On Tuesday’s broadcast of CBS’s “Late Show,” Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said that he worries that people don’t understand how bad a Trump presidency will be, and one example is that Trump “will work with the fossil fuel industry to increase oil production,” and that will say “that the fight against climate change has basically been lost.”
Sanders said, “[W]hat I am concerned about is I think that many people don’t understand what a Trump presidency will look like, and it will be a disaster, not only for our country, but I think for the world. And if you…look at the issues, and I don’t want to rattle them all off, but take something like climate change, every sane person on this earth understands that the world is getting warmer. Right now, in Texas, there’s a terrible forest fire, the worst they’ve ever had. We’ve seen fires all over the world, heat waves, storms, unprecedented. Truth is, Trump doesn’t even believe in the concept of climate change, will work with the fossil fuel industry to increase oil production, etc. And that will send a signal all over the world that the fight against climate change has basically been lost. And I wonder what kind of planet our kids and grandchildren will inherit.”

Trump “will work with the fossil fuel industry to increase oil production,”
Hey Bernie...I already said I’m voting for him...you don’t have to convince me!
Doesn’t increasing oil production hurt Russia where it hits the hardest??? Someone forgot to tell the lefties that.
The primary greenhouse gas is water vapor. CO2 is a trace gas which makes up approximately .04% of our atmosphere (78% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen, .9% Argon). Yes, that’s 99% of the atmosphere is made up of Nitrogen, Oxygen, & Argon. Animals need O2, plants need CO2. Higher concentrations of CO2 are beneficial for plants and do not cause warming. Warming is caused by the sun, earth’s elliptical orbit and axis wobble, and a number of other factors. The Climate change/crisis promoters are con artists & the ignorant. Bernie Sanders falls into both categories.
Actually, from what I’ve read, man’s co2 takes up a mere 0.00136% of the atmosphere (and some estimates have it even less). Man doesnt emit enough co2 to cause a shift in climate one way or the other. Nowhere near enough. THe ly8ng left make it seem like man has caused a thick blanket of co2 to envelop the glob, preventing any heat from escaping.
The fact thoug is that man’s co2, combined with natural co2 is such a small amount that it is impossible for it to,shift climates globally or even locally.
TO give an example of how little there is- it would,be akin to taking a large 20 ounce glass of 90 degree water, and putting in one tiny drop (which would equal 0.00136% of the contents of the glass) of 100 degree water, and then claiming that the drop will cause “catastrophic warming” inside tHe glass.
It’s obvious Bernie skipped econ 101 for Marxism 101.
It’s as though these people think we’ve never seen a Trump POTUS before, the gaslighting of “he’ll be a disaster” was proven false during his term.
Yes, we’ll go back to everything going in the right direction! The horror!
People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices. It is impossible indeed to prevent such meetings, by any law which either could be executed, or would be consistent with liberty and justice. But though the law cannot hinder people of the same trade from sometimes assembling together, it ought to do nothing to facilitate such assemblies; much less to render them necessary. - Adam Smith, Wealth of Nations (1776)The minute Biden “read the riot act” to all the oil companies, telling them that oil was going to become a non factor in the economy, the result was directly and exactly “a conspiracy against the public, and a contrivance to raise prices.” Far from demanding that they compete at arm’s link to satisfy society’s need/desire for energy, as any liberal antimonopolist would do. Biden’s dictum constituted permission and encouragement for the oil companies to cease competing. So they did, reducing their expenditures on producing more oil and reducing the supply - forcing up the price of oil precisely as a cartel would do.
In the past year I have been listening to “reason,” as Bernie would have it, to the extent that I now can relate to Elon Musk’s prediction that - a critical tipping point having been passed due in no small part to abusive Biden action - battery electric vehicles have become seriously competitive with gasoline-fueled vehicles. I have bought what for me is a serious chunk of Tesla stock as a result. But - recall the “Osborne Effect” - it is at present a good time to hold off on buying a new car, if you can.
The problem is precisely that BEVs (read almost exclusively Teslas) have been coming down in price and can be expected to continue to do so in the future. Which means that used Tesla prices face serious price competition from new Teslas. So if you’re considering a new car, sharpen your pencil to see if you should prefer a new Tesla - but altho I wouldn’t expect a Tesla’s performance to degrade I would expect declining resale value. So try not to buy - any car - unless you can be happy holding on to it for the longish term.
It was 29 degrees last night in Eastern Washington.
Not too much global warming to be found.
I hear they got several feet of Global Warming in northern California over the weekend............
It’s not a problem!! My father worked hard for Texaco for over 40 years. Only time he missed a day was for a flu epidemic in the 1960’s. The nurse at the refinery was so concerned she came to our house to check on him. When that old fool, Biden, took the oil out of the equation, he stole every Texan’s legacy from them and that just isn’t right. I’d give anything to have my Daddy back for just one more day but I am glad he was not here to see what Biden has done to the oil industry. He just wouldn’t understand it. I know I don’t.
Best campaign ad that we didn’t have to pay for....
Even the left is saying it!!! Trump will increase oil production and bring down the cost of energy, and help make the USA energy independent reducing our dependance on foreign nations.
Win, win, win.
Poster Child for birth control
LOL
Tell them that increased energy production helps Ukraine and watch their heads explode like Norman in ST:TOS “I, Mudd” episode.
Folks like us know that. We watched “Mr. Wizards World “ as kids.
I want to pay twice as much for Saudi Arabian oil!!
