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

[petro]

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

I actually hope for palm trees on the beaches of Lake Superior.
I would celebrate with a tropical drink.

Pretty disappointed with the rate of warming.

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

They conform to the greenie standard as a team

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

Sounds like the MAGA cry:

"Science be dammed!" Let's have religion, superstition and priests rule our education system and lives.

 

[Bitterhook]

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

You and anyone else grifting the green scam.

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.

Should have just kept it simple, stupid.
It's a platform for wealth distribution.

See, it really isn't complicated at all.

Interesting

They conform to the greenie standard as a team

Why would they ALL do that? Have they ALL invested in green energy? Why haven’t the Oil companies tried to BUY them out? I mean, the Oil companies have more money than the green energy companies do. In addition Trump would help them out. If their opinion on Climate Change can be bought, why wouldn’t they sell it to Trump and the Billionaire Oil company’s czars?

In my state, Europeans were investigating the idea of logging slash pine, to turn into pulp and reduce to fuel used in ships and get all kinds of credits while meeting their country's requirements.

It was a big fricken scam, slush fund nonsense, and they bailed on the idea when they found out they could not abandon the land after they logged it and had to replant and hold it for a decade or more.

 

[Luckyone]

Well, you can try if that's what you want to do.

You did say that I have the power to do so, meaning I don’t have to TRY. It is a guaranteed power you said I have!

Did the Banker go out and buy some green stock, pennies on the dollar?
Is this what the thread is really all about?

No, I asked you if that was what you wanted to do, and you are talking the same type nonsense as the green energy crap you support.

But go ahead and think whatever you want, and keep trying if you want to.

No, but when someone opens the door to insanity, don”t blame me if I don’t enter it to have fun!

I actually bought a green stock. A Chinese EV maker, bought it around 4 bucks and sold it for around 68.

NIO was the symbol. It's now down around 4 bucks lol. Easiest 25k I ever made

No that would be e.g. Shanghai, a city with more then 25 million inhabitants.

Compared to e.g. Amarillo Texas - "a MAGA city"
