The investment of billions in renewables hasn’t given us Jack shit.

There’s a legal term for it, it’s called fraud.

It’s allowed China to triple their carbon output since the year 2000.

Somehow Democrats feel China is on a different planet.

No matter how much we reduce your carbon China increases theirs.

Solyndra. The future belongs to companies like this.

“””But CO2 does play a role in climate as a greenhouse gas, and it makes sense to keep track of it and see what possible effects it may have so we can adapt to any possible changes.”””

One could write all day, every day about the horsepuckey of C02 and Globull Warming. C02 is Plant Food. It is true that with more C02, the planet is more green, since the green things (plants) have more food. I have mentioned previously that it would be great to have C02 production awards. More C02 means more life. Most EVERY lifeform on the planet is carbon-based.

Also, I have enlightened a few liberals with the fact that not very long ago, New York and Chicago were under a mile of ice; and will be again. There is nothing we can do to stop the coming cold. We can adapt. There will be little, short Ice Ages, and then long, long periods of cold. We used to questimate that the short periods of warmth between the long periods of cold were about 10,000 to 15,000 years long. We are overdue for some significant cold. I would love to move into the future, when much of the northern US is under ice, and visit the future Comedy Channel, with replays of AlGore and all the other flimfan creeps.

Germany spent 550 billion Euros on wind and solar - and yet, the country now has “carbon output” higher than ever.

Green energy is a SCAM

It does not. Earlier he says it is a trace gas and it is. It is negligible as a green house gas. When you try to be reasonable with the other side they capitalize on it and distort your position.

Keep the message simple. Carbon dioxide does not significantly contribute to Global Warming. It contributes to plant growth.

Hasn't bought me a damn thing, but there are thousands of drones working useless jobs who have built their entire careers on this nonsense.

One of the things that the ADW (or climate change) clowns fail to acknowledge is that CO2 is a trace element in the atmosphere. Without CO2, life doesn’t exist. If I remember correctly, CO2 is 0.04 % of the atmosphere. I have heard that if it drops to 0.02 percent, the planet starts to die.

Has it dawned on the greenies that all the windmills and solar panels were probably manufactured using fossil fuels as the energy source. Will the use of renewable energy support future heavy industry? Component parts of windmills and solar panels are fabricated in China where they scoff at the idea of a fossil fuel-free industry.

>> activists who pour out milk, throw soup at art, glue themselves to every available surface, and scream constantly about “science” as if having tantrums is how science is done<<

This crap continues because we have not eliminated any of them with extreme prejudice. Isn’t it odd that none of these cowardly activists try their shenanigans around Putin or Mr. Xi? The same can be said about the criminal elements endangering our streets. Haul a few off in body bags and see how fast we can transform our major cities into livable places.

Hand the big guy his 10% and all that will change.

The greenies will make China fabulously wealthy and the West dismally poor.

Carbon dioxide does not significantly contribute to Global Warming. It contributes to plant growth.

Contributes is greatly understating CO2's star role in the carbon cycle. Carbon is the key atom of all organic life. The source of all this carbon is the atmospheric trace gas CO2.

Leftists at some point will switch their focus from CO2's effects on climate, nearly nothing, to its role as the critical choke point of all life on Earth, nearly everything. Leftist envy is driven by this existence of competitive life forms which consume THEIR limited resources. By attacking life at its choke point, they believe it will reduce the source of their mental anguish, and they will finally achieve happiness.

The carbon they want to eliminate is you.

yep. Watch what they do, not what they say.

See the Davos set flying all over the place in their private jets? See the same from the Hollywood types? See their giant energy sucking seaside mansions?

These are people who obviously don’t believe one damn word they’re spewing.

“oh but I have *carbon credits*” Oh! You mean you’ve bought some Green Indulgences from the church of Gaia?
