Climate Denier Hard To Refute

Lots.

Lots.

Now there is the specificity that you are renowned for. Thanks!

Well, you could have looked it up for yourself rather than let me do it and then discredit the source but here you go...

This bandwidth analysis report was conducted to assist the ITP Mining R&D program in identifying energy-saving opportunities in coal, metals, and mineral mining. These opportunities were analyzed in key mining processes of blasting, dewatering, drilling, digging, ventilation, materials handling, crushing, grinding, and separations.1The U.S. mining industry (excluding oil & gas) consumes approximately 1,246 Trillion Btu/year (TBtu/yr). This bandwidth analysis estimates that investments in state-of-the-art equipment and further research could reduce energy consumption to 579 TBtu/yr (Exhibit 1). There exists a potential to save a total of 667 TBtu/yr – 258 TBtu/yr by implementing best practices and an additional 409 TBtu/yr from R&D that improves mining technologies. Additionally, the CO2 emission reduction achievable from total practical energy savings is estimated to be 40.6 million tonnes

That's just coal extraction and processing without transportation never mind the pollution and CO2 released when burning it.

Presumably, you were going to make some clever point about the energy used to make solar panels and wind generators...

Naa. I would rather you pretend you even have the slightest inkling that you know what you are talking about. Fact is that you don't know shit and neither do I. Difference is that I don't pretend to know.

Now there's an interesting argument...

I'm clueless, so you must be too.

Everybody knows nothing.... end of argument.

Self defeating but creative.

[Speaker to Animals]

May be the most accurate argument ever made, though.

[Montegriffo]

Assuming an opponent's ignorance is, erm, ignorant.

But assuming humanity's ignorance..

Do you know how much fossil fuel is going to be required to go green and supplement the shortfalls of green energy ? Are you for or against nuclear energy?

Obviously, he's against it, it's too common sense to use it and get away from energy dependency...

Oh goody, another person here to tell me what I think.

Am I wrong? If so how? And be careful, people will call you out on it pretty damned quickly here.

Yes you are. I am not against nuclear power in the short term.
