What industry is contributing to climate change the most? Where is a good place to find data on this?
I can only imagine it is agriculture. No facts to back that up though. Raising crops and livestock is energy intense though

#32What industry is contributing to climate change the most? Where is a good place to find data on this?
I can't answer on where to best find this data, but it is compounded by many industries. Particularly, manufacturing and the transportation of raw materials that are transformed into products by other manufacturers and then distributed to distribution centers, and then again distributed to local regions and retailers. This, for every last little thing. If you want to talk just plastic bottles, we consume 1 million bo…
Don't forget all the factory farming and raising cattle to feed billions of people - methane emissions from cows are very significant.

I host over 30TB of excellent climate date here: https://mirrors.sorengard.com/azimuth . These datasets were collected from various government agencies as part of a larger collaboration with John Baez and a couple of other scientists from the Azimuth Climate Data Project: http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/azimuth_backup_project/ My server has a 1Gbps connection and can support sustained downloads of very large files.

As Americans, we're all on the hook for it. https://www.fema.gov/national-flood-insurance-program https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/04/business/a-broke-and-brok... "The government-run National Flood Insurance Program is, for now, virtually the only source of flood insurance for more than five million households in the United States. This hurricane season, as tens of thousands of Americans seek compensation for storm-in…
And this is why American coasts are grossly over-developed-- the government undercuts private insurers who would charge a much higher market price.
NPR Planet Money did an episode on this: "The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) is $30 billion in debt to the U.S. Treasury. If it were a private company, it would be bankrupt. And instead of preventing risky behavior, the NFIP may be encouraging it. Among the NFIP's many problems are houses that flood again and again and again. Throughout the program's history, one percent of homes have been responsible for more than 25 percent of the claims. The NFIP can't drop these homes."

Apparently not in HTML5, although major browsers retained it for the purpose you mentioned and back-compat. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11928566/img-vs-image-ta...
It's in HTML5 as well, but is converted at tokenization time to and a parse error is recorded. https://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-html5-20110113/tokenization.ht... (Search for "image")

All the ones that make your life comfortable and convenient.

#37In OTHER WORDS, we have zero scientific data to prove the hoax that is climate alarmism, so instead we have pictures that prove nothing since there are no pictures around from the medieval warming period or before.
We know our thoughtless groupthink millennials eat this stuff up!

#39at least we've created lots of shareholder value
The Soviet Union and East Germany were no paragons of environmental protection. They just dumped toxic waste and burned shit however they wanted to because anybody who complained was simply disappeared. Same thing today in China.

#40The heat spikes in the Arctic now so early on in the year and the jet stream which previously brought cold towards the Arctic now shifts the cold down in cold spikes and record cold fronts to north east and Europe. It seems we will no longer have an Arctic soon and the jet stream will be permanently shifted due to anthropogenic climate change. We had record heat in Southern California in early February and around the…
Where did the jet stream previously get the cold to bring to the Arctic?
