The fact that we at T4P are not prisoners of either the right or left allows us to maintain our sanity and reason. Right now, the far left and the far right are engaged in a contest to see which side can be the most insane.
For years, the right was the more sane side of the political spectrum by far.
For example, the Conservatives laughed off the notion that little man could be having huge impacts on the environment by his pitiful actions- and rightly so.
Now, elements on the far right are seriously peddling the notion that climate change is not only real but supercharged and controlled by our government. These people are actually seriously pushing the theory that our government is creating and steering massive hurricanes like Helene and Milton.
As an HVAC Technician/Engineer, I know a little about Thermodynamics. I takes about 24,000 BTUs per hour to head the average home. What we are talking about here is something far more implausible. Implausible to the point that it's insane to suggest.
These conspiracy nuts are suggesting that the rapid intensification of Hurricane Milton was due to our government artificially superheating the water.
Let's examine that possibility.
Hurricane Helene dropped 40 Trillion gallons of water. That's 40,000,000,000,000 gallons.
It would take nearly nearly 334 Trillion BTUs- to heat that much water....
1 degree.
Please stop.
