The Obama-era "endangerment finding" allows the EPA to regulate CO2 and other gases as "air pollutants," raising costs for energy, vehicles, appliances, and making domestic manufacturing, refining, and semiconductor production more challenging and expensive. This executive agency overreach may soon be scaled back.
 
Everyone needs to relax and just exhale.
 
The "endangerment finding" hasn't made anyone more healthy. If anything, it's sucked money from purses and wallets that could have been used for things that actually pertain to health.
Yes I get it. You don't believe in the impacts of man made climate change. Nothing new.
 
It is funny listening to MAGAs complain about "executive overreach".

But nothing Trump and climate deniers might do can change the fact that the studies were conducted and the findings reported.
 
$$$ > Health always

Jesus would be proud

And so many conservatives have even begged us to tell them why we dont support the GOP or the right. I remember a poster, aptly named "Conservative", who constantly asked, "what did TACO ever do to you?" Holy shit...he shoveled this agenda his whole first term, for starters.

And not just to me, to future generations. Holy shit, squared

Perfect example of that short-term thinking.
 
The whole premise on greenhouse is based on quack science. If man can't handle .01 degree temp delta how does he survive the four seasons?

Hoy shit cubed. Our school's have completely failed in teaching basic science.

CO2 isn't threatening your health. the CO2 in the room you are currently in is probably double the CO2 level outside and you are fine. Plants love it.

That's cool. I didn't know my room creates storms, floods & droughts + heat waves.

And now the rule is being reversed, and there's nothing the fringe left virtue signalers can do to change the fact that the studies were conducted and the findings reported.
 
Ice shelves….. not so much.

The ice shelves calving isn't CO2 either, in Antarctica it is volcanism. But then Antarctica is also going through a rather dramatic growth in ice...

Much of the snow and glacier melt, especially in the arctic, is due to particulate pollution, but not CO2. The soot that is deposited on the show absorbs sunlight and heats up and causes ice to melt. Clean up soot, not CO2.

Complication: The Majority of the Soot in the Arctic is from China and India.



All of that grey is particulate pollution from China that settles in the arctic causing snow melt. Make China stop doing that...
