you guys know that Biden had skin cancer in the past, right? You sure you want to mock people who have gone through that? You don't have to be cruel and nasty like Trump. You really don't.
Being cruel and nasty is part of Trumpers' identity. They believe that makes them look tough and strong.
Many people think the earth is flat and the moon landing never happened. It doesn't matter if "many people are just not buying it".
If we had listened to Al Gore 7 years ago we would have an easier time fixing the climate problem. If we had listened to him 20 years ago we would have a MUCH easier time fixing the climate problem.
The fact that we don't listen to the facts now just means that a lot more people will die and the problem will be that much harder to solve.
The US has done a pretty good job reducing emissions. If we don't have China and India on board all of the US's efforts will go to waste.
Every bit of warming counts. And no, we have not done a pretty good job at reducing emissions. We have done a terrible job as we still emit more than China and India on a per capita basis.
Didn't your mother teach you that just because others are doing something bad doesn't mean it's OK for you to do it too?
New York health officials and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have confirmed the nation’s first case of polio in nearly a decade, state authorities said Thursday. Key context: The virus, which can quickly spread among asymptomatic individuals and take up to 30 days for symptoms to appear, was discovered in Rockland County, a suburb of New York City, according to the state Department of Health. It’s the first case the CDC has confirmed in the U.S. since 2013, the state said.
If it's in Rockland then it might well be in one of the Haredim communities. If that's true, then it's most likely going to spread. Sad news.
They’ve found evidence of warming on other planets, and a moon, that do not have humans on them. Warming occurs without human contribution, the question is how much do we contribute to the warming on our planet. I haven’t heard a good answer to this question. Most are based on flawed models. The money this administration is proposing we spend on climate control hasn’t been justified, in my opinion.
Heck, invest a few trillion dollars in Africa and get the countries that are still burning garbage, and feces, for fuel and heat on some type of cleaner energy. That’d go farther, in my estimation, in saving the planet compared to some of the recommendations I’ve heard in the US.

This recent study disagrees with your assertion that the US has done a terrible job. The US is one of only 24 countries with sustained decline in emissions.
“We find that 24 countries have managed to reduce both CO2 and GHG emissions between 1970 and 2018 (Figure 1). Almost all of these countries are European (22 in total), ranging across all of the continent's diverse areas: from Scandinavia (e.g. Sweden, Finland, Denmark), to the Mediterranean (Spain, Italy, Greece), Eastern Europe (Ukraine, Hungary, Czech Republic) and Western Europe (France, Germany, the UK). Two more countries outside of Europe have further contributed to lowering global emissions: the United States (US) and Jamaica. So far, no country in Asia or Africa meets the criteria for sustained emissions reductions.”
While global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are still rising, a number of countries have emerged with a sustained record of emissions reductions. In this article, we identify these countries and ex...

The Universe is really, REALLY big and lots of things happen within it.
Therefore it is impossible for human activities to be substantially impacting the Earth's climate.

Why don't you tell the really bad climate violators who do the most harm to the planet. Example Numero Uno might be Climate Tsar John Kerry whose private family jet has emitted over 300 metric tons of carbon since Biden was elected. Do you really think the Climate Tsar should be emitting that much carbon when he gives lip service to saving the planet. Or liberal hypocrites like Kendall Jenner, Leo D, Jim Carrey and others who are just big-time phonies.

All you have to do is read the science. It is not based on flawed models. It is based on some relatively simple physics.
Helping African countries go green is nice, but it doesn't go very far at all because they don't contribute much to greenhouse gasses in the first place.
We can't just be selfish and lazy, then hope the problem goes away. We really do have to spend the money and put forth the effort. It will pay off in the long run by stopping the most expensive effects of climate change while at the same time giving us access to cheap abundant energy.

yes, I think rich people need to be forced by the government to scale back their carbon burning.
I assume kerry buys offsets against his burning, but I am just guessing.
Personally, I restrict my flying and have an automatic carbon offset payment.

Not what I said at all. I said the question remains how much we contribute to the warming of our planet. The warming on other planets proves that it’s a natural phenomenon. I just want to know how much we exacerbate the warming. If it’s a minuscule amount then why the fuss? Humans are the most adaptable species on the planet. It’s it a huge amount, then yes let’s look at some more extreme measures. So far, I haven’t been convinced of the latter.
You’re reaction to my post is comical, but completely typical. Poor reading comprehension and an attempt to redirect from a valid question. But good on ya, you sure showed me.

Garbage and feces are actually renewables - burning them does not contribute to global warming since the carbon in them is already part of the carbon cycle.
Still, it might make perfect sense to "invest a few trillion dollars on Africa" if there was a way to do so that would not be simply pissing the money away.

I don't know about your particular study, but many studies give the US credit for switching from coal to natural (methane) gas.
The truth is that this probably gives the US only a slight reduction, if any at all. The problem with methane is that it is a much worse greenhouse gas than CO2. And while it burns about 50% cleaner than coal, studies typically don't take into account the enormous amount of methane that leaks into the atmosphere from poorly managed wells and the transportation losses that send methane directly into the atmosphere. This "raw" methane is catastrophic for the climate.
But even if your study takes that all into account, we have still done an absolutely terrible job. What little we have done doesn't come close to the kind of reductions we need.
Other countries haven't done much better, but that's no excuse.
The Department of Homeland Security’s internal watchdog has opened a criminal investigation into the destruction of Secret Service phone text messages related to the days around the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, two sources familiar with the matter told NBC News. The Secret Service was informed of the investigation Wednesday night by the office of the Inspector General of DHS, which said the probe is now criminal and that the agency had been ordered to stop internal investigations into the deleted texts. News of the probe came hours before the House select committee investigating the Capitol riot was set to hold a prime-time hearing that is expected to show President Donald Trump’s failure to act to stop the attacks that day.

This is classic Dem ... when Kerry traveled to Iceland to accept the Arctic Zone climate award, he was asked about taking a private jet. His response ... "the only choice for somebody like me who is traveling the world to win this battle." Loosely translated, that means "Do what I say, not what I do."

Over 3 million people die each year from inside air pollution from indoor wood burning stoves. Poor people use whatever they can find to heat these stoves in order to cook and heat their homes. I think we could actually eliminate a lot of these deaths within a year or two with some smart spending in energy poor countries.
In what climate emergency world is burning plastic and garbage ok? Do you think that burning actual garbage doesn’t release CO2 into the ozone?
The Oligarchs are using climate change and green energy to expand their power.
They could care less about us or the environment
The democrats are so tone deaf. People are care much more about soaring inflation and wages not keeping up. The midterms will be a disaster for the party of donkeys.
