It doesn’t matter that their climate change crap is pure nonsense and is nothing more than a wealth redistribution plan designed to control people.

This is stupid. The planet doesn’t need saving. Don’t play their game.
Read the article, its not that difficult.
Who is crazier? The lunatic or the people that follow the lunatic and take them seriously?
Even your post is playing their game. CARBON DIOXIDE IS NOT A POLLUTANT!!!! SHOUT IT FROM THE ROOF TOPS!!!!
Repubtards: The greatest collection of cowards in world history.
I just don't care about it.
I don't lose sleep over it. I'm not in the least bit worried about rising sea levels. I have not seen any evidence that climate change will be catastrophic.
Humans will adapt. We always have. And adaptation won't require laws that crush our economy, force us to live in the Stone Age, or transfer billions of dollars in wealth to African despots.
We'll make it through climate change.
No, to read the article means I think somehow the planet needs “saving”, screw that. Get it?
GOP Inc must become extinct.
The earth has two climatic states. Leaving an ice age or approaching an ice age. We are leaving the last ice age so the climate is getting infinitesimally warmer ever year which would be happening whether humans existed or not.
I really do loathe most republican politicians especially the Bush acolytes as much as the dems. Maybe more because the republican liars are like a family member that steals from you. You get it when a mugger takes your wallet, you hate it but you expect it too. On the other hand when your brother does it it hurts.
Republiocans are buying into the pie to get their slices, too, but come the Revolution- green or just classic Red, they will be excreted first.
Someone’s busy behind the scenes in prep for 2020. I doubt it’s about money. More likely compromised and they’re being allowed to keep their secrets.
Record low temps in late January caused the Gov to encourage people to set thermostats to 60, and refrain from using hot water because of a brown out. As it happens, snow covered solar panels rendering them useless, requiring the dire and no doubt very inconvenient accommodations. It seems the solar power company could not see fit to remove the snow, not that it would have helped in the dark of night. h/t John Hinderaker/Powerline.
Elsewhere we hear of battery powered Tesla's burning up in frigid cold.
One stem-winder from DJT highlighting all these wonderful "benefits of renewable energy" would end this nonsense.
This may be the tipping point that starts CW-II.
The resistance to the validity of anthropogenic climate change is just not only because it is costly and tiring, but also because there is no real-world basis for the so-called “science” that is liberally scattered, like animal waste on snow. As the snow melts, the pollution problem is vastly exacerbated. Good, calibrated and thoughtful reasoning is displaced by inflated claims and bogus assertions that have no basis in fact.
1. Carbon dioxide is NOT an air pollutant. It is a very necessary part of what the mythologists like to call the “circle of life”, but they neglect to account for its presence being the very REASON we have any oxygen to breathe at all.
2. Despite all the hoopla about carbon dioxide being the “cause” of continuing accumulation of heat energy in the atmosphere, and therefore “contributing” to global warming, the compound simply does not have that capability. Firstly, carbon dioxide is of such low concentration in the present-day atmosphere, that the potential heat absorption would be dispersed by a multitude of other factors, and secondly, the heat absorption factor of CO2 is about equal to that of water vapor, which exists as part of the atmosphere in VASTLY greater quantities, from 20 to 100 times the amount as carbon dioxide. So any heat absorption by CO2 is negligible.
3. The mechanism of heat absorption by water, in all its forms, from solid (as ice) to liquid, to water vapor, is unusual as compared to most other compounds, as there is, under terrestrial conditions, something called the “triple point”, in which at 0 degrees Centigrade, the compound may exist as a solid, a liquid and a gas simultaneously. This is a capacity shared with many other gases, to be sure, like ammonia, and yes, even carbon dioxide, but it takes vastly different conditions for either of those two compounds to achieve a “triple point”, relating to both temperature and ambient pressure. Under low enough temperature, and high enough pressure, ammonia and carbon dioxide can form as both solid and liquid, and also remain in gaseous form. Just not here under normal earth atmospheric conditions, at sea level.
4. Carbon dioxide is HEAVIER than the mixtures of gaseous compounds that make up our atmosphere, and thus, stays very close to the bottom of the atmosphere. Water vapor (and methane, another “suspect” gas), being LIGHTER than the other atmospheric components, tend to rise, and when water vapor does this, as it cools, it forms visible clouds, and in doing so, COOLS the surrounding atmosphere, as the excess heat is radiated off to space while the face of the earth is turned away from the sun.
5. Methane is a different aspect of this heat transfer. Unimpeded, it would simply drift higher and higher, escaping into space, but there is something called the “ozone layer”, created by the ionizing effect of sunlight on the diatomic oxygen molecule, making three O2 molecules into two O3 molecules, ozone. This is a highly active form of oxygen, and when methane comes into contact, the methane is quickly oxidized back into a molecule of carbon dioxide and two molecules of water. The carbon dioxide sinks back down through lower levels of the atmosphere, being heavier, while the water molecules formed join with the rest of the store of water vapor at high altitudes. Because of the radiation of heat, the vapor is transformed into ice crystals, which being denser than the surrounding rarefied atmosphere, falls towards the surface of the earth.
There are undoubtedly many other important processes going on simultaneously in the atmosphere, so the effect that may be attributed to the presence of carbon dioxide has zero-sum effect.
Therefore, there is no valid reason to limit carbon-based fuel, or even to apply a tax to its use. That is just a scheme to apply yet another tax to curb economic activity here on earth, and serves no purpose except to destroy all incentive to innovate for new and more efficient ways to apply the energy sources we have at our disposal.
We’ve seen this kind of group think momentum pushing government to do something really stupid in the past and it was called Prohibition. Instead of “demon rum” we have “demon carbon”. I can see the day when bootleggers will be carrying jugs of gasoline and people will have to sneak into unmarked gas stations made to look like a speakeasy to fill up their illegal car. How many apocalyptic prophets have predicted that we would all be extinct by now due to the effects of warming that never happened? You’d think people would catch on to the game by now but just like Jehovah Witnesses they keep pursuing their mission from God.
RINOs got excited by AOC’s $85 trillion price tag. That buys a whole lot of pork!

How much longer before we start seeing the word “quadrillion” being bandied about?
Not worn down. He’s been bought up. They reached a $$$$ figure he couldn’t/wouldn’t refuse.
