I know right. Not like flint happened or anything. Or India’s mythical rivers of garbage.. Or those old legends of burning rivers in Cleveland.. Or those days in L.A. when there was smog advisory warnings.
Nope, never happened..
Flint was Flint and was a **** up beyond **** ups from the locals to the feds. The Cuyahoga River has been cleaned up. The LA smog is gone.
Note, the latter two are the US. Why should the US be punished for the pollution issues of India, which is essentially what all these so called agreements do-punish the developed countries primarily the US while the major polluters get to continue on.
The MD DoE currently fines local sewer operators $1000/gallon for sewage spills no matter the reason even if it's contained without reaching a waterway.
It is the greatest and most successful pseudoscientific fraud I have seen in my long life as a physicist. Anyone who has the faintest doubt that this is so should force himself to read the ClimateGate documents, which lay it bare. (Montford’s book organizes the facts very well.) I don’t believe that any real physicist, nay scientist, can read that stuff without revulsion. I would almost make that revulsion a definition of the word scientist.
I agree that most of the "green" pledges/pacts are green as in money, not actually being green. They are a money and power grab. Countless studies have shown that global warming is natural and cyclic, and that a large volcanic event can emit some 200 years worth of human emissions. That said, there is no harm embracing more renewable energy sources and efficient vehicles to help clean up our pollutant emissions for our own health and economic gains.
The USA was the only nation of the 20 that greatly reduced their carbon emissions in 2017....the other 19 aren't coming close to their commitments....they pledge, we do, this has always been the way it is.
"the other 19 aren't coming close to their commitments." Just like their other commitments!
exactly. its all a big nothing burger until world leaders pledge to reduce human population. that is the only way you are going to minimize manmade climate change.
And what, mathematically, would be the best way to create that occurrence in the US?
