Last, Best Chance to Fight Climate Change

[odanny]

Amazingly, Trump wanted to lower any emission standards and ramp up the use of pollution causing fossil fuels. His brain dead followers cheered, like they always do.

But that idiot is gone, and there are Republicans who actually are concerned about climate change, and now we have a President to lead the way.



The Earth’s climate has always been a work in progress. In the 4.5 billion years the planet has been spinning around the sun, ice ages have come and gone, interrupted by epochs of intense heat. The highest mountain range in Texas was once an underwater reef. Camels wandered in evergreen forests in the Arctic. Then a few million years later, 400 feet of ice formed over what is now New York City. But amid this geologic mayhem, humans have gotten lucky. For the past 10,000 years, virtually the entire stretch of human civilization, people have lived in what scientists call “a Goldilocks climate” — not too hot, not too cold, just right.

Now, our luck is running out. The industrialized nations of the world are dumping 34 billion tons or so of carbon into the atmosphere every year, which is roughly 10 times faster than Mother Nature ever did on her own, even during past mass extinction events. As a result, global temperatures have risen 1.2 C since we began burning coal, and the past seven years have been the warmest seven years on record. The Earth’s temperature is rising faster today than at any time since the end of the last ice age, 11,300 years ago. We are pushing ourselves out of a Goldilocks climate and into something entirely different — quite literally, a different world than humans have ever lived in before.

Now Is Our Last Best Chance to Confront the Climate Crisis

With Joe Biden in office, a serious plan to combat climate change is finally in our sights — but the clock is ticking, and there is no more room for error

If we don't pollute but China and India do how are you going to save the planet?....isn't it interesting to note that John Kerry who tipped off Iran over who conducted air strikes on their paid rebel forces is handing Iran back the title of oil supplier to the world?...are you libs this stupid?...

We have passed tipping point, after tipping point. One time one of the clowns claimed we only had "weeks to act!"

That was two decades ago.

So now you have decided that it's an emergency if our climate changes by a few degrees (even though your own source states that we have seen much more extreme swings over the past 4.5 billion years)...

And since your source clearly states that civilization has only been around for the last 10,000 years or so (when the climate has actually been really stable according to your source, which refers to it as the "Goldilocks climate"), you can't deny that those wild swings in the climate could not have been manmade!!!!

Considering these points, isn't it possible that the Democrats are feeding us a load of horseshit by claiming that we are responsible for any changes to our climate, instead of admitting that they are probably caused by conditions over which we have no control ????

Oh, right, there you are.

Since the OP has done such an outstanding job of proving that the largest climate swings (hot temperatures and Ice Ages) could not have possibly been caused by man-made climate change, and that we've only seen a couple of degrees difference since we began burning coal, I'm anxiously awaiting his dire warnings that we will all die within the next 8-10 years unless we give 100,000,000,000,000 (100 TRILLION) dollars to the Democrats, their cronies, and the world's largest producers of "greenhouse gasses" (like China)!!!!!
