The US could shut down the production of electricity and emissions from every source and it would make no difference. We are not the main drivers of climate change. What's fun is the left wants the US to destroy itself and it won't do a bit of good. As much as I like renewables and put solar panels on my own house which I'm a huge fan of we can't produce the power we need to survive on renewables unless we build a huge number of nuclear plants.
This is where the reality of science runs up against the reality of politics.
While I hesitate to place my "faith" in this, I cannot deny its general truth, either. Furthermore, a simple perusing of old newspapers proves that we've had other "if we don't address this emergency now, it will destroy our town/county/country" emergencies in the last 150 years.
didn’t you get the memo, the only serious threat we are facing is democrat overreaction
What is the alternative to humans not figuring out long term solution to our short term blunders?
Reading is fundamental. I was clearly reacting to his quote and political affiliation doesn’t weigh into it whatsoever.
What's funny is that while this is the USUAL tactic they use - they're incredibly silent right now (and for the record, I think it's the smart move)....and they're getting more grief from their own side than anyone else.
unfortunately, after making mouth noises to the contrary, they always fall into line
That kind of frames the issue incorrectly IMO. We WILL spend another dime on climate change the question is will we be proactive or reactive. Climate change is going to cost us money whether we deal with it or not. And even if we say the number of 90% is accurate who knows how much money that 10% could save us in the future.
Mass migrations from coastal regions for one. There are many others. Just because we dont have the total answer now doesn't mean we should just sit here and do nothing! Ignoring it is a terrible choice!
It's not a binary solution - do nothing vs pull out all of the stops to fight it. But unless it's an extinction level threat we have to make judicious choices as to how we address it - and when roughly 1/3 of the human population lives in two countries that are experiencing massive growth in power infrastructure via coal, there's only so much sacrifice that makes sense.
You are increasingly sounding like the people who screamed to the hills that Trump was not connected to Project 25 in any way, then went silent as Trump started implementing the changes called for in that ignoble tome.
clarence thomas says "hold my coke"
I never said that, nor was I interested enough to read all of it myself. One thing I did know is that I couldn't trust the document's critics because of their established habit of launching into hysterics over every little thing, legitimate or not. Remember, these are the same people that referred to anyone with the temerity to disagree with them as fascists. When stuff like this is their "go to" move, they shouldn't be surprised when no one takes them seriously.
Trump has hosted gay weddings at MAL for Christ's sake. I haven't seen one shred of evidence to suggest that either he or anyone on SCOTUS has any intention of doing any such thing. The only people I have heard suggest otherwise are activists whose aversion to truth versus whatever advances their narrative is well established.
