    Really? Why not give them solar or wind? Renewables do not tie the country into buying coal forever.

    How much do you spend trying to manage the global Government?

    If you had billions how much would you spend to manage the Global Government?

    But that is what the governments of the world are and will be using to map what to do about climate change

    There are both Solar and Wind firms eager to sell to Africa. But how much money is in Africa compared to other global markets?

    Nobody is stopping China from doing that and stopping exporting coal industries globally.

    I am very well acquainted with the sources you show. They are hard core what we in America call, left wing sources. Those who want to manage my life for me as well as the rest of the worlds lives for us.

    I get my cheap imports at the grocery store the electronic store for The appliance store. These things make my life much easier and I'm not going to give them up for your crusade. I personally have no control over outsourcing I'm not a manufacturer.
    That's your sacred cow so it's your problem figure it out I don't care. I'm just not going to take you the least bit seriously until you start dealing with the majority of the problem.

    She takes Joy Reid seriously and Sheldon Whitehouse. I was amazed.

    You quoted this woman.
    [​IMG]The ReidOut with Joy Reid Nielsen Ratings
    1MO 3MO 6MO YTD 1YR 2YR
    -12 -36 -47 -40 -22 -22 percent losses.

    Those numbers represents lost audiences. All are minus signs.

    She is a Race baiter.
    The ReidOut is a weeknight television show airing on the cable network MSNBC at 7 p.m. ET. The program, which premiered in July 2020, addresses provocative political issues both inside and outside of the beltway by means of one-on-one conversations with politicians and newsmakers. Broadcasting live from Washington, the primetime lede news talk show is noted for its tenacious interviewing style and the host's passion for the exploration of the intersection of race, justice, and culture in America; all the while delving into the day's unfolding political headlines, and breaking down complex issues in a way that makes them digestible and accessible.

    I don't really know who those people are.

    I mostly work in the petrochemical industry, and I think the environmentalist viewpoints have been hijacked to attack the petrochemical industry.

    Have you noticed how electric cars are magically green despite the materials they need to be made and the waste they produce?

    Why would people of a certain political viewpoint want to hurt the petrochemical industry? I presume because they donate to people that are opposed to that political viewpoint. Money motivates everything to think that it doesn't is foolish.

    I like conservation and caring about the environment I was a boy scout. That's why I take issue with it being hijacked for political reasons.

    Have you noticed the only solution that people propose is government power? I personally hate litter and making trash I don't need the government to make a law about that I just filter my own water and use mason jars carry it around if I want to have water with me. It's also more economical.

    Joy Reid for the most part specializes in race baiting. And of course she is a very loyal Democrat. Sheldon Whitehouse is a Democrat Senator.

    Now he is under fire.
    https://nypost.com/2021/06/21/sheldon-whitehouse-under-fire-for-membership-at-all-white-club/

    When people attack the petrochemical industry, they attack civilization and the march forward for humans.
    I too was a Boy scout who also is very environmental minded and do not want to snuff out mankind. I believe the Alarmists truly would snuff out mankind to preserve some forms like Corals.

    I notice to them the only solution is Government. It may seem as if you or I do not appreciate some Government, but what the heck, let's try again what the Founders had.

    The controversy began when Whitehouse (D-RI) was confronted Friday by a GoLocal Providence reporter, who published the video along with an article on Saturday detailing what occurred after asking about the senator’s membership at Newport-based Bailey’s Beach Club, part of the Spouting Rock Beach Association.

    “I think the people who are running the place are still working on that and I’m sorry it hasn’t happened yet,” the progressive pol told the reporter after being asked of the club’s lack of any diversity whatsoever.

    Asked if such clubs should continue to exist at a time when the country is having a racial reckoning, Whitehouse replied, “It’s a long tradition in Rhode Island, and there are many of them.

    This is Joy Reid's type of Democrat.

    Okay so they are the type of people that will accuse others of what they're guilty of to take the eyes off of them and to focus their followers away.

    It's a clever strategy in the short term but as they are seeing it comes back to bite you on the backside.

    Definitely that is true. This water here is very good to drink. Despite that, my son installed our own water purifier. He is divorced and enjoys his own grand kids. We only use purified water to eliminate what the city does not remove. Since he lives by himself, he wanted me to move here to join him for the company.

    I do not know a former Scout that will litter or leave trash behind for others.

    In fact where republicans gather, they engage in trash collection.

    Fox Park, however, where the line ended Tuesday and where crowds remained to watch Trump on the jumbotron when they couldn't get inside, was spotless Wednesday morning.

    It's amazing people can leave such a mess and convince themselves that they give half a crap about the environment.

    meh! I am an Aussie our right is left of your centre but it does not worry me if you will not listen because it is ultimately your loss. I am teaching something here - it is called critical analysis and it is part of science

    I've never understood how people can carry a fold up chair to an event but they can't carry it home after.
    Same with tents at festivals.
