Should we do that tomorrow or the day after in order to avoid all that carbon in the air? What alternatives will we use? How do you manage to run an auto down a highway using wind power? Do you know just how much wind power can do to replace coal when it takes a year or more to build a wind farm? Do we do without electricity for a few years until someone thinks up a way to replace coal for generation of electricity?
I wouldn't mind at all if someone had a good replacement but we can't just stop using coal for electricity since so many people are dependent on that kind of power.
Who said anything about tomorrow, we are talking long term. Life 100 years from now will be quite different lacking any scientific developments, there may not be any cars in 2112. Good idea to promote more wind farms, etc now considering the immediate downside.
As soon as the leftie global warning liars start moving out of Boston, NYC and other coastal areas rich with people who make BILLIONS off of he scam, I'll be a believer!
We have been short of hurricanes, so far this year. I don't know about blizzards but I don't see many of them as bad as when I was a child. Do you not know that the east side of Antarctica is continually freezing more water? You need to stop basing all your thinking on left leaning, UN type of thinking.
We just began the hurricane season, too early to make any predictions but we had an extremely warm winter in the east, that's just weather but unlike any we have seen. This is not left leaning, this is NASA, USGS and most of the scientists, the planet is warming.

This is what happens when the West unilaterally reduces carbon emissions...manufacturing goes to developing nations with environmental standards lower than the West. Along with job losses any environmental gain is suspect. 40% of India's children suffer from malnutrition, they will not put brakes on their economy because sea level might rise a few inches in the next century.
It's a tough sell in a 3rd world country where they have people starving when the US is the largest consumer of fossil fuels.
The only real climatologist I trust is Joe Bastardi.
He is spot on with his forecasts.
I just purchased flood insurance because he determined that we are in the same weather pattern as we were in the 1950's when we had 9 hurricanes come up the east coast.
It's all about weather patterns, not global warming.
The sea level on a stretch of the US Atlantic coast that features the cities of New York, Norfolk and Boston is rising up to four times faster than the global average, a report said Sunday.
This increases the flood risk for one of the world's most densely-populated coastal areas and threatens wetland habitats, said a study reported in the journal Nature Climate Change.
Since about 1990, the sea level along the 1,000-kilometre (620-mile) "hotspot" zone has risen by two to 3.7 millimetres (0.08 to 0.15 inches) per year
China now makes more cars than the US; if it keeps going that way, China WILL be the largest user of those fuels within a few years.
Interest in cars is dropping with many people born after 1990; the "hot rod" is more of a thing for people born between 1935 and 1980.
Yes China will most likely be the worst offender in the near future, that should not be our standard. HumVees were a big seller not too long ago, they along with the boating industry are disappearing because of fuel cost, not environmental concern. Mileage requirements for new vehicles were non existent fo rthe last few decades, only recently changed.
