Residents flee to stadiums to take refuge as arctic winter ravages Texas.

Thoughts on global warming?

[Clownkicker]

I think you haven't got the foggiest idea what global warming is, dimwit.

That's why you don't get that global warming means the temperatures over the entire world are rising.

The particular weather in Texas today is not "climate" you ignoramus. It's weather.

And the extremes in both directions of heat and cold, and '100 year' hurricanes and floods every five years, are only going to get worse down there because of the rising global temperature.

You're just too stupid to understand that this cold spell of weather is exactly what is predicted and to be expected from global warming.

"... dimwit, ignoramus..."

Clown, Where's all the civility, you were preaching in that other thread?

[Clownkicker]

Go read it again, you imbecile. See who gets shown respect.

And then realize that neither you nor johnfucked meet the criteria, dimwit.

[sillydaddy]

I am crushed..

Why is the power out in much of Texas? Frozen instruments at power plants, not wind farms, are the main factor
By Will Wade, Naureen S. Malik and Brian Eckhouse Bloomberg,

(Bloomberg) -- Don’t point too many fingers at Texas wind turbines, because they’re not the main reason broad swaths of the state have been plunged into darkness.

While ice has forced some turbines to shut down just as a brutal cold wave drives record electricity demand, that’s been the least significant factor in the blackouts, according to Dan Woodfin, a senior director for the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, which operates the state’s power grid.

The main factors: Frozen instruments at natural gas, coal and even nuclear facilities, as well as limited supplies of natural gas, he said. “Natural gas pressure” in particular is one reason power is coming back slower than expected Tuesday, added Woodfin.

I actually worked on the construction of an atomic plant when I was a kid.*

There were plans to prevent controls from freezing up.

On a side note....If a couple of snowstorms and some cold weather disprove global warming, then why don't millions of dinosaur bones and fossils disprove creationism?

[johnforbes]

Look, you have to accept the fact that Wilma Flintstone was a hottie.

[elklindo69]

Isn't it really weird how the state that has the shittiest COVID-19 response is also the state that has the shittiest electrical grid?

Apparently it's just another one of those coincidences, I suppose.

[snakeoil]

Political Talking Points:

A. Green New Deal did it.

B. Renewable energies crashing.

Teas deregulated and privatized their grid for the purpose of rewarding select Texans. They disconnected from the country's grid so that they didn't have to follow the USA guidelines of that pesky Federal Government. The natural gas lines are install not as deep as the gas lines in the rest of the country. (After all, Texas is hot and sunny right?)

Leftist arguments:

1) You are dumb, although most on the Left are lightly educated dolts like Chuck Todd or Zuck or Dorsey or Gates.

2) You are racist, although the Dems were the party of historic racism.

3) You are cancelled, censored, and deleted because leftists can't counter any other arguments.

[elklindo69]

According to the self righteous and self proclaimed ideology of personal responsibility..... it was someone else's screwup that the decades of climate change denial and deregulation has resulted in Texans freezing in the dark.

[johnforbes]

That's it.

I am censoring Elkin off my Facebook page.

[elklindo69]

OH Wait....

From what I heard, there are wind turbines in Antarctica.

Apparently John Forbes got stuck in his frozen pile of bullshit.

LMFAO

[Clownkicker]

Yes, johnfibs (as always) is too dishonest to admit that capitalist Republican incompetence of installing power systems on the cheap is what froze the wind turbines.

[johnforbes]

I know what I'm talking about here. As a kid, I worked on the construction of an electricity-generating atomic plant.

When asked if I knew anything about atomic power, I replied that I could plug in a toaster.

[johnforbes]

Here is a photo of me from that era:

As Ted Cruz hides in Cancun and Greg Abbott spreads his lies......it appears that Beto, AOC and Biden are getting more shit done for ordinary Texans. I wondering if this will be reflected in the ballot boxes....but I'm not holding my breath becuase conservatives seem to be gluttons for punishment.

[sillydaddy]

Beto wants to take my guns...! and Biden killed thousands of jobs when
he stopped the oil pipelines that were to bring oil to the refineries in Houston...
As for AOC unless she is going to bring me a beer....she is of no use in Texas...

[elklindo69]

You people got no heat nor water, yet you would rather "own" the libs right Silly.

Image if AOC were to flee to Cancun...the right wing nutjob outrage industrial complex would tear a hole in the space time continuum and Hannity be shitting tire irons on live TV.

Conservative hypocrisy has no limits.......

[Clownkicker]

johnforbes claims that's a picture of him on the job at a nuclear power plant a few decades ago, but the guy is bald.

Now johnny claims to have a full head of hair.

Which is it, johnny? Either you're lying about the picture or you're lying about the hair. (Unless you had hair plugs like Biden whom you partisanly ridicule for them.)

The one thing we always know is that johnfibs is a liar and a hypocrite. And this proves it, whichever way he slices it.

[johnforbes]

Let us put Clown's wild rumor to rest.

I am not Homer Simpson, nor do I consume Duff Beer, nor did I work at the Springfield Nuclear Plant

[elklindo69]

There are windmills in extreme cold weather locations throughout the planet....Antarctica, Canada, Norway, Finland...etc. So if windmills were shut down in Texas during the cold weather then the issue is not with the windmills. The issue is the fact that it's profitable to allow windmills to fail during cold weather.

[sillydaddy]

My only beef with Cruz...I wish he had invited me..

[elklindo69]

Cruz ........"I have to admit, I started having second thoughts almost the moment I sat down on the plane."

Trump........."Why would the people of Texas support Ted Cruz when he has accomplished absolutely nothing for them. He is another all talk, no action pol!"

And to cap it all off Donnie Jr. berated the Texas governor thinking he was a democrat.

You can't make this shit up!

LMFAO!!!!
