  1. For the benefit of those of us who are not mind readers, the Center for Countering Digital Hate needs to create a ‘•’ list of the “solutions to climate change” that they acknowledge. Such a list should in no way be vague.

  2. In contemporary America, we have people who ardently insist that the Earth is not a sphere, but rather, the Earth is flat. No science-backed 'center' group is telling them to go pound salt.

  3. I believe that Thomas Jefferson once said… ”I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility towards every form of tyranny over the mind of man.” I also believe, if you go to the Jefferson Memorial, stand as close as you can to the center of the memorial, and look at the words that encircle the “ceiling” border, those words repeat the quote that I have presented. To me, it seems like a form of tyranny for a ‘center’ group to unilaterally declare that the scientific debate interval, regarding climate change, is over.

  4.  @gbennett58  Regarding increasing the Earth's albedo, I remember hearing a news story expressing a desire to paint black asphalt roads/highways white. If true, and if every road/highway in North America were somehow made white, then, in terms of numbers, I don't know what degree of measurable net effect this would produce. Also, during the final years of the Obama administration, I remember looking up at the overhead cloud cover (I live in what is referred to as the Southern Tier of NYS) and noticing that, on a regular basis, the cloud cover had an unusual interlaced and/or weaved "wax-y" appearance. At the time, I associated this with rampant conspiracy stories that claimed, out over the Pacific Ocean, along the Washington-California coastline, high-altitude airplanes were intentionally spraying reflective substances into the air, in a crosshatch fashion. According to the conspiracy stories of that time, the idea was to have the dispersed high-altitude substances reflect heat (from the Sun) back out into outer space. Again, I don't know if any of these stories were true, and if they were true, I don't know what measurable net effect such actions would produce.

  5.  @paulinebell4873  I was watching a Glenn Beck upload, and he said that he attended a meeting staffed by Big Brains in the Energy sector. Glenn said that, during the meeting, somebody said that, come the year 2027, 25% of the electricity produced in the USA would be consumed by computers running AI, exclusively.

  6. I suppose if we all wanted to prolong the various debates as to the merits of Climate Change, we could all "join-the-bandwagon" of people who insist that the Earth is flat. Now think about this idea... if we all seriously entertain the notion (that the Earth might actually be flat), then settling such a debate would stand-out as a top priority, long before anybody could bring up the issue of whether or not the climate is getting unacceptably warm. In other words, the longer we debate flatness, the longer it takes to even START any debate about climate warmness. note: my idea reminds me of the time Rush Limbaugh initiated Operation Chaos, for the purpose of messing with the Democratic Party.
