AIR POLLUTION, WHICH CAUSES GLOBAL WARMING, HAD THE WORST INCREASE
LAST YEAR THAN EVER.

Consider...

--- The global warming MAX goal of 1.5 degrees from 10 years ago,
will probably NEVER be met. We are looking more at a 3 degree rise
in global temperatues.
--- The massive amount of increase in energy in the oceans from global
warming, are contributing to terrific weather swings, both in historic
droughts, and historically bad storms. Storms like Helene, and Milton,
and the storm that dumped a whole year of rain in one day in Spain this
week, are just the beginning of a screwed up weather system caused
by our pollution of the atmosphere, and global warming.
--- Note that weather experts have warned (AND NO ONE IS LISTENING),
that even if we stopped our pollution from bio-fuels immediately, THERE
IS NO GUARANTEE THAT WE COULD RETURN THE EARTH TO A NORMAL
WEATHER PATTERN. That is, we are badly breaking something, that we
have no idea how to fix.

And consider this also...

--- One of the U.S. presidential candidates does not believe that global
warming is REAL, and feels no moral-ethical OUGHT to stop using
bio-fuels in the U.S.
--- One of the U.S. presidential candidates, does not care WHAT the best
modern science is telling us, about the worsening weather disaster that
we are beginning to live through. He wants to get rid of the Environmental
Protection Agency, and most standards that limit air pollution.
--- One of the U.S. presidential candidates does not believe the scientific
information behind modern vaccines, created chaos during the COVID-19
pandemic because he started out believing conspiracy theories about the
COVID virus, and will appoint JFK Junior to run the government health
agencies (including the Centers for Disease Control). This would be
putting a conspiracy theory nutbar in charge of the health of the nation.

Americans had better start to vote in politicians who RESPECT MODERN SCIENCE,
AND WHO HAVE A RESPECT FOR PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT.

America needs to be a leader in caring for the environment,
and not a country run by nutbar conspiracy theories about the
government controlling the weather.

I think you need to tone down the hysterics and start looking at this logically and scientifically

Some facts:

1. If the US were to simply turn off all of our factories and power plants, and stop domestic oil refining, it would lower the world's temperature by less than a half a degree F. Developing countries are turning to oil, gas, and coal, and they do not have "green energy" infrastructure or nuclear. We can't tell them to turn off the lights--it isn't going to happen

2. The issue is not whether or not climate change is happening, and what is contributing to it. The issue is that green energy initiatives are flawed, inefficient, pollutive, and cause international problems. The case in point is Germany, a country which went green 20+ years ago, turned off its nuclear reactors, shut down coal and oil plants, and tried to replace all this with solar and wind which used cheap Russian natural gas. The result was a doubling of consumer energy costs, insufficient electricity, and the worst CO2 emissions per capita in Europe. The reliance on Russia allowed Putin to go on the rampage and attack Ukraine. Germany has been in recession for 2 years, is deindustrializing, and VW is closing plants. Total disaster

This idea that we are going to replace our energy infrastructure with solar panels from China is complete nonsense.

We need to build new, 4th generation nuclear power plants all over the country. And until that infrastructure is built out, we are going to need natural gas, and even some oil and coal. We aren't going to wreck our economy like Germany did, and put 10 million people out-of-work

We aren't going to turn the US into a developing nation to satisfy climate activists

Even Andrew Yang understood this when he was running for president, but cynical, clueless Democrats didn't want to hear it

To put it into perspective, CO2 emissions in tons per capita:

Oil countries in the Middle East are the worst:
Qatar - 35.48, Kuwait 23.99...

North America:
Canada - 14.99
USA - 14.21

Asia:
South Korea - 12.27
China - 8.89
Japan 8.66

Europe:
Czech Republic - 9.51
Poland 8.39
Greenland 8.32
Germany 8.01
...

CO2 Emissions per Capita - Worldometer

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Emissions per Capita for each Country in the world

www.worldometers.info

As it can be seen, the industrial development is not always correlated with high CO2 emissions per capita and vice versa. Its more complicated and the emissions have various causes.

Germany's CO2 per capita is almost twice that of France

the reason is, France relies on nuclear power.

decommissioning nuclear plants and moving everything to solar and wind, which relies on Russian natural gas 50-60% of the time in order to operate, was lunacy

No math can show that solar and wind can come close to replacing all traditional energy sources. And yet politicians and activists keep spreading this disinformation

I am absolutely an environmentalist, but I am also a realist who understands the science. Covering the country with tens of millions of solar panels, which have a lifespan of 20-30 years, and then end up as toxic waste in landfills is just stupid (not to mention all the pollution that is created when these things are made).

Until we have fusion power (not fission), nuclear is the best option. It can be combined with things like solar, wind, geothermal, and gas, but it needs to be the backbone of the grid.

if we let environmentalists and activists create our energy policy, we won't be the world's largest economy for much longer

The Czech republic also relies mostly on nuclear power, but has one of the highest emissions in Europe. Not sure about the cause, probably not-too-green house heating and cars or the geographical position between mountains (I am not sure how the emissions are measured, if in the air, it can has some influence). Its not always easy to see the whole picture...

Anyway, I am also for nuclear power or hydrogen. Solar/wind does not work for every country.

What are you doing to reduce your carbon footprint? Do you drive a hybrid car? Do you have a high efficiency furnace to heat your home? Are you setting an example for others.

Al Gore wrote the book and FactCheck.org has verified that Al Gore's home does have a high energy consumption. According to their report, Gore's Tennessee mansion consumes an average of 19,241 kilowatt-hours per month, which is significantly higher than the U.S. household average of 901 kilowatt-hours per month.

Al Gore's book on global warming is titled "An Inconvenient Truth: The Planetary Emergency of Global Warming and What We Can Do About It"

"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."
Revelation 21

 

[Diamond72]

But the fearful

Fearful of what? Global warming? I tend to go by all liars are thrown into the lake of fire. God is absolute truth. In other translations the word used is cowardly.

I considered highlighting liars. But most of the global warming alarmists aren't lying, they really believe this nonsense.

 

[Diamond72]

most of the global warming alarmists aren't lying

Global warming is a problem. For example there are cities in Alaska that have been relocated due to the impacts of global warming. One notable example is the village of Newtok. Due to erosion and melting permafrost, Newtok has lost significant land, and its residents have been moving to a new location called Mertarvik.

The Earth does undergo natural climate cycles, influenced by factors like volcanic activity and solar radiation. So our impact on the world going through cycles is limited.

There was a lot of pollution when I was younger. At one time all the fish in lake erie died. Back when the river caught on fire. Are you really suggesting we should have done nothing to stop that company from putting flammable toxins in our river?

God holds us responsible for our environment. He will destroy those who destroy the earth. To suggest that pollution is not a concern is a recipe for disaster. Trump's environmental policies during his presidency did lead to significant rollbacks of environmental regulations, which affected various aspects of environmental protection.

Clean air and clean water cost money and the people responsible for pollution need to be held accountable. During Trump's presidency, efforts were made to revive the coal industry by rolling back environmental regulations and promoting coal mining. The increased coal mining and burning led to higher carbon dioxide emissions, contributing to global warming and environmental degradation.

If you want to burn garbage or you want to burn coal you have to clean up your smoke so you do not damage the environment. When I did construction work we use to find a lot of black sot in the walls from back when they used coal furnices. I had a job once shoveling coal into a feeder bin in an old hotel that would have been to expensive to convert to gas. The bin would hold enough for maybe 5 hours. Not enough without having to get up in the middle of the night to shovel coal. Sometimes people would put the cinders on the snow on their driveway. Does anyone remember cinder driveways?
