Great interview if you can get past Ryan’s wordy opening statements. Worth a listen.

I’m a classic lib, I believe climate change is real and that a big part of it is our fault, and that our children will have an increasingly tough time living normal lives because of the direction the climate is headed, and there’s nothing we can do to undo it. Which is why I get extra heated when I hear anybody arguing against nuclear energy. It’s safe, and it’s plentiful, and it’s critically necessary. The arguments against it just don’t make sense, even if you believe climate change is a hoax.

Particularly insightful to me was the discussion on what would happen to prices of consumer goods and transport if the energy industry didn’t suck up so much of our supply of fossil fuels. Neat perspective.

How much Co2 is supposed to be in the atmosphere bro? Is 400-500ppm not a correct amount?

Not sure if this is a joke or just a jab, or what your point is in asking me that in response to this podcast.

There is no “correct” amount because it rises and falls with solar cycles, geological cycles, etc.

But it’s clear that the concentration post-industrialization is far above (like 2x) that of pre industrial levels.

Climate denier here :) yes I agree, there is no future for humanity except for nuclear power.

This is an argument I would use against the "consensus" of what I regard as climate hysteria - the people pushing this agenda are not at all interested in solutions like, because they don't actually care about the climate. They want justifications for bullying and controlling others - and, whether consciously or not - bringing in communism.

Solutions to the "climate crisis" are the exactly the opposite of what they want.
