Nailed it. I’m not giving up one luxury or quality of life standard for climate change.

So long as we have clowns driving massive luxury pickup trucks a dime a dozen, I’m going to enjoy my sports car right a long with them.

Sorry liberals, the world’s climate will be here long after we’re all gone. It will be just fine.

I wouldn’t call it a hoax but the solution (downgrade your lifestyle, vote for stupid legislation) is certainly a hoax to give bureaucrats more power.

Politicians like Al Gore will gladly tell you to drive a bike while they ride in their Cadillac Escalade.

Nice try liberals.

Trump just signed some save the Seas act. Bottom line is this. The United States has lowered carbon emissions greatly in the past 10 years at great expense. An expense that has been passed along to the North American consumer. Carbon emissions are at historic lows in the United States. The problem has been other countries, China, India, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Dubai just to name a few that continue to pollute at record numbers. Saudi and Dubai don't even have any type of EPA agency whats so ever. The permanent damage they did to the Sea and their eco-system when they dredged billions of cubic feet to create Palm Jumeirah, as well as other islands, is inconceivable. What can Trump do about that? We can scold them. We can hold back money, sanctions, tariffs etc... At the end of the day, each country is responsible for themselves. That's why the Paris accords were a joke and Trump was correct to pull out. We shoulder 90% of the burden while the rest of the world does what it wants and make minimal changes that they aren't even required to undertake today. Enough of the play now pay later mentality. These countries need to take responsibility for the way they pollute today.

Oh, and by the way. The volcano in Hawaii that has been erupting for months that started in May, the one the media just forgot about because they couldn't figure out a way how to blame Trump for it? Well, that eurruption is just ending now and, has added more carbon to the atmosphere than anything humans will contribute in the next 1000 years. That ash will also cool the planet by a half degree. So get your heavy coats out people. Winters coming and it's going to be a cold one. Brrrrrrrr.

Please share with us your proof of a single volcano adding more carbon than all of civilization.
Note that those greatly lowered carbon emissions are because a strong EPA during athe past administration.
I suspect we won’t be able to brag about continued lower carbon admissions in a few short years.
