Chinese coal fired plans and US coal fired plants aren’t even the same animal. We have cleaned up most of the real pollutants in coal. CO2 IS NOT a pollutant. In fact, we need it to grow plant life and make O2. We have had CO2 levels 4 times as high as now with colder temps. CO2 is not changing the temps. The Sun and Water vapor affect the Earth’s temp. The Sun has 11-17 year cycles of sunspot activity and that will affect the Earth’s temp. As sunspot activity rises, so will the temps. Ice has been melting for 20k years if you believe the scientists that study the Ice Age. I don’t expect that will stop until the next cycle. People have NO AFFECT an the weather. 3/4 of the Earth is ocean. If land were covered elbow to elbow, we couldn’t affect the weather. Climate change propaganda has spurred some sort of mental illness that won’t allow low information voters to comprehend even basic principles of science to the point they even argue with self evident measurements. If the temp is 75 deg, they will argue that it would have been 74 degrees if we just paid more money to Africa.
