BAKU, Azerbaijan — America’s top climate diplomat John Podesta told foreign officials Monday that the U.S. remains committed to fighting climate change, even if President-elect Donald Trump isn’t.

Treason!
The clintoons sure love themselves some government graft.
Drill, baby, drill!
Mr President, you are going to put him on the permanent NO FLY list so he can save the world from pollution, right??
If you have to tell people that science is still science, then you probably are not engaged in science.
Fraud is still fraud.
Pedophilia is still pedophilia.
Isn’t Podesta one of the Clintonistas who practiced Spirit Cooking?
About time for me to post this again:
For those curious:
CO2 only absorbs infrared light aka heat in two very narrow bands of wavelengths (think “colors” of heat). In those narrow bands, CO2 is almost completely opaque.
Even at only 0.04% of our atmosphere, CO2 absorbs almost all infrared light in those bands within a few tens of meters. Hence, if you increased CO2 by even 10 times, the total amount of infrared light (again, heat) absorbed by the atmosphere would NOT CHANGE.
Think about it like this: You have 10,000 sheets of very thin semi-opaque paper. Each sheet abosbs 0.04% of light passing through it. That means those 10,000 sheets will aborb almost all of the light passing through them.
Note: the math is a little complicated. First sheet aborbs 0.04% of the light leaving 99.96% left. Next sheet abosorbs 0.04% of the remaining 99.96% leaving about 99.92%. Next sheet aborbs about 99.96% of that, leaving 99.88% left. After about 10,000 sheets, only about 1.83% of the light is left. Basically all of it has been absorbed (and likely converted into heat).
Consider those sheets to be about 1 meter thick (that is a gross overestimation — it’s probably more like 10 cm thick, but erring on the side of a conservative estimate). That means your 10,000 sheets are a combined 10km thick. The atmosphere is about 10,000km thick. Hence all infared light is abosbed in the first 1/1,000th of the atmosphere.
How much more light is absobed if you increase the opaqueness of those sheets? Answer: NONE.
Outside of those narrow bands, CO2 is almost completely transparent. So again, if you increased CO2 by even 10 times, the amount of infrared light (again, heat) would NOT CHANGE.
Now the climate “scientists” try to handwave and “computer model” their way around these basic physics facts. After all, computer models are always right (/sarc). But that’s how the REAL physics works.
Short version: manmade aka CO2 caused climate change is not just a hoax, it is not even a very good hoax for those who know the physics. Unfortunately, the level of basic physics education in this nation is basically nil with the exception of real engineers, physicists, and scientists.
Furthermore, why does CO2 only make up 0.04% of our atmosphere? The answer is simple: CO2 is PLANT FOOD. More CO2 simply means more plants and thus more O2 (oxygen). The plants including trees, grass, and mostly plankton simply gobble it all up. “Carbon based life forms” anyone in the class?

And Marxist politics is still Marxist politics.
You have some kind of unending authority we don't know about, Podesta?
The U.S. will do what the President of the U.S. says. Now FOAD.
But=== this is NOT Science at all! Provably not Science- legions of actual scientists have examined and disproven the “theory” driving this scam.
Besides some village in Timbuktu, literally no one else in the world cares..
Science is still Politics.
Science is all about the Benjamins.
LOL! Except the “science” never was science!
>> You have some kind of unending authority we don’t know about, Podesta? The U.S. will do what the President of the U.S. says. Now FOAD.
Amen! I am really looking forward to seeing the likes of Podesta and that nauseating arrogant prick John Kerry kicked to the curb.
Can we hang the smarmy a***hole.
Science IS still science, however “manmade climate change” is not.
If you say you are following science, THEN USE SOME SCIENCE NOT IMAGINARY GOOD FEELINGS!
Science is never settled. Continuous debate is encouraged.
Climate Change is settled. No debate is permitted.
Therefore, Climate Change is not science.
arrogant fool!.....He's well known for being 'an environmental extremist.'
Say the people who claim that men can get pregnant and menstruate.
