Very well read North Idaho redneck, a believer in Christ, and I value liberty. I can work with my hands or have a lively debate on history and economics.

[Kevin Barr @KBarr1989]

Interesting.

Consider the physics of planetary scale: Carbon dioxide makes up just 0.042% of our atmosphere—roughly 426 parts per million.

Visually, that equates to just 4 molecules out of every 10,000, or a single molecule in a crowd of 2,500. Even with historical shifts, it remains a minuscule trace element.

Like water vapor, CO₂ warms the atmosphere by absorbing specific narrow bands of outbound infrared radiation. But scale matters. Water vapor can make up to 4% of the atmosphere in humid tropical regions, averaging 1% to 2% globally, with clouds covering roughly 69% of the planet at any given time. Concentrations of water vapor are routinely a hundred times higher than CO₂.

Consequently, water vapor is by far the planet's dominant greenhouse gas, driving anywhere from 50% to 70% of the natural greenhouse effect.

Yet, despite its tiny atmospheric footprint, CO₂ is the indispensable foundation for biological life. Through photosynthesis, terrestrial plants convert sunlight, water, and CO₂ into glucose energy and oxygen, forming the backbone of every land-based food chain.

It's not just the trees. In the seas, microscopic phytoplankton drive between 50% and 85% of the world's photosynthesis and oxygen production. Furthermore, dissolved carbon is a fundamental building block for marine life, utilised by corals, shellfish, and pteropods to construct their shells.

But the physical engine of global climate isn't a trace gas at all, nor is it the thin atmospheric envelope above us. It has always been the oceans.

Covering 71% of Earth's surface to an average depth of 2.3 miles, the oceans are the world's true thermal heartbeat. Water is roughly 800 times denser than air, and the top 2.5 metres of ocean store as much heat energy as the entire atmosphere.

The oceanic world holds over 80% of Earth's mobile carbon reservoir and stores more than 93% of the climate system's retained heat energy. Oceanic currents are the planet's true air conditioning unit, endlessly transporting immense stores of tropical heat toward the poles—a global conveyor belt that takes a thousand years to complete a single circuit.

Earth is a dynamic, interactive system driven by the fundamental laws of physics and thermodynamics—not oversimplified computer models or economic spreadsheets.

The idea of a single trace gas controlling the entire biosphere unravels under the sheer weight of planetary reality.

@MAGA__Patriot Why are we footing the bill for elected officials healthcare in the first place. Let them foot the bill then they might actually care how much it costs.

[Kevin Barr @KBarr1989]

@marklevinshow How about we add in elected officials and burocrats as well. If you can sue a cop you should be able to sue a politician or burocrat for policies that harm you.

While were at it let's make it legal to sue protesters that block city streets for the economic damage they do.

[Kevin Barr @KBarr1989]

What happens when you actually do the math instead of just listen to propaganda.

[Rothmus 🏴 @Rothmus]

Assuming this number is accurate

That’s 333 per million.

In Canada, it’s 580 per million. (23,700/41,500,000)

In the UK, it’s 1,350 per million.
(79,000/58,800,000)

Socialized healthcare kills almost 2-4x as many.

They REALLY need to change their system.

[Kevin Barr @KBarr1989]

@skumWgmi Stop complaining about being broke to people that do a harder job than you for more hours than you're willing to work.

[Kevin Barr @KBarr1989]

Not controversial at all.

Where we differ is I believe poeple should be an active participant in the process by working and providing for themselves. With a limited safety net system.

You believe I should be an active participant by providing for their wants and needs at my expense.

Thats controversial.

[Kevin Barr @KBarr1989]

@PNWConservative Their goal is to tear down western culture and society. By that metric there doing a bang up job.

[Kevin Barr @KBarr1989]

@Emmaiid11 Wouldn't bother me at all. I have to show ID at the bank, gun store, liquor store, airport, doctors office, to get a job. It's a necessary tool to navigate modern society.

The only reason to oppose ID when voting is because you want voter fraud.

[Kevin Barr @KBarr1989]

@demsocjohnbrown That doesn't even make sense. How does a free and voluntary system promote slavery.

It's a contradiction in terms?

[Kevin Barr @KBarr1989]

@Beboeieio @BillWiIdin I'm in no way advocating for government to start meddling in home loans again. That was social engineering at peak stupidity.

I just advocate for a fair playing field in the housing market. There seems to be market manipulation going on with large investment groups.

[Kevin Barr @KBarr1989]

@PabloXPinto @BillWiIdin Executive orders are not the same as laws. If you're going to be a dick at least be factualy correct.

It would be nice to see an actual statute in place protecting home buyers from having to compete against hedge funds.

[Kevin Barr @KBarr1989]

@Disco_Dave1989 @IfindRetards Thats abjectly stupid. How do you intend to convince people to do difficult or dangerous jobs for free.

[Kevin Barr @KBarr1989]

@soigomaa No it doesn't. Like most liberal posts there isn't a fact or complex concept to be seen. It's just someone making an assertion then backing it up with no data.

[Kevin Barr @KBarr1989]

@ErikAndThoughts @rizzn @David_J_Bier If you don't have police crime will increase.

San Francisco from 1851-1856 or Montreal Canada October 7, 1969 make for interesting examples.

[Kevin Barr @KBarr1989]

@SenatorCantwell Why is the Social Security fund running out?

Because Maria cant do math well is buying votes with everyone's retirement benefits.

You'll get your benefits cut by 2032 so people who dont pay in can benefit.

[Kevin Barr @KBarr1989]

@itsrosesm Ya. If there in a courthouse it means they not only violated immigration law but some other law and are now on trial.

Why would I want some other countries criminals. We already have enough of those in congress.

[Kevin Barr @KBarr1989]

@Emma_S_Brown There is still a background check for suppressor purchase. The only thing removed was the extra background check and a bunch of paperwork.

If your going to be outraged at least figure out if your facts are valid.

[Kevin Barr @KBarr1989]

@realMaalouf Just leave them there and ignore them.

The Porsche museum left the glued idiots over night and shut of the lights and heat in 2022. They never pulled the stunt again
