Or use bio alternatives.

Over 90 percent of new steel being produced is recycled scrap, aluminum is over 75 percent. Cardboard is around 60.

I have a far bigger impact currently than you do, you're retired, I'm driving to work and back in a dually, using gobs of electricity welding up tons of steel which took tons of energy to make, and building stuff which is designed to use up even more resources and energy. That clearly wasn't...

Don't mess with my morning monster damnit!

Does it normally rain in Alaska in December? Even in the Midwest it's impossible to notice that winters are changing, snow is happening much less and the temps are higher throughout the winter. I'm doing underground at work, there's hardly any frost in the ground right now, if any.

Ok that's cool, but scientists are pretty much universally on one side of this issue, like 99 percent plus. The division and rhetoric is coming from the other side of this issue, and honestly that's really what that side is all about on any other issue as well. It's not a new issue, they've...

So now you see that too much carbon is a bad thing, that's getting closer.

No, you are adding carbon directly to the soil in the form of charcoal, which allows it to soak up nutrients better. Charcoal is pure carbon, you add it directly to the soil, and they usually add manure and other wastes to fill it up because charcoal is basically a sponge. The Amazon has large...

Ok...... so what will we do about the extra co2 in the atmosphere? i should have been more specific.... On that last part i agree, which is why we should be burning biofuels and saving the charcoal to enrich the soil, aka terra preta. But that is literally sequestering carbon in the soil, which...

And how do you suggest we do that?

Yeah, they're not worried about not having enough carbon in the carbon cycle, the problem is that we're adding a ton of carbon to it by digging up long buried carbon and adding it too, and much faster than plants can possibly sequester it, because when they decay it goes right back into the...

That's what they're waging war on, co2 not carbon. If carbon was the byproduct this wouldn't be an issue.

We need more co2? Really?

Yeah, not a lot of pipes in a windmill. It is what it is tho, the world keeps changing, all we can do is try to adapt. We still have a bunch of them around here tho, so there's still work on them a few times a year. The big thing for fitters lately is all the chip and battery plants going up, i...

I'm all for nuclear, but there's a reason why we aren't building them left and right. As a fitter we work on them and build them, personally I've mostly stayed away from them thus far because the pace of the job would drive me insane, but it's good work. The reason why Europe runs different...
