"Science be damned!" Let's have Oil rule our lives!

[Luckyone]

yep .. fossil fuels were also responsible for the much warmer temps during the Cretaceous period !

You mean these existed then?

 

[Mac-7]

Wow, to pay off so much money so all the thousands of scientists will say the same thing must have cost trillions of dollars, not to mention the loss of their reputations that they spent their whole lives studying for and achieving.

Do you know who specifically "who" has the ability (economically and man-wise) to do all of that?

It costs nothing to fire and then blackball any scientist who wanders off the reservation

[Muhammed]

You mean "be sure to exacerbate the issue because others are also doing it!. Why should "I" (the president) try to make things better. Instead, let me join them in ******* up the world!"

Carbon dioxide is not "******* up the Earth". It greens the planet.

The AI buildout is providing a HUGE opportunity for a wide variety of companies to improve power generation and capacity. Improvements are constant now. It's already being applied to car/truck technology, and ultimately that will bring prices down and choices up.

Regardless of the climate issue, clean and renewable energy is definitely on its way. It's a shame that so many hate the idea simply because their simplistic, hyperpartisan ideology makes them do so. There is absolutely nothing wrong with clean, intelligent and cheap. For a change.

Do it without subsidies and im all for it. Beat out oil with no tax payer money and I’ll buy it. Until then shut and stop being a whiny *****.

Trump set to gut US climate change policy and environmental regulations: White House official​

WASHINGTON February 10, 2026 (AP) — The Trump administration is expected this week to revoke a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, according to a White House official.

The Environmental Protection Agency will issue a final rule rescinding a 2009 government declaration known as the endangerment finding. That Obama-era policy determined that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases endanger public health and welfare.

Here is the percentage of scientists that say that climate change is caused by humans

Between 97% and 99.9% of actively publishing climate scientists agree that humans are the primary cause of recent global warming. Multiple studies confirm this overwhelming consensus, with research analyzing scientific literature indicating that more than 99% of peer-reviewed papers support human-caused climate change.

The Causes of Climate Change​

Over the last century, burning of fossil fuels like coal and oil has increased the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). This increase happens because the coal or oil burning process combines carbon with oxygen in the air to make CO2.

Who benefits from cutting these regulations:

• Key beneficiaries of removing carbon emission regulations include:
  • Fossil Fuel Industry: Oil, gas, and coal companies benefit from lower compliance expenditures, such as the elimination of reporting requirements (e.g., the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program) and reduced costs for upgrading equipment to meet emissions standards.
  • Manufacturing Sector: Industries with high energy consumption, such as steel and cement manufacturers, may face lower operating costs, allowing them to compete more effectively with foreign, higher-carbon products.
  • Transportation and Automobile Industry: Automakers, particularly those focusing on internal combustion engines, may see lower manufacturing costs and fewer fines, while the trucking industry expects reduced logistical costs, according to the American Trucking Association.
  • Small Businesses: Supporters argue that removing "burdensome" regulations will save small businesses billions in compliance costs.
  • Consumers (Short-Term): Proponents argue that reducing energy regulations will lead to cheaper, more reliable, and more affordable energy for heating and transportation.
  
  While there are some short-term economic benefits to Americans and American companies by taking down these regulations, such as tangible cost reductions, the removal of these regulations is heavily criticized by environmental and health advocates. As such, this is more about short-term political goals of Trump than it is about helping the future of our world.

Dude, I thought you were supposed to be some kind of market analyst guy.
You should know how heavily invested in big oil most of the market, as well as most Americans are (whether or not they even know it)

What are you trying to do, wreck the economy, or were you stupid enough to invest in the green scam?

 

[DonGlock26]

You mean "be sure to exacerbate the issue because others are also doing it!. Why should "I" (the president) try to make things better. Instead, let me join them in ******* up the world!"

Why are you contacting me? They still have their private jets.

 

[Muhammed]

What are these improvements you claim are being applied to cars and trucks that will bring diwn prices?

Musk said he's going to put a flying car on the market for $6000.

I bet it will use barrel shaped fans.

You mean that I have.the ability to “wreck the economy” all by my lonesome self?

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Yes. This is what I voted for.

Are all those scientists working as a team (like for example, members of the NY Yankees?

Where is the technology that can replace oil 1:1 to run the US Economy? China, Russia, India, Africa, Latin America - none of them have given up Oil. Why should US?

I don’t give a shit if the US Economy runs on air, sun, water, leaves, etc. But, none of the other nations have abandoned oil, why should we?

 

[SassyIrishLass]

"Green" is never going to replace fossil fuels.

To think otherwise is a fool's errand

 

[Nostra]

China built one coal fired power plant per week in 2025.

I think my diesel pickup is good.

Why China is building so many coal plants despite its solar and wind boom

Even as China’s expansion of solar and wind power raced ahead in 2025, the Asian giant opened many more coal power plants than it had in recent years — raising concern about whether the world’s largest emitter will reduce carbon emissions enough to limit climate change.

Carbon dioxide is not "******* up the Earth". It greens the planet.

The lunatics think it's a pollutant.

They are actually arguing for the impossibility of a static Earth that locks in today's climate because short sighted humans built mega cities in historical flood regions.

Frankly, it's still too damn cold for me.

If it wasn't for climate change my house would be under a mile of ice.
There are also buried fossils of sea creatures under my area as it was once the beach of an ancient sea when the Earth was much warmer.

But apparently progtards think we are at the pinicle of a perfect climate and it must be locked in with no deviations no matter the cost.

It's been a cold winter here. I could use some globull warming
