Political science is largely about polling.

Has global client science also become the same way?

Say no more about the article writer..She looks like she’s 15 years old, brainwashed by the People’s Republic of Kalifornia.

re> University of California

California wildfires are single handedly heating and polluting the whole west coast. Funny no one talks of the huge amount of pollution these fire are producing.

[manc]

what is she 24 and sent her short working life in academia????

[Jim Robinson]

Yup. Political science as taught by Dr. Joseph Goebbels.

We all know that old saying about “opinions”.

[Zathras]

When I want to know about physics and chemistry, I always talk first with leftist political hacks.
Oh and she needs to get her story correct...
“Women and minorities hardest hit”

[FlingWingFlyer]

What would an “ASSISTANT professor of political science” know about the climate? Does she do brain surgery too?

There was a study sometime in the last twenty years that showed that CAFE standards so not reduce the use of gasoline but that, instead, people drive more because it's cheaper to drive. The cost in human lives and material damage is also higher with he cafe standards.People are also more apt to be driving two cars because the super fuel miser cars don't have enough room. As usual you have to look for the real reason for this sort of rule making. In part it is to push people out of cars altogether and into public transportation so that their movements can be more controlled and monitored. If fuel efficiency and pollution were the real reasons then we would be encouraging diesel which produces less "pollution" per mile than gasoline because it gets more miles per gallon even while producing slightly more "pollution" per gallon.

Carbonophobia is a lethal form of retardation. All life is carbon based.

Total volume of CO2 in the atmosphere is only .03%.

Man made contributions to that are 3.225% of that .03%.

We need more carbon!

[A_perfect_lady]

That's the plan, sweetheart. You see, the rising seas will wipe out all you liberals on the coastline, and then ... well, that's it. Get ready for THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW!!

REEEEEEEEE!!! RED WAVE!!!

Leah Stokes is an ignoramus.

“cars and trucks are the largest source of carbon pollution”

Nope, not even close. First, there’s no such thing as “carbon pollution”. Second, electricity generation emits more carbon dioxide than cars and trucks. If we only consider cars and trucks subject to CAFE standards, their emissions are far less than those associated with electricity generation.

[An.American.Expatriate]

Congress should be passing new efficiency standards for cars through a law that keeps everyone in this country safer from dirty air and dangerous climate change.

At least she understands who is actually responsible for making laws ...

[lurk]

She is smiling in the pic, but I’ll bet she knows some naughty words if someone crosses her.

[Tenacious 1]

Instead, big oil companies are the true winners in Trump's plan to roll back this policy. Under the new plan, they can continue to sell large volumes of their dangerous and expensive commodity for gas-guzzling cars.

Oil is dangerous AND expensive? I learned something new today.

[Spok]

Because some how dirty air will benefit Trump how? Do these idiots ever listen to themselves?
