THE FIGHT against global warming is not hopeless. But the world must work harder. That is the upshot from a new report on the world’s energy use and emissions, which shows that modern economies can cut their addiction to carbon dioxide but that the pace must pick up.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) reported last month that global greenhouse emissions rose faster in 2017, after flattening out in the three previous years. Ramped-up economic growth in Asia is the main culprit.
Every country in the world, the United States included, must put in more effort. Even if stringent global emissions goals seem too difficult to reach, it is still worth cutting the risk of truly catastrophic warming as much as possible. The most plausible vehicle for encouraging global effort, so the United States does not shrink its carbon footprint while others dawdle, is the Paris agreement that President Trump repudiated. Unless the president changes his mind and the United States rejoins the pact, the country will squander the moral currency it earns when reports like this come out.

Tire burning scheduled to begin in 13 days to help celebrate “erf day” on 4/22. Keeping it warm is the goal. Guess these assclowns never lived near of above the arctic circle. Life’s a little tougher when it’s that friggin’ cold.
Global warming helps Russia in the Siberia and the Arctic - basis for an new anti-Russian conspiracy theory?
“if the world gets to work”... enslaving the American people.
It’s getting colder, not warmer. Gore-bull warming is a lie.
Global warming is a big persuasion fail.
When people in NYC get hit with snowstorm after snowstorm in late spring, global warming takes a heavy hit.
There is no way to disentangle the ‘real truth’ about this topic.
This global warming insanity has to stop.
Due to it, governments do not fully prepare for cold weather.
I just read that 48,000 brits have DIED due to cold this year.. over 22,000 more than ‘normal’
Mostly elderly that cant afford rising energy rates (due to the ‘greening’ of energy production)
Their blood is in the hands of those that keep pursuing this global warming insanity.
I guess the of the Soy Boy Hitler Youth Hoggg and the Parkland freakshow did not bump their generic ballot numbers for Democrats, back to the other meme to try and get those numbers up. It’s about the memes and manufacturered crisis. Hard sell when we are having the wettest, coldest and snowiest winter in 10 years. Without a culturally and color appropriate messiah or a crisis to latch onto, the Democrats are rudderless.
Global Warming / Climate change- progressive/liberal man’s arrogant attempt to think he has more control over what goes on here on Earth than God and Mother Nature.
These LIB anti-science poltroons continue their dishonesty. They are colluding with ignorance. That said, I too will burn a few old tractor tires to “celebrate” the so-called earth day. Gaia smokes...who knew???
The funny thing is Trump pulledout of the Paris Agreement AND American emissions have continued to fall....even while the emissions of those oh so pc Yurps’ have steadily risen.....AND it’s all down to evil fracking!
LOL! It’s enough to tie Gaia worshiping global socialist watermelons in knots.
I have an idea - have everyone in Canada and the northern tier of the USA face South and blow as hard as they can to push the cold air south and out of this frozen tundra they call Minnesota.
We have been 20-30 degrees below the normal temperatures expected in March and early April.
Only the US has brought it’s carbon foot print down because of fracking and clean coal. Let Europe, China and India ketchup.
These wackos have become a dangerous existential threat to society. Time to clean them out.
I live in Long Island New York, grew up in New York city, this has been THE longest winter I ever remember, ever. We are now in spring, it’s April and STILL we are getting snow and record cold weather. If this is global warming I’d hate to see what global freezing is like. This global warming HOAX has been going on for decades, what is it with liberals and time when it comes to a hoax? Do they have no concept of it? Robert Mueller can investigate a hoax forever and the left thinks it’s just getting started.
I’m glad to know that while I’m freezing my butt off during unseasonably cold weather it’s due to global warming. Please save me Al!
There’s still hope on global warming — if the world gets to work
But we have to do it right now or else. Just like the last 20 years these screaming headlines have proclaimed this and guess what, all those former deadlines past and still no warming. Huh, whoda thunk?
Does the Compost and Slimes just naturally suck up the left wing agenda no matter how far fetched it is?
Yes, yes and yes
Way to think for yourselves, you Stalwart Defenders of The First Amendment !!
“THE FIGHT against global warming is not hopeless.”
well, OF COURSE the propagandists must always proclaim “hope” for “stopping” climate change, because otherwise, if it was hopeless, then too many people would realize it would be pointless to enact the radical, leftist plan to destroy our economy, give our money away to other countries and regress our standard of living back to the stone age, because, well because it would be pointless ...
