I think we heading for a cooling spell, but its a guess on my part
He must be fighting green plant monsters that are growing like crazy eating up the CO2. Like Oaks, Maples, Pines - they're so scary!

How completely stupid. How many lives have coal and nat gas saved or made a lot easier? Millions, hundreds of millions?
This is a direct attack on the middle class and most people don't realize it!
BTTT

Let me see the size of his house, horsepower of his cars, number of miles flown in private jets, then we can understand if he is serious in his concern.
How many personal aircraft does he own and how often does he fly in them? Also, how many homes does he own? He probably has a carbon footprint the size of a corporation.
I love happy endings.
He sank on the Titanic......................
all that carbon was once IN THE ATMOSPHERE......................
We’re just putting it back where it belongs................
