You know that treaty we never signed? Trump says that situation isn’t going to change.
Heads explode.
“There is really only one way to have a prayer of convincing a country under assault by Boko Haram or ISIS, or by Ebola or Malaria, or by mass unemployment or the threat of war, to adopt such a program: if you see the biggest, most successful economies on earth doing it first.”
More importantly there’s money for them for signing it - all the despots of the armpits of the world will get rich with this scheme. They’d be fools to not sign on.
The Democrats are so upset?
OK.
Submit the Paris whatever it is to the Senate for ratification.
EXCELLENT! Thanks for posting.
Great research as usual.
How does a conservative like you, survive in Chicago?
Thanks

How many Wind Farm and Solar Farms are there in Germany and France?
I think the US should only give grant money for scientists who find ways to reduce CO2. If the are not working on a solution they don’t get the grant
I don’t know exactly when it happened, but, at some point in the past our president became a dictator/King and our Congress became a place for those with connections to go get rich or stay rich or increase their riches.

Global Warming - Climate Change world biggest hoax and scam.
Just like Obama causing Global Flooding by pissing in the ocean.
That much can humans contribute.
Elaborate scam to screw off taxpayers off their money!
Earth climate and changes are dependent on Suns and Sunspots activity supplying 99.99% of energy. Humans can do schit about it.
Volcano eruptions can produce much more distractions to climate than all humans and SUVs farting together.
CO2 is not poison, it is food for plants, which in turn produce Oxygen, that we need to breathe.
STOP the scam, jail all the scammers!!!
God bless and protect Mr. Trump!
MAGA!!!!

A twist I throw at folks that causes mental vapor lock.
- I’m against climate change!
- - What?!?! So you are for climate stagnation?
- What are you talking about?
- - Well if you are against climate CHANGE, you are for it’s opposite, which is climate stagnation. Given this, what is you recommended world wide levels of precipitation, how many tornadoes and hurricanes should we have annually, how thick and how many square miles of ice shelf is reasonable, what should average ocean temperatures be, what should the constant temperature of Boulder Colorado be?
- Wait a second, you’re being stupid, no one can know how to answer those questions.
- - Exactly ... and yet you still feel you can do a better job at this than Mother Nature.
The last ice age lasted more than 2.6 million years. The warming periods between ice ages is about 15 to 20 thousand years. The Northern and Southern Ice Caps have not melted so by definition we are still in an ice age. In fact we may be in a brief warming period but not the end of an ice age. Geologically speaking if we went back to full blown ice age it would not be unusual.
Life on earth is harsh during an ice age. Vast numbers of species die. If I had to choose between a new ice age and a true end of this ice age, I would be a fool to choose ice age. If we are really at the end of an ice age the ice caps will melt and the seas will rise. Life will flourish on earth due to an abundance of food. We could very well be heading back into a full blown ice age. Life will be hard if such is the case.
If the ice caps do melt it will not be a deluge of the sea into New York, London, Paris, Rome, etc. This will be a very very slow rise in sea levels. We will retreat slowly from the coastlines. In fact the progression will be so slow that everything we had built by the coasts will have long since been gone due to the thousands of years.
20,000 years ago something caused the icecaps to start melting. Unless we were driving SUVs, Flying G6s ala Al Gore, and burning vast amounts of oil that we did not have access to, humans did not have a damn thing to do with the end of the last ice age or which I think is a warming period in an ice age that has not ended.
Click on the link below to see a graph of sea level rises over the last 20,000 years. It is dramatic until about 8000 years ago. It then slowed greatly though the sea levels are still rising slowly.
The graph shows that what is driving the warming period is ending.
We do not have enough geologic evidence to know if this is a normal end of an ice age or the beginning of a full blown ice age after a brief warming period in a current ice age.
Relative to plant growth and food the earth is in a historical CO2 starvation. When CO2 levels are high plants thrive and animals flourish. In the past before humans walked the earth CO2 levels were many times greater than today at time.
Glaciation is the norm on earth. Enjoy the warmth while we can.
Orbital Mechanics and normal cycles of the sun is what drive glaciation and warming periods. Pray for the warm as the cold is bad, very bad for life.
