the contribution...

Maybe it's the accountant in me coming out, but with all the publicly available data out there, to have a position as fervent as yours, speak about it frequently on here and try and influence people to your way of thinking, I'd want some hard evidence to be convinced. The IPCC which you refer to and the IEA have some fantastic free scenario planning tools, you can easily map out the exact effect you think a Harris v Biden policy outlook will have.

I think people will be a lot more easily convinced by you if you did that, rather than simply repeating the world will end if Trump comes in and the people who vote for him are bad.

We've seen overnight that approach does not work

If you're really looking for a serious, absolutely hard-line cited stance on the topic, then I'll post one on the dedicated climate change thread when I have the time to devote to it.

 

Before that, however, I do have to ask what exactly the point of this line of questioning is? Please do enlighten, because I'm not sure.

Point 1, metrics and targets against the global baseline to prove that point pls. There's plenty of publicly available data out there, which I guess you've gathered your viewpoint from?

There's more than enough climate disinformation on this thread and alarmists telling people the world will end. 

God help us. A climate change denier. As a professional academic scientist I read papers and study data and evidence, not sit on the bog and read the ill educated nonsense of ignorant idiots and pretend I know everything.

It's not about, me though is it. The people of the US think he's the better option than the alternative. 

If you actually read my post, you'll see I've lumped you in with the misguided 50%+ of the US electorate who voted for him.

To gather a position as strong as yours, speak about it frequently online and try to convince people that you're right whilst demeaning others for voting for burger man, I'd expect at least some factual backing to it. And to gain that backing is extremely easy in the information age with all data publicly available. If we can put together a 100+ page deck on a climate impact for a private company with limited mgt info, you can easily gather substantive data to support your view that Harris is a messiah and Trump is evil.

You see so many online talking about issues they simply don't know anything about. For example, I wouldn't dream of going into multiple threads on this site and telling people what to do whilst predicting the end of the world, because I don't have a clue. I expressed an opinion on UK uni's with a proviso that I could be wrong.

I assumed you had at the minimum done a scenario analysis on Harris v Trump to back up such a strong stance. You have been on this thread saying on a daily basis that Trump will end the world with such fervour, expect to be asked for some support for that. 

It is ok to have a moderate stance and opinion btw.

Enjoy sitting on here all day crying about the election result in another country and calling people stupid. Academic scientist my arse 😂

At the very least, I hope that a proportion of those who voted for Trump did so with good intentions and are still happy to respect the individual rights of different people to live their lives how they please, in ways that don't physically harm anyone else.

Nah, he doesn't deny the effects its having, I think (underscore think) that he thinks it's either too late to do much or business will save us in spite of what Trump does.

 

As I've said many times before, I hope that I and pretty much the entire climate science corps are wrong on what's to come.

Yep, you have no idea what the globally approved baseline of reporting metrics & targets is do you LOL.

When you're ready to actually advance your own stance on the matter in detail rather than critiquing mine, I'll be here.

What were the democrats thinking trying to run with Biden? The biggest mistake was not making the decision for him not to run a year ago giving their candidate a clear run at it.

I would think that would be better aimed towards the non Trump voters tbh

I am an academic research scientist, but denial without knowledge seems a speciality of yours.

Actually, I think the alternative was poor too, but better that than a fascist, corrupt fraudster, convicted criminal, and sex offender becoming the president of the most powerful country in the world.
