Man did not cause climate change. Natural cycles and other factors did.

The fact that smug little Millenial a-holes were brainwashed to believe that hoax does not mean we should allow anti-American, anti-capitalism, pro-Communist actions to spread like a plague. We have to stop them.

These policies by these leftist politicians at the local level is basically treason and subversive tactics. I’ve thought for a long time that there are foreign tentacles operating under the guise of green tactics. The watermelon factor.

Sue the volcanos that created your islands, they have had more impact on the climate than anything man has done.

OK, don’t deliver gasoline and oil products to Hawaii. Let’s see how long that works.

I wonder if Honolulu has followed in misguided footsteps of California cities regarding taking on big oil.
Big Oil throws California’s climate change hypocrisy back in its face (January 11, 2018)

Houston’s flooding is caused by them building houses in the floodplain and pouring so much concrete around the floodplain it floods worse than it would have 50 years ago.

And the fires in California were caused by the Sierra Club and other environmentalist groups suing to prevent the clearing of overgrown trees and brush around power lines.

I would think the onus of proof is on the city.

They must

1) Produce clear examples of global warming impact. (Projected impacts are speculation).

2) Prove the warming is man-made and not natural or a short or long term anomaly.

OK, stop importing all fossil fuels to Oahu tomorrow. After a few months we can check with Josh Stanbro, Honolulu’s chief resilience officer, to see how resilient they really are.

Yep. They can rely 100% on solar and wind, no oil or LNG backups.

The island was made by a hotspot on the ocean floor.
Try stopping nature.

Cut them off. No more gas or oil for Hawaii.
They have more than their share of sun for solar anyway.
