Do liberals actually think Democrats will solve Climate Change? (school, money, state)

Well, that's impossible compared to Climate Change.

It's a total MYSTERY how to get drug addicts off the street. Their solution is to open up the southern border. That might help the homeless problem.

Back in the 1970s, the "consensus by the experts" was that we're entering a new ice age and believe it or not, they blamed carbon as being responsible for that cooling.

Well, if it was nuclear bomb testing, don't tell Biden. He'd be dropping bombs all over the US next thing we know.

The cool period actually extended a little longer than 1975. The winters here in 1976 and again in 1977 were the coldest consecutive years on record. As I recall, some scientists were even proposing dropping coal dust (or something black) on the polar regions so the ice would soak up more sun and melt everything. Then, next thing we know, we're into global warming. Kinda make a person wonder ....

The terminology has changed every decade to reflect the agenda of the time.

Of course we should continue the work for clean air, water, soil, etc. No one argues that point.

Even some land/wildlife management efforts are needed. All good with most people.

However, climate science is not certain. It is continually evolving.

I think we will finally get a handle on it when we can confidently control the earths orbit around the sun and all of the related effects.

Wow, I had not heard/read of that. That's amazing-ly stupid!

That line of thinking brings me back to today's crazy propositions of injecting sulfur dioxide capsules in the upper atmosphere and the latest news is that a start-up has done just that, from Mexico.

I heard or read somewhere, that we'd have to cut our carbon footprint by 80% for 20 yrs to have any impact on our climate.

An 80% reduction would mean; no car, no HVAC, no major appliances, no air travel.

Who is ready to sign up for that?

even if we cut our CO2 to zero....we could never go back to where we were

China now emits over twice as much CO2 as we do....and the developing world even more than that

these so called climate scientists know that....and they know it's all a scam

I think we should do all possible to clean up the oceans and rivers. I think we should stop using plastic and practice conservation and moving away from meat centric diets because it’s the worst for the environment. Just ask the poor people in NC about the dead pigs and tons and tons of pig poop being sprayed over fields. But I do not believe that not flying and driving is going to do jack for the climate.

Klaus Schwab and the WEF Dark Empire are working on tools right now to leverage our control/compliance under the guise of carbon footprint guilting.

The Church of ESG is also working hard to put the fear into the hearts of all its followers..

The Dems are banging the drum of "existential crisis"

And Greta is making angry twitter posts.

Climate lockdowns coming soon from our benevolent overlords.

And in the last 500 years, basically everything we have today in terms of knowledge, living standards, government, laws, technology came into existence.

All of mankind's success happened only in the warm post glacial Holocene period.

Now if somehow the robot drones who believe the globaloney warming con could turn on their logic centers long enough to soak up that information.

But the GW drones lack the power of reasoning, they are herded like sheep or cattle, wherever the trail boss wants them to go. Fear, panic, "emergency" will keep the cattle stampeding toward the slaughterhouse.

Yes, this agitprop is drilled in from K onwards. Only now they're being twisted into thinking they're some make-believe gender. We live in truly dangerous times.

Suppose the temperature was to raise 2 degrees, what would actually happen? Do scientists even know?
