    He also resorts to name calling.

    LOL. I was pointing out that the best YOU'VE got to debate with is pictures. That's what happens when you can't think of anything to say.

    But they are wrong. We actually have very little influence on climate. On decadal to millennial time scales, it's mostly determined by the sun, as it has been for billions of years.

    Their support for a creature like Trump is certainly deplorable -- but then, supporting Hillary would be deplorable, too. I guess the difference is that it should take a lot less intelligence to understand why supporting Trump is deplorable than it takes to understand why supporting Hillary is deplorable.

    One of us cites sources, posts graphs, supplies proof (me) ... and one of us doesn't (you).

    Doesn’t matter what we do. As long as China and India continue not to give a ****, whatever we do is mostly meaningless.

    Several people have done a better job than I at listing things Trump got right. You won't hear any of them if all you see or hear is from MSM. You probably haven't seen any of them here either, but they are here.

    AFAIK, the things Trump "got right" were mostly Band-Aid solutions that only papered over serious problems.

    No, they mostly were outside the establishment guidelines. Nobody is supposed to surprise them but that was what Trump did, he cut red tape.

    We didn't create it and can't stop it. Indeed, anti-fossil-fuel hysteria diverts attention and resources from the mitigation measures that would actually help us deal with natural climate change.

    Not to mention several other countries as well. The left would have Americans give up heat, air conditioning, travel, manufacturing, etc to bring us back to the stone ages while China rules the world with ever increasing manufacturing and technology.

    There are plenty of people here who know how I live, and have lived for almost 30 years. Your comment tells me you're not one of them.

    It's less funny when said out of that ignorance, but I got a laugh out of it anyway :p

    It's not about you and your virtue signaling. We have to reset the path of the economy.
    Your comments say clearly you have no interest in having society cut greenhouse gases.

    An ugly truth. Cutting use of fossil has to include them.

    You don't seem to have much interest in the truth.

    Not if we put a pillow on Sander's face (he's against nuclear power) and use nuclear power reactors to generate electricity.

    Exactly. It's on every one of us who professes to care, to stop funding the companies causing the problems. If we stop demanding their goods and services, they'll stop producing them.

    My life says I care enough to walk the talk. And FTR, society is us.

    Very true. They truly don’t get it. They want to change the world? Then everyone has to put China back in its place and make the responsible for the **** they’re doing. Instead they’re all bending over.

    You have only flawed "evidence" that this is normal. The planet has NEVER heated up this much this fast.

    If "voluntary" worked, we wouldn't have people building mega homes, driving F350s, etc.
    See above about "voluntary" not working.
    It isn't about you.
