Since the crazy Republican GQP Party doesn't even believe in climate change, this is another crucial reason why these deranged people must NEVER run the Federal government again. --
I don't think anyone 100% disbelieves in global warming, rather the disbelief comes in the process of.
I was taught in grammar school years ago that the Earth is getting warmer because we are coming out of an ice age, so global warming makes overall sense. We were taught to live with it and not to build homes 10 or 20 feet from the ocean break point -- build your home 250 feet or more from the ocean. Makes sense.
However, I think that many do not believe (including me) that humans are 100% responsible for every warmer degree of temperature - and continue to be.
The Earth is 4.3 billion years old; we've been collecting temperatures for just ~150 years - or less, and with rather unreliable thermometers for decades at first. So there is no real history for temperatures out of 4.3 billion years.
Starting with various pollution laws then came the Clean Air Act of 1970 and others like it, which I think have helped curtail air pollution. Let's keep going.
But don't you think the 10,000s of nuclear bombs and hydrogen bombs detonated in the mid-1900s warmed things up a bit? Like the H-bomb "
Mike" (similar one linked) that blew up half of the Pacific Ocean. Don't you think that billions of gallons of ocean water boiled that day?
And what about covering thousands of square miles with solar panels. Some scientists say that the sun's rays will be reflected back up into the atmosphere, causing warming. They do have a point. Concentrated sun rays result in a great amount of heat.
You made us pay for catalytic converters on all cars and even included a felony charge for tampering or removing them. Ever have one or two 'go' on you @ $2,000 each? It is not fun. I can't wait to see the hidden charges in the green new deal which democrats will get passed even if one little piece at a time - all $100 Trillion++ of it. But we don't know what's in the bill, of course, because as that stupid idiot Pelosi tells us "you never know what's in a bill until it's passed" which is an asinine and absurd statement to make.
The point here is - we could spend $1 quadrillion and give democrats every single thing they want and the whole thing will be filled with corruption and fraud - just like we're now seeing with the COVID funds now - and yet the entire green new deal will be a failure like every other big-ticket item the democrats spend a ton of money on.
It is an absolute waste as all the democrats are doing is redistributing wealth. The global temperatures will never, ever come down or remain stable and they all know it.
They'll be begging China to build cheap solar panels and windmills. Where are all of those solar and wind jobs Biden promised 2 years ago? They are not here in the USA.
Think back to 1980 when scientists were telling us with 100% certainty that the world would run out of oil by the year 2000. The speed limit was cut to 55 mph, which turned out to be a total failure except for ticket-writers who made a ton of money. That was only 40 years ago.
Now we have so much oil (and more discovered daily) it cannot be pumped out of the ground fast enough and we are just going to leave it there forever? Abandon all of that wealth?
I doubt that highly.
