What do you say about that?


hahahaha. I'm guessing no answer to that.
Are you trying to make an argument that we should think that was a good thing?

Dear, I'd never tell you what to think. You might take lesson from this.

Then maybe be clear with what you're saying? Because you're not making any clear argument from my perspective.

I could honestly not care less to what party the ignorant person who passed that law belonged.

And as the experts have said, this was not your normal hurricane.

It's way too complex of an issue for most of the dull points in this forum and way too sophisticated of an issue for the zealots thats think that something like the Kyoto accords would do anything whether the US signed it or not. (naive)

I write this as a believer that global warming has a man-made contribution.

P.S. Anyone butt hurt over this post please address:
1) The nations that signed Kyoto grew their emissions more than the US which didn't and that the "off-shoring" nations like China etc. wouldn't even sign it.

2) Would global warming mean more hurricanes hitting NC? It's called climate CHANGE for a reason which might mean more for NY or TX and less for NC. Something to think about.

Are these the same experts that lied when they called Super Storm Sand a 1 in 500 or 1000 year storm?

You're not incorrect that most international deals will have little effect. But that doesn't mean we as a species should abandon all efforts.

And swing a full 180 on this issue as Trump's WH has certainly isn't helpful.

Trump? That has 0 to do with this topic.

The bill in question, was signed into law by a Democrat Governor and while Obama was President. I'm not sure what part of that escapes you guys intent on making this a political topic.

These are the same folks who have absolute, unquestioning faith in "God", because their pastor/family/friends have told them that they just have to "believe" and "have faith", yet when proven science is shown to them, they disregard it as a "hoax".

Just another of hundreds of reasons that the Dumbing Down of America is deliberate, targeted, and highly effective.

Take a bow Republicans.

Please follow along. Reading isn't difficult. Do understand what I was writing in reply to.

And as I said above, this NC law was stupid. I don't care what party affiliation it arose from (I would be interested to know why you think I should care?).

Regardless of what NC does on its own, the national focus and language in this issue was very obviously in the opposite direction. For the better.

Trump's 180 is not the correct direction.
