\"Neuroscience research suggests several ways that air pollution in general could damage the developing brain. In the womb, particulates inhaled by the mother can cross the placental barrier. The kind of particulates liberated during cooking can be covered in toxic substances and heavy metals that can accumulate in fetal tissue. The developing brain hasn’t learned to dispose of these metals yet, leaving it particularly vulnerable to damage.

I don\'t cook with heavy metals. They taste funny.

You do but you don\'t know it. Everything is contaminated with heavy metals. Animal feeds themselves contain levels high enough to be unfit for human consumption and contaminate the livestock. All the big ag field grown products are contaminated from either air and rain pollution, or even the soil. Phosphate fertilizer is used in exorbitant amounts to get any kind of yield out of our depleted soils. Wherever there\'s phosphate, there\'s cadmium, the two occur together in nature and aren\'t separated for fertilizer manufacture. EPA waives regulatory requirements to contain the cadmium in fertilizer production.

Nothing terrifies John Larkin. He has boasted about it. It does seem to be a cognitive deficit. It\'s a bit surprising that it hasn\'t killed him yet.

Rational people do worry about real risks. They do have enough judgement to distinguish between real risks, and the kind of low levels theoretical risks that some neurotic people worry about. John Larkin isn\'t up to that kind of discrimination because he\'s happy to lump them together as things he doesn\'t and can\'t worry about.

Let\'s also ban gas cars and trucks and airplanes and coal and ng power
plants and simultaneously wreck the electric supply.

I\'m glad I live in a place where neither heat nor a/c is vital to
survival.

Our 30-yo gas furnace finally died and we wore sweaters inside for a
couple of days. No big deal. Three guys showed up and rebuilt it
in-place in a couple of hours.

The US bans on ng won\'t affect the climate by many millikelvins. What
we don\'t use, somebody else will.

It seems like there is a lot of coal and gas in Africa ready to be
used. They really need it. Half a billion Africans don\'t have
electricity.

John Larkin thinks that he is being satirical here. He can\'t understand that anthropogenic global warming is real, mainly because he is gullible enough to swallow climate change denial propaganda. He also fails to understand that we can generate electricity in ways that don\'t involve burning fossil carbon.

The US does burn a lot of natural gas. About 25% of the extra CO2 in the atmosphere was generated by burning fossil carbon in the US. In the short term, what isn\'t burnt in the US may be burnt elsewhere, but the long term plan is that we all get our energy from other sources.
It seems like there is a lot of coal and gas in Africa ready to be used. They really need it. Half a billion Africans don\'t have electricity.

But quite a few of them have already bought cheap Chinese solar cells and home sized batteries to keep the lights on over-night. Anybody can do that, if they\'ve got the money, and many do. Lenin had to instal a central socialist government to supply electricity right across the USSR. Solar cells let you electrify your country one house at a time.

There are economies of scale in large scale electricity generation, but a distribution grid isn\'t cheap. Half my electricity bill pays for the cost of of the electrical grid that gets it to me.

Well, that PROVES that you aren\'t rational: you think NOTHING of FIREBOMBING and NUKING your OWN COUNTRY!

That\'s your irrationality. not mine. Your \"firebombing\" comes from your inability to understand that if you break up a battery when it starts to over-heat - well before it gets hot enough to catch fire - the smaller segments are never going to get hot enough to catch fire.

Your \"nuking\" is a mischaracterisation of the process of using Project Plowshare style nuclear explosives to render an ore deposit inaccessible to invaders about to take over the relevant area of \"my\" country\". Again, it is an irrational misrepresentation, driven by your desire to find a vaguely similar concept you could use as a term of abuse. Sadly, you can post your idiocy without advertising the moronic confusion that got you to your stupidity.

Everything terrifies you.

Looks like there is a big nationwide movement to ban gas appliances. No one really cares what the feds do or say about it:

Let\'s also ban gas cars and trucks and airplanes and coal and ng power plants and simultaneously wreck the electric supply.
John Larkin thinks that he is being satirical here. He can\'t understand that anthropogenic global warming is real, mainly because he is gullible enough to swallow climate change denial propaganda. He also fails to understand that we can generate electricity in ways that don\'t involve burning fossil carbon.

I\'m glad I live in a place where neither heat nor a/c is vital to survival.

Our 30-yo gas furnace finally died and we wore sweaters inside for a couple of days. No big deal. Three guys showed up and rebuilt it in-place in a couple of hours.

The US bans on ng won\'t affect the climate by many millikelvins. What we don\'t use, somebody else will.
The US does burn a lot of natural gas. About 25% of the extra CO2 in the atmosphere was generated by burning fossil carbon in the US. In the short term, what isn\'t burnt in the US may be burnt elsewhere, but the long term plan is that we all get our energy from other sources.

It seems like there is a lot of coal and gas in Africa ready to be used. They really need it. Half a billion Africans don\'t have electricity.
But quite a few of them have already bought cheap Chinese solar cells and home sized batteries to keep the lights on over-night. Anybody can do that, if they\'ve got the money, and many do. Lenin had to instal a central socialist government to supply electricity right across the USSR. Solar cells let you electrify your country one house at a time.

There are economies of scale in large scale electricity generation, but a distribution grid isn\'t cheap. Half my electricity bill pays for the cost of of the electrical grid that gets it to me.

As Bozo types this bullshit it is being powered by COAL! Yes, COAL!! You would think that he would feel GUILTY by generating so much additional carbon, but he DOESN\'T!! He just keeps TYPING!!!

About 70% of the energy that powers the Australian electricity grid does come from burning coal and natural , and the remaining 30% from renewable sources.

My typing won\'t use up any perceptible amount of energy. The proportion of electricity coming from renewable sources is rising rapidly - it\'s cheaper than the power you generate by burning fossil carbon - and the utility companies are starting to install the grid-scale batteries and the extra pumped hydroelectric storage required to cope with the variation in some of the renewable sources. It\'s going to take a while to phase out all the fossil carbon, but it is happening.
