Anthropogenic global warming is not a scam. It is a widely accepted scientific theory. The semantical distinction between global warming and climate change is utterly irrelevant. And please show us the record breaking cold weather:
Scientists reach opposite conclusions depending upon which datasets they use.

| 1 Utility-scale electricity generation is electricity generation from power plants with at least one megawatt (or 1,000 kilowatts) of total electricity generating capacity. Data are for net electricity generation. 2 Small-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are electricity generators with less than one megawatt (MW) of electricity generating capacity, which are not connected at a power plant that has a combined capacity of one MW or larger. Most small-scale PV systems are at or near the location where the electricity is consumed and many are net metered systems. The smaller ones are usually installed on building rooftops. 3 Other gases includes blast furnace gas and other manufactured and waste gases derived from fossil fuels. 4 Pumped storage hydroelectricity generation is negative because most pumped storage electricity generation facilities use more electricity than they produce on an annual basis. Most pumped storage systems use fossil fuels or nuclear energy for pumping water to the storage component of the system. 5 Other (utility-scale) sources includes non-biogenic municipal solid waste, batteries, hydrogen, purchased steam, sulfur, tire-derived fuel, and other miscellaneous energy sources. |

I love how you act like #2 (if true) is some kind of big win
Not remotely true. It is scrubbed very thoroughly in America. In third world crapholes, not so much.I love how you act like #2 (if true) is some kind of big win
Coal is so fuck’n filthy. And your electric cars will ensure that the use of coal is increased 10-fold.
The only way your pure idiocy works is if you also demand that nuclear power make up more than 90% of all electricity.
Compared to wind and solar, even thoroughly scrubbed, it's filthy. And, of course, the scrubbers aren't doing anything about the CO2 emitted.
CO2 is irrelevant to Earth's climate
well technically we need it for oxygen. The point missed by every demofk trying to end CO2. Dude, it's hilarious, they want us to stop breathing is the play. Listen to the lady in this clip off Russell Brand.
