Liberals don't understand the consequences of their heartfelt projects. The desire for "renewable energy" has lead to the deforestation of the Amazon rain forests; millions of acres of trees are replaced with farmland used to raise switchgrass for biofuels.
and why do you care you dont live in the US? why are you bitching about india, china russia who pollutes 10 times more than the US?
no you are just another trump bashing person who does not understand how the world works
Actually, no, those places do not pollute “10 times more than us”, that is incorrect, and it was just recently that China overtook the U.S. in the amount of pollution they spew, largely as a result of producing consumer goods sold to the United States.
It doesn’t matter where you live or who you vote for, climate change will affect you, no matter where you live.
The same uneducated folks that point to a record rain, heat, or a dry patch in some region of the world.....are the same idiots that provide ammo to the right wingers whom then post stories of record cold etc. etc. etc.
This doesn't help the climate debate, in fact quite the opposite.
People focus too much on temps, record heat or record cold.
The real big issue on planet Earth is desertification. As this point in time roughly half of ALL land area on the planet is arid or semi-arid, basically half the planet (land) is desert or turning into a desert. If much of that desert area could be turned into grassland or forest, we would eliminate much of the negative effects of human caused carbon pollution and send it back to pre-industrial levels.
Climate change hasn't been forgotten. The issue is going to be around for decades to come.
It is merely a vehicle for Income and Wealth redistribution. Your side (Far Left) has now found other ways, and has other priorities now because they are quicker to implement than a nebulous future, un-provable boogey man of man made climate change. That's why you're not hearing about it in the MEDIA (your propaganda) any longer.

Do you have a magic rain machine? If so, make sure you get a patent.
I guess this proves that man has nothing to do with global warming. We have shut down the world and still the temps go up. I guess it is just nature after all.
Bravo.
The OP is just using the climate mantra to bash Trump.

Isn't desertification a consequence of, or at least accelerated by, global warming? Between oceans rising and deserts growing, we may getting squeezed a bit.
