CO2 is not a climate driver.

CO2 is beneficial to LIFE.

What was the CO2 levels during the Cambrian Explosion?

The power mad FREAKS found their way to tax the air.

This whole climate alarmism is the hugest SCAM in history!

The US hasn't done enough and with Trumps relaxation of standards on Methane releases from fracking and increased auto efficiency standards we can certainly do more rather than point fingers. China is way ahead of us in terms of going green, we have stagnated after our recent success.


China consumes 3.4 metric tons of fossil fuels per person, China is around 7.

When someone has been shown many times that something is flat out wrong...and flat out a lie
...and they keep repeating it

China going green is one of the biggest lies.....no country has increased their CO2 emissions more than China

....please stop repeating this flat out lie

China emissions > https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...ederations.png

No country has increased their coal consumption more than China > https://www.ceicdata.com/datapage/ch...onsumption.svg

No country has increased their coal plants more than China > https://www.wired.com/story/china-is...w-coal-plants/

"In addition to roughly 1,000 gigawatts of existing coal capacity, China has 121 gigawatts of coal plants under construction, which is more than is being built in the rest of the world combined"

"Coal Plants Shut Down At Second Fastest Rate On Record During Trump’s Third Year In Office"

And of course, you would know what with you having earned a PhD in a scientific discipline and all.

According to UNESCO, there were 7.8 MILLION scientists worldwide engaged in research and development in 2013 (most recent date I could find in a quick Google search). That's more crooks and liars then the Mexican mafia and the US mafia combined. That's also one hell of a lot of people for some dark ops entity to pay off in the name of creating a single global government.

Also according to UNESCO, global gross expenditure on research and development (GERD) totalled 1.48 trillion PPP (purchasing power parity) dollars in 2013.

World GERD grew faster (30.5%) than the global economy (20.1%) between 2007 and 2013. This was largely because the private sector in wealthier countries maintained or increased its own level of spending on R&D over this period, even though public commitment to R&D declined in many of these countries in the context of austerity budgets.
- Facts and Figures from UNESCO

So much for your lobbyist theory. You flat earthers have been backed into such a tight corner that you will say literally anything trying to defend your cause. The conspiracy theories that you people come up with are as astonishing as they are endless.

No Republican should be surprised or even upset when people refer to them as "uneducated" or a "low information" group of voters. Just keep on putting your fingers in your ears and loudly chanting "Windmills cause cancer!" and "Rake the forests!" whenever you find yourself within the vicinity of a rational person who might burst your bubble.

So what did Obama actually do to reverse climate change????


Obama told us the cause of terrorism is climate change


So it is safe to blame all your problems on climate change and then sign the paris accord, handout free money to be wasted and stolen and then claim you actually produced measurable results showing a reversal of climate change.


Bet Obama was an inca priest in his other life and told people he would return the sun after it was eclipsed.


maybe he has a magic wand?


to bad he never used it on the economy1

‘BS” Artist Barack Obama Says Australia Fire Crisis Is an Example of 'Very Urgent' Effects of Climate Change
