Do you believe that Climate Change is real and caused by mankind?

Re: Do you believe that Climate Change is real and caused by mankind?

I wonder how much the UK and US amongst others have contributed to global warming with their military operations since WW2.
You can't blame the citizens of a country for the actions of their government.
Twenty years in Afghanistan was a waste of time and Ukraine is still going on if anyone's forgotten.

But this is designed to make the individual feel like they could make a difference.

The individual CAN make a difference. Not a huge difference but a difference nonetheless.
The trouble is, is that people don't see an immediate change so they give up. It's a good thing that the people from the Allies didn't just give up when they didn't see the end of the war from their prospective. Otherwise things would be a lot different than they are right now.

There a lot of articles regarding the creditability of NOAA and there climate change causes . One fact for sure is the sun heats the earth .

According to NASA, the solar cycle and its associated short-term changes in irradiance, or amount of light energy, cannot be the main force driving the changes in Earth's climate we are currently seeing.
NASA scientists say the energy from the sun only changes 0.15 per cent over the course of a cycle, which could not be responsible for the changes we have seen in recent decades.

I know, I know you don't believe NASA either. Your belief of lack thereof, doesn't change an articles accuracy.

I walk to the hairdressers, during that time a tank might get blown up in Ukraine using weapons shipped possibly thousands of miles.

You can't control whether a tank gets blown up. However, you can control whether or not you walk to the hairdresser. Basing your decisions on things out of your control isn't a way to live.

Supercomputer Will Help Decide whether to Block the Sun - Scientific American

As questioned by many...what are the consequences humans of playing God as the consequences are unknown? Does our future depend on this computer? What if the programing of this computer is flawed in some way? Time will tell, I hope man gets it right but I ma highly skeptical.
"The new supercomputer will allow scientists to build and run intricate models to assess the risks tied to geoengineering, Rasmussen said, adding that slight changes to the atmosphere's composition could lead to large impacts not just on rainfall patterns — her area of study — but on entire ecosystems, including human communities."
"Critics of geoengineering say using aerosols and other substances to reflect sunlight away from Earth could lead to unknown, disruptive weather patterns. They also contend that solar geoengineering could result in a global dependency, because temperatures could abruptly rise if the process is stopped."

So if I attempted to make a difference, It's still kind of pointless.

FACT SHEET: 10 Ways the Biden-⁠Harris Administration Is Responding to Extreme Heat

FACT SHEET: 10 Ways the Biden-Harris Administration Is Responding to Extreme Heat | The White House

1. Lowering cooling costs for families: In April, the Administration released $385 million through the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), including to reduce summer cooling costs. Last week, the Department of Health and Human Services released guidance to help states use this funding to get more air conditioners and electric heat pumps into homes.

1. Supporting community cooling centers: The new LIHEAP guidance also helps states, Tribes, and territories establish community cooling centers in public facilities where people can keep cool during the hottest periods of the day. Additionally, the Environmental Protection Agency is using American Rescue Plan funding to help create cooling centers in public school facilities.

1. Keeping workplaces safe: In April, Vice President Harris and Labor Secretary Walsh launched the first national program to protect indoor and outdoor workers from heat stress. Since then, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has already conducted over 500 heat-related inspections, focused on over 70 high-risk industries across 43 states.

1. Developing the first national heat standard to protect workers: OSHA has initiated the rulemaking process toward the first-ever national heat standard to ensure protections in indoor and outdoor workplaces across the country.

1. Providing real-time data and response resources: To equip local officials and the public with robust and accessible information, the Administration has launched Heat.gov, a new centralized portal with real-time, interactive data and resources on extreme heat conditions, preparedness, and response.

1. Identifying and addressing disproportionate impacts: Recent EPA analysis is supporting local communication strategies to inform people of extreme heat risks and ways to keep safe, with a focus on engaging underserved and overburdened communities.

1. Leveraging nature to cool down cities: The National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration is helping communities map urban heat islandsguide for communities and is helping to fund urban tree and greening projects to reduce extreme temperatures and heat exposure.

1. Investing in proactive resilience projects: Last week, President Biden announced that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will have $2.3 billion for the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) program to help communities increase resilience to heat waves, drought, wildfires, flood, hurricanes, and other hazards by preparing before disaster strikes.

1. Funding innovative cooling technologies: The Department of Homeland Security recently announced winners of the first-ever Cooling Solutions Challenge prize competition, supporting innovative ideas to help first responders, individuals, households, or displaced populations keep cool during extreme heat events.

1. Helping health professionals prepare and respondClimate and Health Outlook to inform health professionals of climate events expected in the next 30-90 days and support proactive action to reduce health risks from heat waves and other extreme weather events.

Unfortuantely, in many US states it is dangerous to go outside due either extreme heat or forest fire smoke caused by climate change.

Many states recommend people reduce their exposure to outdoors during certain times of day.
