Senate ratifies climate treaty that will raise cost of home appliances 'The last thing the American people need right now is another household necessity rising in price'

The Senate on Wednesday ratified an international treaty that mandates nations to phase out hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) to protect the earth’s ozone layer, which will impose new standards that will raise the costs of air conditioning and refrigeration.

A group of 50 Senate Democrats and 19 Republicans voted to pass the Kigali Amendment to the 1987 United Nations (UN) Montreal Protocol. The amendment, which 27 Republicans voted to oppose, will limit the production and use of HFCs, man-made chemicals that are primarily used for cooling and refrigeration, by 85% over 15 years, which could substantially increase consumer and business costs in related industries.

OFFS! SMDH! Really. These assclowns are beyond clueless. Hey assclowns try these on and we'll wait for the answers:

1. Define the “correct” temperature range for the planet.

2. Define the “correct” humidity range for the planet.

3. Define the “correct” mean sea level for the planet.

4. Define the “correct” amount of precipitation for the planet.

5. Define the “correct” makeup of the atmosphere.

6. Define the “correct” amount of sea ice at the N/S poles.

7. Define/explain past glaciation and subsequent warming without any input from humans.

Psssstttttt. You might want to form a committee to investigate the vanishing of glaciers from Yosemite, Chicago and NYC while you're at it. Fidiots!

TOTALLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!!!

Remember the Constitution? Yeah that thing, the ONLY legal bulwark of freedom against the tyranny of the federal government.

Might be a good idea to REMEMBER the Constitution and ENFORCE the Constitution.

Yep, good questions.

What do Al Gore and Greta Thunberg have to say about such questions?

I’ve had some discussions with people about how earth has had ice ages in the past, and how Chicago was buried under a mile of ice during the last ice age. How did all that ice melt, was my question to them, as this happened thousands of years before the industrial revolution and coal fired power plants.

I never get any coherent answer to such questions. Yet these people swear that man is the reason we have seen climate change.

My wife have just been, incrementally, reducing our need to participate in most of our society’s culture and economy. We’ve also never been vaccinated and have no health insurance. We cover it all ourselves, trusting in the Great Healer, who has been unbelievably faithful.

That increase is pocket change compared to the yearly climate scam cost increase in utilities to operate your new appliances.

We have 25 acres of woods and wood burning stoves...There is a reason we moved here from Seattle in 2011.

Good luck at finding a Roll Call vote. It looks like Kennedy, Cotton, and other “conservatives” stabbed us in the back yet again. They must be really scared, b/c they’re keeping it hush, hush.

I’ve been searching for a Roll Call vote for half an hour.

It’s a seemingly perfect solution.

The old ammonia systems worked, and some still do to this day.

No environmental problems, in fact ammonia is good FERTILIZER.

The modern technology using PTFE (Teflon) seals and on connections would preclude any leakage problems.

The systems are proven for safe for many decades...................

Kigali Amendment . . . named after the capital of Rwanda which was such a model of how to do genocide right.

After all, a core globalist article of faith is that there are too many people on the planet and something closer to a half billion is the right number.
