Well, the offial flowing out of the mouths of so-called “progressives” certainly pollutes the environment.

If we lose this November, then it’s about 46 to 48 percent of Americans vs. the world.

We better win.

Just exactly what IS “climate pollution”, anyway?

These people have a most highly developed capability of taking known words of specific definition of the English language, then stringing them together into some fashion which communicates no intellectual content whatsoever.

How do you “pollute” climate? Not exactly an oxymoron, but it is like using pancakes to shingle your house, it makes no sense. Pollution is not something you do to climate. You may pollute air, or water, both of which are elements of climate, but they are NOT “climate”.

You pollute water, then take steps to clarify it, and if the right protocol is followed, it may even be drinkable. Our sewage systems are examples of deliberate pollution of water, yet eventually the water is returned to the environment. Likewise, with the atmosphere made up of some 20% oxygen, some 79% nitrogen, and some fraction of other compounds in gaseous form, most notably water vapor, which has a widely varying presence in the atmosphere, and a very small fraction of carbon dioxide, which, despite legal definition to the contrary, is NOT a pollutant. Trees, grass, algae, and even tomato plants breathe up this carbon dioxide, turning it into free oxygen on a continuing basis, while turning the now combined carbon and water into various forms of hundreds or thousands of different compounds, carbohydrates.

Some of which you wear, or you eat, or use to build houses.

The “problem” with pollution is actually, over time, self-correcting. Given the means to facilitate this correction (other than by absolute prohibitions against any act that may result in “pollution”), in solving the problem there may very well be a new consequence, in which life for all mankind and the earth itself may be enriched, and the triumph of technology wins again.
