Climate and Weather

Maybe it’s just the garbage you eat.
Do not underestimate the health advantages you have with hot fossil fuel heated water.
Not to mention indoor plumbing and central heating

That's true for now, but none of those requires fossil fuels in a well-planned utility system.

What is the sewer pipe made from and how is it made?
Just one of hundreds of connections to fossil fuels

Rendering petroleum into solid plastics and burying that in the ground is a great way to keep that carbon out of the atmosphere.

Asinine pretzel logic.

What did I get wrong?

 

[espola]

Like I said. A lot of trees could have been planted today to make up for the wood your ancestors burned.

They cut from their own lots every year and had plenty left over. Pruning the sugarbush, plus cutting out some decaying ash and beech was usually enough. They even gathered a lot of the small branches for kindling.

You don't know much about this, do you?

The "all or nothing" argument withers in the face of practical reality.

Like I said. A lot of trees could have been planted today. All we got was lip service though. I’d like to see all those kids give up their cell phones and pads to show their sincerity.

Fossil Fuels. Practical, portable, plentiful.

I'm not going to work today and the Climate Strike has nothing to do with it.

Instead, I will be observing a plumbing crew installing a new water heater and removing the old one (unless they are out on Climate Strike).

I hope you hired a good contractor to do the job or they might blow up your place. I heard if you use Angies place she will find you a good company.

 

[Multi Sport]

Nice try. Without them, I would be still working tending a heard of goats in Fayston, Vermont.

But you wouldn't be on the Forum... wow, fossil fuels suck!

I have been saying for years that it is wasteful to burn all that petroleum when we already have factories in need of it for feedstock.

...AND they didn't show up, so maybe they are on climate strike.

That's what you get when you go with the lowest quote. They probably would have blown up your place... don't be so cheap!

That's between our landlord and Home Depot. I'm just here to help.

You mean you're gonna let someone do work at your place without doing a background check? At least look them up on Yelp...

Home Depot uses subs... not that it's a bad thing. You just don't know what or who you're gonna get.
