It will lower the increase in the rising oceans by a whopping two centimeters.
The truth is there is nothing we can do about climate change. Cutting back a bit here and there is going to do absolutely nothing. It would take at a minimum, a complete shutdown of modern technology all over the planet. We would essentially have to go back to living as we did before the industrial revolution, and that is not going to happen.
When are liberals going to take climate change seriously?
Barbra Streisand, a climate change activist, just flew her three dogs 10,000 Miles on a separate private jet so they could hear her concert.
Al Gore has the carbon footprint of Godzilla.
Oprah, another climate activist, has at least six highly wasteful mega mansions and a private jet.
How many elitist liberals drive around in gas guzzling stretch limos, have multiple mega mansions, and wasteful conspicuous consumption?????
Wait! I was beat over the head multiple times that the freakin Paris climate accords were the only way to save the planet...then why the hell is Paris burning? huh libs?
Looks like Trump knew it from the total scam we all suspected it was. Thanks mr President!
PARIS/LONDON (Reuters) - "Soaring temperatures broke records in Germany, France, Britain and the Netherlands on Thursday as a heatwave gripped Europe for the second time in a month, in what scientists said were becoming more frequent events as the planet heats up.
“There is a 40-50% chance that this will be the warmest July on record. This heatwave is exactly in line with climate change predictions,” said Dr Karsten Haustein at the Environmental Change Institute at the University of Oxford.
Peter Inness, senior research fellow at the University of Reading, said: “The fact that so many recent years have had very high summer temperatures both globally and across Europe is very much in line with what we expect from man-made global warming.”

108 F in Paris. Absolutely unheard of. Manmade climate change is no longer an abstract concept, it is here, it is now, and it's causing tremendous property damage, lost crops and deaths worldwide with increasing frequency.
What climate model predicted Saharan air moving to Europe in summer of 2019 as a result of low pressure system? None.... Global warming fanatics... Pft

As with 99% of posts here, it is an opinion, yes. That is what we do here, isn't it? Give our opinions on issues?
When I served, we called the folks that forecasted the weather, weather guessers. They were wrong at least as often as they were right.
In 2018 I retired and on the day of my retirement it was forecast that we would have 6 to 9 inches of snow. I don't know that a single flake fell that day.
Where I live now I watch the weather and the daily calls for rain. The day before yesterday they called for rain between 11 am until 6 pm. Not a drop. They do cover their butts well though. They always qualify it with a percentage. 11- 40% 12- 60% 1-60% 2- 50%, etc.
How do I trust these so called experts to guess what the climate will be 50 years from now when they can't get it right an hour in advance?
The global deniers will be unfazed. It’s their political dogma and not open to scientific methodology or reason. The wealthy elites who fund and propagandize denial will become richer and richer and use their wealth and power and move to the last places on earth which are habitable. For the rest of us things are going to be problematic.
Will you reccomend raising taxes on the Europeans? What dogma do you endorse?
We are building on coastal Louisiana and are using our wealth and power on a daily basis!
IPCC > "In climate research and modelling, we should recognize that we are dealing with a coupled non-linear chaotic system, and therefore that the long-term prediction of future climate states is not possible. The most we can expect to achieve is the prediction of the probability distribution of the system's future possible states by the generation of ensembles of model solutions."
Let me know when the global warming fanatics are going to invade China to save the world...
